JS> OK. But the head is destroyed _after_ it has gone through the birth

Looks like you need an anatomy book, too.

JS> One thing for sure, woman who gave testimony on this was not an

Neither were several of the Catholic women who testified before congress
on the fact that they would not be here without the procedure...which had
been done with the blessing of their church.

RC> they [women] don't eat the right "meat".  See, it's all about sex
RC> and power and control.  Bother.

But wasn't it Jesus who was supposed to have said 'it isn't what goes
into a man's mouth that makes him unclean, but what comes out of it' ?

(Another clue to JC being gay?)

And why not do human cloning? It would be absolutely fascinating to have
a clone of myself and see what I could have become without all the shit
that fucked me over the first time.

You'll have to ask Kat.  I just happened to have her URL in front of

Realistic?....from someone who claims to stroll around with dead
Presidents? GUFFAW!
And what does Velikovsky have to do with YOUR claims of strolling around
Mt. St. Helens with "former President Harry Truman" a decade AFTER
Truman died? Trying a little distraction, are We?
Whatsamatter, don't like being shown for the pathological liar that you

Quote, Lurie, quote! After all, that's all you can do - there isn't an

I liked the '60s version. You could dial a number in New York and get
the listing for every planned demonstration in the country. I ran up a

The only evidence so far is the accused bomber's admission that
he did it and that he was a militia member, from whence he received
the training necessary to blow up the building. That he chose to 
do it when it was most populated, rather than in the middle of
the night, indicates he was intending to be as violent as possible.

Rod Swift said to Richard Smith about Smegma Staalin:

RodS> It is customary in educational circles to only refer
RodS> to yourself *after* college as a *major* if one has
RodS> passed it.  If not, you can only claim to have studied
RodS> some units in an attempt to gain a major... :)
RichS> Almost totally true.  Here in the states, though, 
RichS> often people will speak of their Major, even though 
RichS> they may not hae attained it.
RodS> Correctly, they normally state that they are either 
RodS> *studying* to achieve it, or have graduated it with
RodS> the major stream completed.

We must have been inordinately relaxed about that back in
the MidWest.

RichS> We're somewhat relaxed about it.  But you're still
RichS> correct, as far as real etiquette is concerned, I
RichS> suppose.
RodS> Most definitely.  Given that Jim didn't graduate, and 
RodS> Jim hence did not gain the academic qualification nor 
RodS> the degree program requirements for an English Major, 
RodS> he's just as plain and ordinary as the rest of you.

And he only matriculates when he thinks that no one is
watching.

RodS> "Once studied towards" doesn't mean shit.  I could 

Seems to do very well for Brawley, even IF he can't add or
subtract on a numberline, figure out there is only one size
infinity, etc. . . . 

RodS> take one unit in first-year physics aiming toward a 
RodS> degree in theoretical physics.  I wouldn't sprout 
RodS> about being a "theoretical physics major", and imply 
RodS> that I am actually a trained and educated theoretical
RodS> physicist.  That would be duplicitous :)

That would be Brawley . . .

RodS> It's also exactly what Jimbozo is doing :)
RodS> We call it lying :)

Well, at least he's consistent.

rods> I doubt he's currently an English major! :)
RichS>  Oh, you got that right.
RodS> :)  But of course. :)

Judging from the mangling the tongue takes by him . . .

rods> To be so, he'd have to have graduated from a degree
rods> program with such a recognised major stream.
RichS> And, presumably, he'd have to know something
RichS> about English.
RodS> Correct :)  He has shown much evidence to the contrary :)

Exactly.  And there's nothing more shameful than a person
who can't grasp their native tongue.

smith> ROFLMGDAO . . . gads, I don't have the heart to tell
smith> the lil' feller . . .  . . .
rods> Well, in Jimson's world, black people probably don't
rods> exist :)
RichS> They probably live in a more upscale trailor park, or
RichS> in actual houses.
RodS> Or they're just like Amos, Andy, or maybe even Rosa,
RodS> if she'll sit at the back of the bus :)

"Wilbur don't 'low no guitar playing 'round here!"

rods> Neither do gay people probably.  Both those groups
rods> have had marches of more than 500,000 in
rods> Washington :)
RichS>  True.  And the blacks had the first official Million Man
RichS>  March, though there may be some controversy about numbers.
RodS> Uh, the GLBT March on Washington was before the Million Man
RodS> march.  Of course, I suppose the war protests certainly had 
RodS> a helluva lot of people in Washington too :) :)

But wasn't the Million Man March the first one to bill
itself as a Million Man March?

smith> I think they could have marched right across Jimson's
smith> instep and he'd still not have noticed . . .
rods> Some of them probably did.  :) :)  Remember, he likes
rods> leather, and someone named "Wilbur" and gay biker
rods> bars :)
RichS>  I bet he's a bottom, not a top.
RodS> Oh boy!  Won't Chris be excited :) :)

There you go, you've now got entertainment for your bachelor
party(-ies) . . .

rods> Heck, I bet the Lesbian Avengers could organise a
rods> better March on Washington than the Promisefilth.
RichS>  Or Queer Nation.
RodS> QN, or Act-up, or even the PFLAG Ladies Auxilliary :)

Or even the Dancing Dorothys.

smith> You know, you just can't buy entertainment like this.
rods> That's why it should be in the FAQ :)
smith>  Saved for posterity . . .
rods> Only if it is Jim's, and if I get to pull it outta
rods> there on a regular basis...
RichS> I hope you have a good milkcrate to stand on before you fist
RichS> the mister . . . 
RodS> Fist-a-mister.  It's not only a tagline, but an echo
RodS> tradition.

Sounds almost like an attraction at a Carny Midway . . .

RodS> :)  And I get to sit on the milkcrate... He gets to sit on
RodS> something else :) :) *wink*
RodS> For the humour impaired, btw, I'm "not into that". :)

LOL . . . now you've confused Jimson for SURE.

bh> Why did the sheet of all the animals represent the Gentiles?
bh> Because of the Noachide covenant.
DM> The sheet of all the animals refers to the ruling that ALL are
DM> eligible to join the Ku Klux Klan; yea, some quadrupeds there have
DM> risen to the rank of Kleagal and even Wizard on the basis of their
DM> superior IQs. Noachide is, of course, an early version of Naugahide,
DM> a humane replacement for sheepskin upon which covenants, diplomas,

bh> In this way, Peter was taught that even those who are not
bh> Jewish, and eat all meats, are also to be saved by Messiah.
bh> Thus Peter said, "God has shown me not to call any MAN
bh> unclean."
DM> "for by the separation of his toes, MAN parteth the hoof, and by

Hey there, Norman.

ns> I would like some advice please.
ns> I have discovered that I can post things I read in
ns> here to other {Fido} echo's.  Is this OK?

Ah, absolute power at last!    It depends on where you
post it.  Some echos might not appreciate receiving some of
this stuff.

ns> They would be local echo's (England), where I feel that
ns> they ought to have an idea of what is going on in some
ns> sections of "Christianity" in other parts of the world.
ns> What are the rules?

I don't think there are any hard fast rules.  I would say,
if you were reposting something of mine, that I would
appreciate it at the very least if you give me proper credit
for it, and put down where it came from.  I imagine the
others would feel somewhat the same about their words.

If you play the Pink Floyd album Dark Side Of The Moon whilst

It wasn't planned that way, but coincidence can be pretty extreme
sometimes.

HS> the bible talks about nuclear bombs, cars, and even earth
HS> here is one example (of many)

I'd like to hear more.

HS> Many people assummed that the earth was flat until Columbus made his
HS> westward voyage in 1492 AD. Most thought they would fall over the edge.

Whoah, whoah, whoah. That is WRONG. Very few, if any, people
thought the world was flat at that time. The Greeks realised
that the world was round somewhere around 600 BC simply from
viewing the shape of the horizon - and, in fact, long before
Jesus' time the Greek mathematician Hipparchus calculated the
circumference of the earth reasonably accurately. (Ptolemy also
tried but he was way off the mark). The reason nobody wanted to
sail westward from Europe to Asia was that they didn't know about
the continent of America. They were simply worried about being
away from land for so long.

HS> Commom sense said the world was flat,

Hmm, hardly.

HS> but GOD stated in approx., 712 BC that it was round. 

So did the Greeks. (Where did you get such an accurate date
from?)

HS> you believe what that person says, and i'll belive what the bible
HS> says, there you go problem fixed :)

Hardly proof of the Bible's overall accuracy.

HS> and allso i don't care what anyone one says, i believe there is a GOD
HS> for he has answer my prayers

If God was so wonderful why was your dog crook in the first
place?

HS> thats GOD for me, he's my best friend. because i don't care what
HS> anyone says human friends will ALLWAYS let you down(at one time or
HS> another) but not GOD. 

I used to be fairly religious. I've read most of the Bible and I
believed in God and Jesus the Christ. However, for reasons known
only to himself, the old sod made my life a misery. I started to
have doubts. Ever since I decided that God didn't exist and that
Jesus was a phony, my life has improved immensely. I now control
my own destiny rather than wasting my time trying to petition a
being that nobody has seen. I now am able to look at things with
a critical rather than prejudiced eye. I no longer believe that
you have to believe in God to be a good person. My life is a
whole lot more fun, and I no longer fear death. If that doesn't
suit you, then so be it. But I'm happy now.

HS> so instead of trying to find something to degrade the bible, why not
HS> quit while your behind, and find GOD? 

I'm trying to. Really, I am. But I won't believe in something
that to me makes no sense.

HS> please forgive me Fleage, Almaz, Booger, and RMb190?? if i said
HS> something of my OWN accord to offend you.

You haven't, don't worry.

HS> and the people that are ofended are the ones that don't like the light

It seems that Christians get offended whenever anyone mentions
even one error in the Bible.

Take care.

I didn't give the spelling a single thought until you pointed out the

WAS a mistake?  

