But was Cruz just being Ionic ?
Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

Just listened to an episode of this on the drive in to work today:
BBC Radio 4 - Rob Newman, Robert Newman's Entirely Accurate Encyclopaedia of Evolution Available for free on the BBC iPlayer, and worth a listen for some smiles. (Basically, a stand-up/sketch show, around evolution).Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ? |

They work well as they are - easier to find than simple text. And with some of our members having visual impairments, that helps, I'm sure.

Following my previous post, I got a bit creative:
To the tune of A Bag of Weed from Family Guy Now everybody gather round and listen if you could,When I tell you there are people here obsessed with Yahweh's wood, Every thread they fill, every post they pen, eventually you'll find, References to the dangly bits, of a supernatural kind 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ! The letter UThe letter U Penus is spelled better with the letter U When you got no science No, not even woo, Well penus is spelled better with the letter U When evolution's being discussed, they'll claim it's racist talk,When holes are drilled in Noah's Ark, they'll say if floats like cork, When faced with science, they deny it all, with numerology, But no matter what, they'll come around, to the word that starts with P ! 1 2 3 ! The letter UThe letter U Penus is spelled better with the letter U When you got no science No, not even woo, Well penus is spelled better with the letter U Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ? |

Have we really reached a low where a Mercedes owner cannot remember to plug his car in when it is not on the road? Well, they stopped bothering to connect the indicator controls to the lights on BMW's years ago, on the basis it was a waste of perfectly good electrical wire.Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

This thought occurred to me, after I read posts the other day about the soft dinosaur tissue find.
The difference between science and YEC A three legged sheep is born. Scientists look for a scientific explanation as to why this differs from the norm. YECs argue that this shows that for the past few millennia, sheep have been quietly making, fitting and gamboling about on a false fourth leg, the sneaky little buggers !

The secret service have had to be trained to stop Trump from falling in wet cement. Apparently, it would set a very bad precedent....

I do love learning other languages. I've learned French and German, with French being the better for me. (Plus a little bit of Russian). It's something that both expands your mind, and also shows an appreciation and respect for other cultures and people.
(I did in my late teens/early 20s have a French girlfriend for a little while. I spent years waiting to do so, but last year, I finally got to say a line I'd been waiting for ages to say, when explaining to a French shopkeeper that I had a French girlfriend in my youth, then going on to say: "Et avoir une amie Française, c'est quelque chose qui améliore sa langue." Sadly, it didn't work as well as I'd hoped - but I'll try again sometime).Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?
