Computers are no more able to create information than iPods are capable of creating music.
Is it wrong to pray for God to make me more successful so that I can be more humble?
There is no foundational mathematical or physical reason the
relationship between Pythagorean and tempered western music should

evolution. It's closer to dog breeding in terms of its computational
complexity.
[Computer] programs to demonstrate Darwinian evolution are
akin to a pinball machine. The steel ball bounces around differently
every time but eventually falls down the little hole behind the

Saying the Bible is not a book about science is like saying a cookbook is not a book about chemistry.
