I take it to mean the she does not believe that the Cosmos and all that it contains is the result of the will of a Supreme Being. Took the author two sentences to get something seriously wrong. An uninformed opinion.

I didnt say that.
I said the thread was an opportunity for it...and included you in on the post along with others that I've had discussions with in the past (like the coyote).
And he might actually get the "needling humor" in it.
Dude, you gotta keep up.

When our social institutions evolved to the point where asking such a question wasnt as quite as painful or harmful to ones health, science, in the sense that we use today, began to blossom. And it bloomed because of its explanatory power, its predictive power. If you combine A, B, and C bingo! you get D. And no one had ever seen, heard or thought of D before!
But at least he wasn't a complete idiot.

To: Windsong
Er...no. The "old fashioned" way, as you describe it..would be through a miracle, not man's idea of creation (i.e. Evoluuuuuuution).Hmmm. You might just be right. Funny how God created all of the other physical laws (when he really didn't have to); how he created entire galaxies (for whose purpose?)....or did He? Maybe all of it is just baloney...geology, astronomy, physics, and especially evoluuuuuuuution! LOL

Interesting that the author couldn't be bothered, you know, actually asking his mother what she means. Sounds like he's auditioning for a job at the New York Times.

I guess he who has the longist list of links, wins the argument?It isn't the length, but the strength.

Working today, so not keeping up.
But, I agree--a sense of humor is very important!
I'll check back later.

I don't think the mother is a real person. He made her up.

I see that troubling fallacy in the posts of some freepers as well. Acceptance of not only evolution but simple cause-and-effect relationships is equated to atheism.
Yes, the idea that you can model nature without angels pushing the stars around was a useful advance. No, I don't think we've gone too far with it.

To: frgoff
Then why are evolutionists all in a lather over ID, which simply explains what TOE (according to you) has nothing to say about? Because ignorant radicals are trying to force the superstitious hoax into schools as if schools don't have enough radical idiocy to deal with already.
To: wallcrawlr
Duration is also important. Some theories take more time than others.

It isn't the length, but the strength.I read a sampling...you are right, there was a peculiar, rather strong odor.

some people are so sensitive that they're posts arent responded too. You should try reading it. Ichneumon's stuff is fascinating. Then again, you might actually learn something. Can't have that!

To: shuckmaster
How did I know you were talking about people like me...?
Ill certainly take my money back if you can arrange it.
There are plenty of decent schools out there that are more worthy of my money.
Until then...my money = my influence.
Yes, it obviously tough for you to deal with, but I'm ok with it.

"time" Yes, I've heard that.
Some can last for what seems like hours...others come and go in 20 minutes.

She fled to avoid burning at the stake. That or the endless hectoring about how she was going to end up eternally damned. Just remember, all the worst stuff in the world today happened after Darwin.
