My goodness,Why hate on Nehalem so?
PS: God is much greater than a kitchen appliance.
Let me say this:If Dinosaurs have been around for millions of years..they would be reproducing.Animals reproduce rapidly.Why isn't the earth 100 yds deep in dinosaur bones?
Oh oh..That doesn't quite fit in with evolution yet IS scientific.
I'm sorry your upbringing was how it was.
I know your mom was probably fornicating with an elder/preacher of whatever church you went to.That is bad.That is not God's plan.I know it scarred you.That is bad also.

:biggrin: I felt compelled to come back to this, because it really is just too precious.... :biggrin:

Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster we have Dr. Schmuckley here to educate us all about the totally obscure, deeply-researched and completely non-obvious fact that dinosaurs reproduced. I had no idea. :eek:

Here I was thinking they just kept popping into existence like virtual particles in a quantum vacuum.

Animals reproduce rapidly.
This one is cute. :wub:

Just a blanket statement characterizing the gestation periods and overall reproductive rates of the entire animal kingdom as though that's a completely reasonable thing to do. Why are those nincompoops worrying about all those supposedly "endangered" species? Dr. Schmuckley assures us that animals reproduce rapidly. We shouldn't worry about their dwindling populations. What a bunch of silly-billies! :$

Why isn't the earth 100 yds deep in dinosaur bones?
Then the good doctor springs his trap! Where are all those bones, hmm? HMMM?

I like this one -- not just for the implicit assumption that every bone should produce a fossil -- but for the blindly self-assured confidence that there couldn't be some underlying mitigating circumstance that makes fossilization a rare and haphazard phenomenon. No, sir. The good doctor couldn't possibly be mistaken, and the MUCH more reasonable supposition is that all of modern physics, biology, geology, and astronomy are not merely wrong, but all simultaneously colluding amongst each other to perpetrate a grand and multifaceted deception on the unsuspecting populace.

Yeah, that's gotta be it. :colbert:

Oh, dear Dr. Schmuckley...

The dinosaurs became extinct, cause they drowned in all the bones.

I checked with my friend testing the quantum vacuum thrusters and so far the results are inconclusive. If we find any quantum virtual dinosaurs I'll let you know. ;)

The quantum behavior of particles basically rules out the existence of a god. If a god existed that intervened in our universe it could not be done without leaving a fingerprint. In order to control the outcome of a situation a god would have to control particle behavior that would leave a detectable mark, particle behavior would be non-random, and no scientific evidence indicates anything of the sort.

It is possible that a supreme being set everything in motion and then left it up to chance after that initial point, but that doesn't really meet the classical definition of a god in human society.

Ok,so Dinosaurs existed for millions of years,reproducing.Yet they went extinct,and there really aren't that many fossils.
Seriously,if dinosaurs existed for millions of years, they would cover every square inch of the earth.If you cannot comprehend that,I don't know what more to say.I know you're intelligent.
I suppose you think an intelligent being such as yourself came to exist from some random cosmic soup that got a jolt of electricity or something.
Yeah..that hasn't quite been created in the lab yet.Even if it was;It would prove intelligent design.
Everything works in harmony with everything else..humans breathe out CO2..plants use CO2 to make oxygen etc etc..many intricacies.This is not random.

Ever wonder why the Earth isn't covered in Human bones?

Maybe because they haven't been around for millions of years :eek:
No, I never have :D
Ever wonder why the theory of evolution is still a theory?
Because it cannot be proven by the scientific method.

But onto more interesting topics. Why does your subconscious prevent you from hitting the spacebar after a period?

No, this is simply and stupidly false. Fossilization is rare, and well-understood to be so.

If you cannot comprehend that,I don't know what more to say.
That surprises me very, very little.

I know you're intelligent.
I guess even a blind hog can get a corn cob once in a while.

I suppose you think an intelligent being such as yourself came to exist from some random cosmic soup that got a jolt of electricity or something.
...aaaaand you're right back to being wrong about everything again.

Yeah..that hasn't quite been created in the lab yet.Even if it was;It would prove intelligent design.
You think intelligent design proposes life was created in a lab according to naturalistic processes?

Everything works in harmony with everything else..humans breathe out CO2..plants use CO2 to make oxygen etc etc..many intricacies.
Which cancer "works in harmony with everything else"? Brain cancer? Ovarian cancer? Which one is the most harmonious, or are they all equally harmonious?

You wanna write an email to the kids at St. Baldrick's Foundation and explain to them that their cancer is "working in harmony" with their bodies?


This is not random.
What would a "random" world look like?

How long have humans been around, you think? And how long does the human span of existence on this planet compare to the span of existence of the dinosaurs?

Ever wonder why the theory of evolution is still a theory?
Because it cannot be proven by the scientific method.

Which things do you think can "be proven by the scientific method"?

Dude, we never get characters around here like this anymore! Call me a sadist for beating up on the special needs kid if you want, but I relish an opportunity to make a spectacle of someone like this. Ignorance of the magnitude he displays shouldn't be ignored, but should be mocked, derided, and scorned. Indifference to ignorance is shameful.

You can mock him without actually addressing his stupid "arguments," in length. Probably why the other guy said you took the bait.

moonbogg is slowly taking the place of Mayne with some of these threads here...

*gasp* is Mayne an alternate account of moonbogg??!?!?!?!?!

But in the case of this user just being slightly short of a few brain cells, I'll take the bait. If consciousness can be "proven" (lol) then I don't see how that implies god is real or exists. What does god have to do with beings being aware of their existence. And furthermore, I personally define consciousness as simply being aware that time is moving.

What you posted is ridiculous. Just so you know.
