Again with the insults. Why do you debate in such an immature way?

The gw crowd are from liberals stomping their feet demanding the debate is over...via algore.

Let’s not lose sight of what liberalism is for...shutting down debate, global warming, and of courese as Chrissy Fit Matthews demanded, the “settled science of evolution” that liberals are mere monkeys, flinging poo and spittle at anyone that questions them or their “science”.

Don't be messin' with the snakehandlers. No one knows their position on evolution anyway, but they've been known to drop off snakes at unbeliever's homes.

Believe me, you don't want to be attracting their attention ~ OK?!?!?

Just leave 'em out of this.

Please, nooo! We have enough bad writing and unfunny comedies on TV now days as it is. Really good comedic writing requires intelligence and a sense of irony. And that would most certainly disqualify Brian Thomas.


Soooo much better to stick to the comedy of the “settled evolution science” of Chrissy Fit Matthews, “the debate is over” hot air cult science of algore and now we have Al Franken...oooooo boy I just can’t WAIT to hear what HE says about science!

Why don’t you ask your fellow evos that, as well?

Or is it “Do as I say, and not as I do” for you, too?

Evos sure are good at dishing it out, but not so good at taking it.

Blood sucking insects encased in amber is definitely a coming market.

The Problem is how to hold the congressmen and Senators
still long enough for the sap to cover them.

Interesting question ~ do the glaciers show up somewhere in the Bible?

If we but go to one of the ancient cultures that provided much content to the earliest parts of the Bible, that of Sumer (and Abraham knew the place well, although he lived many centuries after its founding), we find that in their own texts they appear to have visited places in the Far North that were covered with glaciers. These are believed to have been the remnants of the last Ice Lobe over Scandinavia, the Alps and the Himalayas.

So, no, the Hebrew scribes didn't get around to including the glacier stories ~ probably because they simply had no idea what they were, but the Sumerian scribes who preceded them descibed them extensively.

Worth noting, the Sodom and Gomorrah story is written over top an Ice Age story that involves a woman and her responsibilities of finding husbands for her daughters. Reindeer following societies had then and do now a "problem" in that it was the men who took to the trails in the winter to follow the animals while the women and old folk stayed in small villages until the next Spring (a common way of life for many socities through the ages).

This made the women fully responsibile for arranging marriages.

When Lot decided to abandon the old ways and move to town, he took his wife with him ~ and alas the town was full of gay guys (which must have left them roaring over the fire in the evening). The whole thing was about as funny to those early people as the story about Arjuna and the Heavenly Weapons (where he got turned into a woman for a year ~ and wow did he screw things up).

But, I digress. The Hebrews didn't include the glacier literature, but it existed, and if they'd wished, they had access to it in Sumer and could have included it. We, too, can include it.

Worth noting ~ when Antarctica melted down to its present vast size, it shed a phenomenal amount of water in a short time ~ think of shelves thousands of times as big as those at present just dumping off into the South Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean basins. That would have generated recursive tsunamis that would have raked the shores of the world for many years destroying everything in their path.

I suspect we'll eventually find Sumerian texts discussing the vast tsunamis that washed inland as far as the mountains to the North (Ararat).

Careful, you're starting to make Elmer Fudd look like a genius.

This from the crowd that demands they're nothing more than great apes and bans all things intelligent.

I’ve never heard of anyone wanting to see how quickly they could make coal, easier to just buy a few lumps, but making diamonds in a very short time is nothing unusual.
General Electric started doing it over fifty years ago and tons and tons of diamonds are turned out every year, not millions of years.
And a goodly quantity of other gem stones too.

Now I know you're a crackpot - I've been running the ‘politics of global warming’ pinglist on fr for about 3 years now. Anyone could tell you it has nothing to do with ‘liberals’

And you can’’t spell Creationist without C-R-E-T-I-N


You can’t buy into the cult of evolution without BEING a cretin, or ape as the case may be.

And siding with algore, Chrissy Fit Matthews, etc.

And don’t ya love it when people make fools of themselves calling others CRETIN and spelling it out etc., and spell can’t... can”t? LOL!

Recorded history goes back about 5000 years so when was this global ice age that merits nary a mention?

DN: Again with the insults. Why do you debate in such an immature way?

What insults? You must be confused with the post immediately before yours and your and your liberal ilk’s projection problems.

Again.

And tell us, what led you to believe you’ve ever in any way shape or form been involved in “debate” of any kind since you began re-trolling FR?

From now on permission will be sought at the back door of The Temple of Darwinism. The ICR rep. should bring a generous pinch of incense and hold hat in hand.

Actually, it's only the evos who have had that happen to them. You really need to get your facts straight, but it's understandable considering you're an evo. Being really confused just comes with the territory.

I was going to ask this troll for proof but what's the point?

I've seen a few cases where normal people have surmised all these trolls are only one person, (were you one of them cottshop???) with literally nothing better to do than sit in Mommy's basement with a keyboard and parrot the same ole Al Frankenesque drivel, actually believing that they're actually "debating".

Anyway, alot of them have been reduced to saying the same things over and over and over. Ignoring all the times they've been debunked. Or fixated on where an article belongs for instance, since there's seriously no hope in their honestly debating or addressing their sinking ship.

It's gotten so bad for some of them, it's all they're capable of doing at this point, with the occasional projections about everyone else that doesn't buy into their cult as being dull, ill-informed, mean-spirited, etc. etc. etc.