I have not "repeated" it since you corrected me, I checked the 
Encyclopedia to see which was correct, and reported that you were 
correct and Berlinski's "Leibnitz" was wrong.  At least give credit 
where it's due; you're beating a dead horse.

I picked one described as a) for the layman, b) descriptive, c) simple,

d) without many _formulae_, and e) by someone who supposedly knew his 
shit.  I picked it also because the ad for it appeared in 
_Science_News_, which I highly respect.

I had to start _somewhere_, and that seemed like a good place to start.

It still does.  I understood more about "the calculus" by reading the 
Berlinski than I got from any of the other half-dozen or so higher level

and formula-filled college texts I already had, all of which assumed 
basic knowledge I didn't possess.

Obviously not, but I _will_ persist in claiming 'standard' math does not

have the formal concepts enabling me to justify the axiomatic 
underpinnings of my "Tetrahedraverse" concept-structure.  Some others 
here have amply confirmed that, and since you've refused to counter with

anything definitively oppositional, I have no choice but to assume you 
agree.

One is not guilty of "repeating" a _mistake_ unless one _knows_ it is a

mistake.  The same is true of a Fundie-cretinist repeating ICR lies; he

is not a liar himself, he's just repeating what he _thinks_ (or 
_believes_, in the case of a Fundie) is true.   If you want to call him

a liar anyway, well, that's your business, but it's a cognitive 
distortion--"mislabelling"--to do so.

You didn't answer my second question.  I've asked it now several times,

watching for the answer that'd lead me to believe _you_ know what you're

talking about.  You've snuck around it each time, including this 
time.

Did you READ the Berlinski book, or are you just talkin' through 
your hat?

Don't bother.  I do the same, and know how to fake it or 'talk my way 
in' to the U. of Missouri and Washington U. libraries.

I have several subjects for that sort of heavy research, in order of 
importance:

Quantum nonlocality (clarifications and improvements)
"Tetrahedraverse's" underpinnings (topology),
more on point-source pleochroic haloes in biotite, and now
(recent info, not from you), "triangulated" ('tetrahedronized') 
spacetime manifolds.

None of them are currently in sufficient order to be efficiently hunted,

but late Spring/ early Summer should see some opportunity.  I'd actually

rather pay a professor for a few hours' discussion, but my finances may

prohibit that.

But on our specific subject of discussion: I've already found that what

I need doesn't exist, so what's the point in beating a library to death

looking for what ain't there?

Why not be complete?  Besides, I had already given you the page numbers.

It thinks so.  In fact, it thinks zero is the _only_ OTHER 'number.'

But then, it's just a dumb machine with no philosophical bent.

I could transfer to another, but not myself use, algebraic means of

quite accurately in a geometric sense, but there are no _numbers_ or 
_formulae_ in the visuals; it's all pictures.

RC> So who was it that hated you enough to suggest Berlinski?

I guess it was me.  (*grin*)  I saw a blurb in _Science_News_, which I 
trust, and bought it.

For me, despite Berlinski's literally awful and self-indulgent story- 
telling techniques, his book was _just_ what I needed, to start.  I'm 
still not finished with it, since when he got into the "hard stuff" and

formulae began to appear more often, I read the text and avoided the 
formulae.  I have to go back and re-do some of it.

I was (and am) interested primarily in the _underpinnings_of_thought_, 
the basic concepts that led to what the calculus is now, not in the 
formal math techniques and methodologies that grew from those 
fundamental concepts.

For example, I knew, early on in the book, where it reveals that 
"infinitesimals" as discrete items were NOT going to be employed, but 
rather that I was going to have to go back to hassling with "limits," 
that the book was going to spend most of its time in an area that was 
not useful to me.  It's much harder to pay attention when the professor

goes off in a direction that can't possibly explain or help with the 
concept one enterted the class to find out about in the first place.

You have the same problem.  You have not been dealing with what's 
inmportant to me to find out about.   Like Berlinski, you try to take me

places that do not address the core problem: justifying a geotopology 
that starts from _scratch_ with slightly different precepts than those 
of 'standard math.'  IOW, you're not telling me what I need to know; 
you're telling me what _you_think_ I need to know.  _I_know_ what I need

to know, and it ain't what you've been telling me so far.  
Tetrahedraverse _cannot_operate_ at its fundemental level as any kind of

_continuous_ object.  It is _inherently_ discrete at the most 
fundamental level.  It does cross over, yes, but that's for later.  ALL

I need is to find a way to describe T-verse's _origins_ in 'standard' 
math terminology, and I only need _that_ to keep math types like you 
from hollering "foul!"

No one operating mostly out of his expertise is likely to appear 
knowledgeable.  "Higher" math is just NOT my forte', nor my interest.  I

just find I have no choice but to deal with the damn stuff, in order to

prevent math types from cancelling T-verse's validity _merely_ because I

talk with marbles in my mouth....

RC> More importantly, can you manage not to mislead yourself?

Robert, if the thread I need to follow is there in 'standard' math TO 
FOLLOW, I can avoid confusing myself.  The issue isn't whether or not I

can understand correctly, it is whether or not what I'm trying to learn

is going to be _useful_ in the specific application I have to mess with.

When Berlinski got beyond the early mention of Leibiz sitting in his 
redoubt and squeezing his fingers together, thinking about "the smallest

possible number greater than zero," and when he (Berlinski) led me to 
think that he was going to _leave_ an examination of the concept of 
infinitesimals and move into the way the calculus gets around it 
("limits") without dealing with it directly, I knew he was going off in

a direction not helpful to me.  The math I need is a _discrete_ math, 
and one that 'naturally' sits in/on a network of vertex order twelve.

IF you think that whatever you have to offer will stay _on_that_path_, 
then I'll happily follow your arguments.  BUT, if what you're going to 
do is require me to learn what _you_ think I need to learn, I'm going to

SEE that you're leading me away from the core issue (just as I saw the 
point where Berlinski departed from 'infinitesimals'), and I'll object.

You'll call me names and proclaim my ignorance, and I'll stop bothering.

I can manage not to mislead myself.  Can you manage not to confuse "me 
misleading myself" with me simply objecting to where the leading is 
apparently _going_?

Yes and no.  Yes, you have confused a man with a clear, but not very 
simple geo-topological entity that he has created from nothing, which 
has _specific_ axioms, and which needs to find a correspondence with 
'standard math language,' with a man simply refusing to learn what 
someone else thinks he should learn; and no, since I have no desire to 
learn math for no other reason than to learn math.

(I have no interest in math in general --'math for math's sake'; it does

not excite me like mineralogy, theology, music, and some other things 
do.  I DO have intense interest in whatever in math can be used to 
_describe_ Tetrahedraverse without provoking the sort of commentaries on

my ignorance that this discussion has led you to provide.  I seek 'the 
proper forms of speech' that seem to be required of me, in order to 
speak to the Priesthood.

I think that math can represent reality with astonishing purity.
I do not think that math _IS_ reality.

I cannot, with that stance, 'place DesCarte before the horse.'

I agree (I have no idea what "bijective" means).  Are you saying, then,

that the above quote refers only to mapping one topological object onto

another, separate, topological object, and NOT necessarily to the points

in the _same_ object?  That is, should I interpret it to mean that 
points in the same object _can_ coalesce?

Can that be squared with the idea that if they CAN coalesce in any 
single object, that object can then be transformed into ANY other object

simply by coalescing ALL the points to one, and then reconstructing 
whatever the object wanted is, by UNcoalescing them in whatever order 
and direction we care to?

It _seems_, from the quote itself, that he means points in the _same_ 
object cannot be coalesced (as well, I suppose, as points in two 
different objects), since he says "distinct points in __A__ figure..." 
[emphasis mine -jb].

Your opinion?

(I note for the record that while T-verse required noncoalescence, and 
its 'origin sequence' allowed of nothing less, the above quote was 
another one of those made _necessary_ for me to find (long _after_ my 
concept had settled in me), in order to shut down the objectors, who, 
like you, spent much time and effort impugning my "math knowledge.")

I don't see where that's different in principle from what I just said?
How can two equivalent statements devolve to only one of them being 
"nonsense?"

(Oh... I reread what I wrote.  Sorry.  You took my phrase "minimum 
closeness" to mean "minimally close," the same as "maximally distant?"

That right?  If so, I'm sorry.  Again, my horribly imprecise phrasing 
gets in the way.  The picture was right; the words I used messed it up.

My apologies if that's the case.  I _meant_ "the idea of minimum 
distance [maximum closeness] before coalescence is trivially obvious." 

Is that better?  

So, what is the difference between "a minimum closeness before 
coalescence" (meaing minimal distance between) and "as close as you 
like, provided the distance is greater than ZERO?"



That maximum closeness which is short of coalescence, IS a distance 
greater than zero, is it not?  (Zero distance IS coalescence.)

NOW can we agree, and agree from a topology _text_ instead of my poor 
phrasing?

That which proceeds from axioms of Euclid, and/or Peano, and which seems

to be what my detractors are arguing from when claiming I can't start 
Tetrahedraverse with a single default point, and can't refer to a 
"sphere" unless I have a prior metric, and can't -create- a metric from

nothing by means of the above.  A huge mathematical Catch-22, in other 
words.  That which arises from Euclid's circular definitions of 
"line"and "point."  That math which has been claimed by some over the 
years to disallow my specific topological object, solely by means of 
these circular axioms and extensions therefrom.

That math which some claim possesses, but which does not in actuality 
appear to possess, refutatory arguments against forming this object of 
mine from nothing.

That math which took a slightly different direction after Euclid, than 
the direction this object seems to take.

That math which some think _precedes_, but imho _follows_from_, super- 
fundamental geometric axioms.

(That math which seems to suggest that labels --"numbers"-- precede 
objects; that math which seems to claim that the concept "one" precedes

-- is more fundamental than-- the concept "point.")

That math which uses a complex thing as if it were a primary one ("the 
empty set").

