for which the Lake of Fire is suitable punishment;

Better that than the "Fecal Fountain"...., or the most dreaded punishment of all: "non-stop Oprah shows for eternity"

[VadeRetro]

I think he meant to say, "Intelligence does not come naturally to creationists."

[b_sharp]

"I hear Ebonics is easy to learn - just listen to Gangsta Rap.

Can't do that. I promised myself I would only listen to music. If I want crap I'll find a pig barn to clean out.

[b_sharp]

"Intelligence is not natural.

And your evidence of that would be?

[b_sharp]

You just made that up.

[Ichneumon]

Intelligence is not natural.

Mine is.

[PatrickHenry]

[The Lake of Fire] Better that than the "Fecal Fountain"....

Ah yes, the ultimate punishment -- the dreaded Fecal Fountain of Fate.

[PatrickHenry]

By popular demand, I've added a few entries to The List-O-Links. That link takes you directly to THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON CREATIONISM.

[Quark2005]

In all fairness, whatever else he/she may have said, it looks to me like etlib's comment about "angels pushing the planets around" was taken a bit out of context, IMHO...

[PatrickHenry]

You may be right. His homepage says: "Cal Berkeley Graduate (Physics)"

I've looked over some of his other posts. It appears that I acted in haste. I'm going to remove the link.

[RogueIsland]

I think you missed this one in your list:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1323091/posts?page=92#92

"Instead, it is the homo perverts, the free love porn stars, the all-highways-are-open sexual license grantors that use 'evolution' as a substrate for justifying their behavior - and worse, preaching it"

You know those porn stars, always going off with phylogenetic analysis critiques at the least opportune time.

[PatrickHenry]

Yeah, it's a goodie, but I've already got two others by the same poster. That's more than enough.

[bondserv]

Intelligence is not natural.

"Of course it is."

"What would make you say that?"

"And your evidence of that would be?"

"Skipping Vade's comment"

"Mine is."

Again, I submit to you the obvious: SETI

[js1138]

What does SETI have toi do with whether intelligence is natural or not. we have an enormous graded set of variations in intelligence in living things on earth.

[b_sharp]

You are conflating the product of an intelligence, which does not have to abide by the patterns in nature but can mix-n-match their own patterns with nature's, with the emergence of intelligence from natural causes.

Either that or you are just equivocating for purpose.

[donh]

Again, I submit to you the obvious: SETI

OK, I'll bite, it what manner does SETI suggest that intelligence is not natural?

[MineralMan]

"Your irrelevant analogies notwithstanding, ID wether there are the dreaded Creatists in their midsts or not, deserves airing. "

I see...well...not really. What are Creatists? I know what a wether is, but what does a castrated sheep have to do with this discussion?

[VadeRetro]

What are Creatists?

Weight trainers, mostly, who use creatine.

[King Prout]

yep.
jealous?

[King Prout]

quatrocentennial prime!
