Maybe you've addressed this before and I'm just being thick, but is there a particular reason you want to change creationists' minds? I'm a scientist, an astrophysicist to be exact, but also a Christian, which makes me a creationist under pretty much any definition. The other people you mentioned, like anti-vaccers or climate change deniers, could hurt others directly or indirectly by not taking certain actions, so I could understand wanting to change their minds. Why creationists, though?

There is an ongoing debate in America concerning whether science classes should be allowed to teach evolution, which is, y’know, the biggest idea in the history of biology. Discussing biology without evolution is like discussing language without grammar. Or, like discussing astrophysics without Edwin Hubble’s ideas.

The people who oppose the teaching of evolution call themselves “Creationists” so that is who I was talking about. I think that basing science curriculum on religion is a disservice to students and to the entire world, as those students will find it very difficult to join the scientific community if they have not been taught that the most fundamental ideas of biology are false.

You can be depressed and not feel sad or blue. Depression can also be a haze of sleepiness, distractedness/obsessiveness cycles, and a twinge of irritability that can be hard to recognize because you might already be a “fiery” person. It can feel like a lazy Sunday that keeps imposing itself for weeks or months.

Hi there!  My name is Michael Gethers, and I’m a photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Like most of us here, I have an intense passion for photography and the unique art form that it is, and I’m thrilled to be able to share that with this like-minded community.   I love photography for the images that result from it, certainly.  But I think it is about more than that.  Photography is about emotion and exploration, power and adventure.  It is about a feeling, or a thought, or a vision, and it’s about relaying that to a larger audience.  That is what I try to do with my photos.  I don’t just want you to see what I saw, I want you to feel what I felt.  Certainly that is easier said than done, but please, have a look around and let me know what you think.  Happy browsing, but more importantly, happy shooting!

Took this picture of two lovely friends of mine, one of the last days I spent in my hometown. Looking at this now makes me feel warm and honored; because even if it was just for a second, even if it was just for the time of a picture, I’ve been part of something so big and beautiful as their love. - Palermo, Italy  January 5. 2015.

America: our education system needs to improve!

American education: we need another standardized test and more homework!

Finland: actually, we became one of the worlds' best education systems by getting rid of homework and standardized tests - also, we pay our teachers better than you.

China: same

Belgium: same

American education: better make it two more standardized tests.
