I would like to add two more examples, that have soul and emotion:
Final Fantasy VI
Chrono Trigger

I'm not sure if the words "dead last" are an appropriate match for "eight most important".

Appreciated. For those who do not click through on that link, here is a statement from one of the sources provided on Wikipedia: "We did not wish to mislead the public into thinking that scientific issues are decided by who has the longer list of scientists!"

I certainly cannot claim that there are no scientists who, from certain persuasions, would definitely have an opinion on Evolution vs. Creation/Intelligent Design. I can also give this caution. To those of you who think that some who believe in Intelligent Design or Creation are 'ignorant', 'naive', or 'guileless' might think about others in human history who disagreed with each other.

Appreciate your reading this.

Good answer, I appreciate it. I am not sure if I can give a response to you of as high quality. I always want to try to avoid the way of speaking that a person commonly finds when this topic comes up, that of dismissal, personal attacks, angry retorts, etc.
In any event, the best I can come up with to further the conversation is to ask you this: Couldn't we also ask 'If there is a Creator, why didn't he give us super powers?'

I like that, someone disagrees with evolution, so they are morons? I know I'm being a little unnecessarily sarcastic here, but where have I heard that before?

Since you mention Creationism, I want to also mention that Creationism is not the only viewpoint of those who believe in creation as described in the Bible. As a Jehovah's Witness, I feel fairly well educated about the matter*. One of the things that I have learned about the Bible, that I often hear being associated with Creationism, is that in Genesis 1, where the creative days are described, the "days" are not referring to "24-hour periods".

From Awake magazine, September 2006: "The fact is that the Hebrew word translated “day” can mean various lengths of time, not just a 24-hour period. For example, when summarizing God’s creative work, Moses refers to all six creative days as one day. (Genesis 2:4)

* No, I am not a biology professor. No I don't think that I know everything. Please do not presume so or criticize me for not knowing everything.

What a nice way of disagreeing with somebody. Did you ever wonder why people who don't believe in evolution are so zealous in expressing themselves?

I like your point about the livers. could you humor me: if there was an intelligent designer or even a Creator, would it be possible that he would use similar anatomical parts for different animals?

Please don't attack me or belittle my question.

Citation please.

Teach all sides.

Evolution -> has gaps large enough to drive a truck through, assumes no real design in the universe, that the patterns in nature are all random happenstance, presumes the lack of any driving force, fails to explain DNA properly, pretends that "irreducable complexity" does not exist.

Creationism -> A broad term encompassing those believing in evolution guided by "intelligent design" over vast swaths of time, and the "young earth" crowd espousing a literal 6 * 24hr day creation. (I'm not even getting into a word study on the hebrew word of "yom" and how it can be literal or figurative).

Why can we not teach that we don't have the answer because we are standing at the end looking back and guessing how we got here? We dig through the scrap heat of history and try to put the pieces together. We cannot prove via the scientific process the existence or lack of a driving force, because if it exists, it has intelligence, and if that intelligence far outstrips our own, then it can thwart or avoid our tests.

Rather we could simply teach our kids rational thinking and that truth exists, and they are choosing what they choose to believe.

The separation of Church & State does NOT necessitate the separation of God & Country.

That is, such as a citation? Some example of what you speak as to further the topic? Really if you think about it, you've got home field advantage by picking the example and forcing it to stand or fall.

Nice.

Anything else to add to the conversation?

I see there is a lot of critical thinking going on here.

For discussion/perspective:
Proverbs 11:5 Jehovah himself examines the righteous one as well as the wicked one, And anyone loving violence His soul certainly hates.

Note an important difference between what I see many others argue and this: It's not just whether doing what Jehovah God desires is obviously beneficial or otherwise. Nor is it doing so out of duty. Rather, most important and easiest to do when you are 'of that persuasion', is doing so out of love for God and a desire to please him.

That's my perspective.

That is a really nice way of driving. As a 'slow driver' myself, sometimes i come across a big truck/etc. going 5-10 slower than the limit, and if the traffic beside me is somewhat open then I will pass. Although sometimes the fast lane is quite clear, and I go to pass, and someone comes behind me going 15+ over the limit and comes right on my butt... so selfish/foolish. By keeping some space, at least you are considering the safety of others.

As for myself, when I have the space in front of me 'hijacked' so to speak, I have learned over the last few years to not worry about it. I've tried to apply the advice a 50ish year old friend of mine told me - that he doesn't let others driving or provocations bother him. I consider myself to be 5% of the way to getting this down!

To really go on and on, it still makes me mad when I remember sitting at an intersection to turn left and enter the freeway, and I had to stop short, I think it may have been to my own inattention, nevertheless the car behind me was driven by a young woman and she was right on me when I started to move forward and so had to stop right away to avoid hitting me. She wasn't exercising much caution herself, yet she honked at me - fine, my move wasn't the best for sure. What really made me angry was when we both got on the highway and she passed me, her boyfriend/whatever sitting in the passenger seat gave me a sullen glare slouched into his window and had his middle finger raised towards me. I hate to admit that I wanted to sideswipe him right there. Not a good impulse!
