I can remember one from Southack on one of his "Mathematical Proof" threads where I made a point about DNA information and sequence. However, his was only a concession on verbage and phrasing; he never conceeded that the underlying model was misapplied.
Great site.

Hey, that is good! You know what I'm thinking? I'm thinking we ought to print up some boards, have everyone who wants to play chip in a buck or two, and that way start a pot for the winner on the next thread...
In your opinion. Since I do not believe in any deity, there is no god/spirit/ghost/system to which i can measure my accomplishments or see myself as better than.
Yes. Evolution is the cause of all ails. It has caused many mental breakdowns for me. I am a nervous wreck because of speciation. Gravity has really got me down (ho,ho,ho). Thermodynamics has given me a fever (hee, hee, hee), etc, etc.
I would like to see the children of our country taught things which have a demonstably positive affect on their mental, emotional, and spiritual well being. And you think it is wrong.
Oooooh goodie! Are you pushing for the major teachings of Buddhism to become part of our curriculum? How bout asceticism? I hear that such practices are really uplifting and can lead you to the path of spiritual completeness. You're really on to something!!!!!
‘The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone.’ (Luke 20:17)
"There is a certain inevitability about Christ. He is the fulfillment of Herod's worst nightmare. Herod killed John the Baptist, and when Christ followed, the ruler thought John had risen from the dead. In a sense, it was true. Jesus' first appeals to the corrupt king were made through the Baptist."
"Christ is uncompromising; inexorable. He is unpreventable, unstoppable, unavoidable. An outline of the creation's future is discernible in the personality of Jesus. The new world order will bear the stamp of his character."
"The... invincibility---of Jesus is good news. It confirms our deepest hope-that the highest values known to humankind, will overcome, and reign. It is good strengthening to believe that Spirit is higher than matter. No one really wants to inhabit a world where material values rule. The incarnation of such values are exampled by Adolf Hitler, or Idi Amin."
"It is good news to know that we are loved by a 'tough love'; a love that is not willing to give up, or let go, and hence, a love that suffers long. In short we are loved by a love that will triumph. "Love never fails."
How about----parents----do their job!! Instill in them...HUMILITY!! CLASS!!!!!!!! not the------/---/-/-/-/-/-/-/-gubbbbbbermints JOB!
"He abused me, he laughed at me, he struck me." Thus one thinks and so long as one retains such thoughts, one's anger continues. Anger will never disappear so long as there are thoughts of resentment in the mind. Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts of resentment are forgotten.
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.
Do not think only of your own joy, but vow to save all beings from suffering. This is sharing in its highest form and purity beyond all poisons of this world.
True stature is not created by form or ornament; words spoken out of jealousy and greed oppose it. Only when evil has been stopped at its roots, and when there is wisdom without anger, is there true stature.
These sound good----are you going to convert to Buddhism now?
