I'm sorry you feel insulted.

[RightWingNilla]

No, I was beautifully and wonderfully made in God's image.

So you look just like God?

[VadeRetro]

You lose the argument.

You wish. Note I provided evidence for my position.

"Oh puleeeze...it is a load of crap, IMHO."

There is nothing humble about thinking that the only knowledge that exists is that which you personally posses. Musical theory is quite real, and I know this from experience. Beethoven was able to write symphonies after going deaf because of his understanding of musical theory.

Dismissing it as 'crap' simply because you're too intellectually lazy to deal with the possibility that there may be things out there that you don't understand is the worst kind of ignorance.

Thank you, PH for a very interesting and informative thread - for a change.

We will just have to agree to disagree but I am still glad I didn't waste my money in college to take that class...:)

[Condorman]

I avoided that class in college because I refused to waste my money on it, which is what I think it is, a bunch of bologna.

So you have no idea what it is, and never took a course in it, and never bothered to educate yourself about it, which uniquely qualifies you to declare it "hogwash."

May I presume you hold similar credentials with respect to evolution?

[Junior]

No, silly! God is a man. She's a woman. She couldn't have been created in God's image.

[yellowdoghunter]

I guess I wasn't clear enough. The class offered nothing useful. I can come up with my own "Music THEORIES" all day long. Why pay to take an expensive class on it?

Yes, in my opinion, it would have been a waste of my time but I understand that some may see it differently.

[atlaw]

I didn't want to say it in exactly those words, but I share the sentiment. They look like something dreamed up by Walt Kelly.

[RightWingNilla]

No thanks. I don't get my reading material from some rock band from way back when,

No, but you get your "science" (LOL) from material written thousands of years ago by desert nomads.

[yellowdoghunter]

I don't know, I have never seen God. I look forward to the day that we meet.

I would never mock Him though.

[PatrickHenry]

... for a change.

Things have been slow.

[yellowdoghunter]

You have your views, I have mine. I guess we will all find out the answer one day.

[jec41]

I see there is still no answer to the complexity of the cell or "molecular machinery"?????? Anyone???

Ya know, when you have to resort to 3rd grade attacks, you have lost the argument.

Well I was discussing evolution not cell research. However, what do the two have in common? What is the complexity? What is molecular machinery? What is a fact? What is a theory? What is the method of science. What is the method of philosophy? Is God a scientific theory, fact, or faith and belief? Have you observed faith and belief as a fact unknown? Anyone?????

[yellowdoghunter]

To me you helped prove my point. It all depends on what you believe.

And since this is America, we are all free to believe as we see fit.