Lastly, and perhaps most inclusively, that math which limits itself to 
the preceptive condition "continuous," rather than discrete.

No, sir, I am not asking for a "number" AT ALL.  This is about _points_,

which are not only "locations" (if in a background), but also 'things- 
in-themselves' (if NOT in a background), and which do not carry around 
little label-tags with _numbers_ on them, and do not create little 
label-tags with numbers on them _between_ them.

(*Sheesh.  Can you not imagine a 'thing' without having to stick a damn

_number_ on it?*)

RC> I suggest you stick with the simplest answer, using the integers.
RC> With that restriction to a discrete set, the answer is exactly one.

I long since simply called a point a "one," ("one point") and called 
"(dmin)" (that distance less than which two points become one point), a

unit --a "distance of 'one' unit."  But it's _arbitrary_.  I need a way

to speak of the primary underlying concept, that _justifies_ me doing 
that.

Distances less than this are impossible, hence there are no fractions of

(dmin) possible, so this is a _discrete_ entity--"one indivisible unit 
of distance."  However, distances greater than (dmin) _are_ possible 
(trivially obvious), so fractions can be used within a range from (dmin)

to 2*(dmin)  (at which distance something too complicated to word takes

place in the compressed spherical network of vertex order twelve).

We (Roger and I, and some others) have no problem _working_with_ this 
object.  The problem is more fundamental than simply saying "It's THUS!"

(axiomatically).  Anybody can do that.  All 'standard' math proceeds 
from someone hollering "It's THUS," and just going on with what he wants

to do with his "THUS!"

I don't want to do that.  It divorces the construct's obviousness from 
fundamental philosophical reality --divorces the axioms of the construct

from the claim that it must be _inevitable_ from "nothing," that no 
other construct is logically possible.

"Precept must be upon precept."  Hollering "THUS!" speaks not a word of

predecessory precept, and that's going to get me nowhere.

We (I) simply desire an acceptable, unarguable, 'mathematically' 
nonobjectionable way to say or to write "that (minimum) distance less 
than which two points coalesce."


JB> If I am forced to neologisms

RC> You are not forced to coin those hideous creations, John.

You weren't there.  It sure came down like that.  It was either create a

neologism or waste hour after hour arguing about whether or not my 
"point" and the mathematician's/geometer's 'point' were equivalent 
enough to let me use the word in text.  I just capitulated, and wound up

angering them even more when my neologism "piont" turned out not to be 
neologistic ENOUGH.  (*grin*)

Give when it's proper to.  We do NOT count _things_ in a pile by taking

the first one in our hands, like standing on the first block, and 
ignoring it, to count only the _second_ one as "one."


Our argument is about an apparently imperfectly-crossable boundary 
between continuous and discrete.

There is no "zero [block]"; there _is_ a "'number' zero."
There is no "year zero"; there _is_ a "dividing line at zero."
There is no "infinitesimal called the 'zero inifinitesimal'."
There _is_ a dividing line between the infinitesimal on the left of 
zero, and the one on the right, on _either_ the block line OR the 
"number line."  There is never a "zero _thing_."  There is only a 
dimensionless zero dividing line between one thing and another thing.

Perhaps that's the crossover concept, and the usefulness of 
"infinitesimals": an infinitesimal is as close as it's possible to get,

TO the number line FROM the [blocks] (inifinitesimals) line or vice 
versa.

This (above) will be my last position; I can't go any further toward 
your way of thinking without bastardizing the 'truth.'

That doesn't require much thought.  The comparison is appletons and 
oranges.  Math is supposedly rigorous, as it's often said that "proof" 
is available only therein, or in formal logic.  Appleton and his ilk are

in areas without any such rigor at all.  (*grin*)

However, in a generic sense, it's as illogical to DISbelieve (in a "God"

or gods) as it is to Believe.  Neither position can be proven or 
disproven, and either agnosticism or atheism (as distinct from 
antitheism) is the only logically defensible stance.

Indeed.  And if someone comes up with a possibly explanatory

My sole math _interest_ these days is getting ways to either describe 
(without provoking outcries of "foul! heresy!" from the mathematical 
Priesthood) or to computer-model and/or assist a computer model, of that

compressed spherical network of vertex order twelve I've been on about

I don't abhor the stuff itself; I abhor the strictures it puts on my

(*grin*)

I have a great respect for math, actually; it just doesn't inspire me 
like it does some people.  Also, I know you can do things with math that

bear NO resemblance to reality, and can mislead the innumerate horribly,

so I don't _trust_ it either, except where I can grasp it, and relate it

to something real or potentially real (not obviously unreal).

Don't be so graphically literal.  Blocks don't have 'halves.'

I don't admit they're right because they ain't.
This whole argument mixes continuous and discrete.  Blocks are on the 
discrete side, "zero" is on the continuous (number line) side.

You have to be able to separate my arguments, which are about discrete 
entities, from theirs, which are about continuousness.  There is no 
"zero block" in the discrete.

I noticed that while he didn't use the word "line," he did make 
reference to a space, made necessary by his use of the word "location."
In neither case did he reference "line."  In both cases he referenced 
something else to define "point."  Still circular.

"Point" referenced to "set?"

Keep trying.  Find me _one_ noncircular definition of "point," and I'll

start paying more attention to you.  You -are- the first I've seen 
(besides me) even _claiming_ it can be done, and the first anywhere 
claiming such has _already_ been done.

-=> Quoting Martin Goldberg to Bryson Hughes <=-

BH> Your quote is well taken Douglas. This was God's way of telling 
BH> the Jewish man Peter, to go and minister salvation to certain 

MG> But you forgot that before god could tell him anything, the god had
to
MG> exist. 

Ok we can talk about the existance of God if you like.

MG> Do you have any evidence that a god exists?  Any at all?

Being a prophet, and having forsaken that question in lue of certain
knowledge. I usually assume the existance of God to those who profess
faith in his existance.

However, in a case of the honest skeptic, I doubt that I could produce the
evidence of what I know. There would be a couple of reasons. One would be
my own limited ability to convey abstract ideas in a compressed space
of time; the other due to the uninitiated or unprepared state that
my skeptic friend would be in, to absorb the full impact of what I
show to him.

However I could tell you what to watch for if you were so inclined.
You could watch for the concise fulfillment of prophecies. This is
a form of synchronicity which is evidence of an unseen factor. Therefore
if one is serendipitous enough to grasp the ramification of prophecy
becoming a historical fact, then he may even conclude that the synchronicty
is the evidence of an intelligence at work.

The next question would be what form the intelligence at work does exist.
It could exist as the sum expression of conspirators forcing a set of events.
It may exist as an individual who is somehow manipulating events on his
own.
It may exist as the mere acumen of the prophet to see cause/effect
relationships and understand and predict an outcome.

But there also must be understood, that those explanations cannot necessarily
account for the scale of certain things which exceed all human influence,
yet
coming to pass as written or spoken. This form of synchronicty, or fulfilled
prophecy would reveal to the honest skeptic, a form of super intelligence
operating outside the ability of mankind's influence.

A good example of super scale would be to look at the prophecies of the
future of Israel and the Jews, then for that initiated skeptic to compare
predictions to the actual history which unfolded during the era spoken of.
However, an enlightened guide or teacher would greatly expedite that process.

Another problem is the willful sublimity of the super-intelligence, who
would
purposefully hide himself from those he rejects. So I might show one man
secret matters, and he grasp it. But another man, due to the psychodynamic
effect of spirit to inhibit his understanding, it would be lost upon him.
Indeed the prophecies state that certain people will not be granted some
realizations concerning the fulfillment of prophecies; especially concerning
Israel.

But synchronicties need not be on such a grand scale. Often with those who
watch for God, the events unfold as a thematic pattern to which they begin
to yield to the realization that something or somebody is trying to say
something to them. The pitfall though, is the active imagination of the
outright superstitous, to see meaning in things which mean not as they
imagine. But I would suggest that synchronicities are a useful means
through which to percieve unseen intelligences at work, no matter what
they are.

This is alot of the basis for scripture, in which the testimonies of the
Jews, the Nation and the saints, was of seeing meaning in the unfolding
of
events: That is they saw the influences of God and wrote what they
percieved. An intelligent man need not have the gift of vatic inspiration
to see the evidence of unseen things, even the workings of God. He would
just need enough initiative and insight to watch effectively for the
influences of the sublime, and account for those which are not God and
in turn realize which ones are God.

The King James version and this teaching is from Genesis to Revelation.
With a name like 'Solomon' you might also know it is in the Talmud.

AG>> If you read Genesis 6 you will discover God destroyed the world with

NS> Pardon, I think you mean the seed of the woman.  Where are you getting
NS> the seed of Adam from?  And the seed of the serpent?

Eve had two seeds -  the seed of the Serpent which produced Cain and his
offspring, and the Seed of Adam which produced those who are on the Book
of Life. Cain was not Adam's son.  Miscegenation so grieved God (because
it produced death and not life, not being on the Book of Life, i.e., not
Adam's kin), and He destroyed the world with a Flood.

Jesus said this same evil - miscengenatio between the kin of Adam and of
Cain would repeat in this day. And it is.

AG>> Australia and the USA are at the forefront of those encouraging it.

MON>> racial purity,

No, racial prostitution.  God's prophet called America "the prostitute of
the nations". Australia is following a close second.

NS> I don't think so......By the way what "race" are you?

Hi Jan,

JD> GUFFAW!

JD>    Speaking of "plausible" stories, tell us again, Laurie,

JD> GUFFAW!!  ROTFL!!!

How can I tell you about such a thing since I would
necessarily be dead too wouldn't I? However since you seem
desperate for someone to talk to, here is something to think
about for now!


"Scientific theory is a matter of the highest degree
of probability based on the data available. There are no
absolutes in it. Further- more, science is a train that is
constantly moving. Yesterday's generalization is today's
discarded hypothesis."

