About Me
Well, I'm a student and I am participating in the WikiProject AP Biology 2010. This is my first ever Wikipedia account. I have only used Wikipedia as a resource before this and never edited it. I hope that what I do will improve upon Wikipedia.

Casual
My casual interests are easily defined as three things: Reading books, playing videogames, and watching anime. I enjoy science fiction and fantasy books, action/adventure/FPS games, and action-ridden anime.

Academic
My academic interests are biological sciences, with an emphasis on marine biology. I am also quite intrigued with subatomic particles, and I would like to find out what quantum mechanics is all about.

Opinions/Philosophy/ToE
Well...where to begin? I am not a big fan of all of the organized religions I am aware of. However, I do accept the idea of higher powers and life after death. I put a lot of faith in the many-worlds theory, or rather my own personal version of it. I like to think that there are uncountable amounts of possible universes that are happening, will happen, and have happened. When I think of the multiverse, I think of it as a huge spiral, with many smaller curlicues shooting off from it, and yet more from there and so on. This also made me think that there is probably one origin universe.

Anyway, back to ours. I think it is selfish of humans to believe that life can only exist where there is water. Sure, it worked on earth, but that doesn't mean it has to work everywhere. There could be a planet somewhere just like ours, except that they drink liquid nitrogen to survive. I don't like it when people complain that they're not smart. If I can get 100% on a test, then so can any other healthy student. I also think that video-games are an under-developed resource for teaching. How cool would math class be if you had to shoot the correct answer?

I do not believe that global warming is caused by humans. I think that the planet is going through a normal warming cycle. I think that evolution could have been started by a higher power, be it a god or some ancient life-form cultivating race. I also believe that us humans should start getting along better before something really bad happens. I thought of this quote and it sums it up nicely: "The last, best hope of mankind is most likely the first, worst fear of everything else."
