..but I can't!

1. That site is addicting!
I'm glad it's back, though.

The nicest thing I can say about those people: they are sincere in their ignorance.

4. You're right, it is addictive
"There’s actually overwhelming evidence that dinosaurs have always lived with humans. We simply called them dragons. Man killed most of them, and there may be a few still alive today. The editors of Scientific American need to watch our video number three (Dinosaurs and the Bible) for more about this topic."

Kent Hovind, DrDino.com <2006-Jun-01>




Uh, dragons are fairy-tale creatures. (Wait a minute, I'm trying to reason with someone who takes the Bible literally. Duh!)





"Why do we not live 2,000 years and only about 80 years?

Because if we lived 2,000 years we would have had enough time to keep our souls going on for even longer through technology and our our own strength without reliance on God, even though we would still be sinning.

This actually makes sense to me. Wow!"

Troy, Biblocality <2006-Jun-02>




Yeah, you and nobody else.





"Female circumcision is not barbaric. It is done for a reason, to keep the female pure. If only we adopted such practices here in the UK, then maybe women would be less inclined toward infidelity and therefore family values would still be an integral part of society. Family values instill a sense of discipline and respect, which we need as a counteraction against the modern trend of zero respect and zero discipline that is undermining the very fabric of our decaying society."

Mr Jangles, BBC News <2006-Jun-02>



So cutting off the organ that provides sexual pleasure will promote fidelity? Well come on over so I can castrate you dearie.



"Science for all purposes are bunk. Only word of GOD rules. As such global warming theory is bunk The second coming of Jesus Christ theory (as noted in the bible) is proven and fact, and must be materialized."

Left Behind Advocate, Political Animal <2006-Jun-03>



:dunce:




"(After someone says they would beat a guy into a coma for wearing blush or eyeliner)

Don't settle for a coma, be a real republican and beat him to death. Mercy is for democrats"

Just Joe, Myspace <2006-Jun-03>




Compassionate Conservatism at work. :sarcasm:



"you are implying that we override all moral standards of living just so homsexuals can spread Aids, leave poopy condoms everywhere, have anal sex in front of innocent children. If we set this example for children and call it "very good" we tell them that a man and a woman do not need to breed to continue humanity. How many more churches have to be burnt down before you liberals finally get it?"

Origen, Sean Hannity Discussion Forum <2006-Jun-05>


How many logical fallacies can you count in this argument?





"Government intrusion in family affairs is a big problem.

Not that I advocate abuse, but why can’t we smack the crap out of our kids anymore?"

Bob Parks, Mens Daily News <2006-Jun-06>




Apparently "smacking the crap out of your kids" doesn't constitute abuse in Bob's mind. :eyes:




"Man can only think so many thoughts. All are found in the Bible."

Betrayed, Free Conservatives <2006-Jun-10>



F*ck you. Is that found in the Bible?

6. Oh, so THAT's how Noah was able to fit all those animals in the ark!
By cryogenically freezing their eggs and sperm, duh. I have to admit the Bible Bar sounds pretty good.

8. Do they even read the Bible?
What's this tripe about people living only 80 years? Methuselah lived to be over 900 years, and other patriarchs lived for centuries as well, according to the Bible. Why don't we do this now?

9. WOW....I sent that link out to some of the people I know...
I am particularly amused by the "anti-science":

"so gravity is like magnetism?? why doesnt the "Vaccum" of space suck out the magnetic properties??"

"liberals are usully retarded, so they need to watch hollywood movies to get educated, or look up wikipedia because they think it's hip. Only conservatives still read books and scientific journals.
Everyone knows that liberals are most likely to embrace new age, pseudo-scientific junk."

