And what purpose does that second statement serve? That Newton was a heathen who believed in giants?

This made me lol.

Why is the word "even" there? And what purpose does that second statement serve? That Newton was a heathen who believed in giants?

Define heathen.

No it's not. They were PROMINENT Christians. Euler went out of his way to troll atheists. Newton was a Christian first and a physicist/mathematician second. Cauchy was equally devout

They weren't repressed individuals trying to hide their atheism out of fear as you suggest. Your analogy to gay people in Saudi Arabia does not stand

I didn't say they were trying to hide their atheism, I said that at the time they couldn't be anything else. They'd never make it in their field if they weren't Christian at the time. If they were born in the Middle East they'd never make it if they weren't Muslim. How many other Copernicus's or Newtons that didn't fit the right Religious profile I wonder were out there who were shunned for being of incorrect dogma. If they were born today, I doubt they'd take Religion seriously, most would be looking at it like Christians looked at Greek mythology.

First of all I said hard science. Math and physics are the hard sciences. Evolution is not

Second of all, you don't address how it is that engineers vote Republican most often, and journalists vote Democrat most often. I thought Republicans were the fanatical religious ones

I've never read anything that shows all engineers voting Republican and all journalists voting Democrat I'd be interested to see the evidence for that. There is hard evidence though that a lot of Republican vote comes from the bible belt and most bible belt states are Republican strongholds.

By the way Evolution is a "hard science". I challenge you to find a credible Scientist who proves it false.

What? You prefer "odd". Yes, Newton believed in giants. The Jolly Green One, perhaps. Or mbe the Giant Bearded One, yes, I think it was that one.

I think most scientists consider it a theory. Its mincing words, but I don't consider evolution a 'science'.

As for the theory having a lot of support, that part is definitely true. DM doesn't need convincing about this, I think.

This thread is gayyyyyyyyyyyy

[bluesummer]

No, it just turned gay. Wait, we shouldn't be using 'gay' as a term to describe something stupid................how about just stupid.

[doppelgaenger]

Why not? I think it gets the message across.

[bluesummer]

Fuk it, maybe I'll just change my last name to 'Princess of the Universe'. How cool would that look on my business cards?

[Mish]

Damn it. Now I have that Queen song stuck in my head

Hey...
And here we are
We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting for survival
We've come to be the rulers of you all

I am immortal, I have inside me blood of kings - yeah - yeah
I have no rival, no man can be my equal
Take me to the future of you all

[bluesummer]

THAT ^ reminded of a tv show I used to love as a kid: Highlander, the series. That was the theme song.

[doppelgaenger]

^^ I used to watch that.

[bluesummer]

I was totally in love with Duncan McLeod. Drooooool. Thanks for the trip down memory lane there Mish.

[Mish]

You're welcome Blue. I liked that show as well. Do you remember how everyone thought the special effects were really high tech back then? You watch it now and it's so B-movie.

Whatever happened to Christopher Lambert since then?

[bluesummer]

Yeah, they would cut off the other guy's head and there would be all this lightning and special effects, ha ha. I almost want to go download some old episodes so I can laugh at how cool I thought it was back then.
