Even Pat Robertson Attacks Young Earth Theory As A "Joke"
shveddyYou'll have to get over the annoyance. It's crazy to think that religion - which thrives on such an entrenched part of the human psyche and is so deeply intertwined with history - will just admit defeat and lay down all of its claims to relevance in the face of any adversity. The best we can hope for is a long and gradual retreat.
I'll take what I can get. Relegating God to merely an abstract influence as the cause of the Big Bang has very little relevance to anyone's day to day life, whereas denying evolution, climate change, etc... is significantly more detrimental to scientific progress.
Not sure what annoys me most. The fact that the religious, condescendingly, finally accept the facts borne out by science, or that they constantly shift the goal posts by acknowledging that their was a big bang but, because science has yet to explain its cause, god must have done it. The "god of the gaps" is diminishing rapidly thanks to science filling the gaps. Soon all they will have left is one question; Why? And that is the same question we all have. I suspect that if that question is ever answered, we will ALL be surprised.

Best Explanation of Magnets I've Ever Seen
shveddyThrowing your brain at that kind of stuff changes it for the better no matter what you remember a few years down the line. It's a muscle, and understanding the mathematics behind magnetism like bench pressing a few hundred pounds, and besides, you can always brush up.
Sorry, I wasn't bashing the video... any time you can boil down most of the qualitative ideas of 12 lecture hours into a 6 minute video is a worthy time investment.
I'm was mostly trying to drunkenly convince myself the math I half remember was worth the other 11 hours.
Check for Dupes when Validating Embed Code (Internet Talk Post)
shveddyIt's not that it doesn't check, it's that it doesn't check to see if it's been submitted or not when it validates. I can submit videos that are already on the sift and it won't tell me about it until later in the process after I've chosen a name, categorized it, etc...
Embed validation works fine over here.
Checks it instantly when pasting link or code.

shveddyI just resubmitted the current number one video (true facts about the armadillo), and it told me that my embed is good. I'm using Safari v7.0.
Seeing The Secret State: Six Landscapes
shveddyAwesome. This guy deals with the stuff of conspiracy theories in wholly rational and realistic ways. He understands the limitations of his methods and constructs theories with the understanding that even secret organizations operate within the same reality we all do.
Unfortunately he won't get much exposure - too accurate.

shveddyThanks. The description is straight from the youtube video so I didn't check anything. I updated it to something more relevant though
