That is funny (LOL) but I really do try to avoid words like "stupid" on these threads.
But since I didn't say it I get to laugh.
Debating over the 'definition' of *universe* still doesn't answer the question of whether or not it could have created itself.
Do you see the irony?
Glad to hear that. And I might add it sounds wonderful.
It was a followup. But if you want to exit the personal, feel free to answer my #238.
Obviously. It's evidence that if you go back far enough, the snakes' ancestors had actual functional legs.
How does a duckbill platypus have a bill and lay eggs. It seems reasonable to decide that a duckbill platypus is a transitional form between a bird and a mammal. Except I have been assured from my high-school biology on to the present day that no biologist considers it so. It's just a mammal that has a duck's bill and lays eggs.
It's roughly the same shpe as a duck's bill, but anatomically it's quite different - for one thing its an electrosnsory organ. The platypus is actually a mammal that retains some reptilian features (like the reptile-like, as opposed to bird-like eggs, and many details of its skeletal structure)
Check this out Oolon Colluphid's Guide to Creation. Follow the links to find many examples of things like snake legs: platypus teeth (which never erupt), baleen whale teeth (which are reabsorsbed before birth), marsupial egg teeth (which are never used), etc etc
Well, he said that the theory was far too complicated for HIM to understand, so it had to be false.
I guess nuclear energy is a complete hoax, then. :)
I would encourage them to discuss it as I encouraged and taught my employees how to become better informed in their chosen field. And I did it absent condescension and hubris.
LOL.
Does anyone know where to look and what to look for? Also, newly-emerging proto life would most likely be eaten by bacteria.
Actually, I remember studying Pasteur's experiment (scientific experiment, no less) that proved it doesn't happen.
That is quite absurd. Pasteur showed that bacteria, molds, etc, don't form in chicken broth, milk, etc, under sterile conditions. He showed absolutely nothing about, say, sea water circulating thorough volcanic "chimneys" with pyrite surface chemistry.
No, it was you being a nasty little sh6t which is OKAY except you then go on to whine about tone. Very unbecoming an adult of any political persuasion.
There was no condescension. YOU were the one who came out with the crack about "the gifted ones." You were politely answered about increasing your education. Your response was to provide your CV.
Coyoteman and I both said pretty much the same thing. And now you are saying the same thing back.
So, what do you think about 2VL versus 3VL? I have strong thoughts on the subject but I would like to hear what you have to say.
This is not strictly true. Great Danes and chihuahuas cannot mate, so in isolation they have to be considered separate species. Doemstic dogs and wolves form a ring species.
Volcanic "chimneys" with pyrite surface chemistry?
Ah but they have looked there. Alas no proto life.
Another area in Genesis where the Bible writers got it right. The curse God put on the serpent was that it was to crawl on it's belly. Obviously it had legs before that and lost them.
An area where they perhaps got it wrong? You don't get much from eating apples...
Wrong again dumbdumb. Coyoteman was distresses at the hoi polloi offering opinions about science on a political website dedicated to conservatives of all stripes. Mucho condescension. And you agreed with him. And now I'm taking you to task over it.
And I won't be discussing boolean logic with you at all until I see some bona fides. And truth be known probably not even after I see your bona fides since the topic bores me to death. Judging by your ineptness at relating the truth however I suspect I won't be hearing them any time soon.
Sorry, not correct. You have not characterized my posts accurately.
I encourage everyone to learn; I spend a lot of time studying, and I think everyone should do so as well.
What I will criticize on these threads are opinions offered with no support, and no study, behind them.
freedumb2003: Give 3 examples ;)
Don't forget to compare and contrast.
It's interesting that people will make a great show of the importance of rationality, then toss out such absurdities as: things can't create themselves (except for the invisible pink unicorn, which has always existed and which created everything else).
