Why aren't Darwinists happier people? Probably because they see no value in human life since they consider it is no more than random DNA thrown together. How sad. No, no, you misstate the obvious yet again. Feel free to try again when you graduate from the third grade.

That's assuming the 'designer' was God.. So you're a Raelian.
Cool.

Please - practice your insults. They are just so juvenile. Maybe you should watch reruns of Rodney Dangerfield.

Probably because they see no value in human lifeI have a great value for human life!!

proof of what? I'm not trying to be unpleasant, but evolution is out - no proof. God is in - the proof is, what, existence, nature? I really don't understand your reply.

Heck, I'm sad because gravity means I can't just fly around like Superman. Scientists don't factor my squashed dreams of being a superhero into the Theory Of Gravity, however.
(Stupid scientists.)

>>>Always wondered how many drunk, drug-addled, depressed students commit suicide at the Falls each year?
Not as many as one might think given the ample opportunities the gorges provide.
From 1990 to 2000, nine students killed themselves at Cornell, representing 5.7 student deaths per 100,000 per year. With eleven suicides in the same number of years, a student death rate of 10.2, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) far surpassed Harvard University (7.4 deaths per 100,000 per year) and Duke University (6.1 suicides per 100,000 per year). MIT's suicide rate is also 53 percent greater than the national average among college students, which is 7 per 100,000 per year.

Nope.
Just putting forth a 'theory' that the current intelligent civilization may have not been the first.
Besides. Try as I may, I just can't seem to get my tinfoil hat to stay on straight!

To: dmz
He's using argument by "because I said so". He's made it clear in the past that he's not interested in rational discussion, but rather interested in assuming the truth his position, assuming the position of anyone who accepts evolution (note that he rather clearly implies that all who accept evolution are atheists, even though he knows that this is a lie), and ranting accordingly.

Cornell University Interim President Hunter Rawlings III on Friday condemned the teaching of intelligent design as science, calling it "a religious belief masquerading as a secular idea."I have a feeling that if 'religion' embraced evolution as the best explanation, as a science, Cornell Univ Interim President Rawlings would 'condemn the teaching of evolution as science, calling it "a religious belief masquerading as a secular idea."' It's religion they hate, along with rational thought, and they seem bent on redefining 'rational thought' to suit their needs, especially their need to attack religion.
To: Bigh4u2
Nope. Just putting forth a 'theory' that the current intelligent civilization may have not been the first. No, you're putting forth a hypothesis, not a theory. And that's the problem with "ID" -- it doesn't rise to the level of an actual scientific theory, and should not be (mis)represented (especially in schools) as if it did.
