Bad example aside, there are countless theories out there that are also proven facts. Such as, oh, evolution.

This is your answer to a scientist with a Ph.D.?
Now I am happy because you have made it so clear!

Meanwhile, why don't you go tell the residents of Hiroshima that atoms are "only a theory". I'll be rigth here.
Why would anyone want to tell them atoms are "only a theory" when they are a fact???????????

This is the best post on this whole subject...

Um... you do realise that you just revived this completely pointless thread, right?

Now for something not so completely different.
Here is a recipe (one of the favourite university jokes, in paleontology):
http://recipes.stevex.net/recipe/ano...odle_casserole

Anomalocaris (from early to mid-cambrian) should have died out long ago, or to be more precise since at least 485 million years, but since we have this recipe this is the evidence they still roam the seas.

On the other hand (quote):
" *If anomalocaris is out of season (or era) tuna is an acceptable
substitute."

Then why can't you figure out how to use the 'quote' button? It's on the lower right. That way people wouldn't have to hunt around to find out who you're responding to and when they said it.

Also, the posts above are right. If you're going to respond to something, try to do it immediately, not almost two weeks later.

And if you're going to respond, at least make an effort to actually make an argument, not just insult people because you think it's funny.

Please feel free to respond, but only if you actually have something to add. Otherwise, please let it die.

I'm sorry, I learn something new everyday.
I replied late because it's the first time in a while that I was able to check in.
I didn't mean to insult anyone, sorry for that, I did just think it was funny.
And I here by declare this subject dead and gone.

And then Iceman throws this diddy in.
So I am wondering, where is Sailor Steve with that same nonsense he gave me? What does this statement mean? I have no idea.

I see he has quoted Solomon with no real reference to the question at hand.
Take note Sailor Steve.

To me quotes that have no bearing on the subject are just meaningless.

Here is the problem plain and simple:
If you believe in "creation" and think the earth is 3,000 years old, then science presents you with a big problem since it can show that the earth is hundreds of thousands if not billions of years old.

If you believe in "evolution" then you have to choose which theory within the theory you subscrribe to. Not everyone in the evolution boat believes in the same idea. It is as simple as that.
So you give me your answer and I will give you the reply of men/women who went to the same colleges and universities with the same degrees who will disagree with your belief.

So in the end, nothing changes except the misquided thought patterns of people who see things one way, their way.

Since this can go no further, I declare it closed, unless Sailor Steve can find something else I alone have violated.

Have a nice day.

First, he only posted two days after you did. Silly and useless, but it looks like he didn't plan on posting more, so I let it slide. He didn't come in after two weeks and try to revive an old argument.

Quote:

I have no idea what he meant or why he said it. It was pointless, sure, but it was also obvious he wasn't trying to have the last word. Apparently he was making a joke about some people's inability to let go. On the other hand Iceman is a confessed Christian who used to post regularly, but these days seems to prefer hit-and-run posting.

And rehashing the same points over and over isn't?

Already been said several times in the thread.

And?

To paraphase Solomon, there's nothing new in this thread. Still you insist on trying to prove you are right. Why?

Quote:

So after "declaring" the thread "dead and gone" you drop back in to continue the argument and then "declare" it closed again? Also, "you alone". If you bothered to look you would see I said much the same to SafeKeeper two weeks (but only one page) earlier.

I'd say Hottentot was right:

In before the lock

I guess this would be a bad time to post responses to what we were debating about over a month ago... Always had meant to come back to this thread and answer some questions posed and debate some other stuff, but alas no time, no time.

Just wait around until the next incarnation of this topic.

(Not that debate is going to change anybody's mind.)
