08.04.08Bass Spore creatureYou know Spore, right? The upcoming computer game that involves the evolution from primordial life to a spacefaring species? Where you are free to create whatever life forms you like? Where the rest of the universe is populated by life forms created by other people on the internet? Of course you have. People have only been talking about this game for several years now. Anyways, the game is coming out in September this year, but you can already download a free trial of the Creature Creator.

05.10.08Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, Refutation Part II – 30:01 to 60:00Here it is, Part II of my grand, time-wasting refutation.

05.01.08I Spoke With Ray ComfortOn May 19 I met Ray Comfort. For those of you who are not aware of this, Ray Comfort is a New Zealand born Christian and evangelist who brought us the Atheist's Nightmare! Ok, I'm sorry I lied (woops, a sin!). I didn't actually meet Ray, but I did meet someone who practically channeled Ray through himself to speak to me. Ray shows that since the banana fits perfectly in the mouth, god exists. I was visiting the Marketplace, a collection of eateries and stores, in Glendale to pick up some electronic devices. I somehow ended up at Old Navy and bought ...