"This is one reason for being somewhat tentative about
accepting any form of evolutionary theory as the final
explanation of biology. It is also why it is dangerous to
try to prove the Bible by science. If the Bible becomes
wedded to today's scientific theories, what will happen to
it when science, ten years from now, has shifted?"

"Theologian W.A. Criswell cites: "In 1861 . . . the
French Academy of Science published a little brochure in
which they stated fifty-one scientific facts that
controverted the Word of God. Today there is not a scientist
in the world who believes a single one of those fifty one
so-called scientific facts that in 1861 were published as
controverting the Word of God. Not a one!" (10)

"Thoughtful evolutionists concede that the matter is
not an open-and-shut-case, but they feel the theory must be
accepted despite some seeming contradictions and unexplained
factors."

"The following is of such interest that I quote it at
length to illustrate this point. After discussing how
pathetically theology students at Cambridge, in a former
century, accepted dogma and teachings they did not fully
understand or personally investigate, G.A. Kerkut, an
evolutionist, points out that many present-day
undergraduates have succumbed to the same unthinking
tendencies in their studies in general, and in accepting
evolution in biology in particular. He writes:"

"For some years now I have tutored undergraduates on various
aspects of biology. It is quite Common, during the course of
conversation, to ask the student if he knows the evidence for
evolution. This usually evokes a faintly superior smile.
. ."

"Well, sir, there is the evidence from paleontology,
comparative anatomy, embryology, systematics and
geographical distribution."

(Quoted from, "Know Why You Believe", Paul Little, 1988,
p.123)

Let me know of you would like the continuation of this
matter!

Laurie

Hi Jan,
(Re: yours of 24-Feb-1997, "A "swiftie"!")

JD>  On 23 Feb 97, Laurie Appleton wrote to John Musselwhite...

Does that question mean that you have a morbid interest
in DEAD things? Anyway here is your message for today. Are
you "listening"?


"In the light of what is known about the radiocarbon
method and the way it is used, it is truly astonishing that
many authors will cite agreeable determinations as "proof"
for their beliefs."....


"Radiocarbon dating has somehow avoided collapse onto
its own battered foundation, and now lurches onward with
feigned consistency. The implication of pervasive
contamination and ancient variations in carbon-14 levels are
steadfastly ignored by those who base their argument upon
the dates."

"The early authorities began the charade by stressing that
they were "not aware of a single significant disagreement"
on any sample that had been dated at different labs. (86,87)
Such enthusiasts continue to claim, incredible though it
may seem, that "no gross discrepancies are apparent",
(88,89)

"Surely 15,000 years of difference on a single block
of soil is indeed a gross discrepancy! And how could the
excessive disagreement between the labs be called
insignificant, when it has been the basis for the
reappraisal of the standard error associated with each and
every date in existence? Why do geologists and archaelogists
still spend their scarce money on costly radiocarbon
determinations? They do so because occasional dates appear
to be useful."

"While the methods cannot be counted on to give good,
unequivocal results, the numbers do impress people, and save
them the trouble of thinking excessively. Expressed in what
look like precise calender years, figures seem somehow
better --- both to layman and professional not versed in
statistics --- than complex stratigraphic or cultural
correlations, and are more easily retained in one's memory.
"Absolute" dates determined by a laboratory carry a lot of
weight, and are extremely helpful in bolstering weak
arguments."...

"No matter how "useful" it is, though, the radiocarbon
method is still not capable of yielding accurate and
reliable results. There are gross discrepancies, the
chronology is uneven and relative, and the accepted dates
are actually selected dates. "This whole blessed thing is
nothing but 13th-century alchemy, and it all depends upon
which funny paper you read." (91)

(Robert E.Lee, "Radiocarbon: ages in error". Anthropological
Journal of Canada, vol. 19(3), 1981, pp.9-29. Reprinted in
the Creation Research Society Quarterly, vol.19(2),
September 1982, pp.117-127 (quotes from pp.123 and 125).

So how does that affect you?

Laurie

P.S. Is the name JAN used for females in Canada or is it,
like the name Laurie used also for males?

RS> Hey, Dav, how's your monkey?
dr> Looking more like your ancestors every day.

Assinine claim number one.

What a horrid thing to say about one's wife.  She IS a
rhesus, right?  

dr> But you don't mind that comment as you believe we 
dr> evolved from the same homonid, right?

Assinine claim number two.

And where, precisely, did I say that I thought that you AND
I evolved from the same hominid?

RS> Not as proud, I imagine, as effectively refuting your
RS> claim.
dr> That sentence is just a little disjointed and lot stupid.

Assinine claim numbers three and four.

c/and lot/very
or
c/lot/a lot

Good.  Then I'm speaking your language.

dr> that is.  Please resubmit in English, Gomer.

Assinine claims numbers five through seven.

c/in it/in it,

I consistently seem to be doing better than you do,
considering.

RS> Still having trouble with the reading comprehension, eh,
dr> Trouble with reading comprehension?  Yep.

c/Yep/Yes

Thanx for admitting it.

dr> I'm failing to _comprehend_

In your case, that's a given.

[dementia deletia (assinine claims numbers eight through
nine)]

RS> Dav?  She was inviting your next assinine claim.  Go ahead,
RS> just open your mouth.  I'm sure one will float out.
dr> You're sure?

Yes.  AAMOF, you've made nine so far in this message alone.

dr> Like real sure?

c/real/really

Assinine claim number ten.

dr> Then go sit in the corner and talk
dr> with the rest of the zerotheistfundies.

c/zerotheistfundies/????

Assinine claims numbers eleven through twelve.

dr> Leave me alone as I am a waste of your time.

c/alone as/alone, as

Gee, I'm sorry I made you cry, Dav.

David Ragland said to Richard Smith about Alternative Or Straw:

RS> This is an erronious assumption.
dr> No...

dr> it's not, Gomer.

c/Gomer/Richard

dr> And the word is spelled: e-r-r-o-n-e-o-u-s.

c/e-r-r-o-n-e-o-u-s/erroneous
(Too many hyphens.)

dr> LOL! How's that burden?  Getting kinda heavy, huh?

c/! How's/!  How's
c/kinda/kind of

What burden?  I make mistakes.  But, according to everything
we see from you, I don't make as many mistakes as you do.  I
can live with that.

BTW, weren't you going to run away, err, stop posting to me?
Were you just lying again?  

RS> Because something begins, it doesn't mean that it was begun
RS> by some entity.
dr> Yes... it does.

Evidence . . . ?

RS> An acorn falls from an oak tree.
RS> Who started it falling?
dr> God.

Which God?

dr> He made gravity, Rick.

c/Rick/Richard

How did this imaginary figure create gravity?

RS> Frost appears on my windows, who put it there, Jack Frost?
dr> Maybe.  I dunno. (sigh)

c/dunno/don't know

But according to your claim, some entity HAS to put it
there.  So, how long have you been a believer in Jack Frost?
I much prefer Robert Frost, myself.

RS> LOL . . . next time you fudge a quote to fulfill your
RS> itinerary, please be sure to leave the punctuation
RS> intact.
dr> It is... intact.

c/is... intact/is . . . intact// is intact


dr> Why do you say otherwise?

I didn't say otherwise, I said the punctuation was fouled.
Repost the quote and I'll show you.

dr> Nevermind, don't answer.

c/Nevermind/Never mind

What are you afraid of, Dav?

dr> You are a waste of keystrokes.

I see.  That's why, after you've told me that you're not
going to respond to me any more, you keep responding.

You're sad, and I feel sorry for you.

RS> And, if you would be so kind, please give us your source on
RS> this.  It's definitely not your writing.
RS> Step six of the Fundy Shuffle: submit material as though it
RS> were your own, fudging material through injudicious use of
dr> Lie.

That's what I said.  And that's what you did.  Thank you for
cutting it to the bone for all of us to see.

RS> altered quotes, punctuation, and incomplete quotes in order
RS> to make it appear reasonable.  Under no circumstances give
RS> your exact source, for then everyone will be able to tell
RS> what kind of a fraud you are.
dr> I am not a fraud.

You ARE a fraud, and afraid.

dr> You cannot say that and not be a liar.

Sure I can.  You have NO evidence that I've lied at all.
Whereas, everyone here has seen you lie a number of times.

RS> IF Einstein ever said such a thing, he was being bamboozled.
dr> Well that wraps it!

Thanks for admitting it.

dr> Now you are calling an intellectual giant a dummy.

Kindly show me where I called an intellectual giant a dummy.
Exactly.  Now.  Or be known for the fraud you are.

dr> Anyone that disagrees with you is stupid.

No, only you.

dr> What of Hawking?

It's not much as a sport, though the training of the hawk
can be fascinating.

dr> Is he a dummy too?

Who?  And where did I say that anyone was a dummy, other
than you?

dr> I am sure he doesn't agree with you on everything
dr> either, Gomer.

c/Gomer/Richard

Got any evidence to back up this claim, Dav?

RS> One doesn't necessarily follow the other.  Are you going to
RS> give us your source on this, or are you going to admit your
RS> cravenness?
dr> I _never_ have a problem with sources.

That's why you couldn't cite it with your quote.  I see.

dr> And the Fundy's source is:
dr> Lincoln Barnett, The Universe and Dr. Einstein (New York:
dr> William Sloane Associates, 1948), p. 106.

*L*O*F*L*!*!*!*!*!*

Got ANYTHING that isn't half a century old, Dav, in the way
of sources?  

How very Appletoonish of you.

c/because,/because
c/be be/be

Which word didn't you understand?

dr> And you speak to _me_ of fractured logic.

Only because you're the official poster child.

dr> Ha!

Does this mean that you keep an overnight bag packed for
when you leave for your afterlife, Dav?  Did you get the
entry stickers for your passport as well?

*L*O*F*L*!*!*!*

dr> What of your _thoughts_ when you are gone?

What of them?  I'm not going to care.

dr> Are they still yours?

