The Atlas of Creation

Oy... The Atlas Of Creation:

Darwin's claims were of course based on no scientific evidence or findings. But since the scientific understanding and technological means available at the time were at a fairly primitive level, the full extent of the ridiculous and unrealistic nature of his assertions did not emerge fully into the light of day. In such a climate, Darwin's scenarios received general acceptance from a wide number of circles.

The foundation of Darwin's theory of evolution was materialism. Therefore, it didn't take long for his theory to be adopted by materialists. Since materialist circles denied the fact of creation, they blindly grasped at the theory of evolution, and even declared that it was supposedly the scientific basis of their own world views.

By carrying out a great deal of research and investigation, and by establishing artificial environments in laboratories, they sought to come up with findings that would corroborate Darwin's theory. However, every piece of research and every new finding they obtained, only constituted evidence that refuted evolution rather than confirming it. Science and technology had made rapid progress since the beginning of the 20th century, and refuted the theory of evolution. All the branches of science concerned with the subject–such as microbiology, biomathematics, cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, anatomy, physiology, anthropology and paleontology- -revealed countless proofs that totally undermined the theory of evolution.

The fossil record is perhaps the most important evidence that demolishes the theory of evolution's claims. Fossils reveal that life forms on Earth have never undergone even the slightest change and have never developed into one another. Examining the fossil record, we see that living things are exactly the same today as they were hundreds of millions of years ago—in other words, that they never underwent evolution. Even during the most ancient periods, life forms emerged suddenly with all their complex structures–with the perfect and superior features, just as do their counterparts today.

That's the introduction to Volume 1. There are at least two other volumes described, though they don't seem to be available for purchase. Here's a bit from Vol III:

Until recently, no one had the courage to unmask this ruse of satan's and to publicize the true facts. But in the present century, the response to this deception has finally been laid out in full detail, and the public has been made fully aware of the state of affairs. By the will of God, the collapse of Darwinism has advanced beyond any point of recovery. Indeed, that is the fundamental reason for the panic in the Darwinian global empire.

How does someone who honestly believes there's some kind of global conspiracy to push evolution onto the masses manage to make enough money to put out a book like that? Shouldn't wild-eyed barking insanity make it difficult for a person to come up with the money needed to self-publish a 750+ page full-color book ? Well, I suppose the money could've been inherited - but that just makes the case for the Estate Tax. And not just one book, either - the guy's got dozens!

The Best Kind Of Meeting...

... is one where you walk out with fewer tasks than you had when you went in.

For the past three months, I've been wincing at a gigantic "plan" that's been sitting on my desk, waiting for me to start it. It's not so much a plan as a very vaguely-defined wish list. But even in this rough state, it's clear that it will obviously take a metric ass-load of work to do, no matter what we come up with as the final version. And it's been hard for me to get all the relevant players into a meeting so they can decide on the specifics, and so we can all get a clear idea about how much work it will take. But, today I got my meeting. And after 40 minutes of talking, a little nugget of gold fell out of the key player's mouth - no not his tooth, but rather, it was the fact that what he needs is really just a small tweak to what our product already does. So, instead of needing me to rewrite 90% of what we have, it turns out that what I've already written does 90% of what we need. Awesome! I feel like someone just pulled a big bag of wet sand off my back.

Yay!

Sexsomnia

CNN wants to give you nightmares, so they list Five disorders that make sleep scary. Here's #3:

It's embarrassing enough to be told that you snore or mumble in your sleep, but imagine being told that you take off all your clothes, moan in ecstasy, and sometimes even pleasure yourself -- all without any memory of doing so. This is what happens with Sexsomnia.

The scariest part is that they only list four... the acute hypochondria caused by reading article itself is the fifth! Boo!

Second!

The Dante's Inferno Test has banished me to the Second Level of Hell!
Here is how I matched up against all the levels:

Take the Dante's Inferno Hell Test

I have no idea what any of those scores mean.

Opus

A very generous person gave my wife a bottle of 1996 Opus One last week. Though I'm glad she did, I don't know why anyone would do that. Since it was, coincidentally, our anniversary on Friday, we had a perfect reason to open it. And so we did.

We like us some wine at Chez Cleek, and we're not afraid of spending a few bucks on a good bottle (or a few bucks on a bunch of average bottles) now and then (a.k.a. "Saturday"). We know there's a clear difference between a $9 bottle and a $39 bottle. I guess you can say we're not exactly wine drinking novices. But 1996 Opus One is collector wine: the kind of stuff wine writers gush over; its' the kind of wine most people will only experience, if at all, as an exotic relic, posing with a few haughty Bordeaux in the locked satin-draped museum case at Total Wine. So, we weren't sure what to expect.

A little research told us that we should decant it, before drinking. Decant? Yipes. So we bought a decanter, and let that wine breathe for 40 minutes while I cooked up two perfect filets and a shittake risotto. And then it was drinkin' time!

What does a $90/glass wine taste like? Well, I'm no wine critic, but I'll try to describe it...

If you like red wine, and have ever had anything that didn't come out of a box, you might know how a wine can be "silky" and "balanced"; how the acid, the sweetness, and the fruit work together without one overpowering the others; how the oak isn't so strong that you think you're in a lumber yard; how there's no sharp bite of alcohol; how it works with the right food to enhance all of that instead of losing its balance and turning too sweet or sour or watery; how there's no strange aftertaste; how it manages to balance all those things but still have a huge and wonderful flavor that you simply want to drink because it's absolutely delicious. You can get some of that in a $12 bottle, if you're lucky. You can usually get more of it in a $30 bottle. But you get it all with an Opus One. It's everything you've ever liked about all the various red wines you've ever liked before, all in one bottle. Well, that's not strictly true - it's definitely a California Cabernet (blend), and not a spicy Spanish Priorat or an acidic Italian Chianti, or a delicate Pinot Noir - it's the best of all the things a California Cabernet should be. Delicious.

Is it worth the price? Yeah, that's a tough one. On one hand, for a wine lover, it's a chance to taste what an essentially perfect California Cabernet tastes like; on the other hand, you can buy three cases of everyday wine, or a single case of really good wine, for the same price. One Opus One Mondavi-Rothschild Cabernet blend, or thirty-six Mondavi-Woodbridge Cabernets ? In our income bracket, I guess we'll have to stick with the latter.
