This edition of "Overheard in the Office" comes from an old friend and fellow co-worker via Facebook. Because apparently when friends of mine hear funny tidbits in the office, Facebook status updates are the first thing they think, not "Oh I should probably e-mail this to my buddy who runs a humorous, somewhat work related blog." Come on people.
In discussing the end of the world in 2012 in relation to this mornings earthquake in Japan and subsequent tsunamis across the Pacific:
Where do I start? I guess by pointing out that any discussion on the end of the world involving the Mayan Calendar ending in 2012 shouldn't be confused with science, which is what I think is going on here. Voodoo, religion, astrology, I could understand it being thrown into those categories, science, not so much. And to anyone who actually believes in the whole 2012 thing, you've got serious issues, psychological shit that needs to get worked out. Putting faith in a bunch of dead Mexicans that dissapeared like 1,000 years ago isn't a thing sane people do. How smart could the Mayans have been? They went extinct just like the dinosaurs...just saying.
"I don't go by the science, I go by the sign of God"
Back to the original quote, I've never understood the Bible gripping population's distrust for science. If we weren't supposed to be down here figuring shit out on our own using our abilities of logic and reason, wouldn't he just have made us dumber as a whole? Isn't that a catch in the whole argument God over science argument?
So are you saying God screwed up with his design of man? Just a couple of oversights from a supposedly "omnipotent" being? I'm not so sure the big guy in the sky is going to like you accusing him of anything less than perfection, I'd start repenting now if you're one of those creationist loons. I hear this God character can be kind of vengeful for people who cross him, smoting people left and right back in Biblical days. Keep that in mind next time you take a shot at the great forward thinkers of our generation, the Al Gores, Bill Nye The Science Guys, and Al Kaprelian's of the world.
