No one said that self-correction was FAST!

but they seem to be declining in number. Someone over there comes up with some pretty interesting archeology stories as well.

I had the same happen to a large apple tree, but I know NOT the culprits!
Two trees, 12 feet tall, loaded with apples, and ONE is stripped!
Nothing on ground at ALL, and to me, both trees appear to be the same type (I've only had this property a year.)
The other tree - just fine!
We are baffled!
And how did it change the meaning in that particular paragraph?
You are mistaken.
See, you don't have to accuse people of lying :-)
ARRGH!!!
Story Problem Alert!
(One; if he's got the runs!)
Problem: You're assuming that those with differing number of chromosomes than the average are going to be abnormal because information is missing or duplicated, as with Down's syndrome. This is a faulty assumption. Many of the cases of differing chromosome count shown above are due to combining two chromosomes or by splitting one into two. All of the information is still present, it's just organized in a different manner. These chromosomal addition or division events can initiate the dawn of a new species if the end result is offspring reproductively isolated from the parent population.
It doesn't seem to faze THIS fellow.....
NIV Psalms 139:11-17
11. If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"
12. even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
13. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16. your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
Crickets.... so far.
What you are demanding in that post is the privilege to make a derogatory claim (i.e. a group is a bunch of liars) then be exempt from any challenge "(a request to ask for specifics) shall be malicious."
Why not just not call people liars?
You are RIGHT!
wow... that is wierd.
it'd make sense if you had rode tha lightnin'...
because we have been instructed *not* to call fellow posters liars.
If *you* wish to petition the Almighty Mods to grant me permission to answer your challenge without fear of the promised repercussions, and successfully gain me that permission, I will gladly provide you with a sample of atr least three exemplars of each of the three types of common nonsense I detailed earlier, with full citation.
Otherwise, I fear you will simply have to look through the crevo threads yourself. It wouldn't really take you too long - the endlessly reiterated (and corrected) fallacies and deliberate falsehoods are rather abundant and difficult to miss.
So why did you?
I didn't call any FReeper a liar - I followed the letter of the law.
"Dispute? I comment; you decide."
I decide that you are trolling, because this has nothing to do with what I was talking about. This isn't one of the links I was commenting on. Like your bible-quote-spam, you here posted something completely divorced from the conversation. Elsie, you are truly a snore.
" And how did it change the meaning in that particular paragraph?"
You made it look like Darwin didn't have an answer when he did.
" See, you don't have to accuse people of lying :-)"
Yes, ignorance will often be the answer too. Not that that was an issue, because in that paragraph I never said you had lied. You were mistaken, about a great many things. :)
And why should I take what you say seriously?
