I won't object to working on projects that contain language...

Well, I think this has been discussed before somewhere, but a game without any use of language at all would be really interesting to make.

Wow! That looks pretty cool. Might inspire me to actually try out AGS sometime.

The Bible is supposed to be a moral codebook (kill homosexuals, stone your disobediant son, sell your daughter into slavery, long haired men are shameful, stay away from women on their periods, etc)

Actually, I'd go even further and say it's an moral codebook that should be taken allegorically rather than literally.

TIS: Sure! Which country do I have to travel to to achieve that? Or shall I mail you some Japanese coffee and cake? (trust me, say no! It's pretty but the taste isn't anything to write home about!)

Canada for now, and the US as of next month.

Oh no, why are we playing the quote game?

Why, to piss you off, of course!

...I still think evolution doesn't make sense.

"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen." - Albert Einstein

'So who is the intelligent designer?'

Hoborg!

Er... I learned about finite state machines in one of my first-year computer science classes about two years ago. That's about it.

Could you buy me the coffee and cake instead?

You know what I think? It's really sad that society doesn't encourage people to actively use their imaginations past childhood.

Some theoretical explanations for altruism taken straight out of an old psychology textbook:

Empathy-Altruism Hypothesis - people provide help simply because the victim needs help and because it feels good to provide help.

Negative-State Relief Model - people provide help in order to reduce the negative affect aroused by watching someone in distress.

Empathic Joy Hypothesis - people provide help in order to engage in an activity that has a successful outcome, making the helper feel good.

Genetic Determinism Model - people have an unconscious desire to help people genetically similar to themselves, and provide help in order to maximize the chances of the survival of said genes.

Take a C++ course.

Its also funny how Creationists will listen to scientific evidence AGAINST Evolution but not FOR Evolution.Ã, 

Again, this isn't limited to just creationists and evolution. It isn't even limited to just religious people, for that matter.

...I seldom hear of Christians who support the theories of the Big Bang or evolution as being potential mechanisms of God's will.

Hey, a lot of them do. They just aren't as loud as the ones who don't.

Oh yeah? Prove it.

You're wrong. No it isn't.

"No it isn't" as in no, I'm not wrong?

I distrust religion because its core tends to made of "I'm right - you're wrong".Ã,  Being dragged behind upon that thought's coat-tails is the concept that it is a right person's duty to correct people that are wrong.

I would be more inclined to think that the "I'm right, you're wrong" viewpoint is not just limited to religion. In fact, I'd say it's a universally human concept.

Man, if only Richard Longhurst and the Box that Ate Time had your music, it would be the best cult classic-y game ever!

By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet?

The only point "belief" enters into this is if you are seriously suggesting that scientists may be lying to us.

Not lying. Just mistaken due to bias.
