Thanks Tanypteryx. My first POTM nomination and my first reprimand for being off topic, both within a 24 hour period.
![]() HBD Whoever calls me ignorant shares my own opinion. Sorrowfully and tacitly I recognize my ignorance, when I consider how much I lack of what my mind in its craving for knowledge is sighing for... I console myself with the consideration that this belongs to our common nature. - Francesco Petrarca "Nothing is easier than to persuade people who want to be persuaded and already believe." - another Petrarca gem. Ignorance is a most formidable opponent rivaled only by arrogance; but when the two join forces, one is all but invincible.

Forum: Dates and Dating Thread: Validity of Radiometric Dating Message #: 123 It's mostly a copy/paste from "Talk Origins", but it's pretty pointless to rewrite someone elses perfect rebuttal of Humphreys' "excess Helium problem". Or "Why you shouldn't badly use a bad radiometric dating method to find the age of a rock".

Forum: Education and Creation/Evolution Thread: Should we teach both evolution and religion in school? Message #: 271 Another dwise1 rerun, but a fine one. The creationist side gets their wish to have both evolution and creation covered in the same class, and suffer the adverse consequences. The creationist side then gets their wish that the class be shut down. AND MORE. Moose Edited by Minnemooseus, : AND MORE.

Message 366 in that horse beating Atheists can't hold office in the USA?
Not that I agree with his statements, which I do, but for the way he presents and justifies his point. Straggels nose how to rite. And in such a twisted useless puddle of muck to have such a gem? Thank you, oh god, thank you!
