I, at least, proposed that with sufficient lawyers you could probably jump a claim, and that would certainly suffice in anybody's book as a modern oil exploration technique.
So far you have not addressed my assertion.
This thread is getting better all the time.
Evolution has no pratical applications. Oil comes from nowhere. The earth is the center of the universe.
It's very hard to be very lofty when one starts with
chance plus time and never gets beyond that.
The only plausible result is that man is nothing more important than a rat, a pigeon, a radish or a rock--as B.F.Skinner was wont to pontificate about.
The long overstated responses to ANY disagreement of any kind..the obvious dissatisfaction and restlessness and inability to tolerate the existence of Christian belief in Creation ANYWHERE...as if it has to be stomped out.
I know all to well where you are coming from.
And I pray for you, that you will find the truth and the incredible peace that comes with it.
You can curse and insult me all you want. I really do wish the best for you.
Please elaborate. Inquiring and eager minds want to know. BTW, I'm planning to send your response to people who might be very, very interested in your hypothesis. You may be on to something they haven't thought of. Though I'm of a skeptical mind, you may be on to something here, so by this post I legally claim a 40% share (I'm not greedy) of all revenues you realize from promoting Postmodern EarthCentrism. I've already copyrighted this term. But, please don't tell your neighbors before you (I mean we) get on Oprah.
Send them what I already posted.
I thought you would have some unique evidence but, sadly, no.
Perhaps your friends will have some unique evidence that you don't know about.
Let me know.
I guess this means we don't have a deal yet. Please reconsider. Think of all the money we could make.
That would seem to square with your (mis)conceptions of oil exploration:
So far you have not addressed my assertion.
Your assertions have already been addressed, and exposed as being midly nutty.
Indeed I do. If you don't, on the other hand, you've just revealed that you haven't a clue about even the most elementary principles of physics. Why not just admit that your question is a bluff in an attempt to get me to help you make heads or tails of a topic you can't even begin to understand, but are attempting to "debate" anyway?
Wow, to turn your brain off like that, must be absolutely liberating.
To be objective and a free thinker, and want to think and gain knowledge, and then convert and be born again, and just be able to shut it all down.
What an incredible experience that must have been.
I just can't bring myself to do it.
Sorry, you didn't provide a reference to back up your "opinion". Remember, it's always good to do that when you describe one of the alternative theories as so much BS.
Yes indeed... Mr. "I don't have time to provide support for my allegations" Jorge turns out to have all the time in the world to play over and over again the "I feel sad for you, really I do" game in a pathetic attempt to try to distract attention from his inability to stand by his nonsense.
Ironically, that only highlights just how disingenuous his initial excuses were, *and* how hollow his claims of "gosh, I'm not concerned what you think" are. He seems concerned enough to keep ramping up and repeating his posturing each time I make clear I'm not buying it.
Hubris is not an argument.
Actually I went on to graduate first in my college class with a perfect 4.0 GPA.
As a Christian I didn't believe a word my pro-evolution college professors were saying, but I aced their classes just the same.
FWIW, most of the Alberta and so far all of the Sask oil sands oil has been extracted through steam. The lower the Bitumen level the more steam is used as an extraction method.
The OP made an unsubstantiated claim based on a low knowledge level and presented it in such a way as to imply her information was as valid as any other.
"...so maybe you might want to readdress the ABRUPT answer you gave"
What was ABRUPT about my post?
The OP has been more than a little shrill in her rejection of anything evolutionary and has shown little to no desire to temper her posts based on her obvious knowledge level. If she wants to learn I would be happy to contribute what I little I can but she needs to recognize her ignorance for what it is and not pretend to a certainty of knowledge she doesn't have.
I have no problem with people with a lower level of knowledge in a given area than I have just as I have no problem with people with a higher level of knowledge.
The evidence indicates oil comes from fossil marine life in sedimentary deposits. There's no compelling evidence oil comes from deep within the earth. When they start pumping oil from volcanoes, call me. Until then, your "alternative theory" is nonsense.
As a Christian I didn't believe a word my pro-evolution college professors were saying, but I aced their classes just the same.
So, not only were you able to turn your brain off, you were also able to turn off your new found principles as well.
God must be pleased with you.
What are you talking about, joining head-to-head? You are aware that chromosomes have two strands of DNA, right? Like this:
5'--------------3'
3'--------------5'
I think that what you are suggesting is that this happened:
5'--------------3'3'----------------5'
3'--------------5'5'----------------3'
Instead of the proper:
5'--------------3'5'----------------3'
3'--------------5'3'----------------5'
If that is what you are suggesting happened, I am curious as to why you think that. It wont happen that way. Why do you think that the first chromosome wouldn't just twist a very little so it would match up and fuse? That is exactly how they form chiasmata.
We will continue to pray for you.
I think your correspondent there is younger than you imagine.
