Actually, the tendency to marry in the early twenties in the 1950s was actually a swing from the past trend--before that, the trend had been to marry later and later. This drop in marriage age coincided with a rise in moral conservatism and was shortly followed by a skyrocketing rate of divorce.

Ah, but the issue of endogenous retroviruses has nothing to do with the evolutionary relationship of humans to the viruses, but rather that the viruses tag organisms in a statistically unique fashion. All humans share certain viral tags. Furthermore, all humans and chimpanzees share some of...

Bumpity!

This might explain the lack of substance in your posts, John. :P ;)

Postmodernist nonsense. Really, is this the best defense Creationists can offer, that facts are opinions?

It seems implied here that stereotyping is a bad thing, but that would make you a hypocrite, wouldn't it?

Given that by Catholic doctrine, all Christians are Catholics (Protestants are merely heretical Catholics), this is intended to be binding on all Christians.

Funniest. Quote. EVAR.

The best pranks I know of were (1) taking all the keys and rearranging them in alphabetical order and (2) unplugging the keyboard and mouse from the victim's computer and plugging another set into it. You can really have a lot of fun with the second one and a dumb victim.

If you're going to quote, at least do it correctly. The quote is "God does not play dice with the universe," and the quote refers to quantum mechanics and Einstein's refusal to believe its validity. It has nothing to do with evolutionary theory.

Bumpity-bump-bump.

Quite true, I was simply addressing what seems to be a common concept, that hydrogen is an energy source similar to petroleum to be gathered for a net gain. It seems that the US media has focussed very heavily on this lately as the replacement for oil, and little mention is made of any actual...

Note that, as it currently stands, hydrogen fuel isn't actually an energy source--we currently have to create hydrogen at an energy cost. Apparently some scientists believe that we will be able to process rock to extract hydrogen efficiently, but that's still quite a ways off. We should...

Hm, good point. According to what I've been able to find (primarily here), it appears the dinosaurs likely did have penises, though they were probably concealed until copulation, but their gonads were most likely completely concealed. So it seems that my initial statement was incorrect, but...

The "tail" in Job 40:17 is a euphemism for penis, according to sources modern and ancient. Dinosaurs did not have penises.
