Feynman smiles

Nice article, but I ain't asking that question. The comments are interesting, though overpopulated with assholes. One non-asshole writes:
"One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him.

The scientist walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided that we no longer need you. We're to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, so why don't you just go on and get lost."

God listened very patiently and kindly to the man and after the scientist was done talking, God said, "Very well, how about this, let's say we have a man making contest." To which the scientist replied, "OK, great!"

But God added, "Now, we're going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam."

The scientist said, "Sure, no problem" and bent down and grabbed himself a handful of dirt.

God just looked at him and said, "No, no, no. You go get your own dirt!"

A great one: Watched a clip of Dawkins on Lovelock's Gaia theory the other night. For a display of unscientific, closed minded, arrogant stupidity it took the whole packet of biscuits. Made me think a bit about his comments on other subjects, like this one.

How's that for an asinine comment: Calculus is used to create models of continuous universes. Our universe is discontinuous. If you must have a god, His native language isn't Calculus.

Of course, if this means CDs beats \lessim, than maybe this makes some sense.

Willing to lay it all on the line, eh, Tecs, and just for thirty pieces of silver...
