    Derren Brown perpetuating junk / pseudo-science

    In every show that he does, he spells out that he's using magic tricks and that he's a performer first and foremost. He admits that it's a trick; that he's not going to tell you exactly how he did something. Of course, his producers and editors cut out all the less 'interesting' bits which...

    The stupidest thing a creatonist has ever said to you

    Yay. Someone who knows more about antimatter came along to clear things up. :)

    The stupidest thing a creatonist has ever said to you

    No, they should be drawn together. The universe should have annihilated itself shortly after the big bang. If they repelled, then we wouldn't need dark energy and there would be "anti-galaxies" floating around. However, this is kind of the limit to my understanding of antimatter.

    The stupidest thing a creatonist has ever said to you

    Not sure about energy and anti-energy, but not matter - matter and antimatter are formed together and are like the mirror image of each other. If they come in contact, they annihilate themselves, re-releasing the energy it took to make them.

    The stupidest thing a creatonist has ever said to you

    Well...There aren't any dinosaurs anymore. As for antimater: we have a fantastic grasp of it - even using it in medical imaging. The only thing we don't understand is why there isn't more of it.

    And now for something completely different

    Neat wee program. Don't apologise for the program killing off all males. Sometimes things like that happens in evolution.

    The stupidest thing a creatonist has ever said to you

    But, isn't that supposed to happen after the rapture? Everyone goes to live a perfect life in the New World (which is a supermarket in New Zealand), just like in the garden before the fall. So is he going to leave the tree out of the New World or the snake? Or both?

    RFID

    I wouldn't call it gay. If it were, there'd be men having sex with each other all through it.

    The Naked Truth

    Millimetre wave scanner technology has been around for a few years now and is already being deployed in a number of US airports. Frankly, I see no problem. You can't make out much. If people are going to beat off over womens facebook photos (completely vanilla mugshots - nothing sexual) then...

    RFID

    I met someone who had one in his finger and used it to unlock his house and car. I'm not against this sort of thing, as I'm pretty sure the world's not going to become like Gattaca. Not going to save the world, but will be quite handy.

    Outlawing abortion

    Debating Abortion on the internet can be fun. (I want everyone to vandalise the Conservapedia Abortion page. Something like "Abortion is fun! I'm having one right now!" - just slip it in somewhere. --[EDIT: It's Locked :( ]) I started the debate once on another forum a couple of years ago and...
