Eve of the Apocalypse: Twilight

I agree with Dark_Nemesis on this... but don't tell anyone. *finger to lips* "shhhh"

So, what you're saying is that the guy who wrote the book of fables gave good advice that could easily be known by anyone of any time period by observation. "Oh, look, when we use wood, less people die! Hey, when we dry them in the sun, even fewer people die! Oh, look, if you circumcise them on...

Creationism is not a theory. There is not a single person anywhere who can show you the hypothesis, tested and verified, that became the "Creationism Theory." There's a good reason for this, Creationism is not science . There is nothing bigoted about it. One is a verified fact, the other i...

You're bringing that into this thread, now? I still say: prove it.

Even if it is the case, there's no profit in claiming the world is older than it is. There is profit in claiming we are causing global warming.

Kalrithus is a firm believer in myth, how quaint. The same myth that suggests that several million animals were placed on a boat and somehow cared for by, what, eight people? Then, seeing as Noah's family were the only living humans, we're apparently all descended from their brother and sister inces...

I haven't been ranting on and on about a stupid word for the last three posts, Ford. Grow up. Why the hell are you derailing this thread with your petty complaints? Really. Yes, the original topic did stray off, but at least it was legit enough and not ranting on and on about a ridiculous word, one...

Why am I doing what you already did twice? No, it's three times now. Hmmm, methinks you should find a mirror before you point that finger of yours.

So, yes, why are you derailing this thread with your complaints, DN?

*Ahem* You have no idea what theory means in scientific circles. Theories are explanations for facts. Evolution occurred, the proof is in the fossil record and carbon dating, and many more things that I don't care to know. The theories explain how evolution came about. A theory is known to be true a...

To be fair, the suggested sentence of, "let's paranoid the possibility of peak oil and global warming," is a bit beyond a typo. As a member of that prestigious group known as "everyone," I take offense to your suggestion that I misuse words. I invite you to find any such misuses ...

Stop associating Darwin with atheism. Evolution is a fact, not a belief. If someone chooses to use their belief to deny a fact, well, you'd have to question their intelligence... and/or their sanity.

In that one, you probably don't want to. However, there is no concentration required. I can do it in about one second. All you have to do is double your vision, it will automatically snap together. Which probably won't make sense if you've never done it. I may have an idea that could help you with t...

I donno, I been trying to figure that out as well. I (along with Yak, Kalrithus, and others) simply asked for actual science to be provided, then I was labeled a non-believer of science by Dekar simply because I didn't buy into this whole silly notion. Then you jump in, claim you have no personal o...

Which beliefs would those be? The ones I stated that I don't have?

Is there any science behind your claims?

Well, just to put a possible scenario out there... what do you think happens if significant cold areas, say... ice caps, suddenly started drifting away from the poles? Something that might happen if, say, they melted.

I'm glad I could prove your point by disproving it.

Why the hell would I be keeping up with news? Anyway, you didn't tell me to go fishing 4 posts (of yours) back. You said your previous post. As for your "accurate and objective materials" in the form of a weather report... what do you think that proves? Record lows are actually a point on ...

Oh, well that... has nothing to do with anything that was just said? Your claim is that pumping noxious chemicals into the air is not having any significant effect. The other side claims that pumping noxious chemicals into the air is having a significant effect. Seems to me that both are hypotheses ...

Actually, seeing as I believe nothing in particular on the subject, I'd be hard-pressed to gather the necessary drive to convince someone else of either view. I'm simply suggesting that you make the same effort to convince others of your viewpoint that you expect of them. You provided examples of wh...

By that token, Dark, provide accurate and objective materials supporting the claims that it doesn't exist (or, isn't caused by humans).

The other side of the coin.

I've seen/heard people say: "Global warming caused by humans is a real and present threat, and if you believe otherwise, you haven't done enough research." And: "Global warming caused by humans is a myth, and if you believe otherwise, you haven't done enough research." So, the on...

I have formed a new opinion on this... No religion has ever made any difference in any positive or negative way. It has always been the kindness and charity or the wickedness and greed of the people involved which was responsible for the acts performed. If the action required an excuse or encouragem...

I can't get that page to come up, even using a German proxy...
Oddly, this comes up fine: http://www.kunnskapssenteret.no/

I totally stole this from another thread in this forum. I think it adequately describes religion, though! If you are religious, you probably don't want to click on that. Alright, apparently, my intent here isn't clear... to one person, anyway. First, the video is a joke, of sorts, anyone who isn't h...

Doctors have a degree in medical care, not in the organization of health care. To put it another way, whether Obama's plan is good or not, a doctor has no qualifications to have a better plan. Any opinion they have on the matter is almost certainly primarily influenced by how it affects their payche...

SYMPATHIZE? Where is this fantasy world of yours? I want to blow it up. I know you were speaking to luft, but you've been lumping us together so... Your one-sided view of the Crusades is the reason we're still talking about it. I specifically stated that my use of Christian atrocities was simply due...
