Just inspired by the picture of the many-winged dragonfly, it reminded me of the old (unsuccessful, pre-Wright Brothers) airplanes.

Cheers!

LOL! Perhaps next time an evo has a specific question about creation, we should just refer them to an entire creation science website!

Ah, the much respected “Joe’s Gems” repository. If you need a gem, think Joe’s Gems. Apparently when Joe isn’t busy creating his website for his gem store, he is reviewing dinosaur books.

What exactly do a bunch of book reviews have to do with anything?

You know what I think? I think you googled “help i ned to no if teh dinosours ate well” and that is what came up...and since it looked like an imposing bunch of information, you tried to just throw it out there without actually even understanding what it was.

So once again...what do a bunch of book reviews have to do with anything?

For all the years the term has been used as an abbreviation for EVOlutionist, as you well know, all of a sudden, evos are taking exception to the term and acting like they’ve gone brain dead and don’t know what it means and that it’s an insult instead of a descriptive term.

So, as I’ve asked before and not received an answer, exactly what is it that supporters of evolution would prefer to be called?

They don’t like Darwinists. Won’t accept IDers.
Dawkinsists, maybe? Natural selectionists? Materialists? Anti-God-ists?

That’s why I said the rank and file. Joe Sixpack. Evos themselves are Marxists, in my opinion, and their goal is to destroy or discredit religion.

From your link.....

2003. Acrylic on stretched canvas. 18"x24".

A split second after launching itself from a tree, a tiny dromaeosaur named Microraptor gui begins spreading its feathered limbs. Whether or not it is an evolutionary "missing link" between dinosaurs and birds, one thing is fairly certain: it could glide through the air like a flying squirrel.

Whether or not? Fairly certain?

A painting? Is this the best we can expect in support of the ToE?

And we should accept the ToE as a fact for what reason?

Maybe they would prefer *Marxists* to *evos* (which they had been called for years before they decided to get their panties in a wad over it)

"Crick and Orgel wrote in their book 'Life Itself,' "an honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going."

Crick is one of my scientific heroes. Now I have lots of new leads to pursue, find I'm not alone, and other scientists question it as well, but some of this work may turn out to be outdated.

First I'll have to figure out who came up with that quote, got it from an evolution vs. creationism debate on youtube.

Some FReepers act like you're ignorant if you don't accept evolution unquestioningly which seems to be the dominating thought out there.

It's simply beyond their comprehension that someone could consider the ToE and decide against it.

And dissent is NOT allowed.

So much for objectivity.

So, you’ve been passworded and you decided to set up a new account?

What’d you do to earn that?

So how about that fake dragonfly you evolutionists created? Got anything to say about that or are you just here because the personal religious beliefs of some people threaten you?

By the way...when did you personally determine the age of the Earth? You didn’t you say? You read it in a book? Sounds like you have a lot of faith in something that you only read in a book. Or should I call it your Book?

"Debate on church doctrine and or threads on specific religious matters may be best posted in the religion forum, but the defense of religious freedom, especially against those who wish to deprive us of same belongs front and center on FR..."

I'm calling Bullsh!t. Would you care to explain how this posting is a defense of religious freedom and not a defense of specific church doctrine that Jim Robinson says belongs in the Religion Forum?

"You neglected to ping jim to your assault on his policy."

Actually I was commenting on the abuse of his policy. His words, even as posted by GGG, are very clear and pretty damning of threads like these existing in the News / Activism forum.
