What evidence would it take for more scientists to recognize that perhaps life didn't evolve through some evolutionary process, but was intentionally created? It seems like few ever consider that their starting presupposition may be wrong.

Property hooks are the headline feature, but they seem like something I'd rarely use in practice. It is nice to have the option available though, in case I need to add extra logic to a property without breaking everywhere that it's accessed.

I wouldn't consider all the new features small, but even many small improvements can result in a major improvement.

This is such a nice feature in PhpStorm. I hope VSCode and other editors will add support for it too.

Why did people assume that strata were deposited over eons and represent different ages? Many of these layers can be viewed in the Grand Canyon, and there is a notable lack of erosion between them. As I see it, these paraconformities are a strong evidence that there were not large gaps of time between the strata - they must have been laid down rapidly over a relatively short period (e.g. by a great flood).

Not to mention greater wear on the road and increased particle emissions from brakes and tires due to heavy batteries in EVs. https://nypost.com/2024/03/05/business/evs-release-more-toxi...

Bacteria, plants, and other creatures are incredibly well designed to be able to adapt for survival in different environments, to the extent they can even copy and use external genes in some circumstances. Yet they still always reproduce the same kind. E. coli produce E. coli, plants produce the same kind of plant, animals produce the same kind of animal. There can be a lot of variation within a kind (e.g. all the different dog breeds), but a dog will never produce a non-dog, and a fish will never produce a non-fish. This requirement of microbe-to-man evolution contradicts the fundamental law of heredity.

Natural selection is certainly real, but it has zero creative power. It can only select from what already exists. Usually the actual creative mechanism is assumed to be random genetic mutations. But where has anyone observed mutations changing one kind of animal into a new more advanced kind? In reality mutations are destructive to genetic information, and over long timescales cause devolution. As more mutations are inherited, genetic disorders and diseases will increase. To learn more about this I recommend reading the book "Genetic Entropy" by Cornell University geneticist Dr. John Sanford.

I strongly disagree that it's thought-terminating to believe that God designed the universe and living things. This understanding will lead scientists to study the genius constructions, techniques, and formulas that God used in order to improve our own machines and inventions. In contrast, the belief that living things evolved by chance may cause scientists to dismiss something they don't understand as a useless evolutionary leftover, rather than studying it further to find its actual purpose (e.g. the appendix). Thus evolutionary assumptions retard scientific progress.

From my perspective God has given us an incredible amount of evidence for His work - it's all around us in nature if one is open to looking for it!

What are you referring to when you say "and being found to be wrong"? I'm genuinely curious.

From my perspective it's one of many evidences that our planet was intentionally created by God. I think He wanted us to experience these rare and spectacular events and use them to make astronomical discoveries.

I wonder if the police are afraid to investigate it thoroughly.

The title should include (2015).

What happened to the flu in 2020 and 2021?

How does the quality compare at the same file size? It seems like all the comparisons have fairly significant file size differences.

> When Columbia's tiles started popping off in a stiff breeze, it occurred to engineers that ice chunks from the tank would crash into the tiles during the sonic chaos of launch: Goodbye, Columbia. So insulation was added to the tank.

I didn't realize this was the reason for the thermal insulation. It's ironic how in the end the insulation popped off and crashed into the tiles during launch, causing the very disaster it was intended to prevent.

I use Psalm to statically analyze PHP code, and in my experience the control flow analysis is actually better than in TypeScript.

Have you tried using the playground?

To avoid a flicker, add

    <meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark" />

to the <head> tag, and also put the JavaScript code in <head> so it runs before any content is shown.

What do you mean? Bootstrap has not been affiliated with Twitter for more than a decade.

duosecurity/duo_universal_php did this with my PR.

It shows that this death is like a temporary sleep which God will wake us from. None who believe in Jesus will perish (experience the permanent second death after the judgment). John 5:28-29

Eyewitnesses wrote that Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, and later rose from the dead himself. If this really happened it makes sense why none of the apostles were afraid to die for what they were certain was true.

The Quran says that Allah sent Jesus with the Gospel (Sura 5:46). If this is true, then what Jesus said is true.

Jesus claimed to offer everlasting life to those who believe in him (see Gospel of John). Worth looking into?

As a person I can at least tell you what I do and don't understand about something, ask questions to improve/correct my understanding, and truthfully explain my perspective and reasoning.

The machine model is not only a black box, but one incapable of understanding anything about its input, "thought process", or output. It will blindly spit out a response based on its training data and weights, without knowing the difference whether it true or false, meaningful or complete gibberish.

By mentioning skin color in that sentence they seem to be implying it is connected to why she left the company. But they don't present any evidence of this, so why mention it?

Microsoft Edge is available for both Mac and Linux.

What if you don't have a Mac?
