Quote:Study: Science and religion are not only incompatible, religious areas being left behind
Quote:Science and religion just don’t co-exist, according to a recent study by economists at Princeton University.
“Places with higher levels of religiosity have lower rates of scientific and technical innovation, as measured by patents per capita,” said Roland Bénabou, the study’s lead author, told Mother Jones.
The researchers used an economic model to explore the relationship between scientific innovation, religious faith, and government power as they formed different “regimes.”

Makes me think of all those poor kids being led through that fucking Creation "Museum" down south. Way to set our future up to fail guys! Way to go.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

He he, we could've told them that for nothing!
I hope they didn't waste too much money on that study!

I guess that's why many of the doctorates I knew were Christian, Jewish, Moslem, or Hindu.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

I'm awesome even when I don't realise I'm being awesome.
I suspect Min was quoting the post and saw that I'd given kudos for it and put my name instead.
However, always happy to acknowledge my utter awesomeness.

And yes, polecat. Any asshole can get a ph.d. in jesusism or reading really silly old books. You can even buy one from a xtian diploma mill and pretend you know what the fuck you are talking about.
Was that your method?

Kent Hovind's "ph.d" is a good example.

More on the lines of medicine and aeronautics. Much better than getting your Associates....going to go back to get your Bachelors?
