Yeah, but if all the red shirted people magically disappeared it wouldn't be a major planetary improvement. And thinking of it wouldn't give me a nice warm feeling.
BTW what is an Amish doing anywhere near an electronic device? Or is that the "with an attitude" part? Of course that means you can't be Amish. I'm so confused.
What are you, exactly? Other than what you reveal in your posts.
Stay-Puft-Man placemarker.
Evolution debunker= dumb bigoted religious hick
yeah we do get it!
Or, conversely:
Evolution belief = Godless athiest, anti-Christian bigot.
Evolution debunker = Good Christian who is in the graces of the Almighty.
Yeah, we get it too!!
Ain't bickering fun???? LOL
I'm waiting for Gumlegs to post a picture.
Perceptive of you, that is ideed the attitude part.
A contextomy is to quote someone out of context in such a way as to misrepresent what he believes about the subject of which he is writing or speaking.
If there was any misrepresentation of Ruse's beliefs, it was done by John S. Wilkes, since he is the one who quoted him. DUH.
Now if you want "context", you got context, my friend - I just posted his whole commentary HERE.
"Unproven, evil, satanic theories."
They are not unproven, one can demonstrate the "fact" regarding the "theory" of lift simply through the use of colored smoke and a wind tunnel with the corresponding math to describe what is going on. Or yet, build a plane.
What hasn't been proven is that life can arise from non-life...though evolution is supposedly more concerned with the Origin of species and their development into modern forms and not with Life's(in the macro sense) origins per se.
The problem with the theory of evolution as opposed to the theory of Lift is that you can concretely demonstrate lift,(build a plane with certain mathematical and physical characteristics and it will fly). Evolution at best can only be demonstrated INFERENTIALLY through measurements and predictions based on observations of strata, age of rocks and fossils,ect and "educated" speculations.
You science types are ultimately going to have to build a time machine so that you can show concretely that evolution unguided by any sort of the divine actually occured, inferences won't make the "plane" fly so to speak.
What I find wrong with it is its use as a quote mine.
I am not a "creationist" as that word is understood by Darwinists, nor do I want to teach your children anything. What your children are taught is YOUR responsibility and none of my business. And I want the same attitude extended to me. This problem will never go away as long as people insist that they have the right to ursurp parental rights and use "the government" to indoctrinate school children with ideas their parents object to. That is the REAL debate.
"Ain't bickering fun???? LOL"
Well one things for sure...Wahabist Muslims want to kill both evolutionist and Christian infidel. I'll guard your back when the fighting starts if you guard mine...when the smoke clears...we can always bicker again later!
So you must exist "mostly", outside the fold. Yet you seem to cherish the Amish part, too. Are you young and expect to rejoin later? Or are you cut off, permanently?
If I'm too curious, just say so.
Agree. Not much question he was a fool. Bu Linnaeus was going by appearances, modern evolutionary analysis is mostly molecular
"I'll guard your back when the fighting starts if you guard mine...when the smoke clears...we can always bicker again later!"
Very witty and all to true, count me in too.
Never been Amish officially.
After spending 38 years immersed in the world of high tech electronics in a land called Kalifornistan, I now prefer the outwardly simple life here on the ranch many miles from whence I came.
Ah, so a Lancaster Co. adoptee. OK everything makes sense now. Too bad. A real Amish would have been very interesting.
Sorry I couldn't help on the Amish thing.
Made myself too old in that last post, make the 38 a 15.
This thread is a veritable circus.
He's so big, he doesn't fit!
