By the time we had a word for "dinosaur," there hadn't been any dinosaurs--exclusive of their avian descendants--in 65 million years. The word is not the thing and the thing is not the word.
I thought you said the word science didn't exist more that a few hundred years ago? Seems that it excisted (in a different form in in Latin didn't it?
But then again, what is the f**king use? Your arguments are so infantile...so nonsensical..so idotic..so convuluted, that I can not begin to tear them apart.
I know that you will think you have won, and that is fine...(just make sure you use a towel to clean yourself odf before Mommy comes in and catches you doing what infantile lil boys do when sitting at the computer.) But it has been an unfair battle hasn't it? I have used reason and sense in my posts, and you resort to...well I don't even think there is a word to describe your ramblings. Please do not reply to anymore of my posts.
