RrHain's answer
Forum: Coffee House Topic: Amendment # 28 to ban Gay marriage! Poster: Rrhain Post: 51 This one kind of shows up how badly some people can get locked inside the walls in their own head and be unable to see over them. And then it shows how silly it is.

I'll second that. I particularly like this line from Mammuthus's post. quote: Whereas those of strong faith can withstand the progress made by science in learning and characterizing the unknown without feeling that their faith is shaken or threatened, creationists cringe in fear and denial with every leap science makes.
Our man Skeptick (RIP) actually brought out the best in a couple of veteran posters, as this classic from Crashfrog shows: Name: Crashfrog Forum: Evolution Thread: always talking about microevolution Post #: 235 quote: I'm not too impressed with a worldview that only seems to be true just so long as you don't ever seriously entertain the idea that its false.

Shoot yourself in the foot award
Forum: Miscellaneous Topics in Creation/Evolution Thread: Darwinist Ideology Author: Syamsu Message: 80 quote: I'm sure that eventually reliable quotes will turn up saying the field is underdeveloped, and then once again it's shown that it's just another case of you talking about you being the expert and the other person knowing nothing, as you always do, no matter what either you or the other person actually knows.
If this is not up there with "the dog ate my homework" for poor excuses for not being able to back up ones assertions, then nothing is...ooo boy..just you wait..when I get that perpetual motion machine up and running with the swimming fin attached, I'll set it to spank your butt forever..just you wait and see. {Made the 80 a clickable link - AM} [This message has been edited by Adminnemooseus, 02-19-2004]

Name: Quetzal Post: Message 118 Quetzal, who has been sorely missed around here, both shows how Syamsu is wrong (like shooting fish in a barrel) and gives one of the most information dense rebuttals to come along in a while. Good stuff for anyone interested in extinction research. A definite post of the month. [This message has been edited by Mammuthus, 02-23-2004] [This message has been edited by Admin, 02-23-2004]
