7:40 pm	What does god say? God Damn it. There are three things (that I can think of off the top of my head) that endlessly piss me off. -The fucking "War on Drugs" -Sport Utility Vehicles -god damn mother fucking christian conservatives http://www.cnn.com/2005/EDUCATION/05/15/kansas.evolution.ap/index.html First they are trying to teach their pseudoscience in science classes. Now they are trying to redefine the definition of science that has been around since the Ancient Greeks to incorporate their bullshit fairy tales because their fairy tales are constantly being disproven by science. Is America descending into a Dark Age? I know not everyone in this country is a fucking Christian Conservative, so then why are we so fucking NICE to them? "Oh no, you don't want to upset the Christains!" It seems like Americans keep getting dumber and fatter. I hate it. Fuck Kansas! They are probably the fucking fattest. And obviously the dumbest. YOU PEOPLE ARE AGAINST EVOLUTION AND "DON'T BELIEVE IT" BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT BECAUSE YOU HAVE HAD A SHITTY EDUCATION IN SCIENCE AND ARE COMPLETELY IGNORANT. EVOLUTION IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE, UNLESS YOU HAVE COMPELLING, SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE. Yeah, science is about questioning things that are already known and trying to amend previous theories to make them more compatible with reality. But this job is for SCIENTISTS WHO UNDERSTAND THE THEORIES IN THE FIRST PLACE, NOT FOR SCHOOL BOARDS FULL OF RELIGIOUS WACK-JOBS AND POLITICIANS. And for those people who say shit like "oh, evolution is just a THEORY"....LOOK UP THE FUCKING DEFINITION OF 'THEORY', MORON. "Creationists make it sound like a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night." -Isaac Asimov "Faith is believing something you know ain't true." -Mark Twain Current Mood: GAH Current Music: DNBRADIO - Fresh Drum and Bass, Jungle, and Liquid Funk (Comment on this)

2:50 am	scientifical american Okay, We Give Up We feel so ashamed By The Editors There's no easy way to admit this. For years, helpful letter writers told us to stick to science. They pointed out that science and politics don't mix. They said we should be more balanced in our presentation of such issues as creationism, missile defense and global warming. We resisted their advice and pretended not to be stung by the accusations that the magazine should be renamed Unscientific American, or Scientific Unamerican, or even Unscientific Unamerican. But spring is in the air, and all of nature is turning over a new leaf, so there's no better time to say: you were right, and we were wrong. In retrospect, this magazine's coverage of so-called evolution has been hideously one-sided. For decades, we published articles in every issue that endorsed the ideas of Charles Darwin and his cronies. True, the theory of common descent through natural selection has been called the unifying concept for all of biology and one of the greatest scientific ideas of all time, but that was no excuse to be fanatics about it. Where were the answering articles presenting the powerful case for scientific creationism? Why were we so unwilling to suggest that dinosaurs lived 6,000 years ago or that a cataclysmic flood carved the Grand Canyon? Blame the scientists. They dazzled us with their fancy fossils, their radiocarbon dating and their tens of thousands of peer-reviewed journal articles. As editors, we had no business being persuaded by mountains of evidence. Moreover, we shamefully mistreated the Intelligent Design (ID) theorists by lumping them in with creationists. Creationists believe that God designed all life, and that's a somewhat religious idea. But ID theorists think that at unspecified times some unnamed superpowerful entity designed life, or maybe just some species, or maybe just some of the stuff in cells. That's what makes ID a superior scientific theory: it doesn't get bogged down in details. Good journalism values balance above all else. We owe it to our readers to present everybody's ideas equally and not to ignore or discredit theories simply because they lack scientifically credible arguments or facts. Nor should we succumb to the easy mistake of thinking that scientists understand their fields better than, say, U.S. senators or best-selling novelists do. Indeed, if politicians or special-interest groups say things that seem untrue or misleading, our duty as journalists is to quote them without comment or contradiction. To do otherwise would be elitist and therefore wrong. In that spirit, we will end the practice of expressing our own views in this space: an editorial page is no place for opinions. Get ready for a new Scientific American. No more discussions of how science should inform policy. If the government commits blindly to building an anti-ICBM defense system that can't work as promised, that will waste tens of billions of taxpayers' dollars and imperil national security, you won't hear about it from us. If studies suggest that the administration's antipollution measures would actually increase the dangerous particulates that people breathe during the next two decades, that's not our concern. No more discussions of how policies affect science either-so what if the budget for the National Science Foundation is slashed? This magazine will be dedicated purely to science, fair and balanced science, and not just the science that scientists say is science. And it will start on April Fools' Day. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa004&articleID=000E555C-4387-1237-81CB83414B7FFE9F Thank god for scientists. I don't care about the word "god" being in the pledge of allegiance or even the ten commandments being in governmental buildings. The thing i care about is religious WACKOS trying to teach their FAIRYTALES in SCIENCE CLASS. THAT IS THE DOWNFALL OF THIS COUNTRY. and the whole...patriot act thing. You people are in fucking denial. We have science, which is based on observations and experiments, to explain how things work in the world. We don't need your 2000 year old book of stories to explain it to us. MOVE ON. Current Music: Infected Mushroom- cities of the future (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:55 pm	I wrote this review for "What the Bleep Do We Know?" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0399877/) at amazon.com. All the other reviews were like 5/5 stars!!! and i was like "wtf!?@" so i thought ide give it a go. 1/5 stars. As a science student, I was extremely excited when I first saw the fliers for "What the Bleep..." Quantum physics illustrates some of the most mysterious and mind-blowing characteristics of our universe and I thought this movie was going to be about Quantum physics. I would hardly call this a movie about Quantum physics. Full of new age philosophies and "experts" fit for cable access, "What the bleep..." was a huge disappointment. I do not claim to know everything about this topic (as there is so much to learn), but I know the difference between science and pseudoscience. This movie felt like one long introduction for a movie about Quantum physics--"experts" kept explaining how amazing and weird quantum physics is without ever actually explaining it! There was no mention of the double-slit experiments, Schrödinger's cat, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, etc. I guess I was expecting something of "Nova" quality and instead, got a bunch of new age hippies talking about "creating your own reality, blah blah." Perhaps this is a step in the right direction towards science awareness. For future refrence, for people thinking about making a science-themed movie/documentary: the truth is a lot more amazing and weird and mind-blowing than the pseudoscience, not to mention more important. im so smart!
