If someone is making these claims here, fine. Show them they're wrong and why. Just saying "You're an ignoramus!" serves no purpose at all, especially when the claim wasn't even made here, but imported from another website.

On the other hand the people turning the "herding dinosaurs" claim into a joke about the best way to do said hunting are indeed serving a purpose. Humor is always a good thing.
Right on, Steve!

"Bashing" one person's opinion does happen. Its when one person has a view, and suddenly that one idiotic view is used to bash an entire group - who may or may not agree with the original idiot - is where I start having issues.

It's like saying Kim Jong Un is a fat idiot. OK, maybe he is - but that doesn't mean that every North Korean is a fat idiot. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a real idiot too - but that doesn't make every Iranian one. Barbara Boxer and Sarah Palin are considered moronic by some people, but that doesn't mean that every person that agrees with some things they say are all morons either.

The whole "I suspect the same technique would work on creationists" is lumping anyone who says they believe in "creationism" (whether in 7 days or 7 billion years) as worthy of being killed. That kind of thing simply does not belong here at Subsim.com - like it or not.

People here don't have to agree with someone, or a group of people. But the rules are clear - they do need to be generally respectful - and grouping folks together and talking about a way to kill them because they hold some specific belief or common view - does not qualify.

I think you're taking what Andy said a bit too seriously.

And you shall be rewarded for voicing support for the communitarian anti christmas revolution.
Once santa has gone the way of all tyrants, under the redistribution of welf program you are entitled to a small share in one of twelve reindeers.

Umm...would that be a share of ownership or a portion of the meat?

Please try to be more specific when making these offers. Official documentation would be nice.

[edit] Just so you know, I'm good either way.

You lack vision young man.
Given the superb speed record of these fabulous beasts they shall be racing reindeer.
It works well in the new age of equality as since they all run at the same speed there will be twelve winners in every race.

For those of you who haven't seen it, I highly recommend you watch this documentary:


My favorite part is when Ben Stein confronts Mr. Evolution himself, Richard Dawkins, and ends up leaving him stammering and stuttering through his replies. Despite it's outward appearance, this is a very compelling documentary. It may not only change your opinion about Evolution, but a great many other alleged facts that the scientific community purports as truth. Science these days, it seems, is becoming more like a religion than a field of study.
If you subscribe to Netflix, you can watch it as a streaming movie on your PC or Laptop.

I don't care if it claims that God made life without Evolution, if it has that in it, 10 out of 10!

No sign of intelligence indeed, it seems, both in the movie - and in defending it:

And further:

http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...nt-you-to-know

Religion of this kind not only educates you to become stupid - and it even teaches you how to like and be proud of being stupid. Since nobody gets born being stupid per se, these are the reasons why I consider religious education of this kind to be a crime and an abuse. It's like poking children in the eyes with pencils so that they cannot see, or to cut off their hands so that they cannot do and handle things.

Perhaps you should watch it before you jump to those conclusions.
The "stammering and stuttering" are reactions like "what sort of question is that, are you serious, didn't you just hear what I said , have you read the book you are quoting"

You mean the part where, as in all of this kind of "documentary", only a small part of the Dawkins interview is shown, with Ben Stein interjecting comments after the fact?

Actually it's not a documentary at all. It is heavily edited so only the opinion of the writer and director is shown. All others are made to look foolish by post-production flim-flam.

Not really. While there are always people who jump on any bandwagon and adhere to it zealously, that applies to maybe 5% of the people who claim to believe in science. It only seems that way to those who want to believe that it is that way.
