Well naked it good! :thumb:

Hmm, it's warm here today too. Should I??? :wingang:

Tess, can you think of 67 good reasons why you shouldn't?

PF, I've often been accused of having rocks on my head, or was that head among the rocks?

Pangaea was an interesting notion, but if you want to get picky there was once a supercontinent called Earth.

There were no oceans, lakes or rivers 'cos it was too bloody hot, just rock, therefore only one continent taking up the whole patch.

Do you know the pan-spermia theory? IDs probably wouldn't like it.

Creationism: Yes, I firmly believe God created the heavens and the Earth and everything in the Universe. However, I do not think that the book of Genesis should be taken literally...which leads me to....

Evolutionism: Yes, I believe this is the SCIENCE behind how things really happened, through God's will. Genesis talks about a 7 day process...What's a "day"? A billion years?

Intelligent Design: No sale here. Interesting theory, though.

Oldfart,

Interesting. There is an article on just that in the November issue of Scientific American.

jseal,

November issue's not hit the news-stand here. It's the price I pay for living so far from civilisation.

I believe the ID's refer to it as Pizza-Pan-Supreme. …….. or are you talking about why I feel the need to shoot my seed EVERYWHERE? :boink:





:grin:

Nah, that's just you, PF.

This just in…
 

Kansas’s Board of Education, by a 6-4 vote, has approved science standards for public schools that cast doubt on evolution.

Not surprisingly, the National Academy of Sciences has refused to grant copyright permission to the Kansas State Board of Education to make use of NAS publications in the state's science education standards.

/me shivers over the thought of being TESTED on Intelligent Design in science class.

:yikes:

Ouch!! I just had a lucid moment.

See if you can spot a flaw in this logic, please.

1. Anything with the power and scope to intelligently design and create a whole universe must fulfill our definition of a God.

2. The Intelligent Design advocates who refuse to state that Mr ID is God must either believe that he is not God or are deliberately with-holding their belief.

3. The first Commandment of the Old Testament ( shared by the Jews, Christians and Islam) only allows for the existence of one God, placing the above with-holders in breach of the Commandment.

4. ID includes us and our behaviour patterns in this created world, removing our free will and thus our ability to sin. Without sin we are all on our way to heaven, regardless of actions, because it is not us who have sinned, but the Designer who made us thus. If all action is as a result of Mr ID, there can have been no input by God, thus no divine Christ, no Christianity and thus no valid Christian Right.

5. If there is no valid Christian Right, there is no-one to legitimately push ID and it must go the way of all fallacies.



God (or Designer) I like a good rant.

That is FAR too logical and borders on 'thinking'.

There will be NONE of THAT allowed!!!!:mad:

Sorry PF, I'll do worse next time.

uh...that's MRS. ID!

And she is from the 5th Dimension and just plays the part of God.

5th Dimension?

Is she from Up Up and Away?