If I kept a copy of them, for instance if I wrote them down,
then they are mine in origin, but my heirs in ownership.
You might check out an elementary text on copyright.
Eventually, they'll become public domain.

Your point is . . . ?

Still not responding to me, btw?

dr> Not according to what the zerotheists say.

WHO?

dr> They mean nothing if you do not have an eternal life.

They mean nothing in any case.  In the grand scheme of
things, no one's thoughts have any importance.

dr> You may as well have lived a life of intellectual torpor.

As I see you have.

dr> No matter what you are remembered as doing before your
dr> demise, you can take nothing of this world with you
dr> according to zerothesism.

According to WHAT?

Are you taking a change of underwear, Dav?

dr> What you do while you here only matters if you are an

c/you here/you're here

dr> eternal being.

So, the works of Martin Luther King, Ghandi, etc., are
non-existent and have no meaning, eh?  I think your brainpan
is about a quart low.

RS> Where do you get your unbridled prejudice against people
RS> who have earned degrees?
dr> `Tis not the degrees, but their remarks that I despise.

c/'Tis not/It isn't

Odd that you only rally against those WITH degrees then,
isn't it?  And you have problems understanding why I can't
stand ignorant fucks such as yourself?

Not that I was aware of.  I allow I could be wrong in NOT
knowing that she could speak, IF she could speak.  If so, I
admit to making a mistake.  That's something that I
apparently can do that you can't.

dr> YOU are debunked by your own _mouth_.

were you propositioning me, Dav?

dr> How utterly stupid you are at not having known that
dr> Keller could speak, you idiot!

c/you idiot/Richard

Stupid for not knowing something?  No.  Ignorant of a
certain fact?  Certainly.  And I'm man enough to admit it,
IF I'm shown to be in error.  You haven't done that yet,
though, if for no other reason than the fact that you've
lied so much I wouldn't believe you about anything.

dr> How was that little look in the mirror, Dr. Jerkov?

Sorry, Dav, but I'm straight.  It's nice of you to ask,
though.  What's the matter, not getting any from your
Rhesus?

I don't mind being wrong, for only by being wrong do I
learn.  And I don't mind learning.  Unlike you and Staalin,
I don't value any ignorance I find in myself.  (Hint: have
you figured out where you went wrong in your assumptions
about Laurie yet?)  Unlike you, I am able to encounter a
mistake and not have my manhood topple from it, and unlike
you, I am able to better myself through trial and error.  I
don't HAVE to accept by rote what my masters have told me.
My mind my own.

dr> Now, see how that sounds?

Yes, it sounds petulant and childish on your part.  Hardly a
surprize.

dr> See how it feels?

See how what feels?  I feel good.  I may have learned
something I didn't know before.  I love learning.  You
should try it sometime.

dr> You split your sides laughing because I spelled "quiet"
dr> q-u-i-t-e by accident.

That wasn't the only reason I and the others were laughing
at you, Dav.

dr> Then in the same group of posts
dr> you debunk your _own_ self as the almighty Fudgemaster!

Show me where I claimed to be the almighty Fudgemaster.
Hint: you are a liar, and you can't do it.  Now run away,
small one.  The adults have business to discuss.

BTW, my alleged error (we'll wait for confirmation,
something I'm sure you're not familiar with) in no way
debunks what I have been saying about your stupidity or lack
of evidence.  I note that there are many of my posts that
you refuse to answer.  And you and I know what that means.

RS> No doubt you will find new levels of arrogance.
dr> Is debunking your moronic crapola supercilious, Fudge Boy?

I see I spoke prophetically.  You don't disappoint me, Dav.
You continually prove yourself a first level moron.  By
pointing out an possible error, you have done nothing more
than that.  I can live with it, as it doesn't refute what
I'm saying about you and your beliefs.  You'll have to learn
to live with it now.

At this rate, you'll have stopped talking to us about the
time the century turns over.

dr> You are an example of wasted copulation.

Something I'm sure you have infinite experience with.  Or
were you propositioning me, Dav?

dr> How utterly stupid you are at not having known that
dr> Keller could speak, you idiot!

c/you idiot/Richard

Stupid for not knowing something?  No.  Ignorant of a
certain fact?  Certainly.  And I'm man enough to admit it,
IF I'm shown to be in error.  You haven't done that yet,
though, if for no other reason than the fact that you've
lied so much I wouldn't believe you about anything.

dr> How was that little look in the mirror, Dr. Jerkov?

Sorry, Dav, but I'm straight.  It's nice of you to ask,
though.  What's the matter, not getting any from your
Rhesus?

I don't mind being wrong, for only by being wrong do I
learn.  And I don't mind learning.  Unlike you and Staalin,
I don't value any ignorance I find in myself.  (Hint: have
you figured out where you went wrong in your assumptions
about Laurie yet?)  Unlike you, I am able to encounter a
mistake and not have my manhood topple from it, and unlike
you, I am able to better myself through trial and error.  I
don't HAVE to accept by rote what my masters have told me.
My mind my own.

dr> Now, see how that sounds?

Yes, it sounds petulant and childish on your part.  Hardly a
surprize.

dr> See how it feels?

See how what feels?  I feel good.  I may have learned
something I didn't know before.  I love learning.  You
should try it sometime.

dr> You split your sides laughing because I spelled "quiet"
dr> q-u-i-t-e by accident.

That wasn't the only reason I and the others were laughing
at you, Dav.

dr> Then in the same group of posts
dr> you debunk your _own_ self as the almighty Fudgemaster!

Show me where I claimed to be the almighty Fudgemaster.
Hint: you are a liar, and you can't do it.  Now run away,
small one.  The adults have business to discuss.

BTW, my alleged error (we'll wait for confirmation,
something I'm sure you're not familiar with) in no way
debunks what I have been saying about your stupidity or lack
of evidence.  I note that there are many of my posts that
you refuse to answer.  And you and I know what that means.

RS> No doubt you will find new levels of arrogance.
dr> Is debunking your moronic crapola supercilious, Fudge Boy?

I see I spoke prophetically.  You don't disappoint me, Dav.
You continually prove yourself a first level moron.  By
pointing out an possible error, you have done nothing more
than that.  I can live with it, as it doesn't refute what
I'm saying about you and your beliefs.  You'll have to learn
to live with it now.

dr> During the last week I've been wrangling with the

dr> tell you about it.
dr> It all began innocently enough: several days ago, I was
dr> harvesting a crop of upper-arm-zits (am I the only one

dr> had been going on, the hard skin around and under the
dr> mutant zit hadn't changed one bit (I'd expected it to
dr> deflate under all the pressure I was putting on it).
dr> Reluctantly, I gave up and left the zit alone for a
dr> while.  It scabbed over, but I have never, EVER been
dr> able to leave a scab alone for long, so eventually I
dr> broke down and attacked the thing again.  Got nothing
dr> but blood and water- pus for my trouble.  Let it scab
dr> over.  Attacked it again.  Let it scab over. Attacked it
dr> again.  Do you see a pattern here?
dr> Under all my constant haranguing, the superzit began to
dr> metamorphosize.  The ring of hard skin around the
dr> scabbed part became an angry red color; the interior of
dr> the zit became dead white; and there was a strange brown

dr> lost the only pair of tweezers I owned (the one on my

dr> was raised, the dead-white area in which it was situated

``One can't believe impossible things.''
``I daresay you haven't had much practice,'' said the Queen.
``When I was your age, I always did it for a
half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as
six impossible things before breakfast.''
-- Lewis Carroll (1832-1898), English writer, mathematician

From where I sit, it looks like Dav's asked us to believe
six impossible things:

1:  That anyone can be his friend.
2:  That anyone would submit to him.  (Sounds like a sexual
problem . . . he probably can't get it up for his
Rhesus.)
3:  That he has any authority.  (Poor sad Raghead . . . )
4:  That his elementary skills in fingerpainting and
drooling constitutes superiority of ANY kind.
5:  That he actually has the neurons that would allow such.
6:  That Jan is a she, as he also believes Appletoon to be.

AFAIC, it's a good thing I don't stand the risk of beheading
at the moment.  I just can't suspend disbelief in Raghead's
case.

And, FWIW, I'm enjoying this tremendously.

David Ragland said to Becke Boyer about 10 foot high and rising!:

BB> asked, "So where did the water go?" ;)
BB> Becke
dr> Where does the water from _any_ flood go?

Damn!  He was right!  He IS that stupid!  

dr> If the polar ice caps
dr> were melted, would that not lead to a global deluge?

I am given to understand that if all the ice melted, sea
levels might rise a hundred or two feet.  Hardly a deluge.

dr> I am not saying that it would.

Hell, he's not saying that he ties his own shoes, even.

dr> Just asking the question.  Will you follow in your
dr> mentor's footsteps and be angry at my questions?

Which mentor is he speaking of?  Maybe he meant Mentos.  But
you don't eat Mentos, do you?    AFAIAC, you don't eat
mentors either . . .

dr> We shall see...

Well, you will anyway.  Dav's incapable of sustained thought
or vision.

He does seem to like you, though.  Why do I get the
impression that he only hangs around here to hit on the
women?  His Rhesus must be on the rag.

David Ragland said to Darryl Gonzalez about Re: Evidences for God:

dg> Nope.  Only one.  The others are just myths.
dr> Amen to that, Brother!  One God and one God only!

Again, we see a claim but no substantiation, even after I
supplied Biblical quotes showing that the authors of the
Bible believed in multiple Gods.  How convenient for the
Raghead triplets (Hi, this is my brother Darryl and my other
brother Ken!) to ignore what makes them uncomfortable.

dr> The
dr> question is regularly asked, "With all the sacred books
dr> of various religions, all of which claim to be the true,
dr> how can anyone be sure that the Bible is the true word
dr> of God, without first examining all the others?"

Good point.  Let the waffling officially begin NOW:

dr> Thankfully, truth is not availed by a process of
dr> elimination.

