Please hold your breath while waiting for the results.<BR/><BR/>I see that PiD is trying to take you seriously, but he is young and has not lost patience with creationist cretins to the degree that I have. Still, I do have my kindlier side, so let me reduce your ignorance: "Walla" is half of a city in Washington State and "Voilà" is a French word that you don't know how to spell.Zenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058127284297728552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-34898086324846058992007-05-21T14:12:00.000-07:002007-05-21T14:12:00.000-07:00Anonymous, The animosity you direct towards argume...Anonymous, <BR/><BR/>The animosity you direct towards arguments other than yours is unmistakable. Therefore, I doubt you are seriously interested in opening a conversation. However, on the off chance that you possess the intellectual curiosity that you accuse those who accept evolution of lacking, let me pose this question. I have reviewed answersingenesis.org and find most of the material unsound. Which of the many arguments found there do you find most convincing?<BR/><BR/>Sincerely, <BR/><BR/>PiD.PlatoisDerridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359099109925868324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-43560147462146166602007-05-21T09:50:00.000-07:002007-05-21T09:50:00.000-07:00If evolutionists want to end the arguments all the...If evolutionists want to end the arguments all they need do is, get their brilliant heads together and assemble a 'simple' living cell. This should be possible, because today they certainly have a very great amount of knowledge about the contents of the so-called 'simple' cell. <BR/> <BR/>After all, shouldn't all the combined Intelligence of all the worlds scientist be able the do what chance encounters with random chemicals, without a set of instructions, accomplished about 4 billion years ago, 'according to the evolutionists,' and having no intelligence at all available to help them along in their quest to become a living entity. Surely the evolutionists scientists of today should be able to make us a 'simple' cell.<BR/> <BR/>If it weren't so pitiful it would be humorous, that intelligent people have swallowed the evolution mythology.<BR/> <BR/>Beyond doubt, the main reason people believe in evolution is that sources they admire, say it is so. It would pay for these people to do a thorough examination of all the evidence CONTRARY to evolution that is readily available: Try answersingenesis.org. The evolutionists should honestly examine the SUPPOSED evidence 'FOR' evolution for THEMSELVES.<BR/> <BR/>Build us a cell, from scratch, with the required raw material, that is with NO cell material, just the 'raw' stuff, and the argument is over. But if the scientists are unsuccessful, perhaps they should try Mother Earth's recipe, you know, the one they claim worked the first time about 4 billion years ago, so they say. All they need to do is to gather all the chemicals that we know are essential for life, pour them into a large clay pot and stir vigorously for a few billion years, and Walla, LIFE!<BR/> <BR/>Oh, you don't believe the 'original' Mother Earth recipe will work?

As a mathematician, you are surely familiar with the practice of counting in bases other than 10. Perhaps Mr Michael counts in base many. It goes something like this: "1, 2, 3, many, many-1, many-2, many-3, lots." <BR/><BR/>PiD. <BR/><BR/>*Idea of base many on loan from Pratchett.PlatoisDerridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359099109925868324noreply@blogger.com
