  Re: Not distinct from drowning them in a bathtub
 
(...) Hey Dave! They offer (URL) day care>! Funny they don't mention something like "Proud supporters of rod use." under their "Philosophy" page. They certainly sound proud enough to me in that they wrote. Adr. (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Not distinct from drowning them in a bathtub
 
Is (URL) the worst thing you've ever read? It's the worst thing I've ever read, and I've read (URL)! Seriously, how ****sick is this monster? Read this bit: My wife and I have a general goal of making sure that each of our children has his will (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: We're being attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of culture!
 
I'm not discussing the origin of the universe, and neither does Darwin. The Xtians trying to remove Darwin from *science* texts are mixing the 2 up, and trying to put Creationism on the same scientific level as Evolution. (...) -- Tom Stangl *(URL) (...)

  Re: We're being attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of culture!
 
(...) You know, it's a really SIMPLE answer... God is omniscient and omnipotent and created the universe, along with it creating the rules that govern the universe. Science is the human study of the laws of the Universe, those inviolate laws set by (...) (20 years ago, 17-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: We're being attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of culture!
 
(...) Read the thread. (...) Perhaps you'd like to forward a "rational" explanation of the origin of the universe? JOHN (20 years ago, 17-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: We're being attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of culture!
 
(...) I said Jesus' divinity was irrational. But what is so terrible about being irrational? Is Pi bad? JOHN (20 years ago, 17-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: We're being attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of culture!
 
And what, exactly, does Darwinism have to do with the origin of the *universe*? Darwinism is the origin of the *species*. So you will help fight the irrational Christians that are trying to remove Evolution from science classes, by demanding it be (...) (20 years ago, 17-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: Excellent news!
 
(...) Pretty much zealots like this guy are the reason I've stopped attending Church Proper. And that 'born again' = getting into heaven? Yeah, nice on ya... Idiots all. Dave K (20 years ago, 14-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Excellent news!
 
(...) **snip** (...) Correction. Make that "Minto ran an afternoon phone-in show in Western PA. Seems that Marty couldn't figure out when to keep his hateful mouth shut. He opined on-air last week that the Pope probably isn't going to go to heaven, (...) (20 years ago, 14-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: Bush, a flawed evil genius?
 
(...) Should that be "(URL) Gone Poland>"? I suppose now that Bush has won his 2nd term, there is no need for Poland (and others) to maintain their token presence. Scott A (20 years ago, 12-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: We're being attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of culture!
 
(...) It's primarily based on what I know about time considering its relation to energy, and how time is actually unconstant. Also, a sneaking suspicion that time is "curved" just like everything else. Similar to how we once thought the Earth was (...) (20 years ago, 11-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: We're being attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of culture!
 
(...) Oops! Did I do that? If so, I didn't mean to--sorry! I usually try to refer to the Christian deity as capital-G "God," but I know that I've sometimes included him in the rhetorical group lower-case-g "gods." I try to use the latter reference (...)

  Re: We're being attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of culture!
 
(...) Yes. AND specifically acknowledged as beyond the understanding of science. (...) Agreed. <faints> :-) JOHN (20 years ago, 11-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: We're being attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of culture!
 
(...) It sort of bugs me when people who are referring to God not capitalize it in an attempt to somehow disacknowledge His existence, but I digress (and demote "Science" to "science") (...) I like Lenny's statement, but I think there is much (...) (20 years ago, 11-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: We're being attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of culture!
 
(...) I don't make a statement about the origin. My statement would be: "There is not enough evidence to make an educated statement about the origin of the universe." The origin being defined as the moment(s) before the Big Bang. That statement (...) (20 years ago, 11-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: We're being attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of culture!
 
(...) Which "theories of origin," though? Do you mean that the "cause" of the Big Bang should not be discussed, or that the Big Bang itself should not be discussed? If the former, then I agree with you; such philosophizing currently is not suited to (...) (20 years ago, 11-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: We're being attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of culture!
 
(...) Yes, but I also contend that theories of the origin of the universe be excluded as well. JOHN (20 years ago, 11-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: We're being attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of culture!
 
(...) Sounds wise. Therefore, let science be silent on the matter of the origin of the universe. (...) But so is the origin of the universe! (which is my whole point!) (...) Only if you are claiming that they are not physical. (...) There is no (...) (20 years ago, 11-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: We're being attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of culture!
 
(...) Agreed. Which is why I have yet to see any science argue about events before the Big Bang(1). Those questions are best left to philosophers. -Lenny (1)= Well, not entirely true. Stephen Hawking has an interesting idea about the history of the (...) (20 years ago, 11-Apr-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
