[Osx-nutters] The separation of church and state.

[Patrick Coskren]

There's a fascinating article in this month's New Yorker about  
retroviral RNA that's become incorporated into our genome over  
millions of years.  It's literally part of us.  Really neat stuff,  
and really groundbreaking.  Criticizing evolutionary theory because  
Darwin was limited is like claiming computers don't work because  
Chuck Babbage didn't foresee Duke Nukem 3.

Feeling random tonight...
