I still do not understand how not attempting to convert you has caused distress.


I WAS JOKING
You really don't have a sense of humor do you??

Don't reply to 3 dogs crapping, he is about as much to honest dialog as demented is, IOW XERO

Now as you see they will never say or own up to their agendas, even though it is as plain as day the hatred for people of faith that flows out from them, therefore it becomes very easy for them to make all sorts of accusations to you as you see now happening.

Well here is your chance.

Just what are your motives and agendas?

I can see what it looks like, but lets hear it straight from Demented.

Now don't run off now like you always do.

You're not as bad as all that; he can still post to you if he wants. :)


I am SO pleased to have touched you so deeply, Mordo. :)

Specifically Hyers argues that Genesis 1 & 2 is principally a polemic against the surrounding polytheistic cultures. The point isn't chronology, science, etc, but rather emphasizing that stars, planets, sun, moon etc are created things; not gods or some other sort of divine, sacred entities as in the polytheistic scheme.

An excellent point. The same type of reasoning explains, IMHO, why the story of Noah is so much like the flood story in the Epic of Gilgamesh in its details, yet so unlike it in its message.

"There are NO good mutations."

If you are trying to say that every mutation is deleterious you are simply incorrect. Though the majority of mutations are deleterious (lethal mutations are fairly rare)to the fitness of the organism, neutral mutations also make up a large percentage of total mutations. Adaptive mutations, though rare, do in fact occur at a fairly high rate when given the population sizes (billions/trillions of organisms) usually discussed in the natural world.

I still do not understand the motive behind your blank replies.

My guess...blank replies come from a blank mind that wants to reply but can't formulate a better reply that nothing.

3 dogs crapping,

You are about as insignificant and obnoxious as those images you like to put up on this forum. If you think they really bother me and or you can put them up with no consequence, go for it, the images are yours.

You're talking to yourself again Mordo.

" If you think they really bother me and or you can put them up with no consequence, go for it, the images are yours."

Nice try. The images of you are stuck in your brain, that's good enough for me. It's all you talk about. I won. :)

Your victories like your science has an existence only in the dream fantasy of its cult followers. But take your victories where you can.

It's not nice to talk about people behind
their back.
But there's no reason to expect any less.

Nice try? Talking to ones self? Whats that about?

Its your work as it were, and you posted it to me. And it is not all I talk about.

Just what kind of nut-ball fantasy world do you live in 3dogs crapping?

Man you are one goofy *** 3dogs, just like several of the other weird characters that this godless hate filled cult attracts to it. It fits you guys like a glove.

Actually this is not to the whole group, but if I don't paint with a broad brush, it might be seen by ****** as a 'personal attacks' at the evos. So you, Sjive, Bwag, etc carry on with your poison agenda.

Do it for the lurkers /sarc> what a maroon!
What a Maroon!!

You respond with blank responses. You routinely insult those you don't agree with. You've admitted to trying to be an antagonizing troll. And you lecture me on what's not nice and posting etiquette. Spare me your hypocrisy.

Well, At least I have enough guts to do it to their
face. I don't post about people to other people
in hopes they won't see it and be called on it.
And BTW trolls don't last 7 and 1\2 years on FR.

Apparently not all the scientists at Princeton are drinking the "everything there is to know about evolution is already known" Kool-Aid.

I thought the "everything there is to know about evolution is already known" crowd was limited to the creationists.

...and then you try to lecture me on posting etiquette. That's rich.
