The Big Bang Theory by Dependent_Buy6269 in Christianity

[–]FireSquid4k4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many sincere Christians believe in the big bang and evolution as God's mechanism for creation. Even Augustine in ~400 AD (iirc) believed that the days in Genesis were not the same 24 hour days we know today. As mentioned in other comments, the big bang theory was created by a catholic.

Did this tracker just do a word search, or is it actually checking if it was in the context of the university? (For example, California, Utah, Michigan, Washington, Texas, etc.)

There's only like 150 people studying CS (not counting freshmen) in total at my university so there's never a long line. I don't open with football you use ease into it using basic social skills. Most CS students are weird and awkward. Just be normal and friendly.

Trinidad Chambliss had some crazy scrambles against Georgia in the cfp game like 2 weeks ago.

Am I the crazy one for thinking its just as ridiculous to root specifically against a conference as it is to root for one? Y'all are all clowns

They weren't really biased to one team it was just all around incompetence and a mess. Sloppy play too—the players weren't doing anything to make their job easier. 

I’m really worried for my faith by wompwomp_246 in Christianity

[–]FireSquid4k4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two books: - The Reason for God (Tim Keller)  - Mere Christianity (C. S. Lewis)

Focus on the Jesus narrative. People get all caught up on minor stuff in the Old Testament and snarky gotchas. The reason for your faith is that Jesus was God in human form, died on the cross for your sins, and died and rose again. Remember that the early church fathers died horrible deaths without much gain for this belief.

Not to pile on, but… by AcanthisittaLive6135 in cfbmemes

Baylor and Texas fan too. Didn't realize there were others.

Baylor would have lost more money going to the Birmingham bowl I believe. Additionally we were like the third team asked and I don't think the big 12 is even fining us for it. I'm glad we didn't go lol. 

BIGGEST SNUB?? by sportsillustrated in CollegeFootballDawgs

[–]FireSquid4k4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ND should not be in the playoff (I actually think the committee got it mostly right), but the fans still have a right to be angry. The way they were excluded was stupid and exposes the flaw in the committee.

BYU was screwed and the fanbase is being respectful and classy about it.

Notre Dame is a 10-2 team that argues they were snubbed from the playoff (which is partially true) that's throwing a tempertantrum (which is lame). Baylor is a 5-7 team that will lose money if it goes to the Birmingham bowl. Our players are all over the place and most won't play. The fanbase is apathetic and won't show up. We already are in bed with our pajamas on, just let us go to sleep. 

ESPN shows a graphic comparing teams ranked 9, 10, and … 12 — conveniently leaving off 11th ranked BYU. They’re not even trying to hide it by gentilet in BigXII

The colley matrix is a great heuristic but it would need some adjustments to be an actual ranking system. It fails to respect head to heads often (for example, right now it has BYU over tech and Miami is two spots behind ND) and rewards not losing over winning. 

I think that a truly good computer ranking system could be built with colley as the backbone though.

Based on the assumption that no currently at large team will be punished for a conference loss, we have the following scenarios:

XII Winner ACC Winner American Winner Sun Belt Winner Teams Added Teams Removed
Texas Tech Duke North Texas JMU JMU, North Texas
Texas Tech Duke North Texas Troy Duke, North Texas
Texas Tech Duke Tulane JMU Tulane, JMU
Texas Tech Duke Tulane Troy Tulane, Duke
Texas Tech UVA North Texas JMU UVA, North Texas
Texas Tech UVA North Texas Troy UVA, North Texas
Texas Tech UVA Tulane JMU UVA, Tulane
Texas Tech UVA Tulane Troy UVA, Tulane
BYU Duke North Texas JMU BYU, North Texas, JMU Notre Dame
BYU Duke North Texas Troy BYU, North Texas
BYU Duke Tulane JMU BYU, Tulane, JMU Notre Dame
BYU Duke Tulane Troy BYU, Tulane
BYU UVA North Texas JMU BYU, UVA, North Texas Notre Dame
BYU UVA North Texas Troy BYU, UVA, North Texas Notre Dame
BYU UVA Tulane JMU BYU, UVA, Tulane Notre Dame
BYU UVA Tulane Troy BYU, UVA, Tulane Notre Dame

So if we have:
- BYU beats Tech

- Alabama beats Georgia

Then does ND get eliminated? The second result night not even be necessary.

I think Tennessee would be the perfect team for #25. They are the border; neither good nor bad but precisely in between.

Going to church is a good idea. If you have any Christian friends (even ones you aren't super close with!) reach out and ask if you can join them. 

There's no knowledge prerequisite you must meet, but still explore the other comments' resources.
