Oh I get it, he's against creationism (no doubt that described in the Bible, not any other religious texts), so therefore he's the "smartest man". More anti-Christian bloviation from a site that really seems to feed of it more and more these days. Way to go tolerance!!

Did you miss the part where OP said it's his own personal opinion? What was that about tolerance? Yeah...

It's just astounding that you sit there saying this is anti-Christian. Who's fault is it that the facts about our universe are not consistent with Christianity?

I would not want to live in that world that he is talking about. Even though he may be right.

Anti-creationism != anti-Christian.

I for one do not want to live in a world where creationism is an acceptable scientific theory. It's not.

It's not anti-Christian to call creationism absurd. Pope John Paul II is on record as saying that evolution does not contradict the Bible. As for tolerance, it shouldn't be used to allow ignorance to flourish. There is no evidence to support creationism and it should rightfully be treated with disdain.

More focus on the "stop passing on your beliefs to your children" and less on the "religion is faulty". And I am not anti-christian in any way, but you should look at these things objectively.

You'd think that a smart scientist would be more open minded towards alternate theories, but sadly it's not true, science is as closed minded as they claim Theists are

Creationism isn't a scientific theory. He is open minded. Remember, theory != scientific theory.

That would be true if Creationism was a legitimate theory, but it's not. It's nonsense.

He is open minded, he is just saying that it would be more effective to work with what is better supported rather than by something that has barely any backing. And if we do work with it, we may even come across the discovery of it not being true, but then we will have that as another piece of knowledge to work with.

Ah, so you must be the representative from the general population. Thanks for voicing your opinion.

The who? I don't represent a damn person other than myself. Unfortunately though, as others have discussed, I have very little open mindedness for the invisible man floating in the sky theory. Once someone even has the slightest shred of proof and not this "some random people heard voices in their head from the invisible man and wrote it down to get the scared general public to follow them like a cult", then maybe I'll be a little more open minded.

That's like saying I'm not open minded that a piece of toast can sprout wings and fly off my plate. But hey, if I wrote it in a book I could call you closed minded for not believing me! Both theories are on the same level of ridiculousness.

Edit: Man, I've gotten really cynical as I've gotten older. :laugh:

He lost my interest after saying the US invented the internet

To be fair, the US did contribute a lot to the creation of the internet, although overall it was a combination of effort from many nations.

I presume you're talking about the world wide web, which Sir Tim created :).

Internet > WWW

This is Neowin and we have to go over this still?

As we had a recent thread about Memes I thought Id make one of my own in regard to his overly boastful comment about the US and its overty evervesent effect on the world.He got off to a bad start and went downhill from there.

That's rich coming from someone so closed minded that you have to twist the notion of not accepting an idea that doesn't fit into any aspect of science as the one being the closed minded one.

    • No, size is not the only selling point. I did not even remotely say that. Your claim was that "building your own will be faster and cheaper". This is false. You cannot build something close to that form factor with off-the-shelf parts. You can build a Mini-ITX PC and pay more, or something larger and pay less. But these are different market segments. It's apples and oranges.
    • There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
