There's no doubt that he would have attempted to restart his program to produce weapons. And what we have learned indicates that he was able to hide a few of them from the inspectors. What I don't understand is why we invaded Iraq in the first place, regardless of whether he had WMD's. We were...

Unfortunately, there's no decoder ring or Rosetta Stone to guide them now. The Bible most certainly would not be the best place to look for clues. God's message is probably something a bit less coherent; something more along the lines of the lyrics to "Nothing's Gonna Change My World", or...

It's called Behe-Falwell Syndrome, one in every ten people have it. Those who experience it are prone to denial, contridiction, and violence (although rarely in the form of beating people with stacks of bibles, where bible-thumping mistakenly got its name). People suffering from chronic BfS can...

You know, I still think that, while it may be hopeless, we have a duty as human beings to go over there and try to beat back the forces of ignorance and decay. It would be a humanitarian effort AND a field trip. We could take pictures and I'll make the sandwiches. :yum:

Am I the only one who noticed the "Votaloadofmonkees" bit, or am I missing something?

Good to see another of my kind! I got third place in the state of Alabama for contemporary comedy in the novice section.

I'm actually not that surprised. With every iteration comes a new step into the depths of insanity. It's kind of like the creationist's strawman of evolution: It follows a pattern of increasing complexity and unbelievability. (Call me cynical, but...) Eventually, the universe will have been...

Well, it's to be expected. It's not so much that he's already been answered, but more so that no one has given him the answer he wanted to hear.

It reminds me of a more innocent time when all you had to fear about was D&D (Magic!), Rock and Roll (Devil Music!) and Utah (Mormons!). But now, we have Evolution, Gay Marriage, Abortions, etc... So many atrocities, so little time to discuss them. :D

There's a difference between Darwin and Darwinism. One was a man, creator of a scientific theory, and the other is a bigoted prejudice that took root during the height of modern imperialism. There is also a difference between science and philosophy. You would do well to understand that...

I do need to look into that study (although, in any case, it may just be America).

Happened to me as well. In essence, it is much like the belief in a flat-earth: it is easier to comprehend, but it doesn't pan out. The source of this confusion lies in misguided fear. What is real... that, of course, is a matter of faith. However, we do know what is not real. Religious...

Being white does not make you a Neanderthal either. Of course, the subhuman intelligence of Bush would lead me to believe that there can be exceptions to a rule.

Additionally, you aren't a Neanderthal.

Which brings us to a point that you, John, seem to overlook every time you make a case for science being racist in some way: You associate the idea of Africa being a source for life with a source of inferiority. How are people of that region, long-dead or present, inferior? No one here believes...

Of course, I think the term used was "Mongoloid" specifically.

There's places outside of America? Tell me more of this 'world'. ;) *** In any case, it's true, homosexuality is not the only contributing factor linking to the spread of HIV. A broad range of problems are to blame for the rapid spread of the disease. Still, an interesting subject nonetheless.

True, but it does set our nation back a bit. Let's say that one of those children being raised would have gone on to cure a disease, or play God by inventing a loveable three-eyed domesticated frog pet thing. I'd buy one, but I can't. Why? Becuase of that child's faulty science education...

However, it would seem that the implications of it have yet to be fully understood. If they knew the intelligence was bogus, then we went to war for the wrong reasons. And, if we were unjustified, then the lives lost in Iraq were purposeless - an insult to our troops. Ultimately, we have made...

While I understand your fears, it is debatable whether that is in fact a sin, at least based on what I have read from the bible. In any case, you can change how you react to certain situations, although you can not change the fact that you are. If you seek to rid yourself of your will to follow...
