Let's review. You started by posting a bit about human and dinosaur footprints that is so ludicrous even Ken Ham has distanced himself from it.

Confronted with evidence that you believe something so stupid even creation scientists can't support it, you lecture me about open-mindedness.

I think you should spend a bit less time embarrassing yourself on FR. You have the effect of looking like a DU troll.

There were other links posted on this thread about human and dinosaur footprints. Personally I have a heard time believing any human would want to walk down the lane next to a dinosaur but maybe they got along. I wasn't there so I can't possibly know.

Like Liberals, ID'ers seem to be both phyically and intellectually lazy and I am tired of repeating myself."Like Liberals, ID'ers seem to be both phyically and intellectually lazy and I am tired of repeating myself."

In other words, everyone who beleives in ID is a dope, and just chuck them in with the liberals...and no, I won't explain myself because I'm too intellectually superior to do so."

"Now how are you gaining scientific credence with ID? IS it through the scientific process? Nope... cause lies fall apart in front of the scientific process."

This is a ridiculous statement....It completely contradicts itself.....

I love these threads, you get to see how God-fearing Christians like myself are just simply too stupid to grasp the concept that science holds all the answers to the universe.....silly me.......

No, you're wrong about the definition of trolling. Trolling is not posting to one topic only. Trolling is "fishing" for responses. When you pick fights, such as calling people ACLU allies, you're trolling. You're using fighting words. You're not showing interest in the topic, you're interest seems to be to get a rise out of people who are interested in the topic. That's trolling.

No one here demands that you change your faith, just that you not tar good folks like Mary Schweitzer who, according to the article, has passages from the Proverbs on her office door. Maybe to you she doesn't believe the "right" things, but that doesn't make her a heathen or atheist.

Oh, funny. Just make fun of everyone who doesn't fall in line with evolution. And you wonder why so many people reject evolution. People like you. Have you called anyone a Bible-thumper today?

Who are you to decide where I find my entertainment? As long as I am a member in good standing of Free Republic, I don't see why I can't post to whichever threads interest me. If you don't want your kids to learn about anything other than evolution, just home-school.

Hehehe... why would I home-school my kids...they teach evolution in school here.

Oh and don't take it that I don't want you to post. I never said or at least I didn't mean for it to come out that way. You actually do seem like a nice person so by all means you are certainly welcomed to respond to me on any post I make and I hope that you do in the future. Please...let's not fight all the time, ok? I didn't mean it like that at all. I just take an attack on science in our schools as an attack on the future of the competitiveness of the US. It does upset me very much and I really do feel it is an important thing to fight for. When you made the statement it "entertained you" I got real angry because of how serious I think the issue is.

Well, then this could be true, right?

God created the heavens and the Earth over 4.5 Billion years. He created various plants and animals by using a process debated here as "evolution". He created humans as humans by having them evolve from other life forms over millions of years.

Why is that so incompatible with your beliefs?

I love science. Why, I even look forward to the astronomy pic of the day on here! LOL

What I have a problem with is people who refuse for anything else to be considered. I wonder if they feel the same about other subjects? Doubtful.

And yes, I am a very nice person.:)

Have a nice afternoon.

OK - public school is good in your opinion b/c they teach evolution. How do you feel about the homosexual agenda in public schools? And are you aware that government-controlled schools are one of the 10 planks of communism?

Just asking...

Because Adam and Eve were humans. No problem with the rest, though the Bible says say "created after their own kind" so I think dogs were dogs and were able to become different kinds of dogs, etc.

Humans are something special, though.

Threads like this just exhibit one of many reasons for the downfall of scientific knowledge among most in the US. Science is an interplay between theory and experimental evidence. If the data contradicts a theory, the theory is modified. You can't take something like Intelligent Design and force the data to fit your theory. It's the same phenomenon that happens when people try to disprove the moon landing or something equally absurd.

Facts prove a theory, not vice versa.

I see that you are very confused. It's not as simple as testing for the presence of putrescin. It is as impossible as burying a dead animal, waiting 68 million years to dig it up and *then* test for putrescin.

With reasoning skills like that, I can see why you think evolution is 'true'.

Actually not, first you test for putrescin and that it is actually present and not something else. If it is a fact it will either be explained or the origin remain unknown until a explanation is possible!! You do not assume it is putrescin as a fact and that it is x amount of years and therefore cannot be tested. That would be your logic and reasoning.

Further it would not accepted as a fact until tested except by those of opinion that would have a agenda.

She’s horrified that some Christians accuse her of hiding the true meaning of her data. “They treat you really bad,” she says. “They twist your words and they manipulate your data.”

One may be horrified without being surprised.

I'm beginning to really appreciate their nasty ways because it is so unpersuasive.

My astrologer told me you would say something like that. Oh, dear! I can see by the ball of luminous fairies in the sky that I'm late for an appointment with the witch doctor! Leeches don't suck the blood out of themselves, you know.

Being the cretin that I am, my cognitive skills are poor and I have lost my rabbit's foot once again. How can I leave the house without it?

Can I borrow yours? I'll trade you for a horseshoe--how's that?

If humans are "special" how come we share 98% of our genes with Chimpanzees?

I admit... that was probably wrong for me to say. I did say it however out of frustration for constantly having to answer the "same questions" over and over again. That is why I made the statement and instead of attempting to offend, I was simply trying to get the ID'ers to do some dang searching for answers on the net instead of making me do it. I went out of my way to read the Creationists/ID web sites... they could do the same if they tried. If you look back at some of my posts... I have to constantly repeat myself over...and over... and over again... often to the same people. So if you took it that I was calling them/you stupid, I apologize.

"Now how are you gaining scientific credence with ID? IS it through the scientific process? Nope... cause lies fall apart in front of the scientific process." This is a ridiculous statement....It completely contradicts itself.....

Now here I have nothing to apologize for. Please look at the next statements I make in the post. I state that since ID cannot be held up to scientific scrutiny, it continues to push itself onto the public schools to win proponents. Now... where am incorrect? That is exactly what it's proponents are doing, right? I then continue to talk about the dangers of using "invisible intelligences" to answer natural phenomena (or was that in another post...). So... where am I wrong?

I love these threads, you get to see how God-fearing Christians like myself are just simply too stupid to grasp the concept that science holds all the answers to the universe.....silly me.......

See... I don't think science currently has all the answers... as a matter of fact it is the job of science to answer the unknown is it not? Now... I don't really care what you believe and what you don't. What I do care about is one thing, that science not be subverted to push a religious belief. That is what ID is... it isn't science and has no place in a science class. Disagree?

So you don't believe humans are any better than chimps? BTW, what is the DNA difference between humans and pigs?

If humans share 98% of their genes with chimps, why can't that suggest a common Creator rather than a common ancestor?
