        \_ What is impressive about breaking onto an academic server? I
           broke onto the Astronomy machines when I was a sophmore.
           \_ Way to miss the point. The hack itself was not impressive.
              The information that was exposed, however, make the above
              thread kind of moot.

        but I've returned my MacBook Pro v.1 for the following reasons:
        - 7 pounds!!!
        - When idling on single proc, it is very hot
        - When idling on single proc, it only runs 1.5 hour. Slightly more
          when the LCD is turned off for the entire 1.6 hour

11/10   Now that FF 1.0 is out, has anybody gone back and compared, say,
        startup times to older versions (maybe even Phoenix)?  Is FF still
        a great deal faster than mozilla?  I remember using phoenix and
        thinking that it was maybe 2x faster for startup, as compared to
        mozilla.

Game Theory 10 4Kidz OBJECTIVE: Ministries Lambuel Hat -- one of many fine products available! Online Shop Quality Christian Gifts 11 Anti-Triclavianist 12 God Bless the USA 13 ZOUNDS: Youth Rock Ministry 14 E-Mail OBJECTIVE 15 Sign Our Prayerbook 16 Prayerbook by GuestWorld 17 View Our Prayerbook Evolutionism Propaganda 18 Article Index Evolutionism Propaganda Article by Dr. Richard Paley The subject of Evolutionism's use of propaganda to spread its false doctrines is a broad one that would require many pages to deal with in full. That they resort to propaganda is just evidence that they have no honest arguments in favor of their position. The paucity of pro-Evolutionistic arguments has been widely documented and I won't go into it here. What I would like to discuss are some prominent and current instances of Evolutionism propaganda: The PBS's series Evolution, the use of subliminal Evolutionism, and Evolutionism's place in the computing industry. PBS's "Evolution": PBS (supposedly the "Public Broadcasting System" although one has to wonder which public they serve with all the anti-Christian junk they put on) is currently airing a new series called simply Evolution. This series (running for eight nights, at two hours a night) is nothing but a commercial for Secular Humanistic pseudo-science. Image from 'Evolution' copyright PBS (paid for with your tax dollars), used for fair-use critiquing purposes. Image from 'Evolution' copyright PBS (paid for with your tax dollars), used for fair-use critiquing purposes. Fitzroy is mockingly portrayed reading the Bible aloud to the crew. Thus far, the first episode (called "Darwin's Dangerous Idea" -- at least they are honest in the title) was a melodramatization of Charles Darwin's life. Darwin is portrayed as a sympathetic character who is attacked by ignorant Christians for his "revolutionary thought" which he is shown likening to "confessing a murder" (again, another slip of honesty). Beagle -- all are made into unrecognizable cartoons whose only purpose is to act as foils for the noble Darwin and his crusade against Christianity. Interspersed with the costume drama were talking heads explaining to us why Evolutionism is the One True Way. These included some doctors and biologists -- one of whom openly expressed the religious nature of his belief in Evolutionism -- whose names I can't remember as they were unnotable persons in the scientific community. Daniel Dennett, a philosopher who wrote a polemic also called 19 Darwin's Dangerous Idea, was on hand to tell us in no uncertain terms that Darwin's ideas excluded the need for God. Needless to say Stephen Jay Gould made an appearance, although he did thankfully refrain from talking about baseball this time. The episode also included "real life examples" of Evolutionism to try and convince us that it is a real science. One of these was -- and I am not making this up -- a primatologist who taught some chimpanzees to "count". They argued that AIDS is constantly evolving and if it weren't for Darwin we wouldn't understand why and thus would be helpless in treating the disease (they conveniently neglect to point out that Darwinistic propaganda equating us with animals might have helped to spread the disease in the first place). Show us AIDS evolving into a cat -- which is essentially the Evolutionistic position of common ancestry for all lifeforms -- and then you'll have something worth noting. One can only imagine what other nonsense will be presented in the rest of this propaganda tour de force. But you can be certain that I for one won't be sporting a PBS tote bag any time soon. ADDENDUM (9/7/2002): 20 The Discovery Institute has a 21 more thorough debunking of PBS's Evolution, complete with viewers guide. See also on the 22 True Origins site the articles 23 "PBSs Evolution Series is Propaganda, not Science" which exposes the propagnadistic nature of the series and 24 "Fatuous Filmmaking" by noted Creation researcher Michael Behe. Subliminal Propaganda: Pokemon Chained to Evolutionism: Pokemon's pro-Darwinism propaganda is inescapable Besides the direct assault on reason and faith that the PBS series represents, Evolutionism propagandists often times try to sneak their false doctrine into popular culture via oblique references whose constant reiteration is designed to inculcate acceptance of their unacceptable message. As noted German Evolutionist Joseph Goebbels was fond of saying, if you repeat a lie often enough, people will start to believe it. Ardent Atheistic Darwinist Richard Dawkins even wrote a book 25 ^1 about how to spread ideology as a type of "biological weapon" using jingles and pop-culture. Some of the most popular vehicles for this subliminal propaganda are children's television shows, books, and toys. By getting their ideas into the minds of the young, they hope to be able to do the most damage to traditional values and belief. Shows like Pokemon, which features animals "evolving" into new forms, and popular movies like 26 Jurassic Park and 27 X-Men provide a continuous cultural fog of Evolutionism that is impossible for innocent children to escape from. Apple Macintosh: iMac users Hypnotically encased iMacs trick unsuspecting computer users into accepting Darwinism However, these propagandists aren't just targeting the young. Take for example Apple Computers, makers of the popular Macintosh line of computers. While they currently don't advertise this fact to consumers, it is well known among the computer elite, who are mostly Atheists and Pagans. Furthermore, the Darwin OS is released under an "Open Source" license, which is just another name for Communism. They try to hide all of this under a facade of shiny, "lickable" buttons, but the truth has finally come out: Apple Computers promote Godless Darwinism and Communism. Founded by long haired hippies, this company has consistently supported 60's counter-cultural "values" 29 ^2. But there are even darker undertones to this company than most are aware of. Consider the name of the company and its logo: an apple with a bite taken out of it. This is clearly a reference to the Fall, when Adam and Eve were tempted with an apple 30 ^3 by the serpent. It is now Apple Computers offering us temptation, thereby aligning themselves with the forces of darkness 31 ^4. Given the now obvious anti-Christian and cultish nature of Apple Computers, is it any wonder that they have decided to base their newest operating system on Darwinism? This just reaffirms the position that Darwinism is an inherently anti-Christian philosophy spread through propaganda and subliminal trickery, not a science as its brainwashed followers would have us believe. A Satanic, unevolvable chimera compels you to submit to Darwinism! They're not doing a very good job keeping their ties to the forces of darkness a secret, are they? ADDENDUM II (4/20/2002): A reader has also brought to my attention that the aforementioned Atheist and anti-Christian Evolutionist 35 Richard Dawkins ADDENDUM (7/27/2003): I have since added 36 a special page on Dr. Dawkins and his activities -- who likes to 37 compare religion to a virus -- has used Apple's Macintosh computers since they were introduced. In fact, his infamous anti-Creation polemic The Blind Watchmaker relied heavily on an argument based on software that he wrote using a Mac. He purported to have proved Evolutionism by making his Macintosh draw little squiggles -- or "biomorphs" as he called them -- that changed over "generations". Here Dawkins shows us how to turn a cross into a swastika using Evolutionism. While I initially suspected that the Apple connection here was mere coincidence, I dug deeper into the issue -- luckily, we at Fellowship Baptist have an extensive research library that also includes a representative collection of anti-Christian hate literature which we use for just this sort of investigation -- and was shocked at what I found. In the 1996 edition of his book, Dawkins includes two appendices detailing his little program. The first (included in the original 1986 edition) is entitled "Blind Watchmaker: An Application for the Apple Macintosh Computer". The first...
