I have no problem with citations?
Rick, I was asked for a citation, and I gave it.

I was asked for an explanation, and I gave it.

If you don't like it, don't cry to me about it.

Unless you think I'm "feeding the trolls."

Oh ... so it's either direct the comment at me, or no one at all?

You can't go to the source (Freodin & Frumious) and whine to them?

In fact, you didn't say a word until I quoted Scripture.

You were probably thinking I couldn't do it, weren't you?

Surprise, surprise.

I think what I just saw here with Freodin, is an attitude of: It's okay for you to believe my scientific explanation, but don't justify a phenomenon with Scripture, or I won't tolerate it.
Are you operating under the impression that all ideas are worth tolerating?

Don't you think asking someone for a Scripture reference ... getting it ... then putting them on IGNORE is a little overreacting?

Perhaps, but then again, we're talking about you, here.
Yes ... and how many times has 'you here' warned you guys that if you can't handle the answer, don't ask the question?

It's not your vacuous answers, but rather, it's your behavior. You seem to think having a religion exempts you from just basic good human behavior.

Just for your information, and as a final comment: I did not put you "on IGNORE", and I hadn't before. I ignored your posts, by choice, and by the same choice I decided not to respond to your inanities. But that will change.

"What am I missing?", you asked.

Well, for once, the complete rest of my posts... in fact everything you didn't like and didn't feel like responding to. That's your usual mode: pick and chose. Hook onto sentences, phrases, single words... spin your tale and ignore the rest.

You asked about a certain specific thing... and you got an answer. You didn't like the answer... but it is you who tell others: "if you can't handle the answer, don't ask the question."

You got a counterquestion... basically asking you to do the same as you asked others to do. You don't even bat an eye... you ignore it and hook on to something else, change the subject.

Look at it: you have now successfully managed to derail your own thread from fake crop circles to someone not accepting biblical references. And you didn't even give a "biblical reference". There is nothing in the verse you cited that is related to crop circles. It would have made more sense if you had posted your preferred verse about the flaming chariots and horses on the hilltop... maybe they made the crop circles while dancing around!

This is bovine excrement, and you know it. You are nothing but a troll. Some people might find you an amusing troll, but I have spend 47 years of my life with a "what have I done" person like you... AND I AM FED UP WITH IT!

That said, welcome to be the first person on my ignore list.

Then why don't YOU have me on IGNORE?

Are you somehow exempt?

The weather theory of crop circle formation is dismissed due to the assumption that the weather was generated by Mother Nature, which, of course, isn't true.

Job 1:19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

Notice the wind smiting the four corners of the house at once and causing it to fall in?

And Job seems to be surprised by this.

The story seems to indicate the house was the target of the wind.

And that has exactly WHAT to do with crop circles?

If "four corners" means "a variety of circular patterns" and "house" means "a field of crops".

How do you do these amazing leaps of logic to get a passage to mean whatever you want it to mean?

It's obvious that wind can flatten crops, and it's conceivable that a wind vortex could flatten crops in a roughly circular or elliptical shape, but it's not plausible that wind could produce the precise and interesting patterns we see.

Or are you suggesting that God could be using the wind to have another go at trying to communicate with us ?

I'm suggesting Satan is behind crop circles.

(Not the copy-cat ones that people have been caught doing, but the other ones.)
