You know, even though I'm not an atheist... I need to *find* these people and sign up.You don't find them. If they want you, they'll find you.

You found grandpa! Thank you.You have no idea how long I've been looking for him. I sent him out to pick up a case of condoms years ago and haven't seen him since.
FR is better than a milk carton!

I disagree, quantum mechanics goes beyond the three known dimensions of space. Paging David Hilbert!

Einstein laid the foundation for quantum mechanics, but had problems with the theory as it was then formulated. Groundbreaking work continued by Neils Bohr and others. Bohr was considered to have won the debate with Einstein. Gee, you forgot deBroglie. And Heisenberg. And Schrödinger.
"Rayleigh, Jeans
had not the means.
Einstein didn't want 'em.
It took Neils Bohr
and several more
to figure out the quantum."

From your link (
http://www.texscience.org/files/discovery.htm):
Howard Ahmanson, however, is no ordinary fat-cat. The savings and loan heir has maintained a long-time relationship with Christian Reconstructionism, an extreme faction of the Religious Right that seeks to replace American democracy with a harsh fundamentalist theocracy. Reconstructionists believe conservative Christians should take "dominion" over American society. Under their version of "biblical law," the death penalty would be required for over a dozen categories of offenders, including adulterers, homosexuals, witches, incorrigible children and those who spread "false" religions. They regard the teaching of evolution as part of a "war against Genesis."
Just what we need, a home-grown sharia!
Include me out.

"Einsteins first famous contribution to science was to quantum mechanics."
I always thought it was his refrigerator :-) (IIRC Electrolux now holds the patent).

I believe they are becoming less smug and cocky in Europe, where their remarks might arouse the ire of the local imam.
Are you a Muslim or do you just want Christians to follow the teachings of Mohammed?
To: b_sharp
Looks like a plan for tall kids right? Nope, I married a woman 5'2" tall (on a good day). My son is 5'7" and my daughter is 5'2". Not much chance of increasing the height of the human species there I'm afraid.Who says that increasing height is to an evolutionary advantage? At 5'4", I can fly coach without my knees stiffening up, which is more often useful to me than being able to reach the top shelf without standing on something.

Thanks, I'd never heard of him.
From the link about Howard Ahmanson, Jr:
Although donating to the United States Republican Party, some of his donations have been returned because of his views.
So, there's at least one contributor to DI who isn't a GOP-hater. Interesting.
To: grey_whiskers
The frig work was done ~1926. Here's
the frig. I wonder if this is the propane frig used in motor homes and such. The efficiency obtained from the link was 0.08 to 0.18. Electrolux had the patent.
To: dread78645
Thanks, I never actually researched DI's funding myself, assumed it would be a waste of time.
To: dread78645; Coyoteman
Howard F. Ahmanson Jr and his wife and foundation give money (sometimes returned) to the GOP, and yet they hate freedom.
Wow! So I guess I was half right: At least one DI contributor hates the USA.
To: Virginia-American; Mamzelle
You said skeptics were being funded by Soros and have done nothing to support the claim.Mamzelle has made several unsupported claims.
When challenged, she either repeats them or introduces another unsupported claim in what certainly appears to be an attempt to distract our attention from the original unsupported claim.
Is it just me, or are the perjury apologists losing what sense of style they used to have?

Some of the more colorful stylists got banned: I'm thinking of Medved and his bat Spifford, and G3K with his stubborn inability to acknowledge a typo in his famous "1
720 is a huge number" debacle.
If he knew there was a typo...
To: Doctor Stochastic
The ID supporters didn't purjure in style at the Dover trial;I dunno, saying that drug abuse is the reason has a certain BJ Cl*nt*n/Marion Barry flair to it.

Is it just me, or are the perjury apologists losing what sense of style they used to have? Folow the link at post 297: it's the Wikipedia article about famous Moonies. Series lack of style (and substance)
