Re: dark ages
Part of the problem is that people never get any training on how to do a search using the internet.For anything of value, you should always go straight to the advanced search on google. I have often held that it should be mandatory on all university courses for students to learn a) how to search for information and b) how to use endnote*
* But that's just me

Re: dark ages
i used to the be the google king. people would ask me to find all the hard stuff for them, and i could in generally under a minute. advanced search? never used it. you just have to know the boolean commands, and the various google-centric commands.

For randman. RE: Your new thread
There is one big mistake you made in the OP on your new thread. I choose to respond here because it is relevant to this thread and not yours.
That arguments are being made in ignorance of the actual science is not in dispute. The examples I used of Faith in the most recent thread are obvious to anyone with even a passing knowledge of formal geology. This pattern has been repeated countless times in this forum and probably will continue.
Moreover, after explicitly pointing out that, based on their statements, it is painfully obvious that their knowledge of the subject area is wanting, often the classical creationists will continue as if unencumbered by being called on their ignorance.
That this happens is not up for debate. What is up for debate is the why and if this type of behavior is intellectually honest.

No smoking signs by gas stations. No religion in the public square. The government should keep us from being engulfed in flames on earth, and that is pretty much it. -- Jon Stewart, The Daily Show
