  Re: Carl Sagan's "Cosmos"
 
(...) Hey! I'm not the apologist, I'm the vile accuser hell-bent to destroy Dr. Sagan's memory! :-) Bruce (23 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) There no reason to say this except to let him know that you don't really believe he's right and your wrong, i.e. you *do* have a problem letting him believe you're wrong and he's right. Bruce (23 years ago, 6-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Dang, I answered this one in your email. Everyone will have to be mystified as to my response. :-( Oh, I'll cover the very last point again because it's quick: the Sumerians, Egyptian, and Indians all developed their cultures along a major (...)

(...) The point is that you attempt to invalidate science on one hand, but it's suddenly valid when it serves your purpose. You do this very thing below. (...) The last willfully misconstrue evidence, take it out of context, ignore what is (...) (23 years ago, 6-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Heard him say it. Wasn't recorded. Doesn't mean I'm wrong or that Dr. Sagan remembered it. Gosh, you are taking this personally. Bruce (23 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I did. That's a short time, astromically speaking. (...) And......? It's still basic bad science to draw the conclusions you are inmplying. (...) As I mentioned before, recorded Chinese geneaologies go back further than 6,000 years. That's why (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

This is the same old Creationist dodge: (X) scientific theory isn't PROVEN (nothing is in science - it simply shows you don't understand science when you say such things) so it's just as much an article of faith as religion. Except one is based on (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: Geology from Outer Space
 
(...) I minored in Geology, so most of my knowledge on the subject came from hardcore geology texts. You might want to look in used book stores for the Time-Life series on Geology. Not up-to-date, I'd imagine, but they are far more involved than an (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
