Register here! Are you creationist or evolutionist?

Dan Could I request you and MrHambre cool the jets on your humour for a couple of days?I broke 3 ribs at work yesterday and your posts are making me laugh hard enough to overcome my pain medication.(actually you two should do a seperate forum on it )
On point of topic I am Atheist and Evolutionist due to lack of evidence to support another view on the former and overwhelming evidence in favour of the latter.

I thought I was a herpetologist working on the kinematics of biological change but lack of engineers to do some form of desgin of Simon Levin's "ecosystem" changed that back to my sole preoccupation of figuring out what kind of machine could extract energy from forms' (evoluionist's "bauplan" no matter the time involved) rigidity-stability. The rise of EVOLUTIONARY Discource against Creationism (take a date from the Cornell Prof who went to Europe on vacation to write a response to the newly emerged existence of ICR and CRS using knoweldge in genetics if you need one that is just as close to my birth date etc) has inhibited the ability of biologists to focus on the constancy in the change and rather than tokenize any difference of creation (c) and evolution (e) I find the polarization but not the polarity a detraction to furthering my goal of utilitzing molecular science to gain say historical differences in the interpretation of electricity. I do however find the creationist criticism of evolution telling as to how it was that I could not find biologists ABLE to strech the three disciplines (Biology, Chemistry, and Phyiscs) necessary to carry out the task to benefit humanity so instead being isolated I often revert not to the parent form but instead to some notion I deried from UNDERSTANDING both Pascal and Galelio and try to imagine how ecosystem engineering could be possible and begin to provide a way to alter agriculture (instead ofthe science of energy transduction) into biomass productivity to garnish sustainablity indeed. We do not know how much time THIS will take which really does make it MORE difficult for an evoultionist (say my Grandfather who has passed but not even John Edwards could see that when he was in Jamestown) to tell how long it took New York State to go from let us suppose an aquatic habit to a brackish habitat to a thousands islands in a sea of people. New Jersey IS NOT New York. And there were differences there as well.I did all of this work just by supposing* that evolution occured over a long time period but creationists were correct to assert that one may not *suppose this higher education (which was good enough for public k-12) and IS ALL THE LAW REQUIRES but that one had to take it on even at a private school where the motto is to let the student study anything, there is an explict program to be a scholar of such, and one of the founders of the place to learn "higher" wrote a historically important paper in the area of science and religion. Go figure why the Riddler is not the Penguin. The Gothic Building is all there ever was.

Remember the golden rule of comedy, Sidelined. "It's not funny until somebody gets hurt."

I currently accept the ToE as the best explanation for the diversity of life. Since I tend to think like an ecologist, and am fascinated by small furry things, if I were to go to all the trouble of worshipping something it would probably resemble a tenrec or perhaps Eomaia.

You know, I saw a newspaper headline the other day that read "Dyslexia For Cure Found". It was after hanging out at the Thanksgiving Day Parade... they had a float from the National Dyslexic Society which was, as always, reminding us that it's dyslexic being hell.(I've got a million of them. My little sister is dyslexic, and what kind of sister would I be if I didn't taunt her about it? ).------------------

You certainly had an influence on the holidays! Remember, from We Three Kings:"Myrh is mine, it's bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, breathing, dying
Sealed in a stone cold tomb"Of course, that is one of the few pieces of Christmas Carols that still truly reflect your glory. For example, few remember the original version of one song..."Hark! the nameless cultists sing, "Glory to our dreaming King,
Deep beneath the ocean waves, dreaming in his watry grave.
Soon the stars will all be right, usher in eternal night!
When Cthulhu comes to reign, things here bouts wont be the same!"
Hark! the namesless cultists sing, "Glory to our dreaming King!" "- Rei (Grand Low Priestess of Cthulhu's Womyn's Knitting Cirkle)

Former "Cristian", who was "born-again" in his early twenties. Was brainwashed...err re-educated...err educated in college and realized during electro-shock therapy that God does... *BZZT*...err doesn't exist.All joking aside (its late ), I was born-again for a while but commen sense and intellectual dissastisfaction steared me to the realization that I just didn't know enough about science and how it works. I read a lot, Gould and Sagan to name two, and took courses in biology and the other sciences in college. Education....it frees the mind!

Can I just say that, judging just from this thread, Evolutionists just HAVE to have it right.Evos are funny. It takes smarts to be funny.I mean, can anyone point towards anything intentionally really funny, witty, wry, etc. being produced by a Creationist here or elsewhere?

Evolutionist atheist, hardcore gamer, night-desk clerk, survivor of the Cola Wars, not-so-single white male (sorry, ladies ), sometime juggler, informed voter, erstwhile student, and Foam-Sword Samurai.I think that about covers it.

Fundamentalism is the opposite of humor. Nobody who views themself as God's soldier in the Evil Wars has the time or inclination for making the funny.

Let's give credit where credit is due schraf...Syamsu is a wonderful comedian...who else could come up with a line like "I tend to ignore science"..you can practically hear the drum roll and the crash of the cymbal's after that one....or his joke about not believing in natural selection rather in "the wet penis and wet vagina"..how can such humor not bring a smile to ones face? or Salty, now there was a comedian of profound wit..."Grasse agrees with me but he is dead so there is no point in arguing"(my paraphrase) was a wonderful oft used punchline in salty's repetoire....or "the evidence for design is self evident"...concise yet profoundly comedic....even messenjah told a great joke upon his arrival "I know evolution like the back of my hand"...I am still recovering my breathe from this outburst of wit.

I'm trying to remember the name of the not-very-regular poster who opined, "I think, at its foundation, belief in God is a matter of faith." That HAD to be intentional, folks. And Weary Pilgrim, one of our recent young believers, offered this classic when confronted with questions about all the other gods in the pantheon: "Chances are, if there is a God, it's one of the three most popular."------------------

did he by chance say who the other two would be?
If it is a competition would it be like American Idol? American God...I would have to say the Hindu pantheon might have an advantage in the dancing competition, the Greek gods might win for fashion since everyone loves a toga party.
