    the point huh?
    wow i never realized how simple everything is and if i just got "the" point everything would be harmonious in the universe....

    the world does not function like digital logic. there is no absolute answer to most things...

    so much of the dialog here seems to come from one sided "open minded" enlightened absolutists with all the correct, and only answers to the human equation.

    its a shame that there is no real independent creative thinking happening in this thread.

    is it me or is there some irony in all of this somewhere...

    Bush needs to serve hard time for some of the stuff he's done.

    Stuff he's done? what stuff? I haven't seen any legislation that addresses stuff. what stuff act are we referring to? the federal stuff act or, is this like a state level crime? Doing stuff requires hard time?

    This was modded up to 4?

    Well,
    I for one don't think is rabid displays of degenerate hedonism is exactly "enlightened". Since you want to speak in extremes so will I. Being a reserved, rational, moral, frugal, and spiritual individual is not backwards. Discipline and the desire to follow your faith convictions etcetera does not make a person nut bag.

    well,
    so, somehow dna enters the picture. explain to me why a protozoa has so many chromosomes if life is a progression toward a higher order? fancy words like deoxyribonucleic acid might impress the uninformed. I know that all dna does is explain biology. It doesn't do much to bolster the case that we "evolved" from pond goo. You missed my point entirely. To state declaratively that a "theory" that really doesn't hold up to cynical scrutiny as the entire answer is no answer. I understand the merits of the theory and it can make a narrow mind comfortable to just accept it. However, I do not feel that it answers the fundamental question of how it all came to be as there is no fossil evidence to support this long term development that supposedly took place. It also fails to be able to demonstrate how these supposed mutations survived as nature is notoriously cruel to mutation. Mules can't breed for example. I just am saying that because a "zillion" people say something such as the world is flat it isn't fact. Evolution is really a hypothesis not a theory in my mind. A good one yes, definitely a piece of the puzzle yes, an answer to life the universe and everything No. I think I read that its 42 somewhere. So cutting off debate and declaring the problem solved is not science it is just as much theology as saying harry thunder invented the world. That is my point,

  20. its all fantasy on Ben Stein's 'Expelled' - Evolution, Academia and Conformity · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    From what i am reading here I am sure this will never see the light of day but, here goes. I read post after post indicating that you have to be a moonbat to take anything but evolution seriously. This all based on the fact that the "experts" agree. Well let me draw an analogy that will work here, "according to the experts windows is the best operating system"! Now after visiting oh say 1,000 mainstream websites on the subject of computing it could be pretty safe to run around and state rather authoritatively windows is the source of all computer greatness. Oh, sure there is a group of nutbags that keep mumbling irrationally about bsd and linux but, the experts assure us that they are fanatics and there is nothing whatsoever to what they are saying. I know what I believe, and I also know, that enough people are full of crap on a wide variety of topics, and that they pontificate about pure dribble in front of some pretty impressive backdrops to add legitimacy to their bunk. So much of what is declaratively said by "scientists" is based on a long convoluted rube goldberg set of suppositions and extrapolations that accepting what they say as the incontrovertible truth, and therefore the final word, makes you an idiot. I am not agreeing with intelligent design but, I do agree with what I think is the premise of the movie which is, a lot of scientists that espouse theories are really narrow minded self important megalomaniacs that in all reality have no definitive answers. Especially when they insist that anyone that disagrees with their "facts" is a poopy head.

    blah blah blah,
    I grew up in the 70's and went to urban schools, or should I say that I dropped out of urban schools. I am short, have blond hair and blue eyes and got real tired of being beaten because someone wanted to avenge kunta kintes' honor. In all fairness the kids i went to school with certainly weren't what I encounter today. Yes people in lollipop land i still live in a neighborhood that is mostly black. Racism is a 2 way street. Its liberal soft racism, the rephrasing of things like oh, say welfare into a new thing called an entitlement via the term public assistance that has created the mess that some well meaning folks want to call racial relations. You can apologize, rationalize and grovel all you want to from your white suburb about how enlightened you are till you are blue in the face. I say you don't have the first clue what you are talking about. Every day I am expected to feel sorry for the poor black man who is under represented here and there over this and that and I am frankly tired of it. I associate with people that I have something in common with. I don't see a group of white people with shaved heads and swastika tattoos and say to myself ooh, let me run over and hang out with the white guys. The same is true with the people that I work with. If people insist on being dreadful to be around I will figure out a way to get rid of them. This may, and has included removing myself from the situation. I am so sick and tired of people trying to put the fact that some are just not willing to make any effort yet, they are shocked that no one wants to be around them or wants them around. Its not a race thing it is a behavior thing!
