Else where and back to verifying scripture again eh? Well, all my pumkins are carved and lit, after that workout I think the muscle in my right arm has evolved bigger than my left. The candy is piled high to give out, I'll just go recline in my lawn chair and watch for little goblins. It's been a nice, civil chat, thanks.

Not a single email about abuse. You know what that tells me? It tells me that there was never a reason for all the crap that usually goes on in these threads.
It tells me "when the cat's away the mice will play"!

It tells me that a watched pot never boils.

I promised myself I wouldn't post to you again, gore,

Methinks I wish you had kept to your resolution. Somehow I had not missed your posts.

f.christian has not stopped, ever, calling everyone he disagrees with a nazi, socialist, athiest, liberal, etc.

Has it occurred to you that perhaps he is correct? Has it occurred to you that perhaps those he calls nazis are nazis, that those he calls socialists are socialists, that those he calls atheists are atheists, and that those he calls liberals are liberals?

The truth should always be told and if it is to be silenced just because those who are being called on the carpet do not like it, then you are trying to silence the truth. OJ is a murderer, whether he was convicted of it or not and calling him a murder is not an insult but a statement of fact. When you can provide proof that his accusations are false, I may entertain listening to them.

However, since all I see from you is a Clintonite type tactic of accusing someone of being politically incorrect in calling a spade a spade, it makes me think more highly of f.christians posts than before you made these remarks.

Yes, photosynthetic bacteria. Light goes through ice.

Nope. The oceans are one. Life could not exist for hundreds of millions of years without light. We are not talking of a piece (a large piece, but nevertheless a piece) of the ocean being covered with ice, we are speaking of the whole earth being covered with ice. So yes it is impossible. And no, there is no light under the deep antartic ice.

So you support the establishment of a global socialist bureaucratic order to "prevent global warming"?? That is what it is really all about, you know.

Yes, that is what the global warming crowd is about. It should also be noted that some 30 years ago the threat was global cooling.

As to your statements about the cooling, they are true. We know there was a fairly large population in Greenland that was farming and living as in warmer climes. The evidence is undeniable.

Has it ever occurred to you (or him) that they aren't?

Or have you ever really cared about the truth?

Nice to see you. By the way, one of the words for "a stranger passing through" is "quidam".

Thank you very much and God bless. I will now become, once again, a "quidam".

Melanocyrillium, 850-million year old "testate amoeba."

You really have to learn to read. I said:

And do not talk to me about chemosynthesis, because the life that existed before the Cambrian was photosynthetic bacteria.

There was photosynthetic bacteria before the Cambrian - as I said. Your posting does not refute that, and indeed it cannot be refuted because it is true. Such bacteria could not have survived for hundreds of millions of years in an ice covered world. So stop misrepresenting my statements and stop evading the point. SciAm has turned to nothing more than a joke under its evolutionist editor and the article you refer to is total nonsense - and totally dishonest since any scientist should have seen the problem with it.

Actually, the worst thing about us evos is not only are we nazis, socialists, atheists, and liberals, but we don't discuss the science but rather just slime people who disagree with us.

Eukaryotic animals. The testate amoeba shown apparently reproduced sexually.

The current (November) issue of SciAm has an article that favors gore's position on introns.

The link says nothing substantial, it does not even mention introns. One would have to read the whole article to see what it says. Your claimed evidence is therefore just not there - as is usual with evolutionist links - they do not say what the poster claims they say.

If God created life the evolutionist assumption that all change is due solely to materialistic forces cannot be sustained.-me-

That is not an assumption of evolution.

Totally false and you know it. The 'force' of evolution is so called natural selection. That is the mechanistic replacement for God which is central to evolutionary theory. Nowhere does evolution claim that God did anything. It claims that the creation of species was accomplished gradually by natural selection. That the Cambrian creatures were created directly refutes evolution since the claim of evolution is universal. In addition to which as I said, if God created life there is no way that evolutionists can deny that God created man in His own image instead of in the image of an ape as Darwin and evolutionists claim. The Creator cannot be said to be a force that does not exist and could not have accomplished changes in His creation. So yes, evolution is both materialistic and atheistic.

God no more figures in the theory of evolution than he figures in the theory of relativity. So, if the theory of relativity is a 'Godless' theory, then by your idiotic 'logic' modern physics is atheistic.
