Re: I guess I need to chip in here.
This one was something I couldn't help laughing about. It was comical.

Organ transplantation, electrical appliances, arms manufacturing, pig farming, etc. then.....ages of rocks. A whole list of useful human activity, then...ages of rocks. If the scientific community has established as fact that the earth is 4.5 billion years old, why do they continue to be fascinated with...ages of rocks? Is it for useful, practical purposes, or is it to fine-tune todays atheist science education?
Well, I don't think mark9000 has ever been involved in any geological exploration projects...yet, he likes the results of mining. Has he ever thought of how those minerals he uses are found in the first place and secondly mined? Does he realise that the ages of rocks are essential for our exploration projects to even start?

I could propose a one-on-one with anyone who wanted to do it, but I've proposed about 5 one-on-one's here in my few years of membership, and seen nothing but asses and elbows each time. The latest proposal for a one-on-one with to "Pressie" just a few weeks ago, and I got a PM indicating her decline, complete with a dirty word she just had to use to describe me.
Now that you mentioned my pm, it read:
I really don't have the patience to partipate in a debate with a person I consider to be bat shit crazy. No offence meant, but that's how I feel.
I follow these threads to learn from knowledgable people. For example, in this thread I've learned a lot from people who know a lot more than me about the subject and also know where to get good, reliable references.
Where I live the word shit is not a dirty word. It is the word we generally use for the act and the results of a biological process.
The people here can decide what they think of that message.
Your posts since then have really reinforced my view about you. Actually, I think I was too kind to you.
By the way, I'm a him.