Not always, but sometimes it is.  Dav's a first class moron,
I have to say.

dr> The fact that two plus two equals four and
dr> only four can be proven without looking at every other
dr> number.  And so it is with the Bible: It's validity can
dr> be determined from examining _it_ alone.

Okay, so now he's going to give his evidence . . .






































. . . hmmm, I guess not.  Maybe he doesn't have any?

dr> Did you see the attempts posted in here to me to refute
dr> the infallibility of the Bible? :)

Did anyone here attempt to refute the infallibility of the
Bible?  David's lying again . . .

dr> What is your reaction to some of this stuff?

*L*O*F*L*!*!*!*

He has NO answers, so he's asking Darryl?  

dr> I see most of it as refutable right off the top
dr> of my head without even looking in the Bible.

Too bad he couldn't do it, then.  Perhaps this is the
problem: he's actually unable to read the Bible or
comprehend it.

dr> For example, one of the zerotheistfundies sent

One of the WHAT?  I sent it, and I'm a Wiccan.

dr> me some garbage like the following:

I do appreciate him admitting that the Bible is garbage,
though.

dr> Question: Why would a perfect garden (Eden) require
dr> tending and cultivation? (Gen. 3:15)
dr> My Answer:     Nowhere in Gen. 3:15 does it say one
dr> blessed thing about tending and cultivation.

Ah, this is correct . . . the post I got that from has it
wrongly attributed to Genesis 3:15, when in actuallity it is
Genesis 2:15.  Sorry to pass the error on, I'll correct it
in my text files ASAP.  Now, let me ask Raghead again:

Question: Why would a perfect garden (Eden) require
tending and cultivation? (Gen. 2:15)

Gen 2:15  And the LORD God took the man, and put him into
the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

Let's see if he can answer it without running away . . .

dr> _Some_ of it is good stuff to examine for the purpose of
dr> making the scriptures clear to those who have questions.

Too bad he didn't back any of this up, isn't it?

dr> It's a good exercise in disproving overemphasize
dr> attempts to discredit the Bible,

Too bad he didn't do so, isn't it?

dr> but the rubbish they
dr> posted is not hardly a refutation of scriptural
dr> veracity. :)

`I be Dav Raghead, and I done studied English under Jimson
Staalin . . . '

One wonders why he's afraid to respond to the post I made,
then.

dr> One wonders why they think it is. (sigh)

One wonders if Dav can think at all.

dr> I guess they will believe anything to deny an authority.

Does Dav mean like believe the Bible to refute the Bible?
LOL!

dr> It would seem that a purely juvenile, delinquent
dr> mentality exists within the confines of the atheist
dr> cranium.

Apparently Dav's a mind-reader.  Too bad he is receiving,
but can't transmit.

dr> What is this ==> [sic] ?  I have asked others to no avail.

LOL!!!

What a fucking moron.

DG> Can you even read?
dr> One wonders. :)

Apparently, I can read well enough to use the Bible to
refute the Bible.  And I don't have to ask someone else
who's even more braindead than I am for help in running away
from a list that frightens me.

As opposed to the previous administration that had an agenda

if it didn't get what it wanted, that decided to bankrupt
future generations by over-spending today, that encouraged
the hostage crisis in Iran, that encouraged the sale by big

Please note here how Al, err, Dav has taken someone else's
words and is appropriating them for his own.

Ndr> responsible for approximately 25 times the number of deaths

Ndr> is: "Declassified KGB Records; Warning To The West" by Aleksandr

What about the citation for the rest of it?  And so you cite
a known fiction writer (unless you think Ivan Denesovitch
was a real person) as perhaps making some statements about
numbers.  Note that no actual numbers were quoted.  Maybe
they were Brawly's non-local numbers.

[Much TLP-type ranting deleted.]

Brave words from a man who told me to beat a woman, and who
tries to intimidate through his modem, eh?  I bet Dav's just
a clerk who wets himself if he get's a paper cut.

dr> You can continue to do so because of _real_

dr> doors and served warrants so that profane lil' pencil

And now he thinks he's a policeman, refuting his earlier
statement about what he did for a living.

LB> Gee, Darryl, loved the two miles of quoting you left on

That's only because Darryl is netiquettely challenged.  And
he doesn't listen when people give him advice on how to
format his messes, err, messages . . .

RS> you wonder where we get the stereotypes from, don't you
RS> Darryl?
dg> First, I didn't run from David Worrell.

Darryl said he wasn't going to respond to David Worrell any
longer.  That IS running away.  It may make Darryl feel
better to think that he's on top of it, but believe me, his
shoe leather is slapping asphalt right now, heading straight
away from this.  And note: he never said word one about the
main thrust of this, that he was running away from me.  He
just clipped on the odometer and headed off.  AAMOF, I never
saw this post from him, so either it got lost somewhere, or
he posted it to someone else.  I'll have to go look again.
If he posted it to someone else, then that would be JUST as
cowardly.

dg> I don't know what you're talking about in that regard.

Selective memory.  First sign of incipient cretinism.

dg> Secondly, because I know the truth is on my side, you
dg> can call me a liar all you want to & it won't hurt me.

Now, WHY does Darryl wish me to call him a liar?

I don't recall calling him a liar.

In this, Darryl is clearly a liar.

NOW I have pointed out that he's a liar.

Ah, _that's_ why he wished I'd called him the liar instead:
so I would be the liar INSTEAD of him.  Another Liar for the
Lord.

LB> Um, and HOW do you "know" the truth is on your side.

He read it on a Bazooka Comic margin.

LB> Which Truth is that?

That he waffles uncontrollably in fright when confronted
with honest questions?

LB> And how is it something you KNOW rather than believe?

He knows it in the Biblical sense.  That must be why all the
pages in his Bible stick together like that.

dg> I'm just tired of the fact that you can't JUSTIFY your
dg> stupid claim.

What stupid claim did I make?  What stupid claim did I
attempt to justify?  I said Darryl was running away, and he
himself said as much when he told me AND David Worrell that
he wasn't going to interface with us anymore, for some
reason roughly equivocating that we didn't play fair.

I don't know about David, but I was crushed.

LB> :) Many of us think the same about you and your claims.

As opposed to many of us KNOWING the same about him and his
claims?  

dg> And finally, I am no coward. I don't run away from a fight.

Second lie, Big D.  Is your Lord proud of your Lies?  Is
that why you beLIEve?

This IS an official `IS NOT,' isn't it Lynda?  

dg> What you don't understand is that instead of fighting
dg> me, you should be listening to Jesus.

Let Christ post here, and we'll see.  I don't see why *I*
need to listen to Christ, but if he drags his nasty and
dusty old ass out of the grave and posts here, I'll at least
read it.  As a Wiccan, I have nothing to do with him and his
ilk, normally, and I don't give them any credence after
centuries of persecution, genocide, etc., by them.

LB> hehe, you don't run from a fight, you just duck behind 
LB> your invisible jesus..

Hmmm . . . Jesus Christ AS Big Brother.  I like it.  It
fits.

LB> Darryl, unfortunately, Jesus doesn't seem to be here, so 
LB> would you, as his representative, care to offer any (dare 
LB> I say it) evidence that he exists, and why we 'should' be
LB> listening to him?

Watch out, Lynda . . . Darryl will turn on you next.
There's no telling what a Coward for Christ will do . . .

Darryl said he wasn't going to respond to David Worrell any
longer.  That IS running away.  It may make Darryl feel
better to think that he's on top of it, but believe me, his
shoe leather is slapping asphalt right now, heading straight
away from this.  And note: he never said word one about the
main thrust of this, that he was running away from me.  He
just clipped on the odometer and headed off.  AAMOF, I never
saw this post from him, so either it got lost somewhere, or
he posted it to someone else.  I'll have to go look again.
If he posted it to someone else, then that would be JUST as
cowardly.

dg> I don't know what you're talking about in that regard.

Selective memory.  First sign of incipient cretinism.

dg> Secondly, because I know the truth is on my side, you
dg> can call me a liar all you want to & it won't hurt me.

Now, WHY does Darryl wish me to call him a liar?

I don't recall calling him a liar.

In this, Darryl is clearly a liar.

NOW I have pointed out that he's a liar.

Ah, _that's_ why he wished I'd called him the liar instead:
so I would be the liar INSTEAD of him.  Another Liar for the
Lord.

LB> Um, and HOW do you "know" the truth is on your side.

He read it on a Bazooka Comic margin.

LB> Which Truth is that?

That he waffles uncontrollably in fright when confronted
with honest questions?

LB> And how is it something you KNOW rather than believe?

He knows it in the Biblical sense.  That must be why all the
pages in his Bible stick together like that.

dg> I'm just tired of the fact that you can't JUSTIFY your
dg> stupid claim.

What stupid claim did I make?  What stupid claim did I
attempt to justify?  I said Darryl was running away, and he
himself said as much when he told me AND David Worrell that
he wasn't going to interface with us anymore, for some
reason roughly equivocating that we didn't play fair.

I don't know about David, but I was crushed.

LB> :) Many of us think the same about you and your claims.

As opposed to many of us KNOWING the same about him and his
claims?  

dg> And finally, I am no coward. I don't run away from a fight.

Second lie, Big D.  Is your Lord proud of your Lies?  Is
that why you beLIEve?

This IS an official `IS NOT,' isn't it Lynda?  

dg> What you don't understand is that instead of fighting
dg> me, you should be listening to Jesus.

Let Christ post here, and we'll see.  I don't see why *I*
need to listen to Christ, but if he drags his nasty and
dusty old ass out of the grave and posts here, I'll at least
read it.  As a Wiccan, I have nothing to do with him and his
ilk, normally, and I don't give them any credence after
centuries of persecution, genocide, etc., by them.

LB> hehe, you don't run from a fight, you just duck behind 
LB> your invisible jesus..

Hmmm . . . Jesus Christ AS Big Brother.  I like it.  It
fits.