The fallacies of gravity

just curious if anyone can explain these errors that many people are aware of when it comes to the theory of gravity

number 1. the way gravity reads, scientists have you think that objects of larger mass would have more of a gravitational pull then objects of smaller mass. so tell me how this makes sense

when we look at the sun we see the earth orbiting the sun, and the moon obriting the earth. if gravity were true, shouldnt our moon be orbiting the sun??? oh better yet, how come a planet way out in the distance such as neptune will orbit the sun, yet its moons will not orbit the sun??? something is wrong here, even at thise immense distances the moons will orbit the planets and not the sun, yet the suns "gravity" is strong enough supposedly to keep the planets in orbit.

number 2. why is it, only planets have orbits?? you could put a space shuttle in outter space and a astronaut will not orbit it. you could put the smallest pebbble into outter space and it will not orbit the space shuttle. why is this???? if gravity were true then surely such small objects would orbit larger ones, especially in space

number 3. on earth we see things that defy "gravity" on a daily basis. birds and airplanes for example. are you going to tell me that the gravity of the sun is strong enough to keep PLUTo in orbit but not an airplane or a little bird??????

number 4. scientists dont know how gravity works. or what it really is, and even then we see anaomolies in space that defy gravity

so my point is that gravity(like other scientifist "tHeories" is very on shaky grounds. it doesnt have the evidnece to back it up, and when examined critically it falls under the pressure(no pun intended )

show me a pebble that orbits a mountain or a bird that orbits the earth and then gravity will make sense. or better yet just show me how gravity works(if it works at all) and then maybe it will be more than just a theory

how do you evolutionsts explain gravity???"


******************************************************************************************************

Personally, I thnk gravity is pretty obvious, especially if you've ever used a rickety ladder to clean out gutters....:D

11. Or "Show me Gm(1)m(1) / r^2 and my head will explode..... in orbit."
Edited on Sun Jun-18-06 04:14 AM by Random_Australian
Would be more accurate.

I think that we may be dealing with a very good troll.... surely a real one wouldn't put 'no pun intended' ???

I hope to abscence of God that it is so.

13. I hope this guy isn't an Admiral in some Navy:
"Modern Navies derive the concept of an aircraft carrier from Noah's Ark.

An aircraft carrier carries a variety of planes over a long distance. The advantage of having a carrier is to extend the airpower of a nation without having to depend on air-bases to refuel.

Similarly, Noah's Ark deployed a variety of birds, each with a certain purpose. Each bird was feed and kept in its own sleeping quarters. <...>

Noah deployed a Raven, the smartest bird in the world, for a re-con mission. He also sent a Dove. Thus, the concept of deploying flying craft from a boat."

16. That is one of the funniest things I've read there
What sort of "recon missions" do ravens and doves do, exactly? :rofl:

17. Ravens are smart? I guess so, when you consider some other
bird species, but I think Eagles are smarter, and Robins don't appear to be remarkably stupid.

I guess tossing a Dodo or an Emu off the side of the Ark would have defeated the purpose of having them fly back, but who am I to argue w/such incredible logic? :eyes:

18. Ravens are also indicated as unclean by the Bible
( Leviticus 11:15 and Deuteronomy 14:14)

As far as which birds are most intelligent, here are some opinions:


While parrots have the distinction of being able to mimic human speech, studies with the African Grey Parrot have shown that some are able to associate words with their meanings (see Alex). Along with parrots, the crows, ravens, and jays (family Corvidae) are perhaps the most intelligent of birds. (The article goes on to discuss how bird intelligence is determined)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_intelligence



If a bird dominant to the jays saw them store their food, the jays would move the cache later when the dominant bird was not watching.

But if the bird allowed to watch the treat being hidden was subordinate, or a mate, the jays did not later re-cache their food -- presumably because they could fight off subordinates that try to steal their food, the researchers wrote.

"These results suggest scrub-jays remember who observed them make specific caches," Dally's team wrote.

Jays are members of a group of birds called corvids, which include crows, jays and ravens and which biologists consider to be the most intelligent species of bird.

19. I am duly impressed...ornithology is not my expertise although
I do find some birds fascinating.

I do not care for Gulls and the like, "rats of the skies", as I refer to them. But we have some interesting Golden Eagles in these parts that just play the currents for all their worth while looking for food...beautiful things to watch...:)

21. It's not mine either
But I do love to watch birds (and animals in general). I enjoy watching them pick about the yard looking for something to eat or bathing in puddles after a rain storm. Listening to their twittering as night turns to morning is also a treat.

20. Well, he didn't pick the blue-footed booby, now did he.
That would have been a stupid choice. Maybe the raven and the dove were just conveniently placed in the cryogenic freezer, like in the door, and he just grabbed them and thawed them out.
