If you missed the reply, it was Transformation, something I missed, and Transfection.

Obviously someone doing a quick google lookup, grabbing the first entry, and failing to realize it didn't answer your question.

[Doctor Stochastic]

Did Sedna also carry a salt cellar?

[Right Wing Professor]

something I missed

Transduction.

Of course, the correct answer was transsexual, transvestite, and Transylvania.

If there's one thing I enjoy about these threads, it's the straw men attacks.

Oh, so I should have said chimpanzee instead?

So you're the son of god?

I'm a child of God, yes.

Wouldn't make you the Messiah?

You want to know, read the bible.

[connectthedots]

And yet people keep holding up the bible as some sort of science book...

the truth of the Bible is certainly supported to a far greater degree than any other ancient text, by archeology and by bothe sacred and secular historians. It was also written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit over many hundreds of years by many authors; and is both internally and externally consistent in all that is contained therein.

Name another such work that even remotely approaches the reliability of the Bible. The only on I can think of that any group mentions is the LDS and the Book of Mormon, which was allegedly translated by one man and was so poorly written that over 3000 substantive changes have been made ove the last one and one-haf centuries.

I know of no one who holds up the Bible as a science book, but there is nothing in science that is inconsistent with the Bible.

In adition, not all 'science books' contain good science.

[js1138]

I knew that. I learned all my biology at the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

[js1138]

Name another such work that even remotely approaches the reliability of the Bible.

Almost anything written as history by the Greeks or Chinese or Egyptians.

[Right Wing Professor]

If it's pre-verted, you evilootionists will be familyar with it, fer shure.

[ahayes]

lol! A mod deleted the reply? I definitely agree mistaking transformation or transfection with DNA sequence change deserves deletion, but I wouldn't have expected the mods to agree.

[blowfish]

but there is nothing in science that is inconsistent with the Bible.

I'll assume you're joking here...

[<1/1,000,000th%]

This thread looks like the Western Front in The Great War.

[PatrickHenry]

The Iliad is remarkably reliable. The geography, the nations involved, the military tactics and equipment, etc.

[Senator Bedfellow]

So you're saying that if only rose tinted Erica's world, she'd still be with us? Seeing as how that keeps you safe from trouble and pain and all...

[js1138]

At first I thought the poster had requested the deletion to avoid embarrassment. Then I realized she was nuked. I wonder what her former freeper name was?

[ahayes]

Yeah, I was just wondering about that. It must be the return of a bannee because so far I hadn't seen her post anything bannable.

[Right Wing Professor]

Give me a break! The Bible can't even get the genealogy of Jesus straight. There are three mutually inconsistent versions of it!

[ahayes]

Above her, the cold waters formed a crust of ice and sealed Sedna in her wintry, watery world. She still lives there, and whenever the Inuit are short of food, they call on Sedna and she provides it, even in the depths of winter.

That's a wonder. If my parents dropped me in the ocean and cut off my fingers and then their descendant tried to bug me for food, I'd tell them to go jump. :-D

[ahayes]

Which one is the third?

[Right Wing Professor]

Genesis, Matthew, and Luke.

[js1138]

I was going to give her credit for actually trying to make an argument.

Maybe we could ask the mods to swap her for a more completely useless troll.
