Yah and what about this global warming farce!

i yi yi. You can’t really say the naysayers against evolution are against science itself only evolution …………

However those in the global warming / green complex are making war upon the scientific method of questioning everything. And that is MUCH worse.

@Over the Edge
‘holy text explosion batman!’ I’m stealing that. That’s pure genius.

Excellent documentary cheers TDF and all involved!

I’d just like to add if there was an intelligent creator he/she must have been a civil servant.

Who else would put the waste outlet in the middle of the pleasure complex?

The clean up was necessary. I wish you all have Happy New 2012. Am I too late with this greeting?

@Mistymoo, for the past two days I’m deleting your CAPS LOCK comments all over the site. Now you’re fighting here. Maybe it’s not only your fault, but please read the Comment Policy and behave.

@robertallen1, I like you, and I agree with you almost all the time, but you might want to try to tone down your comments a little bit.

@Everyone Else (@Az excluded), keep it civil.

Yes, the conversation turned into pointless trolling, far off topic.

Now where were we?

I gave up on biology a long time ago. If you intelligent designers are really looking for proof, you need to examine the very fundamentals of matter. Biology is basically the “social science” of the natural sciences. Everything and anything within it can be explained by increasingly natural fields. There is no evidence that directly points to God here. You are fighting a losing battle, go read something besides your Bible, please. Maybe you will avoid such a tremendous embarrassment every time you decide to open your mouth.

@robertallen1,

Oh Gosh! What a mess it became here!

As bad as the religion topics.

What do I do when I realise that a handbook of a given technic is full of “Boasting”, lies of aberrations? I quit and go relax at home…

If if happened once, once is one time too many for perfection.
If facts are that obvious, why torture peoples into beliefs?

I may have to stop the TDF emailed comments for a while.
Bad thing that we can refuse comments from only one single docu at a time! Geeezzus!

Pierre.

Correct. Darwin never stated that there is no god. Atheism was merely a donkey’s tail that his enemies tacked on to him and which for the ignorant remains tacked on.

Correct again about evolution which has nothing to do with how man acquired what we consider reason.

And were more people to read at least some of Darwin before commenting on him and evolution, this thread would have fewer ignorant, idiotic posts.

Bwarff! Stopped viewing it. Anyhow, at any moment in the evolution of humankind, some, anything may have been necessary to be given to homosapiens to acquire reasoning.

Therefore, Darwin could already had this in mind at the time he set his principles. Did he ever squarely state that there is no God?
Evolution principles don’t mean that no God ever seeded human being with reason?

Dante proved that hell is for the intelligent–and may even have wound up there.

And speaking of hell, if it has not been done already, why not chronicle its history, for, as I’m sure you know, the whole concept has changed through the ages just as the concept of Satan who was originally the accuser. I thank you for the inspiration (a religious term from the Latin “spirare” to breath in as in the breath of you know who (or what)).

holy text explosion batman. i don’t see what the big deal is. so Robert doesn’t hold back and says what is on his mind. his tone might scare some off or rub some the wrong way but all i care about is if someone is right and can back it up. i have been told i am going to hell many times on this site and if you think about that it is probably the worst thing a religious person can wish on another (in their mind). look if someone wants to be treated with respect i have an idea. when debating with others use logic, provide evidence for your argument back up assertions with facts and if a statement is an assumption or opinion state it that way, don’t answer a question with a question or bring up non related topics. see if that helps

And as part of our mutual admiration society, I really enjoy your posts and I apologize for not having told you this earlier. It’s obvious that your scientific background by far eclipses mine and therefore I relish the information you provide.

By the way, what’s your math background like?

Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants and several leopards.

“The strange thing is we haven’t recorded any dead animals,” H.D. Ratnayake, deputy director of the national Wildlife Department, told Reuters on Wednesday.

“No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit,” he added. “I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening.”

The thing you don’t seem to realize is that not only the person to whom you are answering is reading your posts….thousands are and instead of fueling your frustration on those you consider stupido, a smarter comment would fuel the knowledge and openess of thousands.
Instead of harrassing every one about their English writing skill, impress us with yours…much more pleasant for the crowd since you are one of our best with “la plume”.
I may give you the impression that i dislike you…i don’t …i dislike your arrogance…not the content of your knowlwedge.

Here is a very good exemple of what you suggest to Robertallen. It works great for both parties, you get to explain the way a teacher would and …how is Anthony to answer that other than by reading and searching and perhaps admit that it was his turn to learn something! It doesn’t mean that “everything” Anthony has to say is wrong, on different subject he may be knowledgeable when you are not.

This world is full of misinformation fuelled by the fact that we are constantly in contact with people who give and share ideas. If every one was university educated for years and years…not many people would be working.
I have been reading all your posts, the main quality i see in all of them is that they are informative instead of being intimidating.

lol you are right, its rhetoric and tact.

but if you look at my very early posts they are a lot less friendly. it made a lot of people butthurt.

but on days when im grumpy it sure is a great form of catharsis, i just promised Az some time ago that i would try to be nicer.
