as to seeing a UFO, so one account seems to have little value scientifically. It can not be reproducibly observed by independent observers.

Hey, the nerlings were real enough!!! I can prove it!! I have their fingerprints on the Reese's Pieces.

Gotta sling the right song. Actually, give Goliath so drugs. Then he's more apt to get stoned.

Him to another--"Please, DO try and keep up with the adults. If you don't try, you'll never grow up."

Heck I like it better that way.

Get enough of these replicators to band together and you have the beginnings of a metabolism and "life".

They were a formidable foe to the Goa 'ulds.

Evolution is a Faith Based Religion even more than is Christianity. At least there are numerous contemporaneously written records of Christ's life, death and ressurrection.

Evolution is the hairbrained theory of a disgruntled Theology student with NO solid evidentiary support.

Believing in Evolution is much more a leap of pure Faith than is believing in God and His Son, Jesus... whose proof is everywhere you look.

If evolution didn't do it, I can't think of any other cause!

I believe there are certain aspects of evolution that are true--even ID necessitates that. I do believe that something was behind it all though. I can't explain it or "prove" it, but I can believe it. I do believe that there were dinosaurs and other fossil life forms, but to what effect it "all" happened I don't know and "how" it happened I don't know exactly. But I'm comfortable with that. It's the "future" that counts more anyways.

The fact that God exists simply cannot be ignored as a possibility by science.

During the course of known human history more than one-thousand deities have been worshipped or otherwise acknowledged by various cultures. To which do you refer?

Perhaps you could explain what is wrong with the theory of evolution rather than just making empty assertions.

Since I'm not on the Baal, maybe I'll take another Loki at the situation. Maybe it could be someone Hera or O-Thor one. Maybe Isis just anyone, by Jupiter.

ather than just making empty assertions.

If they were "full" I would either be attempting to pick apart possible faults in the reasoning used to back them up or even possibly altering my viewpoint based upon sound reasoning. But, as it is, the assertion was completely empty, devoid of any evidence or rationality.

It was a "designed" response.

How does one even begin to talk with someone who says such things as the above?

As the saying goes "Never argue with a crazy person". My advice is to just let 666 talk to himself.

Not quite able to get outside that box - are we?

That was your implication with this scintillating statement...

Uhhh - nope, that implication was merely your assumption. And what is more amazing, when I corrected you, you make the same mistake - of assuming again. I hope you realize that in a given situation there is often other explanations beyond your original assumption (thus my pointing out your need to get outside the box).

So would you like a final try? I'll give you 2 hints.
1. I have a high regard for pharmaceuticals (so..not a Scientologist).
2. Try re-reading your post #20.

And if you've lost track, my original point it was in reply to your post #20:
"The most ignorant statement made at FR today."

Hopefully this helps...
