  1. Lately I have been using Firefox and Chrome equally. Though I do not really have a favorite, they all have holes in their respective rendering. Some large commercial sites will not render properly in either and I have to fall back on IE. I have stopped using Opera and Safari all together, they do not offer anything different that you can not get from other other browsers and frankly having Bonjour sucking up resources int the back on MS platform is just annoying.
  2. the egg came first: As mentioned previously ; An egg is an environment and a storage capsule all in one and it predates what we would define as an animal much less what we define as sheep or chicken. Plant Egg - Seeds and Fruits Since avians are evolutionarily descendent's of reptiles even the dinosaur bit is true, and before dinosaurs laid eggs fish laid eggs and somewhere down the line it was all about a few cells that wanted to protect themselves from the cold, or the salt, or the aridity, or whatever was bothering them at the time (truth is they didn't even really WANT anything, they just kind of got lucky.)
  3. The OP is referring to WWII (since it alludes to Japan) WWII was already a World War, even before t he US officially joined in formal declaration of hostilities against Japan, Germany and Italy. WWII had open conflict theaters in Africa, Australia, Asia (China, Manchuria, Parts of Siberia as well as India) and there was conflict zones within the zones of influence of certain powers in South America as well. The presence of the US is not what makes a war a world war, it is the scope of the war itself which encompasses multiple continents. The United States entry and the subsequent use of its intact infrastructure and production capability to win the war for itself and its allies ended WWII but it was already a WWII before the US got in.
  4. Evolution is a fact. You can observe Speciation even in complex creatures like salamanders in California. Now paleo-evolutionary trace backs are an other thing, but I do believe they are still valid. The only thing that keep the Theory of Evolution a Theory is people's religious sensitivity and that sensitivity actually makes god smaller. There has been a trend that perhaps started out innocently enough after the Great Reformation, to make God more accessible, which is counter intuitive and detractive since it makes God less than God and much more human. Assuming you or anyone can know the mind of God or can ascribe literal meaning or intentions to God or that they can help God just takes away from God. I mean if you are sure that X is X and Y is Y and that perhaps you as flawed human being could have made a error in comprehension somewhere along the way you might as well start calling God, Larry and threaten to un-friend him/her/it off your facebook page if they don't show up next Sunday with some Angels and Fireworks. Evolution is observable it is something, and it does not need to conflict with anyone's religious belief if they actually believe in God, if they believe in a dumbed down and water down version of God that need to be understand then not even God can help them, but hopefully Evolution will eventually help the rest of us (it just takes a really long time - so be patient.)
