coulda sworn you were a YECer, but your recent posts (that I've seen) were in total reverse--and I had the distinct memory that you were a YECist.

so are, or are you not, a YEC?

(hey, that rhymes with ICK. hmm, I wonder . . .):D

I'm not old or new but middle school fifth grade like junior high,
I don't know mofo if y'all peeps be buggin' give props to my ho cause she all fly,
But I can take the heat cause I'm the other white meat known as 'Kid Funky Fried',
Yeah I'm hung like planet Pluto hard to see with the naked eye,
But if I crashed into Uranus I would stick it where the sun don't shine,
Cause I'm kind of like Han Solo always stroking my own wookie,
I'm the root of all that's evil yeah but you can call me cookie

I used to work in a lab and wore a lab coat. In the movie Half Baked, when Thurgood is mopping up in the medical research lab and the one guys says something like "Excuse me Janitor". Then Thurgood replied, "Yes Scientist." I thought it was really funny. Also, I have a Bachelors of Science degree and was working in a lab employing the scientific method, I figured I could call myself a scientist.

WRT evolution, as a Theistic Evolutionist, I wanted a name that reflected that belief, but was also accurate in who I was.

Also, I'm a Gemini and do feel like I have two parts to me. One side is more of a believer and the other side is more of a skeptic, so I wanted the name to reflect them, which usually oppose each other.

I think the EvC debate sometimes boils down to science versus religion. I support both sides.

One thing to note is that I chose Catholic Scientist and not something like Scientific Catholic. I don't think I could reject something that is scientifically sound for a religious belief. I'm a scientist in my beliefs, but a Catholic one, not a Catholic in my beliefs, but a scientific one. I haven't really rejected too much dogma, as I can usually accept both the religious and scientific explanations, because they normally don't seem mutually exclusive to me, and I don't really mind hand waving that much.

Full-fledged theistic evolutionist. Belong to a Christian community, share everything, live life for Christ all the time, but we're ready to admit it's obvious evolution is true all the way down to the Australopithecenes-Homo habilis-Homo Erectus-Homo Sapien chain. From goo to you by way of the zoo works fine for us.

We've seen a lot of new members. I like reading about how people came up with their name.

Anyone want to share?

I play World Of Warcraft, and used to play a Hunter character there (Now a Death Knight). And because they are generally known as "Huntards" I decided to use that as my alias. Also, I wanted to see how many people without argument would use my name and call me "retard", it only happened once. Thank you again CFO, for confirming my suspicions.

Where you camp by campers and deliver finishing blows to steal the EXP from killing mobs?

Also, have you noticed how WoW is a bit like 4th ed D&D?

A huntard is someone who plays a hunter but has no idea how to play that class. There are players like that in every class, but hunters get picked by bad players a lot as it seems like a fun class. In reality it is a difficult class to play well and it can be quite obvious when you do screw up.

They were absurdly powerful in vanilla WoW, and established a higher-than-average idiots : decent players ratio because of the perceived class strength. very similar to Rogues.

Subsequent patches and expansions have levelled the playing field somewhat. Now, the idiots seem to have gravitated towards Death Knights, because they're cool. Yet another class that can be extremely strong when played well but is saturated with idiocy.

I'm going back to my Warlock. And Champions Online - fun game, btw.
