Appliance of science

Science has given the world many wonderful things; reanimated corpses, a theme park full of dinosaurs, matter transporters and the warp drive.  Of course, science's insistence that the Bible isn't true will hinder it from ever going mainstream, but we can cherry-pick the most useful/enjoyable bits.

And today we did just that when we enjoyed ice cream made with liquid nitrogen!  Nitrogen is something you can't see, like germs or angels, but if you make it very very cold it turns into a liquid, by a process known as "magic".  Add this liquid to a ton of unhealthy ingredients and you can create one of the foundations of human civilisation: ice cream.

This is exactly what Creamistry does here in Houston!  We visited under the pretext that Pete had worked really hard at school, or helped at home, or something.  Mmm-mmm!  There was a sign explaining it's about the cream freezing into smaller crystals that makes it deliciously smooth, etc.  If you need science to prop up your worldview then who am I to judge?  Me, I'm just going to sit here and stuff my face with the ice cream they serve in heaven.


The difficult decision of what to order.  The Quantum Coffee?  The Elemint?  The Chocolate Combustion?  Stop blinding me with menu choice!


Anticipation.


Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.


What could be better than great ice cream?  Great ice cream that makes clouds you can touch!  So much wow.


And there are still people who claim God doesn't exist!


Birthday cake ice cream with sprinkles.  Make sure you have a good week at school next week, Pete, otherwise we'll have to come up with a different excuse to visit here...
