Some of those old processes are beautiful. It looks like he's having some trouble with it but I hope he succeeds. It's interesting that Pictorialism is making a comeback just as automated digital cameras and PCs are making photography so easy. Ansel Adams is turning in his grave.
I'm not advocating Creationism here, GW. I'm saying Darwinian Evolution has critics and they're not all whacko Creationist types. I think that's allowed in the scientific community, right? leave off with the silly Wikipedia articles, read some of the primary critical material and make up your mind for yourself.
Denton wasn't part of Center for Science and Culture when he wrote the first book (1983) since it didn't exist then. And in the introduction to the second book he very clearly rejects Creationism. Skip the Wikipedia article, read the books and judge for yourself.
A "REAL Truth" without evidence is called an assumption.
I haven't tried that yet, though I have thought of saying something like "In a culvert" just to see what kind of reactions I would get.
Interestingly, I have been doing research into a visit George Washington made to Charleston in 1791 and among the remarks are the observations that the Charlestonians very much impressed the president with their opulent wealth, Charleston was a exceedingly successful port town in the colonial era, and that they were rather taken with themselves and their material success. So in today's parlance we would call them superficial. The more things change...
I live in Charleston, SC, and the question one is inevitably asked is "where do you live?" and it's very definitely a gauging question. It's more specific than zip codes; Location Snobbery in Charleston is meted out on a street by street basis. Vocation Snobbery comes later.
"Remember that great video he was in about Creationism? Yeah, he is awesome like that."
I clicked on the link and watched it. Pretty run-of-the-mill stuff actually.
There is plenty of discontent with evolution among naturalists. Michael Denton, an avowed naturalist, systematically attacked the theory in a 450 page book called "Evolution: A Theory in Crisis" and followed it up with another called "Nature's Destiny" proposing an alternative theory. Darwinian Evolution will be adhered to until another naturalistic theory can be developed to better explain the phenomenon of life. If and when that happens Darwin's theory will be dumped into a bin with all the other outmoded scientific theories of the past.
Regardless of what Bill Nye thinks everyone else should think, I think people should be free to express their beliefs and nurture their children as they see fit.
Flawless in every way. Another great Pixar short is the backstory of Carl Fredricksen that is told in the beginning of "Up," also told without dialog. I watched it with my children, my wife and my parents-in-law and all the grownups were getting teared up.
My children are of the right age to have enjoyed all the Pixar films since "Finding Nemo," and I have enjoyed them every bit as much as they have. One of the great things about these movies is the treatment of the father characters: not bumbling idiots as in so many children's films but real, three dimensional characters who can be counted upon for more than cheap laughs. The lighthearted tension between the grandfather and father in "La Luna" is a great example of Pixar's fair treatment of dear old dad.
"The messages you find on anti-suffrage postcards from the 1910s are not dissimilar from what you might hear from Rush Limbaugh or Bill O’Reilly today in the 2010s. "
Au contraire, Mr. Limbaugh has said he very much appreciates the women's movement.

How about anyone regularly appearing on MSNBC?
