Conservatives should be held to a higher standard than Liberals (and the rest of the population for that matter.)
"You don't even think highly enough of your own posts to write them in English; why should your arguments be judged as having more thought put into them than your writing does?"
if you value style over substance, so beit. judge as you will, i am who i am.
"Your posting style is a caricature of the "Illiterate Conservative Southern Republican" and will be seen as such by those just visiting this site."
except for the being literate part... oh no i dont capitalize words, i spell them correctly for the most part, but lacking capital letters is sure sign im an idiot on a web forum! heck, even then i realize one doesnt have to spell completely accurately to get the point across, and isnt that the point of instant communication via electronic devices?
i do what is easiet to type because it is most efficient for me. you understand my words, so i could care less what others think of that... if i REALLY tried.
A statement unsupported by the evidence. Cite your sources, please.
dont believe me? get the compounds involved in making an algae, or any living thing. get the exact compounds to the sixteenth place for all i care.
strike it with lightning or any other energy form you feel it would have com into contact with on a pre-life planet.
bingo, the same chemical reactions they say made life. (excluding my claim for design)
repeat all you want.
call me when you make life that way.
I recommend a can of...
as a base for the experiment.
Placemarker.
And don't bother replying to me with a challenge to come up with some other explanation - I'm not the one making the claim, you are. You will, of course, have to clarify what "it's all chemicals" means.
"it's all chemicals" means just that. the secularists believe that life is a random occurance of a chemical reaction that HAPPENS to replicate itself.
i contest that since we cannot observe this in nature, or in labs (without the previous existance of life), it is not the case.
the case involved is that the chemicals all "know" their rolls and functions. this is evidence that they were placed there in a particular fashion, and with the ability to tell future generations how to do it. its an uber-complex programming that we have not been able to replicate, and random events would overwhelmingly most likely result in errors.
this is where some people come in and claim to be scientific and state "abigenesis is the only logical way."
they at this point forget about the mathematical principles they so love, and ignore probability in favor of saying "religion is wrong, and i can prove it"
who/what "intellegent design" is is up for debate, as who can tell the Face of God?
the Bible states we are made in His Image. His Image could simply imply "living."
my opinion was an idea that came first, so im sorry, the burden of proof rests on the "there is no god" crowd. Dude.
LOL, post it again with a "does not include lightning bolts/RNA" disclaimer.
I know it's wrong. See post 97 above. But ask 10 people on the street and see how many of them think he is the missing link.
And for the record (when you read 97) I did make an error in labelling 'macroeconomic' evolution. Perhaps I did evolve from the apes after all. ;-)

New Evidence of Early Humans Unearthed in Russia's NorthStone tools, animal bones and an incised mammoth tusk found in Russia's frigid far north have provided what archaeologists say is the first evidence that modern humans or Neanderthals lived in the Arctic more than 30,000 years ago, at least 15,000 years earlier than previously thought... The tusk was carbon-dated at about 36,600 years old. Plant remains found among the artifacts were dated at 30,000 to 31,000 years... The discoverers said they could not determine from the few stone artifacts whether the site was occupied by Neanderthals, hominids who by then had a long history as hunters in Europe and western Asia, or some of the first anatomically modern humans to reach Europe... If these toolmakers were Neanderthals, the findings suggested that these human relatives, who became extinct after 30,000 years ago, were more capable and adaptable than they are generally given credit for. Living in the Arctic climate presumably required higher levels of technology and social organization... If they were modern humans, then the surprise is that they had penetrated so far north in such a short time. There has been no firm evidence for modern humans in Europe before about 35,000 years ago. It had generally been thought that the northernmost part of Eurasia was not occupied by humans until the final stage of the last ice age, some 13,000 to 14,000 years ago, when the world's climate began to moderate.

Sunkenciv, thanks for the ping.
Michael, you were slow to pull the trigger.
All, it does not appear to be just a dating problem. If I read things correctly, it is also an identification problem.
Work by the flamboyant Professor Reiner Protsch von Zieten showed that Neanderthal Man existed in northern Europe. Calculations on skeletal remains found at Hahnofersand, near Hamburg, stated they were 36,000 years old.
Pull the other one. I take it the skeleton looked like Elmer Fudd.
