    By all means, show us the facts, and that means repeatable observation available to all.
    Wait, you cannot as a religious person do this
    So I repeat, only the secular can engage in debate using reason.
    I give you the idiot William Lane Craig whose so-called Argument is merely the logical fallacy Petitio Principii (I don't know therefore... or "begging the question" where did first cause come from).

    Wrong. The university has both authority and declared purpose which, among other things, permits them to eject ANY nonenrolled student (think homeless wanderers) at will for violating the declared purpose of the University set down in the Charter.

    They are demeaning the value of the University reputation for scientific evidence AND the university is not a PUBLIC forum (that's why they charge tuition). No, this is NOT about 'free speech', this is about propaganda using the University's good name and reputation.

    Until it happens, all claims for any god simply fail the test of reality, that is, something observable to any person who duplicates the conditions of the observation

    Only secularists are convinced by the facts and are amenable to change thus, YES, reason and debate are only available to the secular.

    This isn't about free speech. The idiots can make whatever claim they wish but NOT using the School in propaganda.
    Most socialists, like most Capitalist Running Dogs, can be convinced by evidence (see David Brooks and Milton Friedman for examples of both)
    Religionists cannot, therefore have no place in claiming to 'debate'

    Creationism is not an opinion in the academic sense of the word

    When he spoke at Georgetown about civil seizure, standards of evidence and double jeopardy, his answer was, and here I paraphrase, No one is being punished. The money is being punished and so the Constitution does not apply.

    Gave you the link from THAT TIME.
    The only revisionism was your claim that SADDAM ejected the inspectors
    As the NY Times story illustrated (as quoted by USA today), it was BUSH who gave the order.
    Bush had no right at all to remove those NON WEAPONS, those DECAYED LEFTOVERS that were fully declared by Saddam's Government and the intel handed to Blix

    Why is anyone talking anything but how many years imprisonment for all of senior management for all companies involved?
    Seriously, you want honest companies obeying the law, ENFORCE THE LAW with maximum penalties for all involved. ALL.
    If Larry Ellison really did conspire, he belongs in prison, 100% of his income for the last 18 years seized, 300% of corporate gains attributed to lost wages seized and all HR and accountants involved imprisoned or flipped.

    "help women be more productive as human beings" is NOT the same as the result of this process.

    Less hours, so the burnout and failure rate would go down. Which, surprlsingly, is exactly what happened Post-Strike when Raygun initiated the national slowdown until he could work in his scab labor.

    Right. They walked off without one second of warning, no prior negotiations and no days to prepare.
    Oh, wait, that is false.
    What DID happen was Raygun saved his bacon by putting overworked, out of practice supervisors on the desk, replacing supervisors with persons entirely unfamiliar with ATC, and then ramming through at least 4 unqualified ATC's.
