Darwiner111, D–111, or soon-to-be CrazyInSane[1] (born 11 September, 1988 in Canada) is a 17-year-old student who is an active participant in efforts at abolishing secular attempts to reduce Christian influence from Canadian and/or American culture. His edits are mainly attributed to maintain the ever-so important Wikipedia policy WP:NPOV by promoting a balanced religious/secular viewpoint in various articles.
He explores the cyber-world with his Microsoft Windows XP–based 2003 Compaq Presario computer, which he has owned for 3 years. He can be seen using the computer for informational purposes—he researches alot of information online, and he has been surfing and editing Wikipedia articles since September 2004 (under varying accounts), communication purposes—including chatting with friends using MSN Messenger v. 7.5 service, as well as artistic purposes—whereas he has written approximately 200 unneccesary creative documents, which show an interest in writing. He also owns a mobile phone whereas he texts his friends often, costing a lot of money. Among other interests include alcohol, girls, driving, the movies, and television.
Theistic convictions
On 25 February, 2006 he became a born-again theist due to reading into Near-death experiences; analyzing the verity of their existence and their impact on the affected individuals. Apon analyzing this—and relevant—information, he came to the conclusion that he now believes in the afterlife, as well as the existence of Jesus Christ, God and the Virgin Mary within afterlife realms. He dually notes, however, that his faith in the modern Catholic church and the authenticity of the Bible as the Word of God is somewhat limited.
Below is a list of underlying factors as to why Darwiner111 converted:
- Edgar Cayce's documentation—including future prophecies, human/universe origins, etc.
- Ned Dougherty's prediction of the September 11, 2001 attacks through an NDE, verifyably published in March 2001
- Significant similarities between NDEs—including the apparitions of Jesus, God, and other spirits.
- Conversions from atheism to Christianity/other religion by many experiencers of NDEs
- Explanation of "white light" / "God" as unexplainably blissful by experiencers.
- Self–made theories as to why NDEs cannot be explained by any means other than the existence of the afterlife.

Interests
Darwiner111's interests include, but are not limited to:
The James Bond 007 Franchise (film/gaming)
A series of films produced by Albert Broccoli, Metro-Goldwyn Mayer studios and EON Productions from 1962–present, most being based on the novels by Ian Fleming. Twenty films have already been made with 4 different James Bond actors and the 21st is being released in late 2006. Also, a set of games have been produced in unison with Electronic Arts since 1983. The next game is to feature the likeness of Daniel Craig.
- Cast:
- Daniel Craig—James Bond (2006–present) [Casino Royale—present]
- Pierce Brosnan—James Bond (1995–2006) [GoldenEye—Die Another Day]
- Timothy Dalton—James Bond (1987–1995) [The Living Daylights—License to Kill]
- Roger Moore—James Bond (1973–1987) [Live and Let Die—A View to a Kill]
- George Lazenby—James Bond (1969–1971) [On Her Majesty's Secret Service]

