Re: Postulating Poster Patterns
i have been known for my inherent lack of spelling and typing and pure laziness on the typo fixes. thankfully, do to finally initializing spellcheck software on this much to old computer, i can at least be readable. =)
sorry to those i have offended with my jabberwocky
in explanation: you grow what you use. an artist can refine the innate talent of art, such as a debater can exercise the art of debate.
scientist are better learned with more schooling than the average person. the higher education are more willing to accept Darwin theory to the letter, based on the scientific evidence which is broad.
however, even the less educated can point out that Darwin has a theory with missing links. and a person of faith will be greatly argumentative if you tell them life was random excluding even the willingness to say God is a possibility. even if they cant spell the word shit.
quote from a man dureing a debate on religion versus evolution:
"sheeeeet maaan what you be gone done trying to say that kinda stuff for maaan? look here, you can' tell me that dis here planet just done gone poof itself from nothin maaaan. that there is more foolish than sayin the world is flat!"

Re: Postulating Poster Patterns
true.
yet to debate a science you have to understand the fundamentals or you'll be talking to renowned cosmologists about gravity and rocks spinning around mountains.
i acknowledge that science is open to debate, but patrons should have at least a basic knowledge of a topic before they choose to debate it.

Re: Postulating Poster Patterns
it is equally frustrating when scientist will admit that their science is tentative, but will argue it as if it is not.

Re: Not Quite
Oh my god! Is this how we co-exist in the world? What if creationism was 50% true and evolution was 50% true? Neither can totally prove or disprove their claims. Haven't we agreed on that?
public opinion is that the opinion of the individual is whats important, and the individual opinion is that if your opinion isn't the right one, everyone else are fools.
its really a subconscious thing tho. most are not even aware there doing it.
i once saw a preacher talk about his church recently and said that if a 15 foot angel came down and said be here at church next Sunday and God is coming, that the church would be flooded.
i thought about that..and decided that less than half of anyone seeing that would bother showing up.
it makes m think of a cartoon idea i had, where a tall older looking man with long greying hair and a staff walks up to a man in an office chair and Say's : i am God. the man in the office chair swings around looks at him without much interest and Say's: i don't believe in God. while munching on a sandwich. the two look at each other , the man disinterested and the old man just studiously, then the old man Say's: " oh i get it, you don't exist" and zaps the man out of existence with his staff. the last caption is the old man walking up to another person saying "i am God."
the point is, even if someone was to show people beyond all shadow of a doubt that God is, that Jesus died for you, and even produced scientific proof, and physical proof, it wouldn't matter, because unless they have released some of their dogmatic views of the world, no other view will suffice regardless.

Re: Creationist Craziness
If you look at creationist arguments, you will often find they have an "any port in a storm" method of argumentation
this has truth, and is sad.
it is the analogy of the blind leading the blind. there is only one Christ, only one God. yet many different interpretations.
for instance, many who call themselves Christians speak of the glory the Christians will find when they stand before God having been good men and believed. but the truth is, glory belongs to God. and on the day we stand before him, those who come seeking their own glory will not find it. but those who come seeking Gods glory will find pure joy in having pleased God.
in the evolution argument, what christian has any power over your view? when so many don't even understand the christian principles to love their God, to humble themselves before him, and to love one another?
its scary. but the evolutionist will still find that their science does not support life, but is only an observation of a part of it. the foundation that supports all of existence, is the law of existence, which is the law of God. and how can i pass blame on any evolutionist for what they do not understand, when the Christians who proclaim God is, do not understand it either?
we are all to blame for our own blindness. because the truth has stood before us in eternity, and we have chosen to ignore it. i for so long, and others yet still, perhaps forever for them. but i have hope that somewhere, somehow, the blind will see, and the blind who lead the blind will see, and the world will know.

Re: Working At Improvement
Nator,as someone who has never even taken a reading comprehension exam (if I did I'm sure I failed miserably,)
I'm still laughing and i so love your honesty, it leaves me to question how you would interpret my own beliefs being so simple and honest. you are so refreshing, i hope coming here does not change that in you
we all have areas that need improvement, and as a human i salute you in acknowledging your own
