@peteduncanson @astroimagers @smartereveryday If you ask "how", and jump straight to "God did it", you're missing out on a lot of exciting scientific discovery. God answers "why". He did it, yes, but He did it for you.

@peteduncanson @astroimagers @smartereveryday You don't have to - faith is, after all, a choice. I assure you, there is no void. God is there, waiting patiently for you to open a different set of eyes.

@peteduncanson @smartereveryday A scientist may reject religion because it deals in things that can't be directly observed and quantified, but I think that is dangerous, too.

[Benjamin Howe @bdhowe]

@peteduncanson @smartereveryday Humans have a long tradition of "opting out" of any information that conflicts with how they think the world is or should be. Religious people may reject science because they don't know how to make it fit their faith, but that is dangerous.

[Benjamin Howe @bdhowe]

@peteduncanson @smartereveryday I don't understand why science and faith are perceived to be incompatible. You might say that my "religion" is whatever is true, and I find valuable, meaningful truths that enrich my life all over, in things scientific and in things of God. They are not separate to me.

What did you think your job was about, and what is it really about?

Sometimes people make bad decisions because circumstances beyond their control make the bad choice the easy one.

@Kentniming the odds are pretty good. I hope the next edition of the hymnbook has more than three Easter hymns.

We should expect that our leaders:
* Ask us to do things we aren't doing
* Change their minds
* Admit mistakes
* Don't pretend to have all the answers

If we don't, leadership is not what we're looking for.

It would seem unwise to listen to someone who gets paid to make people angry.

@elforesto Can you really ever actually know you understand the requirements?

@Kentniming I understood that the deal was for Poland to give Ukraine some Mig fighters (which they know how to fly) and we'd replace them with some F-16s, but there was a hiccup with the logistics.

I dare Apple's agency to write two consecutive sentences of copy without using the words "incredible" or "amazing".

@Roli_Dori @typescript There is a mountain of type ambiguity in raw JS, the point of TS is to make explicit things which are not reliability inferred by static analysis. It's not that the tools should be better for JS, but they can't be.

@Kentniming Did you cheat, or are you making fun of me?

@Kentniming @RchlGirl When I was younger I thought Elder Scott was boring, but now I miss him a lot.
