That's how Jesus taught us to pray, isn't it, making the loudest public show possible -- never praying in private?
I think you're right about the rubber strips appearing later on the vertical bits on the bumper.
I think you're right I think that one may be older than the one i had... I'me pretty sure mine hade like rubber verticle strips on the bumper, the bumper was crome and the ruber was encased in crome also. like around the rubber pads or whatever. It's been so, long... kinda hard to remember.. I know it was red! hehe. and had a bullet hole though the windshield and door when I bought it. :\
I never had an MG, but I did have a 1959 TR-3. Traded it in for a Pantera. :-)
What year Pantera? got pics?
BTW, my dad worked at Ford and could have gotten a Pantera really cheep way back in the day, he didn't jump on the deal... they had a trailer of them at the Ford plant and they were selling them in the parking lot to the employees. He should have snaged one.. My grandpa(his dad) was there too, but hey like he's gonna buy a sports car! :\
Was a 1973 Pantera, Sky blue. Funny thing is I never took a pic of it. After owning it about two months it got stolen. Sigh. I got it back in pieces and sold em. Took the money and bought a black 1983 RX-7.
Today I drive a Lemans Blue 2005 C6 Vette Coup. (No pics of it either yet) LOL!
I just don't seem to take pics of my cars.
BTW, the TR-3 was British Racing Green.
The only real muscle car I ever owned was a 440 1971 tan Roadrunner. I drove that thing all over south Florida. :-)
I wish I had all these cars. LOL! They are worth one hell of a lot more than I sold em for. (Even a stripped Pantera)
My first "sports car" was a black 1968 Javelin.
Dang! (My dad would not have either) LOL!
He knows and has known for a long time that he screwed the pooch and should have bought it, I can't remember what they were asking for them but it wasn't that much and it was brand new. Just about every time we see like a ferri for something on TV hes like "did i ever tell you the time where me and pop(his dad) could have bought brand new Ford Panteras right in the parking lot at work"? LOL! I'd just give him the glazed over look and say yea but tell me again... :D
Simple. How long is a day to God?
And how can you presume to know?
Folks who feel threatened by the truth often protest too loudly.
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Exodus 20:11
If you say a day is longer than a day, why do they not use a different word? the hebrew has more descriptive words than day for long periods of time.
We certainly are, i.e., I certainly am. I know some very reputable scientists think the way I do. And some don't.
Evolution has been scientifically demonstrated sufficiently to me. I personally believe the Big Guy may have used evolution as a tool, in some way. But I certainly wouldn't want anyone to use my quaint beliefs to slow down scientific inquiry. I actually see no conflict. The more evolutionists tell me, the better.
What I like about the Royal Academy's remarks is that at least they acknowledge guys like me. And Einstein. Now, pass the sherry.
All religious points of view. Practically speaking, however, this area could be honed down to general terms and electives. I am grown up enough to realize there are adherents to different religions, including atheists, all of whom are fellow citizens entitled to an equal hearing when their tax money is spent on education. All of which goes to show public education paid for by the taxpayer is a particularly stupid idea unless one is devoted to mediocrity.
I hate to disagree with you, but I do not see the scientific community behaving as you describe.
Uh, huh. Tell me specifically in which public forum, have you heard mainstream scientists touting the absolute truth of scientific theories. One example will do.
What I see the scientific professionals circling the wagons against the perceived threat of creationism. They correctly denounce creationsim as a non-science.
Yea, what's the matter with those dern scientists, taking offense just because some religeous sect wants to revise the high school science textbooks? The nerve. How do think they would like it if scientists were marching over to your church to pencil in some sensible revisions to the bible?
Yet they continue to tolerate those in their midst who bait the creationists by making non-scientific attacks on religion. (I am thinking of Dawkins and his ilk.)
Dawkins isn't science. Dawkins is an individual with individual opinions to which he is entitled. Science has no capacity to have an opinion one way or another on the subject of God.
How should scientists respond to creationists? By refusing to argue with them about how and why the earth was created. When creationists say that God created the Earth ex nihilo in six 24-hour days, do not tell them they are wrong or stupid. Simply say that such a creation would be a miracle, and science does not deal in miracles.
That is science's position, your evidence-poor lotus-dreams notwithstanding.
You might add that many of the great scientists have been and are religious persons. They have had no difficulty reconciling religion and science because they recognize that the two serve different purposes. If you are a religious person yourself, you could also say something about how you find that science and religion both play roles in your life.
Thanks for your advice. We never would have thought of it ourselves--unless we were over 6 years old.
