"Squawking" = toucan = big nose = Judaism. Can you prompt smeone to not do something? I am actually unsure. |

" Wow, the lameass squawks and blames ME for not reading. Hmmm.... Why don't you put down your pacifist bumper stickers and read the thread again to see what prompted me from posting in it in the first place." -Vinth Alll kidding aside, I have no idea at all what this last post is supposed to mean. I'm not even talking about the bumper stickers, I guess I get that part. Since the object second paragraph is supposed to be me, I'll guess I'm who he means me by 'lameass' but which part of my 'squawking' is he refering to? And what did I 'blame' him about not reading? And in what way is that ironic? Vinth, you seem to have a toddleresque belief that your reades are somehow privy to the thoughts going on in your head while you make your posts, as if they were some sort of DVD audio accompaniment, and that this means you don't ahve to make any effort at all to deffine what you're talking about. Anyone who knows what this means, feel free to translate. |

| Zhukov | How could you expect him to put down bumper stickers? Wouldn't they be on his bumper? Unless of course Max is one of those people who goes through life carrying anti-war stickers on his person. | |||

im a 7th day hoppist. i spend all day sunday hopping. i hop to church, hop through the survice, hop through lunch, etc. i was then told my bible has a typo. It was all based on 1 Corinthians 13, where it says, "Faith, Hop, and Charity, and the greatest of these is Hop." (can anyone spot the red dwarf reference, clue: its above this clue) |

I, for one, am glad Vinth can gaze back billions of years at a time and come up with all the permutations that the chaotic conditions on earth could have possibly produced ... I mean ... WOW!!

It also raises the question of what would happen if Vinth were confronted with Fractyl Geometry. He seems to think if the Math is too complicated, it can't be true. The true maxim would be if the mth is too complicated, Vinth can't understand it. He should look at a very simple computer simulation called 'life'. Given six rules, pixels develop replication, predation, motion... I guess Vinth thinks God hates complexity as much as Vinth does. Me? I think he works in mysterious ways. But that's just a bizarre minority opinion and probably all Jewish. I think Vinth would admit that, if you asked him honestly. I just feel bad he thinks religion and science are mutually exclusive. I mean, even Popes don't think that anymore. I also think it's sad he feels the the argument from design ever intended to explain anything about God's nature and supports Hinduism, Islam, and a belief in Slappy the Almighty Clown-Weasel as nice as it explains Catholoscism. I like it when he tries to get all smart though. It's kind of cute in a queasy way. |

| Anonymous | It does raise one interesting question, though: if Jesus were a scientist, would he try to discredit himself? | |||

I agree, Dr. The entire argument is a farce, as the two fields have little in common. Sort of like a lengthy debate of which is superior, Bowling or Pommegranites. You can't get all lathered up talking about the impossibilityy of eating a bowling ball, or how it's hard to even get a pommegranite all the way down the lane let alone knock over any pins and never even realize there's just no damn question to adress. On the other hnad, Vinth baiting is delightful. SO: Vinth; nice ducking the question, which was, 'can the bible be taken literally?' What's te matter, was it too difficult for you to understand? Maybe you'd feel more confidant if you had your own website. |

Pern, if your "on the water" statement is accurate, then why did an apostle walk on the water but his faith lacked so he fell in? I don't think he tripped over a log. People tend to leave that out when they do their "on the water" argument. -- Anyway, to Jean. I'd love to have a nice discussion about this subject but right now I don't have the time. Perhaps a bit later. But to just give a point I have about the intelligent design theory: Nature and existance is like a huge mathmatical equation. Nature also does not treat mutations lightly. The complexity of mankind is so great that mathmatically it is illogical to think it happened by chance. Imangine the situation that you do not know anything about religion or evolution. Someone delivers evolution upon you like someone could introduce Islam or Christanity. Wouldn't you think they were a bit off their rocker? |

| Perndog | He did walk on the water. Just not on top of it. He walked "on the water" just like a beachfront house is "on the water" - on the shore. Blame unclear translations. | |||

Apparently it's a complex process to differentiate the portions of the bible that can be used as a historical text, along with the more symbolic and prose like passages, juxtaposed with the plain out dated interpretations ... but maybe some of you should try it! I know some bible thumping holy rollers who can handle the multi-faceted language... so why can't some of you heathens? Seriously, the relevance to any of these arguments stops at your own personal belief system. |

One thing I COULD believe is Revelations, or that John (I believe) had visions of Heaven and Hell... ...of course, if I were in the Arabic opium region and was rolling in more pre-illegal substances than thought possible, I might start seeing wacky shit too, then I'll write it down and let clueless fucks millenia from now interpret it as complete fact. Here's hoping your descendants start worshipping "Skulhedfaceology." |

I think you either need to take the entire bible literally, or none of it. I notice people like to pick and choose what to take "Metaphorically" and what to take literal, but that's Okay. The people who are likely doing this aren't going to be a theological expert anytime if their lifetime. It is true that there are alot of historical "Facts" in the bible, but there are just as many myths and even more things that are just out of place. For example, the birth of christ occured in "0 bc", but the reign of herod ended in 4bc. If you read the bible I believe the three wisemen from the east were being chased by him, and herod was also looking for little Ieshua. |

Vinth must still think that evolution means that fish spontaneously start giving birth to mammals and such.

I'm taking physical anthropology, and I find the issues of evolution interesting. I'm willing to put aside our mutal differences so we can have a reasonable discussion/debate about it, Vince. Quote:
