So what is your problem with "homo sapiens"? It is just a name... ok, "elephant" may not have been the best choice, but "what about names like Elephantidae, Canidae and Accipitridae? Do you accept those?

Homo sapien is not just a name, its a term inspired by scientist and evolutionist. You just are not aware of this, but wouldnot be against it anyway. I don't have to accept all terms presented to me, I'd just as soon construct my own.

I recall comming up as a young black man in Detroit. For some reason my favorite book was a dictionary since age 12. I never liked the rosey defintion in the dictionary for the word " White." As compared to the horrid , dense, evil defintion for the word " Black." I never did like that, so I never did accept it. Even got a few bad grades for giving a good defintion for the word Black.

Peace.

Well, if you prefer the name "human" or "us", just replace the word "homo sapiens" with it, because that is what people mean when they say, well, "homo sapiens". The modern man. If you have issues with this, take it up with biology. After all, we common men don´t make up the terms, the people who work with it does.

This common man makes up terms. But I know people mean human when they say it, but I need to keep what it really means in my mind.

Homo sapiens is not simply a made up term. It is a scientific term, to denote a particular physical structure and anatomy.

You said you were moving on to somethingelse, some other thread, and the way you said it, you wanted others to go with you. Yet here you are again. Stay or leave, either one, but make your mind up.

First off...I do what I want. When I want....Where I want...;).... That's how I am...

Your welcome to stay, I encourage you to stay, and I request that you stop trying to influence others to leave. If you leave, leave alone.

I had a couple questions and they were put out there for anyone to answer. So that's why I stuck around. You could have responded to them..but you didn't.....Typical you. I was actually seeking a response from someone with a more evolved intellect than yourself.

Oh...Mickiel...I don't need to try and garner support...especially when it's a fact that the overwhelming majority of posters here agree with me. I have all the support I need.

Ohh young grasshopper attend and learn.

I have once again consulted the holy bible, whilst their is some oblique references to dinosaurs their is nothing them being used as transport.

*le sigh* i'm starting to think the bible isn't the fountain of wisdom that mickiel thinks it is.

However do not despair. I have consulted with my mind and it says that not only were dinosaurs used as mount but they were the preferred mode of transport (the only other alternative being fords of which no self respecting caveman would drive.

As to your question as to what type of dinosaur were used. That depends on the personality and penis size of the person in particular.

Now you have been enlightened go forth and ponder these revelations.

I have a question, which I rarely do. And I will show you what the answer has to do with Consciousness.

Why does the Halluncinations of Schizophrenics so often have a dramitic authority, which is normally religious?

Could you please rephrase this question as it makes no sense.

When someone but mickiel would like to put forth an intelligent, researched alternate argument to the facts that are being presented.

it would be impossible for mickiel's argument to be presented in an intelligent, researched, factual manner. regardless of who presented it, as the very basis for his argument is not factual.

so would you rather discuss how the little squiggly's that are constantly in the corner of your eye are trying to control your mind? which is, of course, another proof of god.

yes I would.

Have you ever noticed that when you try and look at them that they run away.

What are they afraid of? You being afraid of something could be considered consciousness, I mean if you aren't conscious you have no concept of self and you cant be afraid if you have no concept of self.

Back to the original question yes I do believe the squigglies are trying to control me. Maybe that's why they are running away maybe they don't want to be seen using their evil atheist mind powers.

And I want to get into that and then ignore anybody who disagrees with me in the slightest.

Peace
