Re: intuitive linking
even Richard Dawkins says 'it MUST have happened that way'
​
Why do you keep quoting Richard Dawkins like he is the Evolutionists Pope? He is one guy with an opinion. What he says has nothing to do with the reality that TOE and abiogenesis are 2 different but related subjects. No matter what you say or what you quote from Richard Dawkins that is the truth.

Again Dawkins.
He is not our Pope.
"The Selfish Gene" is not the Theory of Evolution.
​
Your comments have gone from the sublime to the ridiculous.

I think you need a science class.
Just an idea.

Re: intuitive linking
But his book still SOLD OUT ON THE VERY FIRST DAY. We’re supposed to believe that’s because of a sudden interest in science by general public. Common sense tells me that it was a long hunger for intellectually fulfilled atheism that caused the book to sell out, for Darwin to be hero to atheists, in 1859, and today.
​
Again you show an amazing ability to not only be wrong but to misrepresent also.\.
The first edition was less than 1200 copies. Whoopee, there is an atheist revolution for you. As for selling out on the first day. Read away.
​
quote:
Darwin received a copy early in November; Peckham says that Murray sent it on Wednesday 2nd. The overseas presentation copies were sent out before Friday 11th, and the home ones must have gone out at about the same time because he received a letter of thanks from Sir John Lubbock on Tuesday 15th, or earlier. Twenty-three author's presentation copies are recorded, but there were probably more; the twelve which I have seen are all inscribed by one of Murray's clerks and I know of no record of one inscribed by Darwin himself. It was offered to the trade at Murray's autumn sale a week later, on 22nd; most sources say that 1,500 were taken up, others 1,493. Only 1,250 had however been printed of which 1,192 were available for sale, the rest being twelve for the author, forty-one for review and five for Stationers' Hall copyright. As Darwin took at least another twenty for presentation, the final number available for the trade was about 1,170. These facts are at variance with the often-printed statement that all the 1,250 copies were sold to the public on publication day, Thursday 24th; indeed once copies had reached the bookshops, up and down the country, how could anyone know whether they were sold or not. The origin of this mistake is in Darwin's diary '1250 copies printed. The first edition was published on November 24th, and all copies sold first day.' And in a letter to Huxley on November 24th "I have heard from Murray today that he sold the whole edition of my book the first day."

Re: intuitive linking
The movie Expelled demonstrated it clearly.
Show how Expelled wasn't just a bunch of lies.

Ok I have to bite
Like a $13 trillion national debt, that didn’t exist before an activist court separated church and state in 1947.
​
Please explain the following.
1) What is the court ruling you are referring to and what do you think the ruling says?
2) How is the national debt related to separation of church and state?
​
Edited by Theodoric, : No reason given.
