Yeah. You're definitly thinking of Mr. Von Tiesenhausen and I think he still speaks but I'm not sure.

Hehe... yes, Doctor Von T is an awesome man... he influenced me to go into physics! And this year, 3 years since the first time I saw him speak, I finally got to see him speak again! Yay!

HAH im such an idiot!!! While i was writing this i was vaguely trying to make out his name on my id card and the first name that came was Von Braun hahaha! Yeah he is a really good lecturer cept slightly punctured was his speech (and every speech that year for taht matter) from this one kid who defiantly asked every lecturer if they beleived inGod or the Big Bang.....

Dangit... I hate it when religious people get overzealous on those kinds of things... really, what I don't get is why people can't just believe that God created the universe through the Big Bang... anyways, I don't want to start an argument here...

Oh, good one!
On the first Day God created Heaven and Earth... which could mean that the planets were formed by the big bang... I like this theory... best of both worlds. :)

Indeed. I'm, like, a scientific Christian. (but, not a Christian Scientist... I still don't have a clue what those folks actually believe...)

But yeah... I like my theory.

My camp experience was rather interesting this year when it came to religion. I was the lonely protestant, there were three Catholics, and a guy from New Zealand who insisted that God doesn't exist.
I wish people would stop arguing about religion. Personally, I agree with MNathaniel. I don't have a problem with other beliefs/non-beliefs until people start attacking others about it.
