Pat Robertson and Haiti
This is all I'm going to say about it: There's now a mandatory waiting period between a tragedy/disaster/other emergency and vicious bullshit. One week. Give us one week to find and bury the dead, treat the injuries of the living, establish contact between families, replenish medical supplies. Is one week too long? Afraid you'll stop getting eyeballs and subscriber dollars if you shut up for one tiny week and let the population contain the damage? Afraid you'd have to offer a modicum of respect for the victims and their families?
I just can't fathom. Did this beat the turnaround time for 9/11 to be blamed on every rightwing boogeyman? I think it might've. For once, just once, I'd like to see an actual Christian response. At least a Beatitude-driven response. At least give me a "feed the hungry, clothe the naked" moment.

I fail to see how understanding females plays into evolution on the whole.
Random SELECTION means that you keep every 6 on a die roll and ignore say every other one. That makes it possible to get say 666 dice rolls all saying 6. It's random chance with natural limits imposing on it gaining an order from chaos.
No, to an eye that is trained in chemistry and organic chemistry. The foundations of chemistry are themselves based on an unguided random selection. Molecules make many bonds and formations as they react, but the ones that are the final products are the ones that are most stable (simplified explanation) the process is chaotic, the result is ordered both from observation and in many cases by definition (3 molecules go to 1 is a decrease in a system disorder)
