I'm afraid this is one of the things that I find really quite amusing about Freeman's Mind. His neurotic and generally insane nature provide some great comic dialogue in my opinion. I second that. I love Freeman's mind, it makes me laugh, I love his lines I love the character Ross has created. How hard is it to realize that this is machinima, really funny machinima, it doesn't make a single pretension of being in line with the canon. And exactly who is pinning you to your chair and forcing you to watch every episode MakoVlazkov?

I just want to jump in and comment on this post, especially this part the mistake I believe you're making is assuming that both viewpoints are equal, you're drawing a false equivalence. Where as the position that DNA, and how DNA functions fit the evolutionary model is based on the scientific method. As a scientific theory, evolution makes predictions, which are then tested against objective observations of reality. This is the scientific method, it's what makes a theory a theory. Where as the first viewpoint is based on prediction, observation and falsification the second viewpoint is basically an argument from incredulity. It is a wholly subjective personal viewpoint which states "I personally cannot conceive how DNA came to be through natural means, therefore I posit a supernatural (magical) origin." This argument is based on a lack of information and circular reasoning, not a special insight. It assumes that complexity cannot arise naturally because it is complex. It ignores that evolution is cumulative and gradual, and it ignores that while one person may have to make a retreat into the unverifiable supernatural to explain complexity, the same does not go for others. Just my 2 cents.

I'm just glad that 33 is coming so soon after 32, 34 seems to be nicely under way as well. god I love FM

Well, after going through this topic it has once again become clear to me that A: People who have a knowledge deficit on a controversial topic are often completely unaware of this knowledge deficit. B: Compensate for this deficit with sheer blinding certitude in their own position. C: When confronted with the fact they are at variance with reality, will stomp their feet and insincerely demand to be educated on a complex topic in the span of a single conversation on the internet. Even though they have long since made up their minds. Just another day on the internet I suppose.
