open source, open genomics, open creation

Yup, it's all Britain's fault....

I agree with the perspective, but it's not that everything began with the IR. Rather everything took a big step toward ending when we learned to control fire, and another when we learned agriculture. Our basic problems stem from our animal instinct of greed and our excessive success as a species, to the point where we think we're beyond the laws of nature.
