You can post whatever you want bro. As long as its relevant to the topic of the sub-forum and presented in a constructive manner, there's no problem.

Also, cool pictures on your site. My mom's a professional photographer and I grew up with one of our bathrooms converted into a darkroom wherever we lived (navy family). I've got a canon SLR digital and some good Glass and I have a lot of fun with photoshop and scientific images from my work.

Thanks for the kind words. I've been playing with photography since I was a kid. Lately, I've taken some classes in NYC at ICP. For now, its just a way to keep my sanity.

I know it's not relevant but, since you like Photoshop, if you have a registered copy of CS2, you can go to labs.adobe.com and get the beta version of CS3. It has some great enhancements (much better camera raw, black and white conversion, a background selection tool etc.)

I just wanted to comment on people like Faith. I know plenty of them. You are better off not even trying. When Religious Zealots are ready they will come to you. I think some people are hard wired differently. I was reading the other day that the Frontal Lobe does not mature until 25, and that is what causes the ability to reason. I wonder of some never fully develop their frontal lobe?
By the way, I also believe that Atheists can be Zealots as well. Being blinded and closed is not a good way to experience life.

I agree. I don't mean to deny people their faith or their right to it. I just feel that there is a point when one has to at least give logic a try. Just a little try. You never know. You might like it. Or, maybe you won't. My big problem is people that won't even consider it, but of course, expect you to consider their beliefs.

Yes, anyone can be zealous about anything. I am a zealot about photography, food, and probably other things as well. Hey, we are all entitled to our obsessions.

One day, I really should post an account of something that happened to me in college. I think it would evoke interesting responses.

Faith is a non entity. Preaching convinces nobody... least ways agnostics and by far more least ways agnostics. We have questions that need to be answered. It's all a matter of priorities. To me as an Agnostic.

I am sick hearing about the guy as anything pertinent unless you are believing what he is saying cause he's boring to me.
