She makes her prediction here.

For real! Go on over and vote-- but come back here when youre done. You see, Im going to prove to everyone (including James Randi!) I am psychic. No matter how many of you vote... No matter how many of you vote for Yes/No/Maybe... I know what the outcome of this poll will be:

YES: 50%
NO: 25%
MAYBE: 25%

Then, if you hit 'refresh' the results will change to:
YES: 57%
NO: 14%
MAYBE: 29%

Am I psychic, or are the producers of EXPELLED lying sacks of shit who have rigged their own poll?


She has the link on her site: go to it, then vote on the poll and see what the results are, then hit "refresh".

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.

Another example of this guy's lunacy here.

That's F'd up.

I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

You are free to believe what you want to believe and I am free to ridicule you for it.

You know, the Bible doesn't really forbid lying in most instances. You can't lie to harm other people, but you can lie to boost your agenda, maybe? I don't know, you can make an argument the subverting science really is harmful to everyone. But there's an uncomfortably large portion of people who simply couldn't care less.

Origin of life? Origin of the universe? How old is the Earth? Who gives a shit? God did it, question answered, now lets get back to living life. I know people like this - I have an uncle-in-law who's many flaws include, and this is completely serious, not knowing what stars are. Yup. Sun = star, no idea. Stars = huge balls of hot gas, no idea. Don't know, don't care.

That being said; Darwin's theories ARE outdated... Of course, the modern TOE has little to do with them... But let's not confuse Mr Stein.

Also, after Yoko Ono/ John Lennon; I think Angus Young should sue the bastards! The school-boy uniform is HIS trademark, after all...

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Yes, no, maybe the poll is boogered. They lie about everything else, so why not that? Never entirely trust someone with an agenda, especally if that agenda in any way concerns you.

How true that is! Which is why so many 'acomplishment' stories get heavily embelished, even unto the point of lying.

That reminds me of this one time I was tying my shoes and well, long story short, the Prince won't be caught without a saddle anytime soon, and my shoes never came untied that day.

Always late to the game, but the results I saw were:

Yes - 54%
No - 39%
Maybe - 7%

Looks like they fixed the bug that always displayed 50-25-25...
Still, I'm curious if that counter actually works.
