I request a forum be made on the subject of my impending nuptials with Eliza Dushku, since that subject is central to maintaining my delusions.

Re: Why don't you all go to talk origins?
Despite the fact that the Nazi party taught children math, math continues to be taught in our schools to this day. Do we want to bring up our children as Nazis, with no moral compass?
Do you have any idea how much math was used in the concentration camps? Every time new prisoners were brought in, and every time they slaughtered people in the ovens, they had to add, subtract, or in some cases even multiply numbers. Obviously the ideology of math was responsible for the holocaust.

Re: Why don't you all go to talk origins?
quote:
The Nazi party did not teach math, which was taught in regular schools
I'm sorry, I was under the impression that the Nazi party was the party in government in Germany during World War II, and therefore responsible for the schools.
My bad, I guess.
But I see you do not deny that math was used in the concentration camps. You could even go so far as to say that the concentration camps could not have existed without math!
So, once again, the ideology of math must be responsible for the holocaust. Don't go pawning it off on darwinist ideology when mathematical ideology is so clearly to blame. How can one even discuss math without bringing up how it was applied in the holocaust?
quote:
I suppose
Ut.
You sure do. Quite a bit, in fact.
quote:
Forever the creation vs evolution controversy will be dominated by that history, which is why we can't be without a forum on Darwinist ideology.
For you, perhaps. For me, the whole thing is quite dominated by the beauty of Ms. Eliza Dushku. On one hand, she's got some pretty obvious reproductive advantages, which would tend to support natural selection. On the other hand, I look at her and am almost tempted to think there just might be a God after all.
Of course, this whole Eliza thing is just my personal obsession. So there's certainly no reason to, say, start devoting a whole forum to discussion of Eliza Dushku's excessive beauty. That would just be nuts.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to idly muse awhile on the subject of being "dominated" by Eliza Dushku.
And people say I don't understand the importance of Faith...

Re: Tru Boredom
Uch, can you believe she turned down doing a Buffy spin-off to do that pile of crap?
Regardless, I'll be right by her side to comfort her. Five hundred feet by her side, at least. Damn restraining order...

To ignore the broad links to the holocaust, in favour of making inane arguments about baseballbats and math.
So let me get this straight... if I say that, although you may think math has no ideology, the fact that the Nazis used math to accomplish their goals means that math does in fact have an ideology... an evil one at that... that sounds inane to you?
Go figure.

Which provides for better theory?
Whichever is better supported by the available evidence, of course.

It is not as clear as math, or gravity theory.
Don't be so hasty there. Every time you add 2 + 2, the prejudicial language of mathematical ideology prevents you from getting 5.
My goodness, what a morally bankrupt field of study. I don't care if it does equal 4, I want it to be 5. As long as it equals 4, the prejudicial nature of mathematical ideology should be obvious.
I want a whole forum devoted to claiming that 2 + 2 = 5.

Why would you want to discuss Janet Jackson's breasts when Eliza Dushku's magnificent, perfect breasts are right there?
Wait, wait, that's reproductive competition... OH CRAP, I'M GETTING PREJUDICIAL! SOMEBODY HELP ME!

For your information, standard Natural Selection theory is based around the one reproducing more then the other.
Gosh, that incredibly obvious factoid has sure brightened up my day.
Of course, it has the square root of f*ck-all to do with what you asked me, which was what the better theory would be, between two you outlined.
And I answered you: whichever is better supported by the available evidence.
And you seem to have a problem with this idea. May I ask why?

Obviously your prattle contributes nothing of intellectual interest
I was wondering how long it would take someone to notice that.

so please go to the unmoderated talk.origins. I'm quite sure your contributions will be much appreciated there, so why not go?
Syamsu, you might not want to go opening doors on this forum that lead to people thought of as ridiculous being driven out of town.
Just a little heads-up, y'know? Cuz I love you, big guy.

Well I'm not going to answer now how the one is better then another because that would be off-topic.
Then why in the name of holy buggering blistering toad-humping hell did you ask?

I'm just saying that subjects like that are of obvious importance in the creation vs evolution controversy. To investigate if a theory is really neutral, or if it carries some hidden prejudices that are ideologically derived and sustained.
And you're still not listening. The better theory is the theory supported by evidence. Case closed. You might prefer a different theory, but unless you have evidence to support it, tough. freakin'. luck.
You might as well try to investigate whether 2 + 2 is prejudiced against adding up to 5.

Re: Creationists goodguys, Evolutionists badguys
quote:
Evolutionists, specifically Darwinists, have produced very little knowledge in 150 years.
Especially if, every time you are shown knowledge produced, you cover your ears, close your eyes, and start yelling "can't hear you la la la la la!"
quote:
On the other hand creationists have been mainly been the defenders of common values, such as equality, the wonder of creativity, freedom of choice
So we can assume that major creationist groups will be actively defending gay marriage (equality) encouraging the government to give more money to the NEA (the wonder of creativity) and trying to strike down the new laws against abortion (freedom of choice)?
