Poor Mickelson. "The guy on the left" is pretty much all he's going to be for all history, thanks to playing at a time when Tiger Woods is around.

You don't need to make gunpowder to be super-powerful. Gears would be pretty amazing, as would glass windows, aqueducts, bicycles, chimneys with drafts, franklin stoves, eyeglasses, printing press, crop rotation, sewing machines, typewriters, etc.

Most of us have basic knowledge of how these things work and could rig up working models to wow the locals and totally change history.

Plus, just knowing that gunpowder is possible makes discovering how to make it possible.

That's not what Speed was about. Speed was about not going below 55 mph, and this kill switch would totally do that.

There's a difference between learning and imprinting.

If this was any other religion besides christanity, boingboing would be cited as being intolerant, but because it is a christian show, it gets made fun of. True, they didn't really do their research before this segment, I'll give you that. But intolerance works both ways.

You've got your intolerance backwards.

It's actually intolerant that people won't tolerate mocking stupid in any religion. Stupid is stupid, and should be mocked no matter what.

And the mockers of stupid should be not only tolerated, but exalted.

"How does he explain watermelons?

Watermelons you can just step on to open. Messy and wasteful, but they're still easy.

What about cows? Or ducks? You ever try to catch a duck, snap its neck, pluck it, roast it and then eat it? This is NOT evidence of a benign God making food for humans to eat.

Hell, he hid truffles under moldy leafs and made it so only pigs can find the damned things.

"a pointed end for ease of entry that fits perfectly in the mouth."

Huh.

Wasn't Vader still a good guy in high school?

eh. not so much.

For all that those angels are telling the kid not to be alone, he is alone with that man (I assume a priest). The only beings beside the man are the angels, and they're either not real or not impacting whatever's going on.

It sounds like what a pedophile would say, "I know we're not supposed to be alone together, but the angels are here and they know what we're doing so it's OK."
