Atheism

Jesus is coming!!!!

You silly christians have been waiting for your zombie god to return for 2000 years. I have just two questions for you; 1) When are you guys going to realize that the author of that part of the NT that claimed that JC's return was imminent was talking out of his ass rather than from authority? 2) What is the expiration date on an imminent return? I would think that 2000 years would make imminent kind of a mmot discussion point.  (2 min ago | post #336)

Evolution Debate

It's the Darwin crowd that lacks the facts in evolution debate

Way to go, you have once again failed to get the point. You have also failed to actually address anything I said.  (Tuesday Dec 8 | post #19336)

Evolution Debate

Should we really let students decide?

Are they really bringing this arguement up again? Students are in school to learn. They are not yet qualified to determine the validity of any given theory. This is nothing but another false appeal to the great American sense of fair play. They also fail to mention that in the name of 'fairness', that all other alternatives besides their own should also be brought up. This of course would leave no time for instruction in the actual relevant subject, but they choose to omit mentioning that as well. If (un)intelligent design needs to be brought up at all, it should be in a social studies or comparative religion class where it belongs, not in biology or any other science.  (Sunday Dec 6 | post #1)

Like she would say no when confronted by someone (or the sockpuppet/proxy representative) that could turn her into a pillar of salt or blast her into nothingness, or more likely, given his trackrecord, just leave or in a puddle of her own entrails. Coercion is not concent. And according to your tome of stone age rantings, your god has such a track record for unwarranted malicious destructiveness, so she would have been justified to have been wary of such a fate befalling her.  (Sunday Dec 6 | post #19226)

Evolution Debate

It's the Darwin crowd that lacks the facts in evolution debate

This is why markie fights so hard against the reality of Evolution... If Evolution is true, and more specifically human evolution is true... It means that the Garden of Eden fable is... exactly that, a fable. This of course means that there was no talking snake, no tree of knowledge of good and evil, no Adam, no Eve, and most importantly, no Fall. With no Fall, there is no reason for his god to incarnate himself as his own son (after raping a young Jewish woman) and offer himself up as a blood sacrifice to atone for his own incompetence. Afterall, who was it that set the whole deck against man in the first place, assuming the bible is true? Think about it. How the heck were Adam and Eve supposed to know that eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was wrong, if they had no knowledge that it was wrong to do so, and no knowledge that disobedience was wrong? This is the fault of the abrahamic god, it is entirely on his shoulders. And this monster then proceeds to blame humans (or more specifically Eve, since god's inventors were fiercely patriarchal males and were certainly not about to blame themselves in their own fairytale) for his failings, and the whole miserable mess snowballs to the present day. Bible-thumping creo-IDiots like markie have essentially pitted their entire failed worldview against the reality of Evolution as if the two were in direct competition (only true in their eyes if they are misinterpreting literalists like marksman, and still, only to them). And then they wonder when their miserable failure of a worldview gets it's metaphorical ass handed to it. Sad, really sad. I felt it neccessary to repost this, since Markie keeps on bringing up THE FALL, or rather, his god's FAILURE to get it right the first time, as one would expect an all-powerful, all knowing entity to be able to do without breaking a sweat. (Didn't god have to rest after 7 days of building his flawed original?) And yet he failed to adequately prepare his 'finest creation' (in other words, man) by denying him the knowledge of good and evil, thus leaving him unprepared to understand the very basic concept that when given certain instructions, he is supposed to follow them. And then when man didn't follow those instructions, as he didn't know it was wrong, instead of fixing it, god throws a fit and both kicks man and woman out of paradise and then plauges them with a host of ailments. And they say Satan was evil. He's got nothing on god for pure maliciousness. That is of course, assuming all this bullshit was actually true.  (Sunday Dec 6 | post #19213)

Intelligent Design Book Delivers Blow to Darwin

There are things that Evolution does not cover. It has nothing to say about the origins of the universe, that is the realm of cosmologists and astrophysisists. It has nothing to say about the origins of life either, that is the realm of biochemists. Once life exists, then evolution can and does commence. To try and include things that are not pertinent to evolution is illogical, disingenuous, and a clear mark of someone who either hasn't the faintest clue what he's talking about, or is deperately trying to prop up his myths by denigrating a strawman approximation.  (Saturday Dec 5 | post #137)

Dinosaur

Dinosaur online references.

What I would like to do guys is compile a list of online sources for information on Dinosaurs. The best one that I know of that is updated regularly is www.dinodata.net. I used to check www.dinosauricon.c om and www.dinsoauria.com , but neither of those are updated anymore.  (Saturday Dec 5 | post #1)

The New Dinosaur forum Counsil

I think I may have seen something similar to that. You could just take it for what it was; impotent threats from small people who were trying to compensate for something.  (Saturday Dec 5 | post #149)

Dinosaur

Latest from dinodata.net

There were a few other sites that listed new dinosaur species that I used to check along with dinodata, but unfortunately neither dinosauricon.com or dinosauria.com are being updated anymore. If you know of any additional sites I should check, please let me know.  (Saturday Dec 5 | post #125)

The New Dinosaur forum Counsil

I think one of the things we should look into doing is getting somebody to step up and take control of what gets posted to this site away from roboblogger. At the very least, it might haelp to keep the totally irrelevant stories and blatant creotard crap at bay.  (Saturday Dec 5 | post #143)

Apes and men: Chromosome 2 in humans and the chimpanzee, pt 1 of 3

There are actually people out there that still think the second law of thermodynamics applies to Evolution? How quaint. Seriously guys, this non-arguement should have been left dead and buried. Why do you keep bringing it (or any other non-arguement) up? Hoping the rest of us haven't heard it before?  (Saturday Dec 5 | post #219)
