Darwin's Illusion

[Dan From Smithville]

3 days without a weather radar is starting to take a toll.

You should probably budget for an upgrade to a new Tactical Air Surveillance Radar and just substitute in weather for enemy aircraft when you turn the thing on.

I should probably take more notice of which thread I'm in before I post.

Maybe the pressure of not knowing if it's raining has got to more than I thought.

I don't think this thread matters anymore. Nothing really new here except for a handful of science posters. Actually, I shouldn't downplay that. It is the only important posts being made.

I know what you mean. I ask the chickens and they won't tell me.

You know, they evolved from dinosaurs. Dinosaurs must have been big liars about the rain.

so why complain about death as if you think it's evil of God to impose death? Don't you like the idea of death? You're the one complaining, although I'm not a big fan of death. You, however, believe it's a part (I use the word as carefully as possible) of life via the "process of evolution."

Really? You do not understand? Inflicting death upon others is evil. Setting people up to fail is evil. That is what your God did in the myth. Can you reason like an adult? Please answer that last question especially.

Google "multiverse theory".

You're already notorious for never backing your claims with examples and particulars. No doubt such things feel restrictive to what you want to proclaim.

But this time, name me four of the 'many' relevant scientists you claim declare the universe came from nothing, and point to me where each of them sets out his or her view. It's your claim, you do the homework.

It certainly sounds like you don't want to believe this. Maybe you're starting with different premises that prevent you from reasoning to this very apparent truth.

It certainly sounds like you want to believe it whether it's true or not.

Chickens are good predictors of rain length. If they run for shelter it won't rain for long, if they stay out the rain has set in.

Dinosaurs are known liars and they move soil.

I'm not desperate. I will go over other definitions of lava from other sources. Do you say because National Geographic made a mistake about something else but corrected it, it cannot be trusted? You made the big deal about lava not being sediment. It comes from inside the volcano and flows on the ground and then cools. And settles there sometimes depending on situation. Want to argue with that?
And good morning!

I gave you multiple sources. Sometimes almost any source can be wrong, but National Geographic is not any sort of authority. So yes, you are desperate.

I don't trust chickens. They make this low key, soft clucking noise to lull you in and when you look down, you are surrounded by chickens.

Probably didn't even go extinct 65 million years ago. Probably went to Vegas and are just lying about their extinction. Big ole liars.

Lava soap is made of sediment.

What if you kill them with that joke from Monty Python that causes you to laugh yourself to death? I don't know if that would be evil.

I'm laughing at the lying dinosaurs, but that chicken observation seems to fit what I've seen.

So evolution confers death upon whatever evolves. So?

I've offered other definitions. Pay attention but really let's see...all your friends here who claim to believe in evolution acknowledge that death is what is the absolute final outcome of life. Even those who profess an association with a religion that professes belief in God. **mod edit** Doesn't much matter about lava.

 

[YoursTrue]

Hey when you die, flesh rots and usually turns to mush. Dust to dust or evolution to mush and chicken feed maybe. Chicken into bellies and mush. good old Monty Python.

Try again.

It is rather odd that you did not answer the question about having the ability to be honest.

I only remember you offering one that made that gross error.

And once again, please stop bearing false witness. People do not claim to "believe" in evolution. If one understands it one can know how life arose. You only have mere belief.

So do I understand you correctly? The bible god ordains and enacts human sacrifice, invasive war, massacres of surrendered populations, mass rapes, women as property, slavery as the norm, murderous religious prejudice. Therefore all those things meet with your moral approval?

Nobody has seen a lying dino give birth to anything but a lying dino. I spent a lot of time in my younger years observing chickens.

Of course I was only speaking to lurking chickens.
