"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

Now I'm convined. When the laws of physics break down, that only means one thing: conspiracy. Super-advanced aliens? Or secret Pentagon R&R project? Or perhaps Pat Robertson really was right, and God was using His supernatural power to cause the building to fall so fast. Either way, Verlch, this one's the one that got me. Thanks for showing me the light! |

Right. And I believe that all people are intelligent. Except for when they aren't. |

This all leads me to my question to Verlich:

YOu guys are having a feild day with me, due to a, ehhhhem stance about the Origins of Life.
Had I agreed with you about the Origins of Complex life, I'm sure you would be less in attack mode about other Conspiracy theories....
Anyways, you fellas are a hoot.
Have a great weekend! |
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."

No, you'd still be wrong about 9/11 for a variety of reasons. I only brought up your incorrect logic on numerous other subjects because it is symptomatic of your deeply magical thinking in general. I notice, for example, that you haven't bothered to say that you've changed your mind about bats, despite the facts being in easy reach. You'd just much prefer to believe your own made-up fairy tale. |

My goodness, but this is an interesting thread, albeit a trifle redundant.
I would like to add that a contained but well-ventilated kerosene fire will certainly burn hot enough to turn a steel girder dull red in a very short time. Under pressure, such as from a hauck burner, it will come quickly to cherry red; either color being more than hot enough to severely weaken the structure. Add pure oxygen (heh) and the whole thing becomes an explosive that will go off spontaneously. I have wondered if there might not have been an oxygen tank of two, for whatever use, in the vicinity of the hits. But I don't know if it would have mattered much to the overall result. It could, however, be an explanation for any explosions.
I am reading that Jailhouse Judy and the NYT had advance info on the attack and chose not to run it. If true, why?

In my advanced placement US History class we watched "loose change" recently. We will be having a discussion about the film soon. I feel fairly confident that I can back up my position, but I would like to get a few things. first of all, there was a post recently about new video footage about the pentagon being released. I can't find the actual video. any one want to find it for me?
I there a graph of the Put Options through time? I have the numbers but a graph would be great. |

It looks like you can see the videos here at Judicial Watch... Defense Department Releases Two Videos of Flight 77 Crashing Into Pentagon. These are Flash videos, and I don't use that plug-in, so I can't tell for sure if that's what you're looking for. I believe Judicial Watch was the organization which was primarily responsible for having this video material released to the public, so this is probably the right stuff.

I think that might be the old video with missing frames because all you see is nothing--then fireball. No plane is ever visible, which I believe is how many of the "it was a missile!" conspiracies began.

Yeah, I saw one thing in the first movie that kinda sorta looked like something, But the skeptical side of me wants more. it seems very possible that the plane was moving fast enough not to be seen on a single frame, but it would be nice if it was captured on film. |
