(Attempt at) Addressing the Issues: Conflicts With Science

(originally published on Apr 11, 2010 8:30 PM at my old site)

I think this is the necessary/appropriate second post. I have made a big, sweeping declaration of faith, and now it is time to deal with the issues. to defend. to justify why i believe that what i believe is truth. or at least, that is what i will attempt to do. This post will discuss the apparent conflict with science.

I have always been interested in science. As a child, i would ask "why", and keep asking it, the recursive "why"s going until the end of time, bedtime, or the other person got bored, whatever came first. I would take apart broken appliances and marvel at their workings, not understanding, but amazed, trying to comprehend such complexity and wondering how any person could have made so many different components all work together.

First!

so this is my first lengthy text post, and i am quite excited about this prospect of blogging. I think i will start by explaining the name of this site:

g33k 4 Jesus

g33k:
this is 1337 (meaning leet, a messed up dialect of english used by those who want to sound cool on the internet, or for those whose Google site domain name of choice is already taken) for "geek". Many people use the term "geek" and "nerd" interchangeably, but this is not so. A nerd is someone who is very intelligent yet does not fit in with regular society. A geek is like a more badass version of a nerd. Geek is really more of a slowly growing underground culture of people who realize that fitting in with "normal" society is a way of suppressing your true self and giving up all that awesome for a lower, shared standard. Geek is intentionally choosing not to conform. Geek is also associated with technology, mad skills, and really weird interests. i like to think i am a geek.

4:
...means "for". no deep symbolism there, i don't think. wait yes actually. more on that later.
