I was trying to make the point that we put up with more from AVET and other creationists here than he does from us.
Oh, riiiiight.

I can't even count in a counting thread all by myself w/o one of you guys showing up and calling me a 'counting wh___', or placing tags on it about mental capacity.

I find answers.com bends over for creationists, where a more respected dictionary would not.
LOL --- gotta love your choice of words --- at least you're honest.

Or was that a Freudian Slip?

maybe that's because you fallaciously brag about your post count as if it gives you entitlement to ignore other peoples ideas and opinions, or that it somehow your views are superior because of post count. I bet if you didn't do that people would not mock you so. You are sowing the seeds to your own misfortune.

Either that, or I don't.

Oh yes.. you do. In particular you call others "newbies" and tell them not to critisize you until their post-count is greater.

I wouldnt worry about those, but I would say the bible is wrong if it says something perfect was built by the hand of man. Perfectly round, and perfectly dimensioned in all ways, accurate to infinite decimal places.

Any perfect shape is only possible mathematically, but not physically. It's literally impossible to have a perfect physical shape, because even on the smallest level, there would always be imperfections.

To guess these perfect dimensions, using a bit of string, your hand and your arm, with any kind of accuracy is laughable.


Av, still waiting, what "kind" are Archeopteryx and Microraptor?

Then that. I've seen it with my own eyes on more than one occasion. You've done similar things regarding your rep count as well. And I notice you are sure to announce for all to see when you do rep someone.

But hey, your perogative. But to get on topic, you started with 10 rep points, right? So getting to the 2 quadrillion or whatever you have at this moment, was that micro-reputation, or macro-reputation?

I know that, but it sank a thread in physical science when someone else could not reconcile it with their biblical literalism.

Could you be a little more specific?

I tell them not to come on here saying stuff like, "You never [this]", or "You never [that]", or "You always [this]", or "You always [that]" when they don't know me from Adam.

Even you seasoned people falsely accuse me of stuff.

QV the latter half of this post: 132, which started out here: 167.

If I wanted to brag, my blessings are one decimal place higher than my post count, and my reps are 10 decimal places higher.

Where have you been, AVVET? Pluto has 3 moons. If you haven't kept up enough to know that Pluto has 3 moons, we can be confident that your knowledge of the topic is poor enough to reject your critique of what 'documentation' exists; you obviously didn't review enough documentation to learn about Nix and Hydra; which infers that you didn't even look at all....

Your latest obtuse comment? Probably not. Only you get yourself with any degree of frequency, AVVET, and even that is not guaranteed.
I officially declare your exchange with AV f***ing hilarious.

I'm not interested in your evidence. I asked you to use your brains.
Using your brain without looking at the evidence can lead you to fancy ideas and even logically valid conclusions, but it's a lousy way of discovering truth.

What you're asking people to do here is like asking them to figure out how homing pigeons find their way home or how galaxies form without looking at the evidence. In other words, absurd.

And I didn't say your evidence points to creation. That wouldn't make any sense. Your evidence can only point to your conclusion. You are caught in the trap.
You must be using a definition of "evidence" I haven't heard of. The evidence points where it does; wrong conclusions come from the people dealing with it.

Does that make birds separate from the animal kingdom? No. It gives them a unique place, but they, like us, are ultimately part of the kingdom.
Word. :thumbsup:

The point is that no one trained them. There are chimps that know how to fashion spears to catch bugs. Dolphins and other cetaceans have a complex language, compete with unique names for each individual.
Do the "names" actually exist outside dolphins? I've only ever heard them mentioned in connection with dolphins (and usually bottlenose dolphins). :scratch:

Both of which are specific kinds of flying.

Although you probably shouldn't be hanging your hopes on colloquial layterms for various animals anyway. A bull frog isn't a bull, a dragon fly isn't a dragon,
OR a fly, for that matter...

Not to mention elephant shrews or silverfish.

Also, Microraptor.

That's a Microraptor with dislocated hips. AFAIK, they couldn't splay their legs like that.

This one's probably more accurate, at least as far as legs go.

Ooooh, that's a good picture.

The picture I posted wasn't exactly the most accurate, anyway, not only was it doing the splits, but its legs were way too curved.

It still shows the general form of Microraptor, with feathered wings and a very lizard-like head, tail etc, which is all I really needed it for. Plus it was the clearest picture on the first page when I google image searched it.

When you consider how similar it is to modern day birds, and still very similar to ancient theropod dinosaurs, it makes putting the very mammalian bats in the same "kind" as birds seem even more primitive, and even more absurd.

Big deal --- despite my profile, I'm supposedly:

  • Omphalos
  • Last Thursdayism
  • YEC
  • Troll
  • Supertroll
  • Spammer
  • Liar
  • Deceiver
  • Freak in a freak show
  • In various stages of mental debilitation
And that's when I agree with about 98% of the conclusions of the scientists here, even to the point of disagreeing with my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ!

You left out 'playing the martyr'
