Playing dumb again are we.
Go to the search key type in "crook" by member A1611VET and use Everywhere.

How about I go there and type in "crook for supporting the case of Pluto being demoted"?

Or maybe just ...

"Crook for supporting ..."?

Here ... I'll give you something to help your case:

You are not doing yourself any favours with this dishonest account of events.
Recall this post and were you not suspended for doubling down on accusing me of being a crook in a public forum.
It shows what a hypocrite you are for declaring of being tolerant of individuals whose POV differs from your own.

Your ongoing vilification of scientists is another example of your hypocrisy.

And you're entitled to your opinion.

Recall this post and were you not suspended for doubling down on accusing me of being a crook in a public forum.

No.

Not that I recall anyway.

And YOU are the one who called YOURSELF a crook.

Then challenged me to justify it.

So I did.

Post 137

Be careful what you ask for; you just might get it.

It shows what a hypocrite you are for declaring of being tolerant of individuals whose POV differs from your own.

Ya ... ya ...

Your ongoing vilification of scientists is another example of your hypocrisy.



Welp ... here goes this thread.

This has got to one of dumbest attempts at diversion I have ever come across.
Do you think you given your marching orders by the moderators because I called myself a crook?
AV16111VET;
I got time off for this, and we're not going over this again.

I should try this experiment by calling myself a crook and see if I can get you suspended again.

Down here, if someone isn't looking too well you say 'You're looking a little crook.' Are you feeling a little crook?

I was feeling a little crook at the time (that doesn't sound right) by someone up there using the word crook in a libelous context.

Be careful what you ask for.

You even resorted to a "hypothetical situation" to ask for it.

I just thought of something, Astro.

In that thread, you said this:

sjastro said:
In a hypothetical world if I had the opportunity of voting I would have demoted Pluto's planetary status.

1. In a hypothetical world ...

2. IF you had the opportunity ...

I'm just wondering:

Had you actually been there, what makes you think you would have voted?

I mean, maybe you would have walked out in disgust?

You still want to go down this line.............
This is what you wrote.
It is not a hypothetical situation these are your own words expressed without coercion or manipulation on my part.
As I have mentioned previously beware of what you write as the search function is a wonderful tool where previous posts can come back to bite you.

Good question and fair!
Why thank you.
No; I am admittedly bias towards the word of God and there is no room for evolutionary theory there, IMO.

In a literal reading of genesis, sure. There is neither enough time for evolution to have occurred and the Bible describes a chain of events different to the scientifically accepted evolutionary scenarios.

The problem is that is according to one specific literal interpretation.

Another literal interpretation is taken by some of the Flat Earth Creationists found on this forum who think the Bible disproves the existence of space and gravity.

I'd be very fascinated by the principles and theories in question, but I am very dubious that they dubunk the theory of evolution.

A number of very well funded and well motivated anti evolution organisations exist and have been unable to present any coherent scientific evidence against the theory of evolution.

I have no idea what you are talking about so it's best I bow out since this conversation has taken a weird turn.

Evolution is silly and it's a reach to describe something for those who reject God's word.

Formal education rejects the theory but reminds students that it was once a theory long ago when we were bored, because there was no internet, so wild theories were a great way to pass the time and fit into social clubs.

Make sure you look at all evidence and not just those that support your theory of evolution. Otherwise, you are not admitting you have a bias and will only see and find the research that supports your bias i.e. confirmation bias.

I have admitted my bias to God's word but am aware of both views, for and against, evolution in the science realm. I'm not interested in either, given that I do not believe in it at all, but both views exist with the majority debunking it on the basis that we have moved on from that thinking for a variety of reasons.

If you can afford to go behind a paywall, even for a few days, it would probably be very enlightening for you to see that what I'm saying is true but also, you may find things you and I don't know about which may be interesting for you.

All the best.
