For me it was Reggie Jackson - and Reggie Bars (remember those?)

A little. I liked Dale Murphy, Steve Garvey, and a few others too.

Get it right. People have bad habits because of free will.

I REFUSE to blame a dolphin for my own stupidity.


I thought we were supposed to blame our stupidity
on Cheetah like Tarzan did. But then Tarzan and
Cheetah were contemporaries so how could one have eveloved from the other? Now you're telling me my stupidity is from Flipper like those goofy kids on the TV show. When you make up your mind would you please let me know. I'm so confused and I just hate being confused about the origin of my species. Next thing you know I'll be confused about the orgin of sexual orentation or is my orangatan?

Actually, I forgot the italics. The origin of my species were those famous beings who came here so long ago in flying jelly beans. As for the origin of sexual orientation. That came about when people stopped using compasses and let their um.... "organs"..... be their guide.

very witty bump

First time I've EVER gotten a bump for one of my "replies." :)

Though Olson is obviously on the side of evolution, he exposes the shortcomings of both sides. He portrays intelligent designers as energetic, likeable people who compensate for their shaky theory's shortcomings through organization, personal appeal, and money. Scientists, on the other hand, squander their factual edge through indifference and poor communication skills.

I've commented on that observation more generally in a response to Falcon28's reply to PatirckHenry here

The same characteristic or a very closely affine characteristic of psyche that is prone to turn the inttelligent and gifted into Darwinists also makes them poor in literacy and communication skills.

Likewise it may be that a "complementary" charateristic of psyche makes us anti-Darwinists not as fond of the treasure caves of details that the Darwinists love.

We AD's prefer logical analysis first, details secondary. The D's prefer some canned cookbook approach that allows to all the flexibility and freedom in lovingly ordering and reordering their collections of details.

Public Notice is here served to my post prior.

[RunningWolf]

You make some very astute observations there Bvw.

Careful now, you might send them towards critical mass of darwinistic frothing flailing dementia.

For once you untangle & unite all the strings/noodles of what the cultist theory DOES NOT SAY, there is little perhaps nothing of substance nor anything pertaining to reality left to use.

The whole FSM campaign, intended to be a sacreligious parody ,in reality is an apt reflection on the cult of darwinistic evo-cultism itself.

good things should be 'bumped'

Groan.... again!

Only one groan???? :)

[moog]

Why do some put the "sniff, sniff" stuff in? I haven't ever been told that one.

This sentence is starting to sound like me when I try to be "intellectual."

[RunningWolf]

Its a Wolf thing.

But don't ask your hyena though, any hyena that get gets dyed pink just ain't there.

No self respecting house domesticated hyena is going be seen anywhere dyed pink.

What do you mean? Of course he could be "died" pink.
