Forum: Coffee House Thread: The smoldering at Evc Message #: 58 A perfect description of the reason "other sources of knowledge" can be dismissed by science. What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy

Looking around I'm not sure I'm worthy but I do appreciate the recognition. Thanx, again.

Forum: Social Issues and Creation/Evolution Thread: Science, Religion, God – Let’s just be honest Message number: 164 A stunning clarification of the atheist view point that was both profound and concise. This bit had me thinking well beyond the normal haunts of my brain.
Great post! Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Fixed message link, which was to an entirely different topic. Also fixed topic title while I was at it. "You were not there for the beginning. You will not be there for the end. Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative" William S. Burroughs

Probably just a bit of bad tofu. "If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads."

I can't devise any credible reason for doing that on purpose, so I'll go with the truth: I plead innocent by reason of brandy. "If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads."

Forum: Geology and the Great Flood Thread: Why the Flood Never Happened Message #: 981 of 1896 Hat tip to Percy, who pointed this message out here (and also copped a great graphic). This message was back in January 2014, but messages were piling up fast and I totally missed it. Now I've added the 10th (+) to it. Just epic (not epoch). Maybe the entire Depositional Models of Sea Transgressions/Regressions - Walther's Law topic in one message (and more). Probably up there with the best evcforum.net messages ever.

Forum: Coffee House Thread Title: An Open Letter to all Atheists Message No: Message 4 Very few people seem to understand that the First Amendment was intended to protect government from religion AND to protect religion from government. With both an admirable economy of words and delightful use of metaphors, Omnivorous makes this point as clearly as one can. Now if only Christian Dominionists and their followers could understand and appreciate the point. Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. -- Thomas Jefferson We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate Howling about evidence is a conversation stopper, and it never stops to think if the claim could possibly be true -- foreveryoung

First I ranted at length, then I chopped. The rant comes easily; the economy, not so much. Thanks for the nod, and especially for those kind words. "If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads."

Forum: The Coffeehouse Thread: Evolution falsifies God/s? Message: Message 49, Re: Some more basics on evolution RAZD for his post Message 49, Re: Some more basics on evolution in Evolution falsifies God/s?. Sure, it's another longish post (though not as long as other RAZD posts I have seen), but it does slamdunk the creationist view rather thoroughly again.

Forum: Is It Science? Thread: SCIENCE: -- "observational science" vs "historical science" vs ... science. Message: Message 281 Re: Siccar Point hbd lays out a clear procedure to convince opponents that an alternate hypothesis (in this case, the biblical flood) explains the geological evidence better than the current theory. He masterfully contrasts the wrong way and the right way with multiple examples of each. Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Added the part after "July 2014" to the subtitle. What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy
