Looks good - do you want to ping the list?

Who's paying for this shingdig?

Dunno.

Ask PH; it's his contest......

(Is it safe to come back in?) Ah. Now as to finances, I think the brilliant folks at "Answers in Genesis" should pay.

Bon Voyage, mon ami!

I think it was "Godel" who posted the "Platy on the Chapel Ceiling" jpg.

You mean this? ;)

You mean this? ;)

Yup! Thanx!

PH: take note and save that jpg for later use. I had no idea that "Plato" the Platypus had a modeling carreer....

Got it saved. But that won't do much good on my hard drive (except to drive Homeland Security nuts if they come searching for porn). It needs to be linked from its internet source, like this:

[Plato says: "I was the model for Michaelangelo"]

As long as you keep that thing posted somewhere on the internet, we can use it from time to time. It's much too good to be abandoned.

NP, don't forget this other marvel of evolution

"I was thinking of offering my services as a moderator on this thread to start it back up again.

That cannot be because the evolutionists cannot face up to facts or discuss them. Therefore they spam the threads with inanities about the post# and gratuitous insults at those who are showing with facts how ridiculous the theory of evolution is. Theirs is always a scorched earth policy - if they cannot win, then they must destroy.

"Bye Bye Darwin" ran 10 threads, totalling 1882 posts.

And I wrote the article that started the ball rolling.

Like a good evolutionist, you do not post your "refutations" since you know they refute nothing.

[gore3000]

There is no context in the quotes for the author's ideas.

Of course there is, Medved quoted whole paragraphs, the quotes are valid and public. Take for example Gould's statements about the fossil record. He said it did not show Darwinian evolution. He may still be an evolutionist and an atheist, but he has completely broken with the theory of Darwinian gradualism.

"Please explain how cathode equals cathode ray tube. "

You never quote what you attack because it would be much harder to misrepresent my statements then.

I said no such thing. The cathode was technologically a precursor of it. Faraday's work, his theories, his experiments were very significant in the development of all kinds of electrical inventions later on. The evolutionist 1/1,000,000,000 or whatever amount of zeros he uses was propounding the ridiculous notion that scientific advances occur miraculously without knowledge of the theory behind the advances. While such a position fits perfectly with evolutionary theory, like evolution, it has no support in reality.
