I thought they would be fun to post on and this is GT

I couldn't figure it out either. I guess religion is off limits here?

We could test the theory. So, the Borgias...

wow, wow, slow down, i'm still only on episode six of season three of the tudors

(jane seymour just died, which was sad because i thought they were great together, but i believe next comes anne of cleves, and you know what, I'm holding out hope for this one to last)

It's not that religion is off limits. It's just that there are certain levels of stupidity that neither I, nor pretty much every other advanced primate, am willing to accept.

Eh, seems callous to me. The prevailing thought, particularly on scientific theories (hence why they're called theories), isn't always right. Ergo, Columbus sailing off the face of the planet.

I'm not saying s/he was right, but I don't see the harm in discussing it. I tend to believe in both a higher power and also most scientific laws that exist today.

lus it's interesting to recognize the compelling number of similarities in religious texts. Some of which, really isn't off base...for instance the Great Flood and the archaeological discussions of the Bosporus Straights flooding. It was disregarded as myth by most in the scientific community until a few took the time to actually look at it.

So here's to open minds.

bah humbug!

I'm not saying that he was right or wrong...it's just that, to me, it seemed as if he was just rehashing an old argument off of AT archive or a different forum altogether, and Dibs took the bait and was running with it.

I guess if we actually had all the posts from the past ~11 years here instead of on a different site, then my point would be more clear...

That makes more sense. So I nominate banning Dagga :)

meh, they question science, which is pretty much a straight forward kinda thingy where theories can be traced back and it can be demonstrated as to why it's stated as such and works the way it does, in favor of a divine stroke of irrationality that feels good. why shouldn't i take the bait and run with it until the line snaps?

did you think they were going to hurt my wittle feelings, or were you just afraid i'd get drunk and call them names?

i don't think anyone would actually be 'afraid' that you'd get drunk, probably because your 4' tall and have an extra nose coming out the side of your head. now thats evolution

nice to see that someone from the younger generation at least makes an attempt to troll.

Haven't you learned by now, that Dibs ALWAYS takes the bait and runs with it?
