All About Eccentricity
Geez, Brad..you started a topic about yourself and the started the first four posts as well! OK, I'll bite:
Here are some questions for you:
1) When one meets you in person, are your verbal conversations anything like your written conversations or is there a distinct difference?
2) What were you like in High School?
3) What is your current passion regarding your field of study?

Convictions are very different from intentions. Convictions are something God gives us that we have to do. Intentions are things that we ought to do, but we never follow through with them.

Re: All About Eccentricity
Mike, I also thought that Brad was clear and concise in his explanatory response to my queries...but...I don't believe that he owes anyone anything! Brad is just Brad and shall always be thus....
It is good to be able to get to know the man behind the curtain, however....and I am glad that we all are getting to share our observations about life and human development in general.
Mr. McFall.....one more question: Are you optimistic about the future of humanity?

Sometimes, I want to drag the converstation into "metaphysics", sometimes... I just want to be understood.
Occasionally, I have the discipline to attempt to understand complex scientific disciplines that are way way over my head!
Is this an acceptable definition of Panbiogeography?
Answers.com writes:
Panbiogeography is an intricately related offshoot of biogeography. Biogeography is the study of how very similar organisms are distributed throughout a region, and panbiogeography studies how organisms came to be in a particular location. Panbiogeography figuratively “connects the dots” that biogeography makes.
Brad writes:
Indeed, I am optimistic about the future.
Thats what I wanted to hear! I try to be optimistic as well! None of that Armageddon belief system for me! We need more kids taking an interest in the pursuit of scientific disciplines such as the many that you lovingly embrace!
On a seemingly unrelated note, I have a question that you may provide some insight towards:
Of all the animals, why are humans the only animal that wears clothes?

Seriously, Phat, are you so desperate to prove that there is some godly purpose to us that you are willing to use obviously BS arguments?
My question was primarily directed at Mr. McFall, whose input I value. I was not necessarily implying any sort of a Godliness argument at all. I was merely wondering why humans are so unique from other animals.... Im not always a fundie, ya know!

There really isn't anything that humans do that other animals don't also do. We may do it differently, more efficiently, etc., but that doesn't make us unique.
Welcome back, Rrhain! Nice to see your smiling logic once again.
So humans are not that unique, eh?
You must admit that we have accomplished many tasks that any ordinary animal could never do.
