Non-Darwinian Wordle

WTF does this stupidity have to do with science?

NOTHING !

Time to shut this troll thread down.

Today's Wordle.

It is always shocking to get this on second or even third try.

Can we agree this nonsense of yours serves no purpose in the Science and Technology forum?

During our water break at racquetball this morning, I asked Richard to give me the starting word.

He picked "SNEAK".

Brilliant. Lucky. Since E is a great last letter, I picked STYLE and was as shocked as Richard was
when it ran all green.

Hats off to Marathon Mike, one of my many buds here.

Yesterday in 2.
Today in 3.
Richard said "TODAY".

THINK was my guess, followed by TENTH because they love to double letter you.

 

[ChemEngineer]

Thai said "BEACH."

Only C was green.
Allen ventured "FRICK."

That's not a word, Allen. But I like QUICK, because they like double letters and
seldom used letters, such as Q:

Incredibly enough, the image on my laptop just before this one is 2 Aug 12, 2022.

You can't make this stuff up!

 

[ChemEngineer]

I can't believe it.

2, 3, 4, 2 in four successive days
I don't bother saving the 4s. No big.

Religiously unaffiliated subjects had significantly more lifetime suicide attempts and more first-degree relatives who committed suicide than subjects who endorsed a religious affiliation. Unaffiliated subjects were younger, less often married, less often had children, and had less contact with family members. Furthermore, subjects with no religious affiliation perceived fewer reasons for living, particularly fewer moral objections to suicide. In terms of clinical characteristics, religiously unaffiliated subjects had more lifetime impulsivity, aggression, and past substance use disorder. - Religious Affiliation and Suicide Attempt, American Journal of Psychiatry, December, 2004


Atheists claim to have all the answers, but I have all the questions. If they are so smart, why are 20% of Nobel Prize Laureates of the Jewish faith when its adherents constitute only .2% of the world population; 65% of Laureates are Christians; only about 10% are atheists and theirs are disproportionately in literature, not any science? Why are they so depressed? Why are they so bitter? Why do they marry so much less frequently than people of faith when marriage has scientifically been associated with better mental and physical health compared to remaining single? Why do they have so few children when the Darwinian Imperative is to maximize offspring? Why don’t they know that high I.Q. is not wisdom (take the Unabomber, please)?

" - A large-scale 1972 study found that persons who did not attend church were four times as likely to commit suicide than were frequent church attenders.

- One survey of nearly 14,000 youths found that substance abuse varied in direct proportion to strength of religious commitment. The authors concluded that 'importance of religion' was the single best predictor of substance abuse patterns.

- Several studies have found that alcohol abuse is highest among those with little or no religious commitment.

- Religious people recover from surgery more quickly than do their atheistic and agnostic counterparts.

- A number of studies have found a strong inverse correlation between church attendance and divorce.

- A 1978 study found that church attendance predicted marital satisfaction better than any other single variable.

- Very religious women report greater happiness and satisfaction with marital sex.

In short, the burden of both clinical experience and the research data suggests that among the most important determinants of human happiness and psychological well-being are our spiritual beliefs and moral choices." - God: The Evidence, by Patrick Glynn
