You are a 25-year-old ignorant moron!
Actually, with the complexity of the universe we live in the Flying Spaghetti Monster theory has more credence than the theory of evolution that we just appeared out of some gobbly-gooked prehistoric soup; starting off as some one celled life form and eventually becoming a 25 year old idiot student who thinks that he is creative!!

Well, well. I struck a nerve amongst the educated ones. They object to my characterization of the writer as being an ‘ignorant moron.’ So sorry lads – and lasses as well! I mean no harm. I have thought about it and my words may have been too harsh. I would not really characterize anybody in that way normally; not without it being tongue-in-cheek. So sorry lads – and lasses!
No, it doesn’t take a great education to become completely empty inside. Nor does it take a great lack of it to become a faith-healer-visiting-tongue-speaking-rolling-on-the-floor fanatic. Both of these can occur anywhere between ignorance and higher education.
All I can say is consider the universe and life more closely – if for your own benefit. I am sorry that so many young people have bought into the notion of a meaningless life of chance and no purpose. It may play out well when you are in your 20s and feeling frisky but in the end it will only lead to lonliness, sadness, and despair. There is hope demonstrated in our universe. It is ever evolving and showing its glorious beginning and PURPOSE. It shows its remarkable design and points us to a place where we can have hope – hope that there is something beyond our educated minds.
My apologies – I did not mean to come across so harsh. Ignorant, maybe. A moron? Well others will have to be the judge of that.

It amazes me that creationists think it’s absurd that humans could have evolved to their present state, yet an omniscent being with no beginning is a given! What is harder to envision, again?
There is one certainty in life and that is death. Unfortunately, human beings, in their millions, cannot deal with it. Enter the concept of heaven. People are behaving like little babies and trying to cheat death. Grow up. We are going to die like every other living organism. Deal with it. You can get comfort on your deathbed by looking back and thinking I have led a good and full life with no regrets. Then you can pass away peacefully.
Some childish people want to pretend they are off to some invisible town in the sky. I can use a great example I over heard last week. Little Jack has just lost his dog, aged 16, and is upset. His mother doesn’t like to see him upset. So…
Mummy: ‘Why are you crying Jack, don’t you know where Rex is now’?
Jack: ‘Where’?
Mummy: ‘Doggy heaven’!
Jack: ‘What the fuck’?
Mummy: ‘Yip. Doggy heaven. He’s up there now with a big meaty bone running around with his doggy pals’
Jack feels a little better. Mummy is glad he has stopped crying.
IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT SHE HAS JUST FILLED THAT BOY’S HEAD WITH UTTER BULLSHIT!
Best bit? Adults/Grown ups think they are off to bloody heaven cos they were told it as a kid!!!!!
HYSTERICAL!
You are ignoring the fact that there are still, quite literally, billions of tons of evidence that creatures have evolved. Can you imagine ‘God’ running around planting fossils everywhere… I live out in the middle of nowhere, so if what most creationists think is true, they’re god must have waaaaaay too much time on his hands. I can walk out in almost any direction and find thousands upon thousands of fossils… or maybe it’s just a coincidence that all these little rocks look exactly the same. Or maybe they are tiny mushrooms in the flying spaghetti monsters soup of life.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
