W0RF said:Well, by lumping me in with Redfist you've pretty much confirmed why I stayed out of this thread, and probably should have just kept out. Some of "us guys" just don't feel like discussions need to turn into pissing matches. Yes, redfist could have said "well scientists who boycott conventions don't seem open-minded" which is a hell of a lot different from "non-violent" but that doesn't mean I think there's something to be gained from making a laundry list of atheism's historical foibles. I warned Red to back off, I didn't jump to his defense, but I'm getting a little tired of the whole "you guys had the Crusades" argument.
W0RF said:I'll just be over here with all of "us guys" fascinated by small shiny objects. It's too bad, too, because your references to the experiential side of science as rationale would have made an interesting discussion.
Evil_Cope said:Seriously, someone should just lock this thread. Its dead, cancerous, aborted.
Start a new one, at least, if you must grab the wrong end of each other's sticks.![]()
ReD_Fist said:Well my main idea is,
In this MODERN age,(death -no death) the people who don't believe in creation make an ass out of themselvs.
C,mon Scientists getting pissed all because this group who ran the convention is somthing like ("correct coricculum......somthing") whom they wanted to diguss that teaching creation is not a bad thing,as well as telling about darwin ,and other school classes.
So all because of that they boycotted the convention,wich is rediculas,are they so self absorbed as to go that far ,and not insert there 2cents into this thing they hosted?
Hence,if they are that intolerent,how can they speak that not teaching creation is the way things should be.
and or
people who seem to believe there is no god is doing the exact thing that these wars were started over,accept in the name of religion.
It is not scientific to finger religion as the bad, and teaching there is no god is good.
I say they should teach both,no wars LoL,but no ACLU either...................
A two-way discussion would not invoke "you guys", plural.Mister_Prophet said:How I'm lumping anyone? This is a two way discussion.
At what point did I do that? At what point did I express anything approaching a defense of HIS opinion?In fact I was surprised that you actually defended his convention thing.
You said it yourself, it's a joke....Then why not bring it up? Why post in the thread when you clearly don't want to?

People do stupid things for stupid causes. On this we agree.

ReD_Fist said:NOT quite,,,
these are all school people,teachers etc etc and also wanted the scientific community there as well.
W0RF said:... post deleted... screw it... this is just going in circles. "What does a convention have to do with starting wars" That says it simply. No laundry list. That was my problem. I couldn't care less what you do with Redfist. Or this thread.
no it won't.ReD_Fist said:Well,the deal is,is religion and believing there is a higher being will help people .
no it isn't, and you haven't responded to the tons of arguments made against this retarded point yet, so i'm not going to do it again.Anti religion non belief is all about Me me me 24,7 for instance pres bush quit drinking on account of it,(just one example,so don't politisize it)
that is their problem, not yours.Someone preaching abortion don't help anyone change there life it just makes them miserable after words and have to live with it the rest ofthere life.
they are unhappy because of unnecessary hassle and persecution from the ever so helpful relgious people.Someone preaching faggotism and practicing it they will never be happy
good, there are too many people anyways.and won't reproduce
again, that is their problem.they may think they are,but down deep they know it is not right,
so is this.so they can live with that the rest of there life.
for someone that wants both sides to be heard, you sure as hell don't know what 'debate' means.And another thing,if people wern't intrested nor have some idea of a higher being,why is there 11,000 views of this thread? (no lame answers please)

RedFist said:And I don't understand ware Mr proph.is thinking this was some radical religios march from a bunch of radical teachers,it is not what I heard,it was to go through a corriculum for students,,math,science,english and so on.
But they boycotted it anyway all because they mentioned they would bring up teaching creationism,is all it was.

i'm not holding my breath. creationists have denied transitional forms exist for a while now when they clearly do. several examples have been posted in this very thread, what is another to them?Mister_Prophet said:...I'd like to see your take on this.
If by "cornered" you mean "misrepresenting my points and blanketing his poor arguments in sarcasm" then yeah, I guess he sure did corner me a lot.Balton said:lol, worf is up to his old routine. got boring being cornered by sam etc.?
