The Watchmaker Argument or Infallible Design

If you found this watch on your mousepad and not only was it functioning, but it told the correct time, you would wonder where the owner was without his/her watch, right? You wouldn't assume that the computer mouse suddenly collected dust in such a way to create a watch, right? This is another version of the watchmaker argument for the existence of God. Since life is such a perfect example of a machine, we can say that it is naive to assume that it was created from random occurance. In fact, science has this rule that if something is rediculously improbable, we can assume that it didn't happen. Aethiests are making the rediculously improbable claim that our computer mouse has gathered dust to make this watch (and made it tell time correctly to within a minute). It makes me wonder who they're trying to fool. But it's an interesting question since its very unanswered existence means that science lacks a lot of knowledge. That's good news for us scientists, because we want to find it out.

Making of Javantea's Fate 173

No video today, but instead, you get a kitty. "Neko, neko, wai!" One of these pictures is not like the others. Which is it? If you said the one on the bottom, you're only half correct. I was talking about the animation. You can clearly see that the one on the middle right has it's ears backwards. That's my big invention today and I'm happy with getting that. Kitties express their mood with their ears. If a kitty's ears are back and you're within sixty feet, you're in danger of getting your eyes torn out. I've seen it happen, so don't question me. Well, I guess I haven't seen it, but rather I have been the recipient of a kitty in kitty frisbee (my brother was playing, I wasn't, and I was seriously torn up). Kitties are good physics subjects, but should be kept in a sterile environment with padded walls during testing. They are great physicists, too seeing that they can accurately manipulate angular momentum conservation to land right side up when they drop from a height. It all started last night when I went on this crazy website called Caption Machine, or rather before that when I searched on Goggle for "masturbate kittens". Hehehe. That is because I found this cool picture and wondered where it came from. There's a picture of a cat running scared with two stuffed monster toys behind it. And the caption that goes with it says: "Every time you masturbate... God kills a kitten. (Please, think of the kittens.)" I think it's quite funny. The next best caption is: "Summamabitch! LORI! Your friggin brownies are chasing the cat again!" So this is the result. The lesson today is to model even if you don't want to model a human. I tried to do a cat made of a box base, but it didn't work. So I worked with a cylinder. I had about 10 stacks and 6 slices. It worked pretty well. I do have one tip to give you, the Jesus Christ pose is the easiest to do because it's flat. This cat was very rough to do because I had to hide one leg while I flipped edges on the other. You don't wanna know.

Now this is cool. Check out this video with audio. Turn on your speakers, because it's got sound. It's only 86 kB, so there's no worry about waiting an hour for a 2 second video. Those buttons below it actually do what they say. Tt requires Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player 7. If you don't meet the requirements, click here for the movie in your favorite avi viewer. It's in DivX 5.02 format, as I hope you already know. Click here for the codec.

Making of Javantea's Fate 169

Greetings, another Making Of JF in your face! Check out these nine videos. All together, it's 474 kB, but each video is around 57 kB. So it should be quicker than the PNG. Those buttons below it actually do what they say sometimes. I'm working on it. This is actually part of my wonderful RPG system. Video without windows controllable by script. Of course, it requires Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player 7. If you don't meet the requirements, click here for links to each movie. They're in DivX format, as I hope you already know. Click here for the codec.
