What I have noticed is people who claim to be the most opened minded have only an overstuffed locked closet that you can't open with an atom bomb !

No imagination or creativity ... rote brainwashed loons who circulate like trained geniuses in the intelligentsia circuses --- dodo birds headed for the smithsonian !

Some graduate to conservatism unenlightened ... I call them --- rat's nest republicans !

[miloklancy]

Ah, the infamous f.Christian. I might have known this was coming. I should feel offended I didn't get the nutty Primordial soup diagram. I don't even know where to begin. But you do have a unique prose style to say the least.

[f.Christian]

Yeah ... I'm just playing for now with you all --- I have the big one coming -- for keepers !

[oldcomputerguy]

2.6 million years and they were found only 1 meter deep?

[Jim Robinson]

f.Christian has decided that he'd rather part company than quit insulting everyone on FR he disagrees with.

So, part company we will.

Good bye, f.Christian.

[Doctor Stochastic]

I'm impressed it hasn't been touched in over 2 million years...

That's why people bury treasure. Of course, these sites to make it clear that one man's garbage is another's treasure.

[PatrickHenry]

Patrick, hope its OK to borrow your ping list.

No problem. I was busy elsewhere most of the day. And it seems I missed a bit of excitement around here.

"mideval superstitious religious non-sens"

You miss the point. It isn't religion that drives them, because belief or disbelief has not a heck of a lot to do with salvation of ones soul. Whether we were created by evolution or a sudden act, we still have to deal with the same questions, we still need the Ten Commandments, it is still bad to kill and steal and fornicate.

Unfortunately, what we are really seeing is people so fearful of looking at the world God gave us, that they have to claim everyone else is a sinner. It's quite sad, really. And as an engineer I actually believe there are ample mechanisms for intelligent design.

[DoctorMichael]

Bump.

[Plutarch]

The tools they found “are incredibly fresh for their age,” he adds. “The condition of the site, for its age, is shocking.”

Maybe they ought to recalculate the age then.

[chuckles]

Damn! They have to reprint the textbooks again! Can't evo's get there facts straight before we spend the money on textbooks again?

[PoorMuttly]

“They chose only the rarest kinds of cobbles from the ancient stream bed nearby for their ‘flake-ability.’

Naw...my ancestors used to joke about things "Made In Gona."

They took the easiest ones, because they were lazy. The stuff always broke...so years later, nobody even bothered scavenging the place (very hard for Muttlys to resist!).

Probably the derivation of the word "GONE."

I agree. I have the 10 commandments on the wall in my bedroom...and, I used to have it displayed on a granite block in my state capitol.

[RightWhale]

That's a funny chart, but you ought to ease up a bit on the evo stuff, especially on this poster's threads.

[RightWhale]

Oh, I see the poster has departed. Nevermind.

Hi Fletch.....

How's life in the fast lane.

[stands2reason]

You are ignorant of Science if you expect it to be static.

[miloklancy]

I respect your believes, but the concept of God means nothing to me. I'm an atheist. All I ask is that you respect my beliefs and don't mingle the very separate worlds of mysticism and modern science. I don't think our society and goverment is too skewed towards Christians, like some atheists and agnostics do. I think it is just right. And I do think there is universal good in the Ten Commandments. I'm not on the side of controlling anyone's religous believes and I think anyone he is non-Christian, has to acknowledge and accept that our country was founded by Christians. But let us find common ground and respect one another instead of this zealous arrogance.

[ASA Vet]

zealous arrogance on FreeRepublic?
Surely you jest?
