The *big bang* confirms the Bible's declaration of *In the beginning....*

Remember? You posted that drivel before and I tore it apart?

Please, MetMom, remember our earlier conversations. I get tired of repeating myself. Thank you.

Why do you call it simple and childish just because it’s concise?

But I have also noticed that you have a good heart, and I am pleased to regard you as a friend.

Buwhahahahahaha! Little did you know, I am... SUPER TROLL! :-)

Please read posts 28, 49, 50, 52 and 54 again.

Coyote really *did* take it upon himself to tell another poster to stop posting; and when rebuked by JR in 52, replies in 54:

If you would rather keep those fringe posters, and discourage the scientists from posting here, then fringe posters is what you''ll end up with.

But JR in 52 didn't discourage Coyote from posting: he told Coyote to stop discouraging *others* from posting.

Cheers!

Because "childish" and "concise" have different meanings.

So science doesn’t teach that the universe had a beginning?

The big bang had nothing to do with it?

Creationism isn’t exclusive to Christiainity, (God knows we’ve seen Christians equated with militant Islam enough on these threads) nor do Christians universally subscribe to a single creation doctrine (which begs the question are they reading their Bibles and do they truly understand what they read?).

Christianity has a place in public education, (but by the end of these next 4 years, I’m not sure it’ll be “legal” to tell your teacher Merry Christmas) along with other religions as philosophy, (purple spaghetti monsters, heaven’s gate...you see in the liberal world all religions are equally valid, and who are we to judge someone’s religion, in fact, we should just abolish the word cult! precisely what the founding fathers MUST have meant...envisioning a beaming bust of Marshall Applewhite on Mt. Rushmore) where IMHO, it proves to be head and shoulders above the other religions of the world. (Soooo we must need much much less of it in all public places!... yeah, that’s the ticket!)

(In the liberal world up is down, and down is up.)

But it is not science.

(So let’s make sure we stomp that out against the people’s will while giving anything and eveything else a complete free pass, from algoreacles hot air cult to multiverse theory. Oh and nevermind that which people agree upon is or isn’t science today or tomorrow, it’s irrelevant, just as long as I don’t have to be bothered with ANYTHING whatsoever that has to do with God, it’s not science.)

NO, no you've got it all wrong.

She was re-enacting the Big Bang -- which happened when God foresaw the 2008 election, and banged His head on *His* desk...

Sorry to bring up Obama again.

Cheers!

Well said and speaking of hate crimes...it’s a matter of time before prop 8 is tossed, so much for govt of the people by the people and for the people...and if you don’t submit you’ll be labeled a homophobe and arrested for hate crimes.

We simply know too much to teach the Creation story as fact.

Next assignment for you.

Parse the philosophical *assumptions* required to make that statement.

Cheers!

“I see which side of the culture war you’re on.”

Too bad he doesn’t. Unless there’s some sort of enlightenment he never will either.

Creationism, since it is based on the Christian Bible, doesn’t have a place in the public school system. The public school system, which must educate children of parents who belong to many different faiths and none at all, must remain neutral.


Who taught you this?

Lemme guess...the public school system!

Keep hanging around FR kid. As if your very life depended on it!

”You don’t “ping” someone who’s already here.”

Well, I guess you needed to correct me on something. Glad you found it.


I wouldn’t give him that...I’ve pinged metmom to long threads she’s been on, and I don’t dig through pages to find out.

Build a wall between Church and State that would make an illegal alien have a heart attack.

Why, not how...? And is it a rigid wall or a semi-permeable membrane? Otherwise, you run into the government refusing funding for a crucifix, since it endorses religion, but in the guise of neutrality, funding 'art' of a crucifix in urine or the Virgin Mary in dung.

The very opposite of neutral, another example of government regulations causing the very opposite of what it ostensibly prevents. Shades of St. Paul and "the evil I do not want, that is the very thing I do." Curiouser and curiouser.

Just try *applying* for funding for that kind of art funding for a photo of JFK getting his head blown off put into a jar of urine, or Mohammed covered with animal feces, and count the femtoseconds until a Federal Swat team is at your door...Why is it only explicitly Christian symbols being defiled is called art, but all other subjects make it a Hate Crime?

I fully support private and religious schools and homeschooling. The public school, however, must remain neutral.

Ducking the question -- by phrasing it this way, you are implicitly giving approval to the pervasiveness of government-funded, government controlled schools, with government-approved curricula.

What is so "small government" about that?

Cheers!

ZOT!

"He's dead, Jim."

I think this is all that's left of him (from his own post):

Cheers!

The only thing you’ve been tearing apart is yourself. You really should revisit Jim Robinson’s posts.

Wonder which 'gay' will become the image for a national holy day. There is one thing about these 'days' there is NOT enough pie on the plate for all the animals to have their share. The really big fight is going to happen within their created scientific methodology, once the lessor animals figure out who got bailed out first and by design most fit for survival gets the lion's share of the spoils.

I am not sure where the dollar amount is now, but last I read it was $500 checks to stimuli these less fit, and there would be more return on 'government' investment with increase in food stamps and unemployment benefits.... What will they do when the animals want what was promised? Build taller walls to protect the 'most fit'?

Well, how about this for a concept? What came before the Big Bang?
How about the Big Crevo Discussion?
And it went on and on for a timeless period, because time didn't exist yet, back and forth, up and down, yin struggling with yang until ....
