This is another thread in the continuing saga of the Ev evolution simulation program. I have run across a behavior I don't understand, and I thought perhaps someone here might have a flash of insight. Ev simulates the evolution of DNA binding sites: http://www.lecb.ncifcrf.gov/~toms/paper/ev/...

I can't help noticing that whenever a theist attempts to explain atheists or their point of view...it comes out absolutely horribly inaccurate. It's obviously 'possible' for there to a theist who really understands atheists, but do they realistically exist? I think most atheists were raised...

6/6/06 could be a devil of a day — or not Everyone knows that the rapture will NOT occur today because Jesus said no one knows that it WILL occur today? :confused:

A quick reference shows the speed of light (through a vacuum) is 299 792 458 meters per second. Why cant it go faster? I've read a few articles on scientists breaking the speed of light barrier, did they really do it? I've heard that approaching the speed of light causes time to slow and...

for me the 2000 election issue was over when Gore conceded. anyone else here feel the same way or am I just a right wing nazi ?

I bought one of THESE! I know it works because Hey, if anybody wants to borrow mine, could you help me with the $299 I spent on it? :)
