Originally posted by C'jais I wonder why USA, the most technologically advanced nation and one of the founders of modern democracy, is "allowing" weird religious mythos in schools and their zealous inventors in public media and politics. S... [Read More]
Originally posted by lukeskywalker1 Catholics are not christians! I can only say that you are absolutely wrong in this case. As an anthropology student, I've made some careful study of various religions of the world and I can tell you that the ass... [Read More]
Guys! This is an "Evolution / Creation" thread, not a nit-pick religion thread. If you can't show a correlation with evolution, leave it out... I'd like to answer, or attempt to answer, more creationists issues with the idea of religion.... [Read More]
Going into the ritual practices of any of the religious organizations (I'm inclined to type 'cult,' since this is the literal definition, however I realize that it offends some people's sensibilities) is really getting of base of the topic "Evol... [Read More]
Originally posted by lukeskywalker1 Either way, with dating methods, there are millions of possibilities, i mean, erosion, earthquakes, and even humans (not knowing it) could effect whatever dates they think theve found. How? I'm not saying you ar... [Read More]
Originally posted by TheWhiteRaider I know Steven J. Gould(Spelling?) has alreay dumped it. The late Steven Gould (1941 - 2002) only revised his theories about some of the nuances in "evolution." Until the day he died, he still accepted... [Read More]

Originally posted by Psydan ... has anyone here read "Darwin on trial" by Phillip E. Johnson? well, in it are very good arguments against "evolution" as people refer to the modern scientific theory of how we came to be at this st... [Read More]
Michael Drosnin, who wrote The Bible Code, has a new book out called, not surprisingly, the Bible Code II. The problem with both books is that they're bunk. The process relies on pure random chance to predict events....which include assassinations... [Read More]
Here's a link to a story about three 160,000 year-old skulls found (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2003/06/030612090827.htm) that support the Out-of-Africa theory of human evolution. "The fossilized skulls of two adults and one child disc... [Read More]
Originally posted by joetheeskimo5 And for the "real" question: I believe that only Calvinists and Baptists are true Christians, .... And have you ever read all the stories about Catholic Priests who rape the altar boys? However, ther ar... [Read More]
It's interesting to note that the phrase, "one nation, under God, indivisible," doesn't appear until 1954 in our Pledge of Alliegance." Similarly, the motto, "In God We Trust," doesn't appear on our money until 1956. The or... [Read More]
In my country, the 'good guys' aren't called terrorists, they're called 'counter-insurgents.' The United States has been very adept at using terrorism for many years and mini-nukes are but one more way to do it. Terrorism is the calculated use of vi... [Read More]
Originally posted by FunClown Did the government official mention anything about how the nuclear weapon (that's what it is) does its job (its job is to kill)? The context was that it's intent (the nuke) was to destroy underground weapons cache (i.... [Read More]
Originally posted by FunClown .....would you think that there is a great potential of a nuclear capable country pre-emptively sending nukes to the US? As a pre-emptive strike perhaps? No. Only the U.S. is allowed to use pre-emptive strikes. Certain... [Read More]
Originally posted by Psydan Only problem is that you can't prove what the "I" or the "He" is, it could be his body, and the brain is just a tool to allow the body to make rational decisions, The body is incapable of "makin... [Read More]
Originally posted by Psydan Anyone know why the monkeys only lasted 9 hrs. ? Could be their heads weren't meant to be "transplanted". That would imply a "plan," which may be a possibility. However, the probable explanation is t... [Read More]
Originally posted by C'jais Wouldn't we lose our "body memory" (so to speak) if this transplant occured? I mean, wouldn't I lose my ability to type well if I got a body that hadn't been "conditioned" to type well? I wouldn't be... [Read More]
Originally posted by Jubatus The meaning of life. I believe there is none other than what each individual creates for themself. In order to believe so I don't necessarily need to dismiss the existence of dieties (or a single diety). I think it is... [Read More]
If we accept that polititians lie to their constituents, where do we draw the line? How many lies is too many? Are "white" lies okay? If we simply say, "it's in the nature of a polititian to lie, so therefore we shouldn't worry about... [Read More]
Personally, I'd like to see Cjais get in here and delete all the nonesense posts that are off-topic, but knowing his sensibilities about censure, I doubt he would be interested. A pity really, because this is a topic that should warrant serious disc... [Read More]

A huge driving force in the seatbelt laws of the U.S. (and probably other countries as well) is the Insurance Industry. This is the same driving force behind the Helmet Laws, especially with child bicyclists. If you think about it, it makes good se... [Read More]
I say you're confusing intuition with something more. Humans are the most intuitive animals on the planet. We seek out patterns in our lives and attempt to make sense of them, both consciously and subconsciously. More likely you are experiencing a li... [Read More]
