Nobody is surprised to have you confirm what a cowardly scumbag maggot you are! All the legitimate questions that you were asked to answer, you simply evaded because the only honest answer you could give was that you were a Superstitious Fundy Freak who hated the fact that Science destroyed your illusions and brought the Real World down on your misshapen and vacuous head.

So without legitimate and honest discussion…what was left for you? Exactly! Nothing but infantile insults! Thus was Free Speech your deadliest enemy. Thus did you hate an open market of ideas with the same bigotry and hostile passion that you hated Science.

So when SI removed your immunity from free speech retorts to your asinine and puerile bigotries, mispresentations, and attacks against thread discussion, these good people left you exposed for the shallow and uneducated little half-pint you truly are!

Even now when you could stand up and be a man and answer honest questions about Science and Superstition without exercising that ugly hate-mouth you are so well known for, you are choosing instead to continue being a useless mouthpiece of bigotry. As the parting shots of an unmitigated coward hiding behind keyboards and skirts, you heroically toss off libels regarding homosexuality, pederasty, pedophilia, penis size (a new one!), bigotry--and ever other allegation your stunted vocabulary and fractured character could conceive of with your best efforts. Truly the most ugly and worthless fellow I have ever come across! Don’t let the door hit your butt on the way out you butt-sniffing, superstitious Fundy!

AND JUST SO YOU NEVER FORGET!

You famously said, "No one is here to "discredit science".

Let me test that to see if you are lying again!

Did Egyptian magicians turn the Nile River into blood? Whose?

Did a donkey talk a human language in the bible? What language?

Was there light and days and nights on earth before there was a sun for the earth to circle around?

Was there a flood on earth that covered the highest mountains with water?

Did somebody named Adam give a name to all the animals?

Did fish exist before insects?

Is the earth less than 10,000 years old?

Is the earth the same age as the universe?

Did God kill all the first born in Egypt so that every single house in Egypt had a dead person in the morning?

Does a rabbit chew its cud?

Are blindness and other infirmities caused by "Demons"?

Science says that all the following "events" did not happen. If you deny the truth of science then you most assuredly are here to discredit science!

Answer all of these questions in favor of Science...OR NOT! Cat got your tongue?!!

Do you admit that the earth is more than 4 BILLION years old!

Do you admit that the earth is more than 4 BILLION years old!

GREAT! So do you admit that Solomon did NOT sacrifice 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep in one week. This would have been 15 animals a minute, for 24 hours a day--seven days straight! One animal every 4 seconds! An animal cannot be ritually sacrificed that quickly!

Good for you for finally starting to honor Science against these risible tales of fancy from pre-scientific times!!

Baby steps for you....don't fall! :-)

EXCELLENT! FANTASTIC! So you admit that you cannot drink deadly poison without harm and be saved by a superstition! You admit you cannot handle deadly snakes with magical protection! Magic and science are somewhat...ummm...incompatible, shall we say!

17 "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

Science says that dinosaurs and humans lived MILLIONS of years apart. This is taught in the schools and universities by scientists from texts written by scientists. These are scientific facts.

Now you don't consider these facts to be "unscientific dogma" do you? You don't try to discredit these facts, do you? Because if you agree with the scientists, then you and I do not disagree. Because I also support these scientific facts just as you claim to!

Are there any scientific facts you would like to discredit such as the age of the universe or any little scientific fact whatsoever!? Otherwise, I guess you agree with me! Thanks!

So you admit that people and dinosaurs lived MILLIONS of years apart!? Not even close in time...RIGHT!! :-)

And you admit that various forms of life existed on earth for billions of years before humans evolved!

Baby steps for you!!

Fantastic! So you admit that life flourished on earth MILLIONS of years before humans evolved!!

Do you confess that "Adam" did NOT name the dinosaurs or grasshoppers or hawks because they all lived MILLIONS of years apart from humans!!

YEAH!!

Really great to hear that! So you admit that life happened on earth for over 3 billion years and flourished in multitudinous forms before humankind finally appeared on the scene!

And you admit that the universe is BILLIONS of years older than this big blue ball!

Science says that dinosaurs and humans lived millions of years apart. This makes the Genesis account fable and myth. Great to know that you have learned to respect science!

That is wonderful to hear! So have you come to terms then with the age of the earth? Do you understand that there was no day or week when the universe began because there was no solar system for billions of years to come!

When Science disproves the core stories in the bible, do you think that any of the bible can be considered credible or meaningful? Do you think mindlessly attending any church that babbles about fantasy and fairy tales is an adult use of your time??