- Desmond Llewelyn—Q (1963–2002) [From Russia with Love—The World Is Not Enough]
- Peter Burton—Q (1962–1963) [Dr. No]
Darwiner111's comments
- He began to love the 007 franchise as soon as he saw the first film, Goldfinger (1964), starring Sean Connery. He watched quite a lot of the pre-1987 James Bond films starring Roger Moore & Sean Connery with his father on cable television in his early years. He of course loved the idea of such an action packed and adventurous film. He would have to say he enjoyed Sean Connery's performance a little more than that of Roger Moore. He never saw any of the movies starring Timothy Dalton or George Lazenby. His favorite Bond actor to date is Pierce Brosnan, who played bond when Darwiner111 was growing up. His favorite Bond film is The World Is Not Enough (1999). He also overly enjoys the games provided by Electronic Arts for his Xbox and formerly owned PlayStation consoles, especially the 2004 release of Everything or Nothing which is the last game to feature the likeness of Pierce Brosnan. Darwiner111 is really quite uneasy about the new cast selection for Bond, Daniel Craig. He feels Brosnan could've continued the role for a while longer, allowing EON Productions to find a better replacement. He is as of now unsure if he will watch Casino Royale.
Christianity (religion)
An Abrahamic religion based on the Holy Scripture, the Christian Bible. This includes the Holy Trinity, including the historical Jesus of Nazareth (1 BC–AD 33, traditional dates).
- Of importance:
- Jesus of Nazareth—the "Christ" (meaning anointed)
- God
- Mary, the mother of Christ
- Christmas—celebrates the birth of Christ (25 December by tradition; 7 January (O.S.))
- Good Friday—emphasizes the crucifixtion of Christ
- Easter—celebrates the resurrection of Christ
Darwiner111's comments:
- His interest in Christianity spawned mostly due to the fact he was exposed to its doctrine from 1988–2002, due to the fact my immediate family participates in the religion. Also, he find it interesting that the religion is under attack by mostly secularists, evident both with notable abolitions of the Christmas holiday, and the so-called 'necessity' to replace anno Domini terminology (AD/BC) with the Christian-neutral common era. The only conclusion he have gathered from these attempts is that there is a very evident discrimination against Christianity, not other religions, in the United States and Europe as well as its Commonwealth countries. As for his religious conviction, he was a Christian from 1998–2002, an agnostic/atheist from 2002–2006, and a spiritual theist from 2006–present.
Saved by the Bell (television)
A 1987 American Situation comedy that was formally released as Good Morning, Miss Bliss with The Disney Channel until 1989 when it was purchased from NBC studios. The series produced such spin-offs as Saved by the Bell: The College Years, Saved by the Bell: The New Class, and Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas.
- Original Cast:
- Dennis Haskins— Mr. Belding (1987–cancelation)
- Mark-Paul Gosselaar—Zack Morris (1987–cancelation)
- Dustin Diamond— Samuel "Screech" Powers (1987–cancelation)
- Lark Voorhies— Lisa Turtle (1987–cancelation)
- Mario Lopez— A.C. Slater (1989–cancelation)
- Tiffani-Amber Thiessen— Kelly Kapowski (1989–1992)
- Elizabeth Berkley— Jessica Myrtle Spano (1989–1992)
- Hayley Mills— Miss Bliss (1987–1989)
Darwiner111's comments:
- His interest in the Saved by the Bell series began somewhat during his early years, whereas he was attracted to the show due to its humor and emphasis on average teenage life. His interests spawned when TBS networking began to air the program with 4 episodes at a time, from 8–10:00AM. Often when Darwiner111 would miss school, or during the summer, he would watch these episodes if awake. The hilarity, suaveness, and dark spirit of Zack Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) had him quite interested. As for his feelings on the spin-offs, his favorite is the longest running original run, which was aired from 1989–1993 and included cast members Jessie Spano and Kelly Kapowski. He also likes Good Morning, Miss Bliss (re-named under the "Saved by the Bell" franchise) whereas only Zack, Lisa, Screech, and two other kids are cast. He also loves the character of Miss Bliss. He does, however, dislike the Saved by the Bell: The College Years, and his dislike appeared to have been shared due to the premature cancelation of this version.

Darwiner111's comments:
- His interest in the 1971 adaptation spawned my interest in the original book, however he enjoys the 1971 adaptation's altered storyline more than this version.

Darwiner111's comments:
- One of his main interests, aside from promoting Christian culture. He enjoys the music, especially the song Pure Imagination, originally sung by Gene Wilder, and redone by several artists since 1971. (Mariah Carey, Maroon 5, Sammy Davis, etc.). He also is excited by the psychadelic vibe from the film.
A 2005 Non musical film directed by Timothy Burton and written by John August. Starring Johnny Depp and Missi Pyle, it is also based on the 1964 book by Roald Dahl. All associated with the film and it's production continue to assess the fact that the production of this film is in no way connected with the original 1971 musical film.
- Credited cast:
- Johnny Depp—Willy Wonka
- Freddie Highmore—Charlie Bucket
- Jordan Fry—Mike Teevee
- Julia Winter—Veruca Salt
- Missi Pyle—Mrs. Beauregarde
- AnnaSophia Robb—Violet Beauregarde
- Deep Roy—Oompa Loompa
Darwiner111's comments:
- Though he did mildly enjoy this film, he associates with it major negative connotations. This is due to the fact Tim Burton directed the film, that all associated with it dislike the original film, and the way Wonka is portrayed by Depp is eerily discomforting. However, interest in the film is mostly due to it's similarities with the 1971 original, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
