Why do people want to teach intelligent design?
Question by Chris K: Why do people want to teach intelligent design?
so, I just watched most of Ben Stein’s documentary: “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed”. Basically, the only clips of people who were for the theory of evolution were something like this:”intelligent design is stupid! Why would you ever believe something as stupid as that?” Ok, intelligent design is not a scientific theory. For one, it is not falsifiable. How could I possibly even try to prove you wrong? If you can show me an elephant fossil that dated to the Precambrian era, I might be a little bit more skeptical about the theory of evolution. Two, an intelligent designer is NOT the most parsimonious explanation for the origins of life on Earth. Yes, I know, cells are very complicated. However, I find it a much simpler explanation that life arose through something like the RNA world hypothesis that I do that the first cell was created by some kind of supreme being. I’m sorry, but I just gotta vent a little after seeing something like that. Don’t get it confused, intelligent design is not science, and it would be a real dis-service to kids to teach it in schools.

Here is a brief overview of the scientific case for ID:

==========================
Most Christians I know don’t want biblical creationism taught in science classes (they would butcher it, and then there’s the argument about all the other creation stories being taught). What we want is for microbes-to-man evolution to be taught with all its warts—in most states, they are not even allowed to present evidence that would put evolution in a poor light. And we want Intelligent Design to at least be mentioned (with teachers free to discuss it without fear of being sacked). Unlike alchemy, storks bringing babies, a flat earth, etc., a significant percentage of the (tax paying) population believes in ID (which is agnostic regarding the source of design and encompasses every “creation” story).
See the New World Encyclopedia entry on Intelligent Design:

Good science teaching should include controversies. But, whenever you mention this kind of stuff, Darwinists jump from their trees and start behaving as if someone had stolen their bananas. Apparently, academic freedom is for other subjects. At the moment, educators are in the interesting position of not teaching students, but instead conditioning them to recite the “correct” answers without a second thought to other possible explanations. Today’s science education does not sufficiently emphasize inquiry-based learning.
What are the Darwinists afraid of? A little critical analysis never hurt anyone who had the evidence on their side. The Darwinists worship their idol but don’t listen to him. He said, “A fair result can be obtained only by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on both sides of each question…” (Charles Darwin, Origin of Species).
Evolutionists typically claim that the evidence for modern Darwinism is “overwhelming.” But they act as if they know the evidence is so shaky that the slightest whiff of open discussion will topple the theory. If high school students are capable of understanding the arguments and evidence for modern evolutionary theory, then they should be able to understand (and rationally discuss) scientific criticisms of modern evolutionary theory.

Woot! Look at Scourge, look at Scourge! I freakin love this song so much! I debated wether or not to Tigerstar or Scourge but I decided on Scourge since their are more pictures of him when he’s younger. Tell me what you think of the voices. Personally I think Tigerpaw’s voice is stupid but I love Scourge’s. I also need to know if it’s something I should do again or not. And yes, I shamelessy stole the ‘I didn’t forget’ thing from reaper-neko. But it such an awesome idea! Come on! Scourge whispering to the dying Tigerstar ‘I didn’t forget’ just gives me chills! xD EDIT: Preview icons FAIL DX

[VOCALOID3] 6900000000 [SeeU]
Another quick VOCALOID cover. I tried to make SeeU sound a bit more sweet. I like SeeU and I like using her :T sue me. VOCALOID 3 are easier to use and mix than VOCALOID 2 for me. I only have 2 vocaloid 3 anyway SeeU and Yuzuki Go ahead and bitch on me. I like lower voiced females and middle ones. I’m not a big fan of high pitchs lower ones are nicer for my ear. And if you’re just gonna complain about the design than you’re more stupid than i thought :T It’s a program the voice matters not the mascot Composed by kyotn Lyrics by Hamo .vsq by izzydesu That’s all? .w.;

{READ DESCRIPTION!} Likes and comments are welcome 😀 Watch in 720p! Playlist: www.youtube.com There’s no reason to put V1 to the title because basically you don’t visit this world twice. Before continue I went to the moogle and gave him the recipe for Ultima Weapon and then continue with the world. As for Roxas, let me tell you: Decisive Pumpkin can be one of the best keyblades in the game, but the design is to anticlimatic for cutscenes… I mean, Roxas comes with Oathkeeper and Oblivion, and we go with a stupid blade made of candy 😐 Roxas itself changed a lot his pattern from what we saw during the prologue, being of the strongest Organization XIII member. Since I didn’t know Second Chance and Once More I had to use Auto Limit Form, which is good enough. I wasn’t planning to get Limit Form for the cutscene but what’s done is done. __________________________________________________ Played by me ??

Is it legal to use free wallpaper images in website comps?
Question by Jane: Is it legal to use free wallpaper images in website comps?
I work for a small web design agency, and just wanted to know if it’s legal to use wallpaper images in my design compositions. We can’t buy stock images until AFTER the design is approved (stupid, I know), so how else can I use large images in my designs?
Best answer:
Answer by ShaKri
If the website you are taking the wallpapers from has declared it royalty free and open to public, then you are fine.
Else – we have some legal issues. 🙂 Usually no one cares …but its not right legally.
Cheers,
SK
