Which is ALSO called a college dorm.

It’s not that I’m busy as much as it is I’m enjoying the last week or summer or so. Like I said earlier, I’m aiming to graduate Fall ‘10 which means lots of ass kicking, summer school and loaded on classes.

And only a week left before it begins!

Dinosaurs Did Not Evolve Quickly In Last 50 Million Years, New Dinosaur Super-tree Shows

It has long been debated whether dinosaurs were part of the ‘Terrestrial Revolution’ that occurred some 100 million years ago during the Cretaceous when birds, mammals, flowering plants, insects and reptiles all underwent a rapid expansion.

Sorry, don’t have much time to talk about it. I just remembered I forgot it yesterday, now I’m heading out to the Iowa State Fair. Yes, the #2 most popular summer activity in the world and I live 20 minutes from it.

This year they have a slice of pineapple dipped in funnel cake ON A STICK. It’ll be great.

We all know about Kirk Cameron’s infamous “Crocaduck”. An animal devised to display the silliness of Evolution… which backfired greatly and only stands as a testament to show how stupid Kirk Cameron is.

In light of that, here are some more animals I dug up that Kirk Cameron can add to his photo gallery of “animals we don’t see” to continue to display on national television.

I void the warranties on things I own and fix them myself. Last year I replaced the LCD screen on my Palm TX. Well, the touch screen no longer functions so I ordered one from the ebay store FixYourPDA. Well, they sure shipped it fast (I got it in 2 days), BUT they sent me the wrong one.

The Palm TX screen is clear all the way through, and that lower gray writing portion on the bottom is retractable. In the older Palms, that gray portion is actually a physical part of the screen itself. So they sent me that one on accident >:O.

They better pay to ship me a brand new one or else I will be extremely angry. I paid a lot of money for it, and according to the package overpaid on shipping by about $6 (That’s how ebayers make their money, by the way).

PISSED PISSED PISSED. I can’t live without my Palm TX during the school year. And also, I love Palm. As pretty and functional as they are, i currently refuse to get an iPod Touch or IPhone. Palm products rules.

The kind of comment that pisses me off so much I WOULD make a video on it, except I do not have a new mic yet. I’ll go and buy one tomorrow probably. So here’s your midnight, half asleep rehash. (It doesn’t help that I’ve been dealing with creationists like it’s my job and I want a promotion this week and am in such a bad mood)

Biogirl, I suggest you go back and watch the rest of Hovind’s particular video on this subject. Then you will have answers for your problems.

So basically this comment starts off suggesting to me that I go back and watch Hovind …which means it’s going to be good. For the sake of redundancy, I would say - just on youtube alone - Kent Hovind has been debunked thoroughly and I don’t need to divulge into why his videos are not a scientific mecca for my answers.

You also make too many assumptions. You assume the animals alive today are exactly the same as they were during the flood 4500 years ago. You also assume the Earth is as it was before the flood, when it isn’t. Also, there weren’t predators before the flood,

Excuse me? Oh wait. “Excuse me”. I make the assumption that the world was as it is 4,500 years ago? Oh please, show me some evidence to the contrary other than a bias because that is how it best aligns with your biblical interpretations. I say the same to “there weren’t any predators before the flood”. And hey, it’s not just ME, some lowly biology undergrad student with Ulead, making these claims. It is the ENTIRE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. My Noah’s Ark video is nothing more than a long, unedited rant playing a small part.

if you actually read the Bible. The rain provided fresh water in abundance. Very poor video.

Aaaah. If you actually read the Bible. Why didn’t I think of that!(!!!!) Christians love to assume Atheists have never read the Bible - surely if they had they would see the light. I was a Christian with great fervor for many years of my young life, and I read the Bible diligently. Except when I started to really study it I suddenly realized what a load of bullshit I had spend 17 years of my life buying into.

But here’s my proposal to you, ericinnit1. I don’t know if you follow the links to my blog or not, nor do I care. You say the world was simply as it was not 4,500 years ago. Let’s just talk about the simple concept of plants. How does the ever enchanting Kent Hovind explain how plants survived an ecological catastrophe? Not only the lack of sunlight from being buried under miles of ocean, but the turbulence of being uprooted, the inability to reproduce, salt exposure? Or were plants, 4,500 years ago, different in that they were protected by the grace of God?

I don’t mind people who are Christians or of any other religion. Believe in what you want and as long as you don’t push it on me I respect that, but this is what bothers me.

The fine folks at Answers in Genesis:

This sort of argument (‘Why would God have done X?’) is really a cheap rhetorical device rather than a real argument for evolution, although Darwin himself made frequent use of it. After all, even if a creationist could not think of a reason (not the case here), it proves nothing more than that a creationist doesn’t possess all knowledge of the Creator’s mind, which has never been a claim of creation theory! This appeal to pseudo-theology is a poor substitute for actually demonstrating that an organ arose by time, chance and natural selection.

If I were making this video (and I assure you, I’d be the last person ever making this video), I would cut to a scene of the poor girl sobbing her eyes out because she was raped and is apparently now being compared to a partially eaten hamburger. Also, the message is just snobby. It’s not like you’re getting sloppy seconds or anything.

Abstinence is good. No life ruining pregnancies and no disgusting life-long genital warts outbreaks. But I’ve always hated the church’s obsession with sex for marriage.  I really do. Suddenly sex is this forbidden fruit that becomes ever MORE tantalizing and inspires the curious activity.

Also, the church appears to act as if being married is the magic cure to replacing awkward with amazing for the first time you have sex. Um yeah. Okay. Sex with a virgin is horrible, and sex with TWO virgins is even worse.  But when it’s not horrible, a woman releases oxytonin (It’s the same hormone released for bonding purposes during breastfeeding). This causes obvious problems when the relationship ends.

But when it comes to horrible virgin sex, the only difference is that it’s a more committed relationship and not with your sleezy two month affectionate from high school. But come on now, you don’t show up for the marathon without some practice runs ;). Personally, I’m a person that’s always prepared.

Anyways. Rant end.

Haha. Fierce. Thanks CapeandCowl. Check out all the recommendations by the way, I’m just passing it along:

I know. You’re excited. Thank you, Lumyrra, the only person who comments on my blog! Scientists recover complete dinosaur skeleton in Mongolia.

Japanese and Mongolian scientists have successfully recovered the complete skeleton of a 70-million-year-old young dinosaur, a nature museum announced Thursday.

The scientists uncovered a Tarbosaurus — related to the giant carnivorous Tyrannosaurus — from a chunk of sandstone they dug up in August, 2006 in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, said Takuji Yokoyama, a spokesman for the Hayashibara Museum of Natural Sciences, a co-organizer of the joint research project.

Now I’m going to sleep hardcore. I have somewhere to be at the god forsaken time of  nine a.m….. on a Saturday. Tragic. I can’t get the italics to shut off so we’ll work with it.

I still only have 3 more Sundays of church left until I leave for the semester. The weeks go by slowly.
