Re: A post worthy of inclusion here
Actually, I'd rather think the following deserves commendation: quote:
To: Coyoteman Whenever a Darwinian materialist (that’s you) argues radiocarbon dating (or any scientistic theories, for that matter)he is placing the cart before the horse. Before he can argue scientistic theory, he must establish before all else exactly how it is that a soulless meat machine at the mercy of natural forces whose brain is mysteriously implanted with ‘thought’ by an impersonal intelligence hovering somewhere in the unseen realm knows anything? After all, materialism, like it’s flip-side pantheism, posits that man is nothing more than a tiny, insubstantial part of Nature, variously called Dialectical Matter (Marx’s divinized Matter Entity), Elan Vital, the Absolute, Overmind, the Force, etc.Lacking soul, mind, conscience, reason, and free will, the meat machine is fully caused and determined by unseen forces of Nature. Hence it is merely a puppet dancing to the tune of unseen forces. Whatever words come out of its mouth were put there by Something Else. As there is no ‘you,’ it is this Something Else which speaks of radiocarbon testing. Coyoteman is merely a body tagged with the name Coyoteman. 709 posted on Tuesday, December 30, 2008 4:47:26 PM by spirited irish
Commendation for (1) confusing science and philosophical bullshit (this is why sometimes I don't like philosophical bullshitters) and (2) trying to sound smart by using big words where unnecessary. The latter we usually find in a college english or philosophy paper. It just shows immaturity. Added by edit. Thanks a lot for planting the idea into my head. I had to go see what's new on Fundies say the darnest things. quote: fagots always lie and say "I am straight and believe gays need to be shown more respect from straight people." The reason they lie when promoting their fag lifestyle is because they know that as fags, no one gives them a dime's worth of respect. Who in their right mind would respect two anal-copulating men? God in the Holy Bible says they who do that must be put on death-row. NAMBLA is the name of the big gay pedophile club. Look it up online if you don't believe it. And NAMBLA admits its gay. ---- A male or female growing up without a dad essentially grew up unloved by 50%. No one can give what a good father has to offer. A child must have a fair and balanced start in life learning from loving parents who love one another not two rug-doctors or two proctologists. A woman or man not having had a fair and balanced up bringing will be "colorblind" to the richness she or he never had. Unbalanced children must work extra hard to fit-in, but as GLBT they see blind eye to blind eye. ---- Jesus the Son of God spoke (He is the Word of God)fire & brimstone upon the gay & lesbian communities of Sodom & Gomorrah. Jesus said, "I and the Father are One." One in Spirit, One in purpose, and One in agreement. Jesus also said that He came not to do away with God's laws, that includes the law of God to put practitioners of same-sex on death-row fast-track.

Yes, we know how you feel, buzsaw. quote: Original sin happens because a man and a woman have sexual intercourse and this is not cleanly because lots of fluids are secreted, and uncleanlyness is a sin. On top of that, when you are born, you come out of a vagina with a lot of goo all over you and that too is unclean and is a sin. So double sin really. But the Baptism will wash the sins of birth away.
Hahahaha. Wow. quote: {responding the the islamic nations opposition to UN condemnation of anti-homosexual laws} I never thought I'd say this, but for once I agree with the Muslim nations.
quote: To the so called atheist's out there, can one person give me an explanation as to how it all began ? At what point did baboons transition into humans and how did this happen? Man can only come from man. A horse can only come from another horse not a chicken. Big bang, talk about a fairy tale. There had to have been a creator
Haha, and I suppose a creator came from some other creator? quote: I think it's time for another holocaust. This time, instead of Jews, how about atheists. We urgently need to round up all atheists in the world and lead them to the chambers. Our world would be such a better place.
Haha. quote: why do all these atheists look like serial killers? you can see the evil in their eyes. They are just empty! they have satanic dark enegy.

Re: Look to the heavens... Now!!!
I saw Venus, Luna and something else (Mars?) low in the sky to the South West on my way home from work a few weeks ago. Really impressive: it was a quarter moon with Venus and (maybe Mars) hanging below it (both within a relative Luna diameter of the Moon). Venus looked massive.

Re: Look to the heavens... Now!!!
That's the conjunction I was refering to in message 11 - it was Jupiter, not Mars. It was a very major conjunction, and I was completely oblivious to it until I saw it myself! It made waves all over the world, and interestingly coinicided with the death of the guru, Adi Da Samraj ;) There's some pictures on Wiki

Re: Look to the heavens... Now!!!
Hey cavediver, I got to see it! Last night there was a nice big bright-as-fuck star about an inch or two away from the moon. It was really cool!

Re: Look to the heavens... Now!!!
In case anyone was concerned, I should point out that nice big bright-as-fuck star |
is the globally accepted astrophysical term for what laymen call "Venus". about an inch or two away from the moon |
And we do indeed now use inches as the fundemental units of angular separation. Told ya :D

Re: Look to the heavens... Now!!!
We just looked. Venus next to the Moon and then Jupiter and Mercury side by side just above the horizon. Absolutely amazing. I thought Mercury was Mars until my wife showed me a picture from the web. I've never seen it so bright. It's good we learned to look up and wonder.

Couldn't see that, mother nature decided it was time for a snowstorm.

Re: Look to the heavens... Now!!!
Ah Bluescat, you really missed out man. It was amazing seeing the Moon, Venus, Mercury and Jupiter all in your field of vision. With all those planets visible, it was really easy to see where everything lined up along the solar plane. Me and my friends drug out the 16" telescope for the veiwing. Worth every second of it.

Was up visiting friends and we went for a walk in the evening to get a last look at the houses who had lights up. We took their four-year-old and saw the bright planet in the sky. "So, what's that planet?" I was asked. Partly because of having a small child to show off to and partly because my brain really does work this way, the words coming out of my mouth were as follows: "Well, it isn't Mars because it isn't red. It isn't Jupiter because it isn't yellow. It isn't Saturn because it isn't deeper yellow. It isn't Uranus because my eyes aren't that good to see it and Uranus never gets that bright. It isn't Mercury because it's too far from the sun. Therefore, it must be Venus." Yes...I'm unable to simply say, "That's Venus." No, I have to go through all the things that it is not and by process of elimination, figure out what it is.

Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.
