The dangers of being funny
<div class="IPBDescription">Or, how fragmaster insulted darwin.</div>For those who have read the PHL review of NS by fragmaster, he's recieved a couple of hate mails regarding his one Darwin joke in the whole thing. Read the review (it's stickied here and also on the top of RR.org) and then consider the following:

Leave the Bible humping anti-logic out of your articles, alright? Nobody goes to your site to listen to some Baptist half-wit rant about Charles Darwin. And furthermore, you run a site devoted to a game that involves constant killing. You also ridiculed a man who's been long dead. God might not appreciate that, you know? Might want to check your double standards at the door. Darwin was a brilliant man who dared challenge an out-of-date belief system and you, a low-level web moderator, have no business critizing his research since everything you've learned was from some shmuck in a robe shoving threats of fire and damnation down your slimey gullet. Stick to reviewing games, because your logic and reason fails miserably.
This man made Idiot Mail of the Week on PHL - let's give him a hand.

I should probably explain that, but at the moment, i feel it would be better to go for the mysterious, "WHAT THE HELL IS HE TALKING ABOUT?!?" vibe than explain. Also, I am feeling extremely lazy.
although if we did come from fish would that mean that fishsticks are murder?
Judges declared the pledge of allegiance unconstitutional. Congressmen on the other hand got all angry about it. Speaking of which, you ever notice all the people getting all angry over that don't go to school or say the pledge on a regular basis?

I know, I was just stating that I don't really get angry. Just reminding people that. SO SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN! <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo--> (BTW, I <b>was</b> kidding when I said that last part)
BTW, does anyone know what Darwin was studying to be before he was invited to go on the HMS Beagle? Bonus points if you can call it!

To be sure, the vast majority of people who are untrained can accept the results of science only on authority. But there is obviously an important difference between an establishment that is open and invites everyone to come, study its methods, and suggest improvement, and one that regards the questioning of its credentials as due to wickedness of the heart, such as [Cardinal] Newman attributed to those who questioned the infallibility of the Bible...Rational science treats its credit notes as always redeemable on demand, while non-rational authoritarianism regards the demand for the redemption of its paper as a disloyal lack of faith.
-- Morris Cohen, Reason and Nature, 1931
So the next time someone say Darwin was an atheist, and that's why he thought the naughty thoughts he did, you can smile and nod, content with your newfound knowledge that they have the cause-and-effect seriously confused.

Math and science are the languages God used to write the universe.
