Science Vs. Religion.
In a ten round bout, who wins? That question is meant to be rhetorical. I'll tell you why. It's like pitting an apple vs. lemon on which is better for you. From my standpoint, both are playing in different ballparks. One of them proves how things work. The other is a guideline for life. It's when the two start questioning each other is when the proverbial fur starts to fly.
I would imagine most people would disagree with what I just said. You do not have to agree.
My observations that drew me to that conclusion are as follows. Science doesn't teach you about Morals, Ethics and Values. Religion cannot determine the the atomic weight of gold. Science doesn't offer charity to the downtrodden. Religion wont show you how heart disease works. Science doesn't offer forgiveness if you screw up. Religion did not explain why Boron will absorb the fast acting neutron particle in a runaway nuclear reaction.(Nuclear Reactor operators and chemists will get that one. SCRAM the reactor.)
Religion does show the consequences of certain action's such as infidelity, and Science can prove that the magnitude of a woman's anger is immeasurable.
My point being - both are important in life. Science helps debunk the charlatans who claim a many things, Religion helps us stay on the straight and narrow and helps determine what is right and what is wrong.
Till next time.

So Hungry...
Waiting for a drive to map out all the bad sectors and attempting recovery is making me hungry. Not to mention that it's almost lunch time and I hadn't had breakfast this morning.

Global Warming...
Something that always gets me is all the talk about global warming. I think the politicians and the TV scientists have got it wrong. Let me put it into perspective for you. Global warming in it's very nature, allows life to thrive on this planet. Without global warming, Earth would be a giant ice ball. The Sun has energy to heat this planet, but without the ability to retain the heat, the night side of the planet would be covered in ice.
Now to clarify, the temperature on this planet without the help of the atmosphere to retain the heat would be similar to that of the moon. Now how about too much heat? Would it drastically alter the environment? I suppose if the sun were to explode. How about man made greenhouse gases? Cut down on Carbon Dioxide emissions? The thing most people don't realize is how resilient the Earth itself is. Why do we have Hurricanes some years and not others? Why are earthquakes so frequent when they are small and the big ones are decades apart? Out of all these questions and life is still flourishing on this planet, don't you think that somewhere along the way, the environment compensated for changes in the environment?
Plus a planet being a giant ball of Iron and rock, housing a 1-50 billion chance of supporting life, takes a lot more of what we can throw at it to destroy it.
Till next time...