Did some nut really kill 1000 men with the jawbone of an ass? Was it the same ass that talked?! Did Yahweh really show Moses his "Glory" by streaking?

Congratulations for not attacking Science. You have certainly improved your posture here... -g-

So you do know that "Adam" did not name the dinosaurs--right! -g-

So you do know he did not name pig and goat and buffalo and spider--right?! Heh heh

So why are you here? Will you join with the rational people here in discrediting the morons who DO come here to discredit Science? The morons who believe the earth and universe are the same age? The morons who blubber about how dinosaurs and people were created in the same week, even though Science knows they existed millions of years apart? The morons who claim that donkeys talked or that language developed at the Tower of Babies or that the "serpent" used to walk or fly before being forced to crawl?

Are you here to help Science discredit those superstitious Nimrods. Because Science and superstition are not bedfellows--don't you know!

Atta Boy! Now with the right attitude, you are going to learn all sorts of Scientific stuff quickly! You will learn that the earth and the universe are of different ages to the tune of about 9 BILLION years or so!

You will learn that almost all life on earth existed millions or billions of years before Homo Sapiens was ever terrified about falling off the edge of the earth!

You will learn the difference between real events and fanciful stories and superstitious tales! Excellent!

So, was there a flood a few thousand short years ago that covered every mountain top and killed all life on earth except for some carefully arranged livestock in a boat made of gopher wood! :-)

Feel free to expand your answer as much as you like!!

CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE!!!

So do you agree that science does not lead to nihilism? And that believing that science is the "most authoritative worldview or most valuable part of human learning" does not inevitably lead to nihilism?

And do you agree that the earth and the universe are not nearly the same age! :-)

And do you agree that no human ever came close to seeing a Brontosaurus!

What scientific dating methods do you find most effective for dating the paleontological eras alongside of the teachings of Evolutionary sciences? I love the statement of the Paleontological Society on Evolution. How about you? They have a good site. Would you like to join them?

The Paleontological Society Position Statement: Evolution

Evolution is both a scientific fact and a scientific theory. Evolution is a fact in the sense that life has changed through time. In nature today, the characteristics of species are changing, and new species are arising. The fossil record is the primary factual evidence for evolution in times past, and evolution is well documented by further evidence from other scientific disciplines, including comparative anatomy, biogeography, genetics, molecular biology, and studies of viral and bacterial diseases. Evolution is also a theory – an explanation for the observed changes in life through Earth history that has been tested numerous times and repeatedly confirmed. Evolution is an elegant theory that explains the history of life through geologic time; the diversity of living organisms, including their genetic, molecular, and physical similarities and differences; and the geographic distribution of organisms. Evolutionary principles are the foundation of all basic and applied biology and paleontology, from biodiversity studies to studies on the control of emerging diseases.

Because evolution is fundamental to understanding both living and extinct organisms, it must be taught in public school science classes. In contrast, creationism is religion rather than science, as ruled by the Supreme Court, because it invokes supernatural explanations that cannot be tested. Consequently, creationism in any form (including “scientific creationism,” “creation science,” and “intelligent design”) must be excluded from public school science classes. Because science involves testing hypotheses, scientific explanations are restricted to natural causes.

This difference between science and religion does not mean that the two fields are incompatible. Many scientists who study evolution are religious, and many religious denominations have issued statements supporting evolution. Science and religion address different questions and employ different ways of knowing.

The evolution paradigm has withstood nearly 150 years of scrutiny. Although the existence of evolution has been confirmed many times, as a science evolutionary theory must continue to be open to testing. At this time, however, more fruitful inquiries address the tempo and mode of evolution, various processes involved in evolution, and driving factors for evolution. Through such inquiry, the unifying theory of evolution will become an even more powerful explanation for the history of life on Earth.

You only need to honestly answer a couple of questions to expose who you are to this thread, and the why of your obnoxious presence here:

Is the earth several thousand years old? Or several billion?

Is the universe the same age as the earth? Or several billion years older?

Did humans and trilobites live at the same time? Or did life flourish on earth for billions of years before humans evolved?

Speak up, young man! This SCIENCE thread awaits your honesty with baited breath!

Were the earth and the universe created in the same week or are they billions of years apart in age?

Did a flood cover all the mountains of the world for a year while all Yahweh's children were deliberately murdered?

Did humans and dinosaurs live at the same time?

Easy questions for someone who does not want to discredit Science!

Hello! Anybody home!!

HELLO IN THERE!! PUSSY GOT YOUR TONGUE??
