Nah -- the mathematicians think the physicists wouldn't recognize a rigorous argument if it bit them in the butt, and the physicists think the mathematicians are anal-retentive pedants, but they manage peaceful coexistence.

Fuck the precession of Mercury's axis. These shitforbrains ignore the fact that every GPS algorithm in the world applies a relativistic correction.

Only vaguely like that. “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Some believers have managed, by strenuous mental gymnastics, to convince themselves that this implies responsible stewardship -- "taking care", if you will -- of the Earth. Many more take "subdue" and "dominion" at face value. This includes one Secretary of the Interior, who also decided that Wayne Newton should replace The Beach Boys on the National Mall on Independence Day.

I am also in Ontario, and it's about -6 right now (what that is in 'merrican, I really don't know) but c'mon, it's February, and it was like... 15 degrees last week. I would say it's been a pretty warm winter in Ontario.
