Thank you guys.
I will concede it was a little puerile, but look what I had to work with ;-)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 ? |

Not a post of the month more a general observation of Faith's posts over the years.
Perhaps it's because her posts are now set in perspective next to another outrageous creationist that's currently spewing garbage over several threads, but her continual attempts to set her ideas within known science in several disciplines need to be recognised if not lauded. She's utterly wrong in every post but she responds to most questions, she's consistent and mostly, I think, honest in her arguments. As a raging loony creationist, she's a good 'un and I think we're lucky to have her. Amen. Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Add subtitle.Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien.

As a raging loony creationist, she's a good 'un and I think we're lucky to have her. Her writing is legible. I always disagree with her but I understand what she is saying. What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy The reason that we have the scientific method is because common sense isn't reliable. -- Taq

Well thank you. I had to think twice before thanking you for a post that calls me a loony but hey, the compliments are very nice and I can't expect better. Thanks again.

General Discussion Of Moderation Procedures (aka 'The Whine List') Message 971 Puts down a long list of what PC really means. It just means being careful to keep from offending people with your language of classifying people into groups. You don't call people "loony leftists" or "crazy creationists" or even a "raging loony creationist" (unless you want to offend people) when simply using "leftist" and "creationist" will do. Faith of course calls it "bogus revisionist lies" and completely misses the point, being one of the worst offenders on this forum, and showing that nobody is completely useless ... they can always serve as a bad example. This argument between Faith and others has been going on for years, and I found it refreshing to read JonF's list of the actual meanings and usages for the term. Enjoy Edited by RAZD, : added example from a previous postby our ability to understand Rebel☮American☆Zen☯Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

Herebedragons on creationist quote-mining and honesty
Message 1170Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge. Belief gets in the way of learning--Robert A. Heinlein In the name of diversity, college student demands to be kept in ignorance of the culture that made diversity a value--StultisTheFool It's not what we don't know that hurts, it's what we know that ain't so--Will Rogers If I am entitled to something, someone else is obliged to pay--Jerry Pournelle If a religion's teachings are true, then it should have nothing to fear from science...--dwise1 "Multiculturalism" demands that the US be tolerant of everything except its own past, culture, traditions, and identity. Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other points of view--William F. Buckley Jr. |

I would agree that this is POTM material except I would have left off the last line:
Like every thread Faith offers, this one is a farce that tells us much more about her than it does the purported topic. Keep them coming. Otherwise, the post makes a valid argument.Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. —RC Sproul "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." —Mark Twain " ~"If that's not sufficient for you go soak your head."~Faith Paul was probably SO soaked in prayer nobody else has ever equaled him.~Faith ![]()

Post: message 2106 Therad: The Trump Presidency In: Coffee House Normally I don't suck up to the boss (just ask my current one, I'd rather retire than serve that !@#$%^& another day, which is exactly what I'm doing). However for Percy I feel compelled to make an exception, particularly in this case (among some others). Yes call them out and shame them anytime and anywhere they rear their heads in public with this caveat: limit the time to one minute or less. Even the least among us are entitled to their basic human rights, one of which is to be left in peace while dining, free of continuous harassment. Thanks for pointing that out, Percy. POTM.

Post: message 3626 Thread: The Trump Presidency In: Coffee House Hasn't been a POTM in a long time. Now here's one. Moose ps - This is also an example of of proper link that does not go to the right message. Well, at first it goes to the correct message, then jumps to somewhere else. Look downthread for 3626. Edited by Minnemooseus, : Get "dwise1" into subtitle.

Forum: Coffee House Thread: Climate Change Denier comes in from the cold: SCIENCE!!! Message #: Message 621, Message 622 Taq patiently explains why 7 billion people exhaling is not a significant contribution towards climate change and why Marc 9000 needs to stop being afraid of the science behind it as if it is attacking his liberty. A great example of arguing the position and not attacking the person.The only way I know to drive out evil from the country is by the constructive method of filling it with good.Calvin Coolidge "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " As the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, so the denial of God is the height of foolishness.-RC Sproul, Essential Truths of the Christian Faith - You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do. Anne Lamott Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.~Andre Gide |

This topic has been idle for a couple of years. I saw a great post today and thought about our old POTM. Lo and behold it was again Taq who also won the last nomination posted here. I will say Taq that you exhibit great tact and diplomacy in your posts. Very well done. (and i just so happen to agree with his conclusions!
