  • [quote]Any good web links that explain some of this stuff in bone-head terms so a guy like myself can comprehend? Don't know of any good web sites, right off, but I highly recommend the book "Flatland". It was written in the late 19th century…
    in Autodynamics versus Relativity Comment by tjm March 2002
  • I understand the frustration of some of you, but you're going to have to deal with reality. We are all products of our history. And history means more than "during your lifetime." For generations, every position of power in every institution in…

  • As to the White Pride thing, ponder for a minute the history of the White people. We (as I am in that group) have accomplished a great many positive things - the American Constitution is probably one of the greatest gifts to civilization in history…

  • This is a glaring example of the "Straw Man" argument. The author has defined the Left in such an extreme, biased way that of course they end up looking stupid. A classic technique in propaganda wars (used by Liberals and Conservatives alike). …

  • To play Pollyanna for a moment, suppose you had gotten one of those jobs and moved across the country somewhere? From his perspective, he may be absolutely delighted that you hadn't gotten a job elsewhere so you would be there with him when he need…

  • [quote]Originally posted by MarcUK: Well, it all happened in the same 7 days, right? Hmmm. An angle on this I hadn't noticed before. If God cast Satan out of Heaven to the Earth, then the earth had to exist to catch him. Since it is gener…

  • [quote]Originally posted by NoahJ: DNA is one constant that we find in all living things. Truthfully, I cannot explain why 99% of our DNA is the same as a chimp. I am not God. Looking at a chimp there are many feature similarities and other …

  • [quote]Originally posted by jesperas: TJM, great explanation about Affirming the Consequent. I agree that evolution doesn’t discount the possibility of god, but I think it may discount the possibility of certain religions’ interpretation of Christi…

  • [quote]Originally posted by NoahJ: Well, that is a good point. My post was not well worded in that respect and now I have been caught a bit flat footed. I would have to say that I agree, for the most part, in how you interpret being i…

  • [quote]Originally posted by NoahJ: Yes I believe that. The Bible states that He made man in His own image. That image was not a squirrel or a chimpanzee. Now this is something we can actually discuss. What does "in God's image" …
    in Theists... Satan? Comment by tjm March 2002
