Actually, the original Hebrew word for “day” was just a way to describe periods of time, rather than 24 hours. But then again, how did God first create light, when there was no matter for the electromagnetic waves to bounce off of?
Either way, it’s all bullshit.
Andrew, I realize what you’re saying here. But sometimes super vocal atheists bother me with their excessive squalor. It’s like if I say “Hey, kids, Santa Claus is a fucking lie. You kids are fucking retards! Can’t you ignorant morons see that a fat guy giving gifts to all the kids in the world doesn’t make even a tiny bit of sense? God, you’re so retarded.” as opposed to “I know Santa doesn’t exist, but you still believe in him, and that gives you something to hold on to each year. I’ll let you believe that and I’m cool with it, because I’m a grown up.”
I’m not bitching you out or anything, but it seems that a bunch of the blogs on Wordpress are bitching out religious types.
That new job researching heat pumps sounds cool. What does it involve?

I hear ya, Simon. I agree, in general, atheists are pretty bitchy, at least online and especially as of late.
My mother is a Catholic. She knows how I think, and I know how she thinks. We’re cool with that, and I don’t really think about it. I still love and respect her *just as much as if she was an atheist*. That shouldn’t stop me from having an opinion on her religion. I’m just expressing it in a space that is literally my little domain.
Rant over =)

I’m reverse-engineering a European model of heat recovery ventilator with an incorporated heat pump. (as opposed to two independent systems). There are advantages and disadvantages for each, but the European models are far too expensive. We’re trying to be able to make our own to sell here.
I’ve been taking a self-taught crash course in refrigeration engineering for the past week, and I’ll be moving my work to a garage soon, once I get a bit more equipment =).
Simon Teacher, how many back home have asked you if you were worried about Kim Jong gettin’ Il’ with you guys in SK?
Posted by Andrew on July 2nd, 2009.
So many people ask me about it, but as my friend Jo said when they were planning on sending that “satalite” in orbit:
“Dude~~ they have done it many times since I was born…ah… wait… since my father was born…Kim Jung Il is the best actor in the world.”
Personally, I’m not worried at all.
