Mission To Mars
October 25, 2004

Valerie over at spoken-for has written a bit about the movie Mission to Mars, which I agree was complete trash. But she talks about the origins of the universe and stuff, and in that I think we have a difference that needs to be addressed, not necessarily directly to her but in general. (So, Valerie, if you happen upon this, I’m not “calling you out”, I was just inspired to write this after reading your post.)

I don’t understand why people think that science and religion are mutually excusive. It’s always creationism versus evolution. Why can’t we have God and evolution? I think it’s perfectly reasonable to use the possibility of a supreme being to fill in for the answers that science simply doesn’t have.

Grr... Comment Spam
October 23, 2004

Something’s got to be done about this comment spam thing. I keep getting these casino people dropping in on me leaving entities in their comments. I’ve tried adding them to the WordPress detection thing, but it apparently converts all entities to their unicode counterparts before storing them. So that doesn’t work.

I added a bit of code into the main comment routine, which I shouldn’t have to do. There should be a stinking plugin socket there. I keep talking about it and I even submitted a patch, but I haven’t seen it in CVS yet. This comment spam is really irritating me.
