| == Richard Dawkins takes on a jerk ==
| |
| | |
| Hey man. You must be a bit stressed with all this style updating and reformatting, so I thought I could help you relax. Check [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmNjfpoRZpE&NR this out]. Here we have Richard Dawkins take on an evangelical "Christian" who turns into a jerk really fast. I think Dawkins won the argument too, though it's rather grey. Now, I have to agree with you. Richard Dawkins is the MAN when it comes to science, and I'm glad you idolized him. I respect him quite a bit myself, and I appreciate his scientific commentary. Happy viewing! --[[User:Homeworld|Homeworld]] 15:31, 26 August 2006 (CDT)

| :Thats a clip taken from a TV program he did called [[Wikipedia:The Root of All Evil?|The Root of All Evil?]] ^_^ Its not been repeated in the UK as far as I know but you could probably download it from somewhere, it was a great program. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 15:48, 26 August 2006 (CDT)
| |
| | |
| ::I'm interested to see the full program. That 6-minute clip piqued my interest. That site I got it from has bits and pieces from the show, and maybe the whole thing. I already watched another clip called "Teapot Atheists." Striking commentary. Dawkins says that everyone is an atheist since many no longer believe in the gods of Egypt or Rome or Sumer. By the way, I decided to read about James Randi (I already know about Gervais and Sagan). I must say, I respect anyone who can reveal that a "faith-healer" is a sham. I have no patience for people who sell their faith like that Popville guy did. Has the world no shame? I recently added an "Idols" section to my own userpage along with some video clips of them. Thanks for being the inspiration for that! ^_^ --[[User:Homeworld|Homeworld]] 16:09, 26 August 2006 (CDT) | |

| == CNP vs virus ==
| |
| | |
| Hey. I reverted an edit you made on [[Atlantia (RDM)]]. Just to let you know, the Cylons used [[backdoor]] programming to essentially command the [[CNP]] to turn off or seriously disable itself, leading to their victory. Viruses are an old tactic of theirs from the Cylon War, and are used if they can hack into a Colonial ship's computer network (as done in [[Scattered]] and [[Flight of the Phoenix]]). But the Cylons didn't primarily win with viruses, just the CNP. The talk page there, I think, says it all. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:27, 6 October 2006 (CDT)

| I don't mind if you edit my userpage, especially for something as important as a red link fix. In fact, I actually had a message up for a while encouraging other users to edit my page, but it disappeared in a series of events I cannot fully comprehend or remember. But, point is, I really don't care if my userpage gets edited. Edit some more is you like! :) --[[User:Homeworld|Homeworld]] 20:50, 18 October 2006 (CDT)
