OOOPS!

[Lurking Libertarian]

3101.

[Ichneumon]

4000?

Google Calculator: 3099+1

;-)

[BMCDA]

Hmmmm... Ellis-van Creveld syndrome. Maybe you have Amish roots ;^)

[PatrickHenry]

Okay, okay. But at least 3100 is prime.

[RadioAstronomer]

Hmmmm... Ellis-van Creveld syndrome

Hmmm....Does that include two hearts, 29 chromosomes, and a mean body temp of 71.3 deg F?

[BMCDA]

Uh... in that case I think your father was an alien ;^)

[RadioAstronomer]

ROFL! :-)

[Doctor Stochastic]

Maybe you have Amish roots ;^)

A good cosmo(to)logist should be able to fix that.

[RadioAstronomer]

LOL! :-)

To recapitulate: You have many features that appear to be alien. You spend your nights in some kind of "control room," admittedly communicating with no one on earth! You have an obsession with, and an uncanny knowledge of unearthly orbs. You monitor our activities by freeping on this website, and you have admitted (post 3095): "Posting to FR is alien communication." Yes, it would seem alien from your point of view. During the day, you seem to lie low, avoiding embarrassing confrontations with curious humans. What's even worse, and almost incomprehensible, are the many reliable reports that you have had your way -- your way! -- with several of our innocent earth women. You have thus far escaped detection because you probably live among isolated but tolerant villagers who, when they see you, mistakenly take your odd visage to be that of a yankee or some other kind of foreigner. But the game is drawing to a close. We're on to you now.

hehehehehe

You missed the briefcase full of alien implants and crop circle construction energy beams.

One of my favorite Medved quotes:

I'm only "universally scorned" amongst jackasses, and guess what? I don't even LIKE jackasses, much less care what they think.

[f.Christian]

The constitutional wall the founders were building was ...

to protect state and individual rights from a national govt - religion ---

that WALL has been breeched - demolished by liberals !

"The real object of the [First] [A]mendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among Christian sects, and to prevent any ... national ecclesiastical establishment --- which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage * * of the national government. It thus cut off the means of religious persecution (the vice and pest of former ages), and of the subversion of the rights of conscience in matters of religion, which had been trampled upon almost from the days of the Apostles to the present age. . . ." (Footnotes omitted.)

Old wall constitutionalist ... keep govt out ---

new wall constitutionalist (( sharia )) --- keep God out !

... * * ... guess who --- rag heads - liberals !

This one has gone on so long and grown so big (like a dinosaur, lol) I just had to get my PING in. :-)

Medved sure had a way with words, no wonder the evos had to get rid of him.

Anyways, since this thread has officially been deemed 'dead' by the pontifex maximus of the Church of Darwin, I guess I might as well end it with some scientific questions regarding evolution.

To claim that evolution is science, evolutionists would first have to answer several questions:

1. what exactly is THE theory of evolution? The one which has supposedly been scientifically verified? Without a theory it could not have been scientifically verified.
2. how can evolution give proof of descent from hundreds of millions of years back when it cannot even give proof of descent with the same kind of evidence (fossils) in the present time.
3. how can evolution be science when there is no evidence for transformations of species?
4. how can evolution be science when there is no explanation for how complex systems come about?
5. how does it scientifically answer the questions posed by opponents (other than calling them nincompoops)?
6. how can evolution be science when it denies causation, and natural laws - the basis of all scientific advances?
7. how can evolution be science when its propositions are constantly refuted by science?
8. how can evolution be science when its criteria for 'proof' is imagination, not observation?
9. how can evolution be science when it cannot point to any benefits to humanity being derived from applying it?

Since they cannot do so, it shows quite well that evolution is not science. Their failure to respond to this post (as they always do when asked to back up their claims) will be even more proof that evolution is not science.

There is no way that evolution is falsifiable!

What would happen if you found the same viral renanis in the same place in hte genom of a whale and a cow, but didn't find it in the genome of a hippo? ditto, in people, orangutans, and chimps?

what would happen if you found a rabbit fossil in a coal seam ? Or a preCambrian amphibian?

Answer: You'd be well on your way to falsifying standard biology.

[AndrewC]

You'd be well on your way to falsifying standard biology.

It did not stop biology when the hippo and whale were found to be the closest related genera among all other living genera. The paleontologists denied that for a while. When the DNA evidence was insurmountable, a suitable substitute for the ancestor of the whale was found that allowed it to be placed closer to the hippo. They now admit that the whale is an artiodactyl yet they refuse to place it close to the hippo. Why? Picture the pakicetus buried underneath the camels, pigs, ruminants, and hippos.

[f.Christian]

All thanks to evolution !

The govt is functioning under herd instinct now ... cattle pens --- packing house !

Feed lot education too !

[Virginia-American]

Closer than chimps/people?

They now admit that the whale is an artiodactyl yet they refuse to place it close to the hippo.

Huh? Hippos are closest to whales in the diagram you posted. Earlier speculations have been shown to be wrong - that's the way science works.

As I said, If you could find the same retroposon in the same place in cows and whales, then it will also be found in hippos, or the ToE has taken a *major* hit.
ID/Creationism has no explanation for this fact, other than a completely ad-hoc
"Well, they were just designed that way; wouldn't you use spare cow parts if you were designing a whale or hippo?"
