Who is your favourite Christian author? Which all kind of books do you generally read?

mattithyahu I would have to say that N.T. Wright and C.S. Lewis are my favs. Both are extremely intelligent and have amazing words of wisdom to share. They are both able to expound on theology in a way that people can understand and dwell on.

jwfarrimond @jwfarrimond (4473) 16 Jan 08

mattithyahu It completely depends on the nebula in which it is formed. If there is material there, it will condense.

mattithyahu Sorry, but "Planet X" doesn't exist. Scientists used to think that there was another planet beyond Pluto (which now isn't a planet either), but they have realized that there isn't based on more accurate measurements of Pluto and Neptune. Eris is slightly...

What is your oppinion has been the best prank played in the office. I liked the "Dwight Faxes from the Future" or the "Creed's Potatoe Apple".

mattithyahu I think my favorite is when Jim kept adding nickels to Dwight's phone to make it heavier and then took them all out at once so he punched himself in the face. Oh good times.

mattithyahu Elizabeth is always having to defend reality. Rosie and Behar are SO far left that they continue to spout nonsense (can anyone say 9/11 conspiracy theories??) and Elizabeth has to try to bring some rationality. Rosie is the one that continues to ignore what is...

Do you think nuclear power is a good thing?

MarkyB21 @MarkyB21 (1545) 14 May 07

Nuclear power is often referred to as a 'clean' power source, when using it was first being planned the scientists of the time thought that they would produce free energy too. In fact most nuclear power stations have not...

mattithyahu I guess that is why I said "in order to produce power at any sort of efficiency and level there has to be a dam..." The smaller produces are like the wind turbines, they are a great idea, but they take up lots of space and just don't produce that much.

mattithyahu Thank you Susie, I really appreciate it! Yeah, I have seen that she isn't exactly the most welcome in a variety of places and seems to attack anyone who disagrees with her. Fairly strange behavior if you ask me.
