However, it is assuming the relative uniformity of (something, again some forgotten words). The standard Big Bang model, even if this were the case, is actually evidence of god, not an argument against him. Is this kinda correct, Buz?

Dno't riun my signichoor!

Percy writes: Buz just offered up another example in Message 70: Buzsaw in Message 70 writes:I'm trying to correlate the first paragraph of your message. Would you please explain it to me so as to correlate the sentences in it? Correlate? CORRELATE??? My guess is that Buzsaw didn't understand something about my first paragraph, and he's asking me to clarify, but he's not specific, and after reading that paragraph over several times I'm unable to identify a place where I was unclear or ambiguous. I might have been wrong in my conclusions, but I think I was very clear. I'm confused as to how the message 11 which you cited correlated the statement relative to Dr Adequate & me. Also I didn't correlate "Fullhouse, Joey" et al with that about Dr Adequate and me. You didn't link what you were referring to as to Dr Adquate's message. All in all, it made me wonder if you had had a few too many. BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW. The Immeasurable Present Eternally Extends the Infinite Past And Infinitely Consumes The Eternal Future.

Some of the longest threads in EvC Forum history began this way. To you and Larni, I find it hard to believe after such a period of time you still cannot understnad his points Are you sure your goal is not to represent us in a certain light?

To you and Larni, I find it hard to believe after such a period of time you still cannot understnad his points The primary problem in this case is not meaningless word salads (though he has a knack for that, too). As has been said a couple times upthread, Buz produces high quality writing, and I did not include Buzsaw in my list of most incomprehensible creationists. I guess it would be more accurate so say that it's not so much a problem understanding Buz as much as it's Buz understanding everyone else, e.g., Message 79 where he doesn't understand the "Joey" explanation, and evidently couldn't or wouldn't follow the link to Message 11 in the Logical Question: | willing | not[willing] |able | not[able] | thread. --Percy

Buz frequently suffers from word-of-the-day-itis. He'll discover a new word and use it, usually incorrectly, where ever he can. For example; his use of correlate in this thread.It's not enough to bash in heads, you've got to bash in minds soon I discovered that this rock thing was true Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet All of a sudden i found myself in love with the world And so there was only one thing I could do Was ding a ding dang my dang along ling long - Jesus Built my Hotrod Ministry Live every week like it's Shark Week! - Tracey Jordan Just a monkey in a long line of kings. - Matthew Good If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist! - Get Your War On *not an actual doctor

2. Quick; what message does he refer to regarding Dr Adequate attempting to understand Buzsaw? quote: Edited by Buzsaw, : Change "Jonsey" to "Jonesy"BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW. The Immeasurable Present Eternally Extends the Infinite Past And Infinitely Consumes The Eternal Future.

Questioning how one sentence co-relates to another in the same paragraph is an incorrect application of the word? To be fair, you didn't ask how one sentence correlated to another; you asked how one sentence correlated.
quote: Correlate is transitive; you can't correlate something, you have to correlate it to something else. You have a tendency to throw around ten-dollar words before you've taken the time to understand them. It's a barrier to your efforts to communicate clearly. Instead of trying to prove what a schmott guy you are all the time, why not focus on writing clearly? When ideas are important, the wise writer makes an effort to communicate them as clearly as possible. It's when ideas have no merit, typically, that the verbal flourishes are used.

Buz frequently suffers from word-of-the-day-itis. He'll discover a new word and use it, usually incorrectly, where ever he can. For example; his use of correlate in this thread. That is a very dangerous practice to undertake. For example, in a discussion on the CompuServe forum for scouting regarding religious discriminatory actions (despite officially published policies) of Boy Scouts of America, Inc, I misused the word "dissemble". At the time it seemed to fit what I wanted to describe, that I was "waffling" on terminology, wheras in reality it implied a deliberate attempt to deceive, which is not at all what I meant. In the Walsh trial in Chicago circa 1991, a BSA spy printed out select postings on CompuServe and relayed them on to BSA's legal team, who presented them as evidence in a federal trial. Needless to say, I got raked over the coals for that, along with a typo in which I had not typed in the work "not". It is always vitally important to ensure that we are using the correct words for the meaning that we intend to convey. If you don't, then it will come back to haunt you at the worst possible moment.

Too funny.
Co-relate? Co-relate? Did you actually use that term in a discussion where adults were present? Do you know what the term relate means? Would you like to explain what "co-relate" might mean? This should be enlightening.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Decipher to me how all of the sentences co-relate (correlate) to one another in the first paragraph of Percy's Message 64.
Are you incapable of reading?
Questioning how one sentence co-relates to another in the same paragraph is an incorrect application of the word? Please explain.
Crashfrog answered this. You correlate thing A to thing B (or more), to say:
I'm trying to correlate the first paragraph of your message. Would you please explain it to me so as to correlate the sentences in it?
is using correlate incorrectly.
Quick; what message does he refer to regarding Dr Adequate attempting to understand Buzsaw?
Follow the "This message is a reply to:" links at the bottom of the messages to find out.

The standard Big Bang model, even if this were the case, is actually evidence of god, not an argument against him. Is this kinda correct, Buz? If you read my uniformity statement carefully in context, what the "something" is follows it. Huntard, apparently you have the same comprehension skills that Percy accuses me of. What you've done above is to segmentize apart phrases from my message so as to render it difficult to correlate the segments readily. The statement should not be difficult to comprehend by anyone having a knowledge of the terms in it relative to the zero event, ontology sub-microscopic chaos, expansion, observable order, etc. Buz's statement: "The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order............" Huntard, there's no reason anyone familiar with the terms in this statement, by a careful and thoughtful read of it, shouldn't be able to comprehend it. In it's original context, the "above example" was directly above the statement in the thread. The zero event does premise the alleged BB expansion. No? Anyone can cherry pick out the faults of others. Your message quoted above says this: "What Buz menat to writes:" . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW. The Immeasurable Present Eternally Extends the Infinite Past And Infinitely Consumes The Eternal Future.

What does "segmentize" mean, Buz? (hint: it's not what YOU think it means)
ontology sub-microscopic chaos What DOES this mean? {abe}Huntard has an excuse...HE'S DUTCH! English isn't his native tongue. What's your excuse?
