Suggestions
It requires direction. What I suggest to you is a mighty good phyciatrist.
What I suggest to you is that you learn something about the topics that you spout off on and, perhaps, that you check your spelling so that the content and the form of your posts don't work together to make you look so utterly ignorant.

Yes Chip, there will of course be other cases where the brain has become defetive and dumb....irrelevant and incoherent rambling snipped....What I suggest to you is a mighty good phyciatrist.
Thanks, WS. These insults show, it seems to me, that you realize how weak your arguments really are.
Think about them for a while. When you come up with an argument that you think might make some sense, then come back and share it with us.

A Suggestion
Please let those so inclined dig their own holes. No need to climb in with them.

So, are you saying that all Biologists have, for at least a century, perpetuated a massive fraud upon the rest of the scientific community, such that other fields like Geology and Genetics?
If so, how is it that scientists in those other fields are able to make successful predictions based upon the untruth of Evolutionary Biology?

Let us for a moment accept your premise, that Evolution is false and that God created everything however it is that you say He did.
Now what?
What greater understanding of nature have we gained?
Will future research findings spring from this conclusion?
How useful is it?

WOW!!
faced with that kind of persuasive logic I might just have to hang up my lab coat and look up a local religious group.
All the research that my colleagues and I have done for the last few years has just gone out the window.
I fell so dejected now.

Yes, dissapointing I know, we are not in control i'm afraid. It hurts coming from an evolutionary background, thinking people are brainwashed and brought up that way, and that we are better for knowing we are evolved machines from nothing. We like to feel free and superior you see. The Bible says we are the offspring of God. You know, we can only bring forth humans just as apes can only bring forth apes and so on. The great thing about Man is that he's a God. He made us of his own genus. In his own little way. And God is free.
We can choose the evil. We can make up fairy tales so we can convince ourselves we don't need God. And natural law, which came from who knows, is the maker. Well, Sorry folks. There is a God, and he rules. You don't. But, he chooses the good, and no one likes evil really. So love the God!

What are you talking about?
There are lots of phrases in here which don't mean anything, such as "evolved machines" and "evolved from nothing", "made us of his own genus". and so forth. And the whole thing doesn't seem to mean anything either.

Brainwashing is never apparent to the brainwashed until they can disengage themselves from the delusion they are in. Tell me, WS-JW, can you put down your bible and interact with people, without the need for using the bible as a security blanket, and use your own words to convey an idea of what you specifically disagree with concerning evolution?
Rather than rant and parade around your ignorance as though it were a badge of honor rather than the tragic loss of sensibility, make your case by providing arguments for your position that have clarity and calmness. We are civilized people after all and not on the sandbox of some long past schoolyard where insults meant something.
