The fact that Obama is now backpedalling like crazy from his initial statement (which was freaking condescending as hell) is proof positive that he isn't the wonder child he was touted to be. Between Hillary outright lying about being under fire in her '96 Bosnia trip, Obama's spiritual advisor bein...

Unfortunately, about the only thing anyone will want to write about in this topic is snide remarks about pedo priests. that's the Catholic bashers mind-set ! Yep. It's a quick and thought-free kneejerk way to dismiss an entire Church. I obviously had (and still have) differences of opinion with the...

My wife takes almost the same approach you described for the most part, but did you ever think that you've had control for most of your career because of the gender difference? Growing up, I hardly ever saw a class get out of control when a dude was teaching. With women, it was much more prominent ...

Mike, its not like she stood there and argued with the kid for a while until he got fed up and launched the pen at her. She passed out the quiz, he said he didn't want to take it, she said he had to take it. Pen thrown. Are you telling me when a kid says he or she refuses to comply with what the re...

Why should she give a fuck if he takes a quiz or not? I'd just shrug and pencil the idiot in for a zero. No fuss, no muss. mv, its not that easy. You can't just give a kid a zero. Its so fucked up. Actually, it IS easy. Teacher tells student to take quiz. Student refuses. Teachers asks clearly: &qu...

Meanwhile EVERY thread in which you post, you end up throwing one of your patented Flintstones Are Fake tantrums. Really? Care to back that up with actual facts? Like I did with my assertion?

Mike the Lab Rat

Oh, yes... your personal obsession with proving The Flintstones was fiction. Hey, at least MY topic was remotely related to the issue.

I love how a scientific asshat like Cude's can casually dismiss ALL scientists and scientific methodology because SOME scientists buy into global warming. That WAS his tack when he posted this bit of utter "brilliance" By people who "actually grasp science" is it safe to assume y...

Mike the Lab Rat

Yet there are plenty of self-proclaimed "scientists" who claim to believe in man-made global warming. So? The fact remains that there is a mound of data and that equally-qualified scientists disagree on the matter. Anthropogenic global warming IS an issue that is in dispute, with the jury...

If we were talking about politcs, I would probably use the phrase Ad Hominem. But since this is the 21st century and it's all about your dogma, I guess this is part of the 'sceintific' method. If by "scientific method," you mean actually taking the time to verify the accuracy of a claim -...

Keep up with the ignore/discount schtick, 'science' boy. It suits you.

Mike, have you ever actually read any of her books? I have, and she backs her statements up with voluminous research and footnotes thru-out. She's also funny as hell, in a sarcastic way.

I pretty much ignore and/or discount anything Coulter writes, including the quote above (which I didn't bother to read).

Any time she does happen to get something correct, it's more of those "blind squirrel/nut" things.

Behe is a freaking twit. His own department at Lehigh considers him an embarrassment. His responses during the Kitzmiller/Dover trial didn't help his reputation either.

but what about the mousetrap If you're referring to the goofy argument that a mousterap is completely useless if any one of its pieces is missing, many folks, including Ken Miller , have defused that claptrap.

There's a better chance the team gets bought by either a local group or a group of investors from Los Angeles.

Twaddle. I've debunked intelligent design in depth repeatedly in other threads. Hell, I even STARTED a thread on the Dover court decision. Your accusations are weak and unfounded.

It's logical to assume that the serpent had some 'other' form or nature before the incident, seeing as how the natures (or 'forms') of Adam and Eve were both changed after the incident, by virtue of the curse that God said had come upon them. Using the word "logic" in the attempt to ratio...

Mike, are you sure it was a snake speaking to Eve? Genesis 3 tells us that it was the serpent.

Well, if the OT writings are now cancelled, I guess that holy rollers should stop trying to cite the Ten Commandments as big-time moral laws.