LB> Darryl, unfortunately, Jesus doesn't seem to be here, so 
LB> would you, as his representative, care to offer any (dare 
LB> I say it) evidence that he exists, and why we 'should' be
LB> listening to him?

Watch out, Lynda . . . Darryl will turn on you next.
There's no telling what a Coward for Christ will do . . .

And your damage control after the fact only drives you further into the

No, "my story" is the Mormon death cult masters who slaughtered entire families
in a bizarre Mormon "blood atonement" ritual.  The death cult masters in
charge were Bishop Jeffrey Lundgren and his church.

And yet for some oh-so-very-mysterious reason you want to first demand that
the story is a fabrication and, when you're not allowed to get away with
the deception, to flail about helplessly and accuse those who know about
the death cult of changing the subject.

Might I suggest you learn the origins and the history of the Mormon cult?
If you would like more information on the Bishop Lundgren slaughters I can
provide the references for the court proceedings.

But then your masters won't let you review what your death cult is all about,
huh?

Amazing.  I've always known that Mormons are as dishonest and delusional

Do you think you "win one" for your gods by deceiving yourself?

And let's not allow you to forget that the Lundgrens _WERE_ Mormons and
that the Lundgrens _WERE_ employing deadly Mormon temple rituals when they
tortured, murdered, and then burried their victims in the dirt floor of
their barn.

But then you're not allowed to know the truth about the Mormon cult, huh?

Lovely sexist bigotry, Tom.  Traditional Christanic bigotry.

The Mormon death cult _never_ removes people from their victims list.  Even
when the death cult performs the Satanic "excommunication" rituals on their
victims they remain in the death cult's records.  The cult maintains four
listsof victims and they _never_ remove people names from them; they move
names from one list to another.

_LEARN_ a little about the death cult, Tom.

Gee.  Just like Mithra 380 years before the Jesus mythos.   Looks like another

FR> I don't think you understand what _I_ said.  Homosexual couples

rh>    1) A couple is two individuals.
rh>    2) A homosexual couple is two individuals of the same sex,
rh>       where each person is homosexual.

Item number 2 is wrong.  Many homosexual couples consist of a homosexual
male and a homosexual female.  Nearly all homosexuals engage in heterosexual
intercourse at some time during their life just as most heterosexuals have
experienced a homosexual event at some time in their past.  Usually homosexual
behavior (among heterosexuals) takes place among the very young.  Heterosexual
behavior among homosexuals usually takes place during the breeding ages.

You might consider everyone bisexual, perhaps, yet the fact is sexuality
and "orientation" runs the entire spectrum as well as fluctuates -- it's
rarely hard-coded throughout someone's life.   I'll also point out that
one need not engage in sexual behavior to be a heterosexual any more than
one need engage in sexual behavior to be homosexual.

Elton John is gay yet he married a female.  Whether she was gay or not I
don't know.  Whether they engaged in sexual behavior ot not, I don't know.
Yet the statistics are better than not that his wife was also gay (perhaps
someone here will know.)  The statistics are also better than not that they
engaged in sexual behavior.

The marriage didn't work out so he divorced her fairly quickly.

-=- These things _are_ covered in the literature, Roger.  Human sexuality
is a major departmentalization of human psychology.  It's been 19 years
since my last human sexuality class yet I doubt humans have changed much
during those years and I doubt the statistics have changed much either.

Pencil in what the mythologies "forgot" to mention, yes.

In actual fact the so-called "Jesus" mythos would have been very angry with
Paul/Saul of Tarsus had it been alive at the time of his writings.  The
cult of resentment was originally only intended to whip-up Jews to oppose
the occupational armies of Rome.

It's great that you've noticed.  We've done things in HolySmoke for the
past six years or so yet nothing serious has been colaborated on.  A couple
notables have been involved in organized Humanism groups and projects and
many more of us have been on the front lines defending women's rights, and
of course we all contribute individually to the cause of science, reason,
rationality, education et al.  Yet there's so much more we're all capable
of doing, I think.  (Some of us are teachers -- the nobelest profession
there is.)

Time is the problem, not a lack of desire to become activists.  One of the
good guys just not too many weeks ago picked up the editorship of a Humanist
publication -- truely a win and I must say I'm prouder of that than I probably
should be.  It means that visible, ___SERIOUS___, efforts are being made
by 'Smokers who perhaps might not have picked up the candle had it not been

I was never a believer, though.  Some how I managed to acquire an education.
I think it's due to the amount of reading I did as a youth.  Reguardless
the fuckers still keep me on their mailing lists as one of them -- even
though I've had to brush them off the front step at gun point and had the
cops return some of their bizarre hate mail in person.

Seriously, I don't think anyone escapes the Mormon cult.  I know from direct
experience _inside_ the cult that they maintain at least three lists and
that, while they move people from list to list, they never take anyone off.

Sure it would be better.  But I need ISP space or a constant link.  I wouldn't
make them a FTP site, however.  I would still use web pages to contain the
names and descriptions and one would need to click on the files to request
as usual -- only they would be sent immediately to the web browser client
rather than their mail client.

I'm finding that people _like_ to request files then log off their ISP.
They like collecting the files they requested the next day.  If they select
a bunch of files and start receiving them right away they're more apt to
drop carrier out of impatience.  Many of them are in colleges and universities.
They can request all the files they want then walk away, confident that
the files they requested will start showing up in their university accounts
the next day -- otherwise they have to sit around and wait for the web browsers
to finish the downloads.

force the authorities to start doing?  Let me clue you:  As your death cult
continues its policy of domestic terrorism it's going to force the authorities
to set aside due process.  Your death cult will force the authorities to
dispense with a trial, a judge, and a jury and will be forced to handle
domestic Christan terrorists the same way they're handled abroad.

Do you know what that means?  Do you have any idea what's instore for not

The Lundgren family selected another Mormon family to be the victims of

"atonement."

th> al, first, there is no such doctrine as blood atonement,

I would suggest that you actually learn something about the Mormon cult,
Tom, as well as the Bishop Lundgren murders.  Look into why the Mormon cult
favors the death penalties which spill the blood of criminals as well.

The Lundgren family -- all just as Mormon as you seem to be -- selected
another Mormon family to carry the ideological tyranny of the Mormon "Blood
Atonement" ritual.  A suitable scapegoat (look up the origins of that word,
dear) was selected to "clense" the Mormon cult and said murders were in
100% agreement with the ideologies set forth by the cult.

The fact that the Lundgren family was turned-in by fellow Mormons after
said fellow Mormons feared for their own lives even underscores the point.
Had the "Blood Atonement" ritual sacrifices been selected by the Lundgrens
without polling the Mormon church in whole, no one would have stepped forward
to finger Lundgren for fear of their own deaths.  The Mormons would have
gotten away with successfully completing the Blood Atonement murders.

I can understand how Mormon cultists can not learn the truth about their
cult. It's a fact that Mormon masters are not allowed to divulge information
to the sheep until they are "ready."  And by "ready" (as with all cults)
they mean after the sheep has invested their lives in the cult and can't
bail out reguardless of the evil they see without admitting to themselves
they've wasted their lives.

About a year and a half ago a bunch of Mormons headed for the hills because

left most of everything behind.

After waiting for their gods to show up they ran out of food and water and
started drinking their own urin.  When Ground Search and Recovery pulled
these lunatics off the mountain they were wracked with disease and all were
financially ruined.

I wonder if the rest of the Mormon cult took up to house, feed, clothe,
and medicate these lunatic believers.

If you're braindead, you aren't conscious.  Or haven't you
noticed that trait in the fundies we get here -- the cream
of the crop, as it were.

Dear Katherine,
I do not know whether you or someone else is the originator of the followingŤ
quote, but I found it on your message.
KW> * OLXWin 1.00a * "God is an asshole"--MB
I really feel sorry for the person or persons that speak of God in thatŤ
manner.  I feel sorry for them because they will have to answer to that
God.
"It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment."  (HebrewsŤ
9:27).  That and many other Bible verses speak of the judgment to come.
TheŤ only way to escape is not to neglect the salvation that God has providedŤ
through His Son, Jesus Christ (Cf. Hebrews 2:3).  Whether or not you have
doneŤ so, I do not know, but if you haven't (and I question whether you
have basedŤ on what I have read that YOU have written), then you are headed
for a Godless
enternity.  Don't say that you will have many friends there.  There you
willŤ have NO friends.  I am your friend, because I am concerned for your
soul.

Respectfully,

CCSr

I doubt it will ever result in producing full fledged copies
of adult human beings (it'll always be cheaper to make them 
the old fashioned way).

But just think what it could do to the field of organ
transplantation. No time spent waiting for a donor. No
fruitless searches for a perfect tissue match. If you need a 
kidney or a liver ya GROW ONE. Of course, for ethical
reasons, you would have to grow it in a non-human host animal.
But this has now become something within the realm of the
"maybe do-able".

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Actually, I've never been quite that committal. I fluctuate 
over a range that goes from atheist, through agnostic and
into Deist.

It depends on the setting, context, how the other party defines
the concept of a "god" and wether I think they will bite me or
not.

I readily accept that "religious behavior" is a part of the human
experience. And while it may very well be based on nothing more
than wish fulfillment, it's not going to go away anytime soon.
Indeed, if all the contemporary belief systems were to disappear
one Monday, people would invent new ones by the following
Wednesday. (And probably, being human beings, be killing each
other over them by Friday.)

I've seen the aftermath of what non-admitance of what "It

the decry.  But, it did, and it has been documented, not 
just by the movie but by those who were there and by those 
that liberated the places that those people were exterminated.  

It may be 50+ plus years since my Dad was there.  He saw, 
first hand, what it was.  I will not, to my last breath, 
ever let it happen again.  

And showing it for what it was is the best way.

Really? Amazing. I wonder why that is?

Could it be because that is the *first* marble? The had the "zero marble"
before they picked any up.

