Hey, hows it goin? going?
I've always wondered how to feel about the dichotomy between creationism and Darwinist evolution, how can, in the face of irrefutable scientific data,  hold true to our belief how can we disregard the knowledge we have acquired as members of the human race that strongly suggests that species do evolve?
Honestly there were a lot of big words and this is a little embarrassing but I don't really understand what you were just saying haha Oh, the irony Oh, the second one I understand though That right there is the one thing that I find embarrassing. You know when someone says something and you decide to go along with it for a whil
where do we draw the line? The bible says that God created man, but the objective scientific date would suggest that man was not created, but evolved as a result of
then after a long time your like wait what???
environmental stimuli
Thats a good point to make out. I think there are a lot of scientific things that come out that can be true
haha yeah that is pretty awkward, like sometimes I don't hear what people say and just try to continue the conversation anyway
I don't necessarily believe that true science and true religion should have any conflicts. after all God created both
but it usually doesn't work out because in order to have a conversation you've kinda gotta be on the same page]
haha, I do that all the time and it always comes back to bite me in the but
its a give and take relationship and yeah, I don't actually have any real reservations about religion Vs science, I just thought it would be funny to go on a rant about it
Yup, sometimes its ok, to be talking about two different things but as long as you both know what those two things are. Kind of like this science / communication conversation we are having
are you trying to win this conversation thing? also do you know when it ends and how much you need to get entered into the raffle?
Its almost like somehow there are two conversations, but yet they both are flowing fairly well and we know what we are both talking about
like win the prize from the chit chat challenge thing i mean
I think it would be cool It ends friday
yeah haha, It's because i just sort of type random stuff and then look up and respond to what you responded to a couple minutes ago
I have a long way to go, but I just started two days ago and feel like Im doing fairly well
so sorry this conversation has been a little disjointed what are you at right now?
Haha, its all good actually to be honest most of the conversations that I have had online have been this way Im number 2 number 1 actually just not 0 the number system is all messed up
yeah because most people just type a lot to get more points.
it starts at zero and I'm the next one
yeah I don't know why 0 is actually 1
I try to have a decent conversation with people, I think it is super cool what they are doing with the Alexa project. But sometimes some of the things that I type don't come out the way that I intend I really do want to help them though. And if I can win something in the process, why not?
yeah it is pretty cool stuff, hopefully this helps develop the AI and stuff with these conversations
Its crazy to think in a few years, we could hear our conversations on an Alexa or something
so are you not gonna let up until you get ahead of the guy in 0 place? He's really far ahead so I kinda gave up haha
That just seems kind of funny to me. You just realize wow, that for some reason, sounds a lot like me! Haha Are you going to try to win it this time?
nah I'm way too far behind and I feel like the dude in first is just gonna do a bunch of conversations as soon as someone gets even relatively close to him like he got off to such a big lead at the beginning it was insane, so he clearly has a lot of time to do this thing haha
ya, I think that could happen too, I actually just met him this morning on the chat.
oh really haha? yeah I've chatted with him a few times earlier in the cycle when he was doing it a lot
It was a little awkward to be honest. I don't think he knew who I was but I realized that every time he typed his score would go up a little haha He has slowed down quite a bit though hasn't he.
oh haha and are you like trying to beat him?
He hasn't changed at least since Monday that much Ya, Im over halfway there and I have a plan a little.
yeah, I think just because he got a big lead so he didn't want to do more than he had to, but I bet a soon as someone gets close he'll start going crazy again?
The hardest part of the chat thing right now is the fact of not having someone to chat with
yeah it's not super active, what's your plan to beat him?
I think that is something that he will face a little too He will face a long time where no-one will chat
yeah true, he scared off a lot of the competition but by doing that he also made it harder for him to stay in the lead
But I have some friends that I have been able to call up and we are going to spend time just pounding out a great conversations on here
ahhh ok, so you think you'll just be able to gradually gain the lead on him?
Kind of, I think he has relaxed a bit. The only time that he gets on during the week has been in the morning. At least this week. So now, I don't think that he will get on the rest of the day I think I can get another million points today or more and then Im in the running. If the chats are dead and I have friends that can hook me up with good chats then boom I
he does have a pretty big lead on you though haha, like he was 2 million ahead of everyone else last time i checked
will be able to blaze past
hmm yeah true but he might have people he knows too that he can get on with specifically to get points as well
ya, he is still two million up, but for the past two days I've been able to average about eight hundred thousand a day.
so it might be harder than that, like I would try but I'm worried I'll end up just wasting time
Ya, thats a good point. I don't know exactly how it will work out. But I mean, what do I have to lose
I'm just gonna get enough for the raffle entry this round, that for the macbook and if you get 500,000 you get 1 entry and if you get 1,500,000 you get two entries
ya, it is a lot of time, but Ive been doing it in class and other places that Im already stuck in situations, so most of the time that Ive been doing it, it hasn't been much different than what Ive already been doing
you could just get there and then maybe try next round since he wont be able to win unless you just want to full send then go for it haha
oh, I didn't know that! Good luck! Hey, if you want to stay on for a while I'm completely down for helping each other out Im already to both of those. Im near two million already Im going to shoot for it. Its not going to hurt me, and honestly I really like talking to people
yeah i can stay on for a few more minutes but ill probably have to go soon because I've got class
There have been some crazy cool conversations and Ive learned a lot about other cultures from around the world which you think wouldn't exist just being here at BYU
yeah it is pretty fun, and sorry i've actually got to go now, we're doing something in my class and i need to pay attention now, Peace! yeah it is really cool though see you later maybe!
