In fact, here's another answer to the question: I believe that we'll eventually figure out the origins of the universe, and that they will be scientific and natural, and have nothing whatsoever to do with any deity or omnipotent power. It clearly won't happen in my lifetime, but I think it will someday happen.

It involves creating viruses that can only replicate in (and destroy) cancer cells. Oncoviruses, as they're called, are to current chemotherapy as carpet bombing is to a precise guided missile. It's very cool, if I do say so myself.

As a chemist, I'm obliged to plug photodynamic therapy, especially if someone comes up with a pH-sensitive drug so you don't have to sit in the dark for three hours after the treatment. Science threadjack well under way.

Fair enough. I don't really get going until after 9AM either.

Not by choice. Inconsiderate people schedule meetings and classes and labs then.
Hell, last semester I had to be at school at 8 to ride herd on students. On a Friday, no less. I had to leave my apartment no later than 7:30ish to make it on time. This is not fun when the sun isn't up. One of the curses of living at higher latitudes. It's hard to get out of bed when it's still dark outside. I'm just luck I'm not female and don't have to spend hours primping beforehand.

I know about trying to wake up in the dark too, lol. Admittedly, England is a bit lower down than Canada, for which I am very grateful. If I want to be cold, I go to Scotland. For summer :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

You are all such whining amateurs. Some of us have to be awake and rolling at five a.m. in order to be at work on time. In June and July I get up at dawn, but otherwise my alarm goes off well before sunrise. (which really sucks in April and September, when said sunrise is at 00 mark 20 and I'm driving directly into it.)

The benefits of living two minutes away from work, I guess.

5am? :shock: *faints* evay...you're a nutter :wink: I'm so not a morning person :wink: Even when I get up and drive into work I haven't really woken up till 11am with the help of a few cups of tea...
They don't need to worry about me falling asleep at the wheel. I already am when I get in the car :wink:

evay, you have my sympathies. I did the "5 AM to work" thing for three months in Basic and two months more recently, and it was horribly every time. I have to get up at 6 two days a week for university, which is bad enough. The worst part is walking through the dark, arriving at the lecture and listening for two hours while the sun rises outside. You just want to jump up, run outside and throw yourself at the next soft spot to sleep some more. I show my true colors when I have time off; 10 AM, no sooner. (Though that doesn't equate more sleep; I stay up longer in the evenings.)

In response to the whole AI/free will debate.
Here is a link that displays the OPPOSITE of my point of view: http://mmco.megaman-network.com/analyses/freewill.shtml And here is a link that displays, in fact, my very own point of view: http://maverickz3r0.tripod.com/ Erm...ignore the first paragraph if you want. Given that these use Mega Man as correlation, it is one of the few good video games to draw reference from. I would go on, but frankly, my wrist is sore from all that.
