Re: Kala updates etc.

Thank you for sharing this; I have read the old document on Moya, but it's been a little while. I have always found Moya to be an interesting script; at first glance, many of the characters seem difficult to tell apart, but when looking at the examples, It took me years too. Thank you, Glenn.

Re: Atheism and agnosticism thread

Science, as I understand it, is a set of empirical measurements and/or calculations that are used to explain and/or understand the natural world. Not "a view". I don't see a contradiction there. So, you either don't know what "a view" is, or you aren't sure what "science&qu...

Re: Atheism and agnosticism thread

Oh, you don't mean "science science", you mean "view of how the world works and where it came". Gotcha.
