It should be noted that the gas and electrical distribution and transmission networks present a fantastic example of a regulatory framework for natural monopolies.

Actually you're mixing up the use of "theory" and "hypothesis" as it exists in science.

Creationism is an hypothesis currently unsupported by the scientific evidence.
Evolution is a hypothesis that is currently supported by scientific evidence and hence a theory.

The Theory of Evolution does not currently describe the critical "start point" of life - the Catholic Church, for example, generally accepts the Theory of Evolution but points to God as the initiator of the original "spark" of life.

To those espousing creationism because a book people wrote many years ago states God did X, how can you rule out what God can and cannot use when it comes to achieving His (or Her depending on faith - and plural for polytheistic faiths) desired outcomes?

Welcome to the world of *progressive enhancement* as a design philosophy.

Enhance the UX with each additional layer of support for new technologies.

It *shouldn't* be any different with Flash, but very few sites use flash as the enhancement layer and not the complete app layer.

Remember, the web is not a movie.

Agreed.

We saw how well Java went for "write once, run anywhere" approaches.

So you can have an equal-or-better experience during development, test, build and deploy without once touching a technology from Adobe (source code or otherwise) in the world of Flash?
