Re: arachnophilia for two great posts in a row.
I'd like to second and third that nomination.
Arach is really posting some great stuff in that thread.
It certainly makes certain people unhappy when someone who actually knows hebrew comes along

I know a lot of people have compared Archy and the Hoatzin, but "sharing many features" may be stretching it a bit. Us Evilutionists need to be more careful than most when it comes to streatching a point with the creos.

Brilliantly laid out. I've been noticing a lot of this sort of problem cropping up.
I've had a fuzzy logic chip installed, btw...

"The good Christian should beware the mathematician and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of hell." - St. Augustine

schraf and responsibility
message 279 of rat mothers
Yeah, it's really bad when health care professionals assume that the women seeking abortions are responsible adults, able to make sound, informed decisions all on their own.
All that you've said leads me to believe that you want the culture to be your parent.
Well, it isn't. Not in a democratic society, anyway. You are an adult, and you have to make your own decisions as an adult, not as a child looking to avoid responsibility at every turn.

RAZD takes down IC (again)
I know I have seen this argument before (probably by RAZD as well) but it is still the best refutation of irreducible complexity I have read.

Another wonderful sentence that describes beautifully the weird wackiness that is the Uncertainty Principle/quantum indeterminancy:
The answer does not exist until the question is asked.

Faith in the abstinance only thread
Message 230
Though I may disagree on a number of issues, I have to point out that this is one of the most clear and well organized posts I have seen Faith make. Well done, on topic, progressing the discussion, and respectful.

Of course, biblical creationists are committed to belief in God's written Word, the Bible, which forbids bearing false witness; --AIG (lest they forget)

holmes in the abstainance only thread
Message 245
My main idea is that while we are certainly personal philosophical enemies, your ad hominem against my beliefs reflecting my vision of your own, we do not have to disagree on the teaching of clinical knowledge regarding the body to those who lack such knowledge.
*applaud*
Awesome. It is very rare that an argument tends toward common ground in this place.

the rat in 254 of why atheists don't believe
Maybe when God looks down at us, he doesn't even see all the religions.
i think more people should just think about that statement for a while.