Do you enjoy being an uneducated buffoon, John?

AG> Dear Doug Lee,

AG> Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

DL>  And since I bear the Mark of Caine right now I'm beyond redemption.

AG> If you are in the physical lineage, you most certainly are.

DL>  Apparently the Lord saw fit to condem me at the time of my birth.

AG> Why so? Did He condemn a horse at birth because he was a horse and not
AG> a sparrow? I fail to see your logic. The horse is born a horse because
AG> his parents were of that species.  And the physical line of Cain, or
AG> Adam is the same.

Unbelievable! Tony you run around in more circles than a dog chasing his
tail.

In the first sentance you condem me...and the next you "fail to see the
logic"

DL> So since I'm already marked for the lake of fire, tell me why I
DL> should follow Christ's teachings??

AG> If you are, as you seem so certain, "marked for the Lake of Fire",
AG> then that is the result of your own free choice.

So tell me how I chose to bear the Mark of Caine at the time of my birth.

AG> And if you are
AG> physical or wilfully spiritual Serpent's seed, it's not a matter of
AG> "should I follow Christ's teachings". You can't.

Well aren't you the caring Christian. 

AG> But I suspect you have chosen to be the way you are.

I don't suspect. I'm certain *you* have.

You don't know shit, Ragland. Allele frequency in a population
determines evolution and if you had any knowledge about science
at all, especially the life sciences you would KNOW that.

As is is your just another deluded fundy spouting
anti-evolutionistic crap like it was God's own truth.

You're an enemy because of your stupid posts, David. Why should
anyone take you seriously when you tell people who are
attempting to help you understand science that they "need their
ass kicked".

You're just another version of Appleton, Ragland. Go back to
the Bible echoes where you can be a hero. Here you're just
making yourself out to be another goof.

It's just a deperate attempt to feel "special" in some why.

He reminds me too much of one of my co-workers. He became born again
sometime last october. However since about mid December I've become his
defacto soundingboard for the approval of Christ:

"...I feel guilty lifting weights. Should I even do that as a Christian?"

"...I only learned how to read and write. I never got anything else from
school....(later on he would say something like)...why do you read that?
What could you learn?..."

etc...etc... el barfo

He knows I'm not a Christian, yet he's semingly coming to me all the time
for all his moral delemas(sp).

He's looking for that apithany again I think. I don't have the heart to
point outto him that he's asking the guy who was born with the Mark of
Caine. I'm saving that. :>

BTW- How does the campain with the rugs progress???

Right... That's why none of the "highly intelligent, well
educated" creation scientists submitted only 18 papers
out of 135,000 to over 60 scientific journals.  Perhaps
they were smart enough to realize that what they were
about to present was Biblical literalism.  And the 18
that were submitted (12 to the same publication) were
rejected as being written by laymen at a high school
level!   Science, indeed!

said!  BTW... Better look up scurrilous.

No... but this is good:

"If man wished to know  anything about Creation (the time of
Creation, the duration of Creation, the order of Creation,
the methods of Creation, or anything else) his sole source
of true information is that of divine revelation. God was
there when it happened. We were not there ... Therefore,
we are completely limited to what God has seen fit to tell
us, and this information is in His written Word.

This is our textbook on the science of Creation!"

re: Information and Origi

JM>  Gee... you sound like Tony Ermie or Laurie Appleliar here,

DR> I was thinking about keeping you on as someone that I wanted to talk

Well, David... this message says a lot about your character...
or lack of it. Appleton is one of the most notorious liars and
charlatans in Fidonet, and aligning yourself with him puts you
right in his bracket.

From the tone of this message it's obvious you have nothing to
say, just like your butt-buddy Laurie.

And BTW, you think you can kick my ass? Go ahead... and try.
Your GOD couldn't kick my ass, David... Of course, since your
war god consists entirely of the superstitious meanderings of
priests who needed him because they couldn't keep a real job,
and therefore doesn't exist, that goes without saying.

Go ahead, David... Make my day! Post some bad science or
bankrupt religious philosophy in response. We could all use the
laugh.

I can't believe Laurie spilled rumpy lug (b). all over Joe Martin!

jm>>     You are not a creationist... you are an  anti-evolutionist.

la>    Does that make any difference, even if you were right

Makes a big difference.  You are the one whining for
balanced treatement. That means you want Evolution taught
with creationism.

Remember ... Balanced treatment means:

Evolution = IN   Creationism = IN

You are arguing AGAIST the thing you say you want!

Right now the situation is

Evolution = IN    creationism = OUT

Evolution is not the issue... quit trying to pretend it is and
offer some evidence FOR CreSci... Oh yeah... just remembered...
you CAN'T!

jm>>     You offer NOTHING... ZIP... NADA in the way of support FOR    
jm>> creationism.  Why? because you HAVE nothing to support it WITH. 

la>     What is wrong with the fossil record? It is the very thing that
la> Creationists DO go for. Darwin himself admitted that the fossil record
la> was the most obvious and serious objection that could be raised
la> against his theory and 120 years later, leading evolutionists tell us
la> that Darwin's difficulty has still NOT been solved! 

Right!... All the fossils were laid down by Noah's Flood... ooops
sorry... this is science... Ummm.. by a global hydraulic catastrophy??
Remember now... global hydraulic catastrophy.

Any Idea how the remaining animals, people, plants survived the 
global hydraulic catastrophy?  THis is Science, Laurie...
not religion... care to speculate on that one?... Scientifically?

(didn't think so)

jm>>     Creationism is nothing more than a thinly disguised     sect of
jm>> Christianity attempting to force its dogmatic     version of biblical
jm>> literalism into a science class...     you know it... otherwise you
jm>> would present some (ANY)     evidence which shows it to be
jm>> scientific. 

la>   So why do you think that a number of evolutionists have stated in
la> writing that the Creation Scientists, whilst NOT discussing the Bible,
la> but by dealing with lots of scientific questions, almost ALWAYS WON
in
la> open, public, debates for a decade? 

OOOOOOOH yeah.... AAAAAAAAAAALL those open public scientific
debates from, what almost a quarter century ago now...  On which
Gould says:

Debate is an artform. It is about the winning of
arguments. It is not about the discovery of truth.
There are certain rules and procedures to debate that
really have nothing to do with establishing fact _
which they are very good at. Some of those rules are:
never say anything positive about your own position
because it can be attacked, but chip away at what
appear to be the weaknesses in your opponent's
position. They are good at that. I don't think I could
beat the Creationists at debate. I can tie them. But in
courtrooms they are terrible, because in courtrooms you
cannot give speeches. In a courtroom you have to answer
direct questions about the positive status of your
belief. We destroyed them in Arkansas. On the second
day of the two week trial we had our victory party!

(taken from a 1985 lecture at CALTECH):

And Dawkins states:

"I had come a long way to perform the  disagreeable task
of public speaking, because I believed in the truth of
the motion that I had been asked to propose. When I
discovered that members of the society were using the
motion as a vehicle for playing  arguing games, I
resolved to decline future invitations from debating
societies that encourage insincere advocacy on issues
where scientific truth is at stake."

THOSE debates? on which Ellwanger.  Remember Ellwanger
... He was instumental in 590 (Arkansas)... He is on
record as saying:

Mr. Ellwanger's ultimate purpose is revealed in the closing of his letter
to
Mr. Tom Bethell: ``Perhaps all this is old hat to you, Tom, and if so, I'd
appreciate your telling me so and perhaps where you've heard it before --
the idea of killing evolution instead of playing these debating games that
we've been playing for nigh over a decade already.'' (Unnumbered attachment
to Ellwanger Depo. at 3.)

jm>>        I challenge you to produce one single scrap of evidence
jm>> that supports creationism that stands on its OWN merits.  You
jm>> can't DO it ... can you! 

la>   Don't be silly, you are not capable of recognising real evidence,
la> even when you fall over it. Now, if you just try to apply the
la> principle that atheist evolutionist Richard Dawkins stated in that
la> quote I provided for you a number of times, you might just start to
la> get the idea. i.e. 

la>       "The more statistically improbable a thing is, the  less can we
la> believe that it just happened by blind chance.

>>>>>>>  Superficially <<<<<<<<<, the

On the surface
It may appear to be

la>   (Dr Richard Dawkins (Department of Zoology, Oxford University, UK),
la> "The necessity of Darwinism". New Scientist, vol.94, 15 April 1982,
la> p.130.) 

And, as ALWAYS, when you misquote Dawkins I have to add the LAST
part of the paragraph to put the misquote back into context.....

SO... for the 7th time....  Here's the rest of what Dawkins said:

The more statistically improbable a thing is, the less can we
believe that it just happened by blind chance.  Superficially the
obvious alternative to chance is an intelligent Designer. But
Charles Darwin showed how it is possible for blind physical forces
to mimic the effects of conscious design, and, by operating as a
cumulative filter of chance variations, to lead eventual to organized
and adaptive complexity, to mosquitoes and mammoths, to humans and
therefore, indirectly, to books and computers.

As far as I know, I don't think the moon has impacted the earth.
And for most of us, the speculation of you being deranged has
gone far beyond the hypothesis stage :)

I can understand the stupidity in Murray. Texas has me wondering, unless
it has something to do with certain Texas types (not all Texans are bad
at all, just some of them (like a former President - you pick ).

That's strange, to say the least. Most of the records are computerized
today, and we usually don't see anything like that unless someone has
really been lazy...

One of the problems in today's society is that too much information is
available to anyone that wants it. One of the themes that I've used in
some of my SF deals with this very problem. What gets to me is that we
are too stupid to see it and do something about it. I think you've run
into another use of something that should be private information, but
probably isn't.

SQ>I have one of those here, too.  They have not attempted to enter my house,

Don't put it past them. Some are stupid enough to try.

Oh, I didn't note that part.

But I do remember a part in the Gospel of John where John is laying with
his head on Jesus' chest and referring to himself as "the apostle whom
Jesus loved."
