here, cooling their heels at Liberty University (10,000 students!) at the invitation of Jerry Falwell.

Ah, to be a fly on the wall of that conference. These are some of the world's most educated, lying ignoramus' to be found anywhere today.

And they'll all be in one place, too.......

I have to plan on being at that one.

What came first the chicken or the egg?

How do plants exist without bugs in the soil, and bugs in the soil without plants producing oxygen?

There are no atheists in foxholes

Underlying the evolutionary theory is not just the classic "stuff" of science — conclusions arrived at through prolonged observation and experimentation. Evolution is first an atheistic, materialistic world view. In other words, the primary reason for its acceptance has little to do with the evidence for or against it. Evolution is accepted because men are atheists by faith and thus interpret the evidence to cor-respond to their naturalistic philosophy.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. II Timothy 4:3,4

II Thess. 2:11 And for this cause God shall
send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

You can not see the 'wind', but you can see its effect!!!!

Evolution was caused by genetic mistakes at each stage?

Radical Evolution has 500 million years to find fossils of fictional drawings of (hard core)missing links, yet they find none.

We have not seen such moral darkness since the dark ages, coencides with
teaching evolution in schools. (Moral darkness)

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, EPH 6:12.

"Thus, many scientists embracing naturalism find themselves in the seeming dilemma recently articulated by biochemist Franklin Harold: "We should reject, as a matter of principle, the substitution of intelligent design for the dialogue of chance and necessity [i.e., Darwinian evolution]; but we must concede that there are presently no detailed Darwinian accounts of the evolution of any biochemical system, only a variety of wishful speculations."

Darn lotta Dr's appearing, it can't be bullshit

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.

I bet they will all resemble massive colonies of buzzing insects. It will be like a church revival! Only they are going to use fancier words.

If a tsunami were to strike there, the average world IQ would rise by several points.

Not that I wish them any physical harm, mind you, despite how reprehensible I find them to be.

Speaking of which, I'm surprised that we have made it to TAM 3 and have not had a woo-woo try to blow it up. Or did I miss that story?

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

I wonder if they are going to have one in Virginia anytime soon...

The majority of the speakers at this absurd meeting are very intelligent. It never ceases to amaze me how someone with that much brain power would harness it not to discover truth but to support a belief system that has no evidence to back it up. I think most of these people believe what they are saying - think of the effort that must be used for these guys to delude themselves from objectively looking at the evidence.

Goes to show that IQ is only part of the picture.

By the way I don't recall seeing any women lecturers... sounds like it is right up Verlich's ally.





If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know.

Are you implying that there would be advocates of evolution at Falwell's pathetic excuse for a school? That's rather amusing V.

Nope, that ain't the one. That one's been under there for years 'cause it's a dud that I haven't carried to the dump yet.

The one I'm looking for is the one given to me by Bush that I was supposed to smuggle into Iraq, but didn't.

Ain't that just my luck! Now that I have a use for it, I can't find the fucker!

If you happen to come across a large suitcase....
