There is a university nearby your house, right?
How about if you go and ask the 'nutjobs' in the biology department........you know, those 'idiots' in there
Its truly ridiculous that there is so much access to knowledge .........YET so much lack of desire to learn
In the meantime, can someone tell that stupid H1N1 virus to stop mutating......How many variations exist already?
Its a conspiracy........all those guys that talk about it are in it........probably were part of the same group that executed the 9/11 attacks......probably are freemasons as well...........you would know all this if you would use the ouija.
Does everyone see how culture ends?
First rejection to science...THEN we turn to ouija boards........and all the others that claim to have a direct line to the sky........
Pat Robertson can you help us??????????? I hear you are an expert of these 'deals with the devil' subject.....it is TRUE!
ps. I agree with Zit....can someone send this elsewhere, politics or RR?
Theory of Evolution and Little Consensus

There is little scientific consensus on how macroevolution is said to have happened, as can be seen in the following quotes:

I always enjoy going through Zit's quotes/links.....(this one leads me to a new and interesting site.......conservapedia.com.......which in its front page has this
"Bad news for Richard Dawkins fans. Conservapedia now ranks #1 at Google USA and Google UK for "Doug Jesseph" - a man who was called the most impressive debater for atheism. The rankings can be seen HERE and HERE. Attention Richard Dawkins: When are you going to debate William Lane Craig and Dinesh D'Souza? In addition, Richard, Conservapedians would immensely enjoy it if you were beat in a debate by Rabbi Boteach again even though you might once again deny you ever debated him!"
Glad to know we get stuff from unbiased sources.
I would love to buy Mr Schwartz's book but I don't have access to my Alma Mater library anymore.....and I doubt they would have it, anyway I would love to know what he says about the human fossil record

This is dangerous. Messed around this when I was a young teenager. The spirit we awoke kept spelling, "I W A N T Y O U R C H A R M S", "I W A N T Y O U R C H A R M S", "I W A N T Y O U R C H A R M S"...over and over again.
The next morning the box of lucky charms was empty. I had to settle for shredded wheat that morning. Don't fuck with ouija board.
Gee, thanks for posting those details. I looked it up. Rabid atheist
Richard Dawkins gets his ass kicked in a debate and then lies about even being there in the first place.
ComedyGold. You can't make this shit up.
http://www.shmuley.com//articles/details/the_debate_richard_dawkins_chose_to_forget/
Typical, ad hominem attack on the source, and ignore the content.
Besides, as if your sources aren't biased.
hno:
Your sources have a political agenda, I (or anyone) would be disingenuous to notice that.
Please be sure to point it out next time I post something with a gazillion links from/to 'liberalpedia'
As for Dawkins........I wonder how many debates /conferences does he take part in ......every year? Shoot the man if he forgets the specific detail of every one, REGARDLESS
As for 'getting his ass kicked' not sure if you are saying that because after the debate people didn't change their minds.........I could have guarrantee you that was going to be the outcome, the fairy tales, the 'emotional investment' and the irrational promises (eternal happiness.....inmortality.......spending forever with your loved ones.........gazillion virgins .......etc etc) are too ingrained in most people
why do you think the Catholics killed so many and built Churches right on top of Aztec temples? Because they were very convincing after giving a speech to the Aztecs??
SO ,.........are you sending Mr Schwarz an email asking his opinion on human's fossil record?????????? His contact details are READILY available and would love to know what he thinks of your statements (that use his quotes as evidence)
