To all,
Lets get the basic information out of the way. I live in Arizona, United States of America, I am 18 years old, and I love Philly Cheesesteak (Cheese Steak? CheeseSteak?) sandwiches. I regularly attend a Unitarian Universalist congregation and I consider myself a skeptic. That is, I'll believe it when I see it, religiously speaking. One caveat: I am going to major in physics, so I do appreciate the scientific method and all that science has given to us, imperfect though it may be. I was introduced to this site recently by an aqcuaintance who is in a church group with me, although it is less church and more group. Little did I know that she was a moderator, a person with such awesome power and responsibility as to make me feel faint and steady myself on furniture whenever I contemplate it. You would think you'd be able to tell these people apart by the way they look or something, but you can't. To conclude, from what little I have already seen of this site, it seems that there is more genuine debate and free exchange of ideas here than I have seen anywhere. I am looking forward to becoming an active member of this community, though I doubt I will ever be as knowledgable on any topic as some of these folks seem to be. Physics is easy compared to this stuff. |

Welcome fellow skeptic!
Yes, this place is absolutely fabulous--I've learned more here than I have anywhere else I think!

Ceridwen- I am certainly learning a lot here and I am also finding that posts often lead me to do research elsewhere on my own, so the effect is multiplied. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, This is great stuff!

Oddly enough, my parents happen to be in New Zealand at this very moment. Galivanting halfway around the world while I sit at home watching the dog... :cry:
In all seriousness though, I visited New Zealand for a month last summer. You are truly lucky, or blessed as the case may be, to live in such a beautiful country with such great people. For now I can only sit here and envy you.

What's your favourite place in NZ?
Queenstown? Auckland? I went to Rainbow's end, Thames of Firth, Rotorua. Is the South Island great? Great for you. God bless you forever |

hey mersault-- welcome!
There are a few threads with discussions of the Big Bang, the beginning of the universe, etc. where your knowledge of physics could really help straighten some things out--most of us only have a layman's grasp of the laws of energy, entropy, etc.
