“This twilight, Lothaire was holding court.
He sat upon his gilded throne, decorated
with gold-dipped skulls. His design. If he’d had a queen, her throne would have been similar. Of course, her skulls would be daintier.”

“Science packages theory, places it on a throne, and honors and protects it much like a queen. Engineers make the queen come down from the throne and scrub the floor. And if she doesn’t work, we fire her.”

Micro evolution, as I understand it, is adaptation. And characteristic of a good design is the ability to adapt to differing environments. <br class="br">Evolutionary algorithms based on Darwinian evolution do not, by themselves, have the ability to create information. <br class="br">Christians are being subjected to the same “separate but equal” discrimination used to justify discrimination in the old Jim Crow south. <br class="br"> ``Darwin or Design with Dr. Tom Woodward`` (audio), Thomas E.

“THE Moon is sailing o'er the sky,
But lonely all, as if she pined
For somewhat of companionship,
And felt it was in vain she shined:
Earth is her mirror, and the stars
Are as the court around her throne;
She is a beauty and a queen;
But what is this? she is alone.”

Letitia Elizabeth Landon (1802–1838) English poet and novelist

“I would sooner receive injustice in the Queen's courts than justice in a foreign court. I hold that man or woman to be a scoundrel who goes abroad to a foreign court to have the judgments of the Queen's courts overturned, the actions of her Government countermanded or the legislation of Parliament struck down.”

And scorn to give aught other reason why;
Would shake hands with a king upon his throne,
And think it kindness to his Majesty.”

All he had was a skull for a head.”
