"My remarks stand"...that's stupid and ossified.

His response was funny and on the mark, but I can understand your not liking it.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"Might has never made right."

Creationists constitute a tiny, tiny part of the scientific community. It's not like their making much ground either. :)

BTW, the seventh name on the list, Thomas Barnes, didn't have a doctorate in science as the list says. His doctorate was honorary. That's just the seventh one on the list mind you. :)

[andysandmikesmom]

You understand nothing about me, thats obvious....your ignorance about other people appears to keep you happy...that says quite a bit about you and its not a nice picture...but you are happy with it, and I am so happy for you...

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"His response was funny and on the mark, but I can understand your not liking it."

In order for something to be funny, it needs to have a basis in fact. His post had none. It did have a more, shall we say, chemical basis though. :)

No problameo!

Apparently, it is. Where is your proof that I'm a liar? I see no proof, just an obnoxious repeat of the original slander.

Here is where YOU started it!!! (I let you slide on the S&M thing)

Well, of course you did. Thru the careful selection of your biblical postings, you have clearly shown that the (S&M thing) was on target to the extent that I could easily show it's accuracy in a court of law, if you unwisely chose to pursue a court claim of slander.

Being wrong about your expressed convictions (which I'm probably not) is not slander, calling me a liar in big red type is.

You have publicly called me a liar with inadequate evidence, as you have just plainly demonstrated.

[Quark2005]

You are wrong...I'm not suprised. Many many scientists doubt evolution...the most absurd theory to have lasted this long.

The list in your link says it welcomes the names of scientists the both acknowledge and deny evolution. Here's a list of 600+ scientists named Steve that acknowledge the science behind evolution - maybe these should be submitted to be added to better represent the truth. Considering that this list takes only scientists named Steve (or Stephanie), it kind of trivializes the list you showed, doesn't it?

Also, a 1997 Gallup Poll shows the truth - scientists are nearly unanimous in support of evolutionary theory.

it's been "nice" chatting with such an old meanie!

[andysandmikesmom]

"Meanie" yourself...(now we both sound like two kindergarden children)...

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"(now we both sound like two kindergarten children)"

Nah. Kindergartners say more sophisticated things like *poopyhead!* and *banana brain!*. At least according to my niece... :)

Great names to call someone....'Poop', always makes its way into name calling festivals...

[Ken H]

Sorry if that ain't what you WANT to hear, but that's what I said.

Apology accepted, but I wanted to hear your point, after quoting scripture about Jews melting as in a furnace by the hand of the Lord, in bringing up Nazi furnaces.

________________________________

Me: Were the Nazis doing the Lord's work in melting those Jews (who you say are going to Hell)?

You tell me if the Pharoh & the EGYPTIANS (No, not a rock band) were 'doing HIS work',

Is that a "yes" or a "no", as to whether the Nazis were doing the Lord's work, in your opinion?

______________________________

Sorry again,

Apology accepted.

but it isn't I that says 'they are going to hell:

Did you forget this exchange:

Me: Are Jews who died without accepting Christ doomed to Hell?

Elsie: Yes

Did someone else type that response?

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"Great names to call someone....'Poop', always makes its way into name calling festivals..."

Well, my little niece knows how to make up great names. lol *Meat-face!* is another special one. Of course, I do call her my little maniac monkey. :)

[andysandmikesmom]

My two boys were never much on inventing names to call someone...usually they just called each other 'butt-face'...

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"My two boys were never much on inventing names to call someone...usually they just called each other 'butt-face'..."

My niece hasn't advanced to that yet. At just 6, it's really mostly about poopy...in all of it's wonderful permutations. My sister and her husband really don't cuss, and she doesn't watch that type of stuff on TV, so her vocabulary is luckily still PG-rated. My brother and his wife are unfortunately less careful with their words around my two little nephews (4 and almost 6); I am just waiting for a 4-letter outburst to come from one of them anytime now. lol

The point that you miss is that it is clear that if the outside diameter was 10 cubits, the inside circumference would be almost exactly 30 cubits.

Additionally a cubit is hardly an exact measurement. Quite frankly if two people with different arm lengths measured the bowl, a short armed carpenter measuring the diameter and a long armed man measuring the circumference, then if the short armed man's arm was exactly 95.49% as long as the other carpenter's arm, then the measurments would be exact. IOW if one carpenter's arm was 18 inches from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger and the other carpenter's arm was 17.189 inches from elbow to the tip of his middle finger, then the measurements would be correct.

Regardless there is simply no way of using this verse to show that the Bible is unreliable.

If that is your purpose then you have failed.

[andysandmikesmom]

And if and when that outburst comes, it will come at the most inopportune time...like, when sitting in church...

That reminds me of that scene in A Christmas Story, when Ralphie lets go with the 'F' word, while helping his dad change the flat tire...and then his mom wants to know where in the world he learned that language(she, of course, would never admit he learned it from his dad, who used that word several times a day)...kids are like sponges, they soak up everything you say and do, and then wham...they let go, and embarrass the parents...its all part of the game...

Regardless there is simply no way of using this verse to show that the Bible is unreliable.

And yet, the Indiana legislature tried to make pi=3 by law. Out of respect for the biblical measure. And now, there have been legal attempts to demolish evolutionary theory in science class, all due to biblical in-errancy. Forgive me if I am unpersuaded that there's no tangible concern here.

[P-Marlowe]

And yet, the Indiana legislature tried to make pi=3 by law.

LOL!!! What a crock!!!

You've just discredited your entire cause here, don.

Hey everyone, it looks like we have a documented "evo" "LIAR" confirmed here!

BTW the official rumor was that it was Alabama.

LOL!
