Hey, if they want to teach Intelligent Design, let 'em teach Intelligent Falling...after all America is one of the dumbest 1st world countries...lets make our kids dumber!
It's not important at all! Just interpret it to fit your own world view and prejudices.....never mind the historical context and the hypocrisy when others take verses "out of context" when they themselves do.
Never played it. Just the first one. Where I'm too busy being a monarchy (best resource gathering of the game, in my opinion) and being the most advanced in the world. Only reason why the other bastards get to Alpha Centauri before I do is because they have more cities to build ship components...
...can I then ban people from? Eating, cooking, processing, and growing these abominable plants? After all, I don't like them, and a lot of people I know don't either, so is it within my right to try and ban these disgusting plants, even though there are some out there who enjoy eating them?

I would have posted this in another section but since this more or less is a religious question, it goes on here.
Religious question - Because a lot of theists like to...
Get their peer reviewed papers into a scientific journal? Wouldn't that help validate their claims? Why do they just spread their hypothesis' through churches, church papers, and websites?
Like...Lord of the Rings, or the Silmarilion?
They believe that Middle-Earth is real, Sauron, Ring-wratihs, etc. etc....and they worship the Valar.
What would you think of a person who believed in a book that much?
That's pretty good, also talk about having an open mind about other peoples stances, being accepting of all people and worldviews (unless the views are harmful in some way i.e. racism) And other things.
