Here follows is the text of a newsgroup discussion thread on talk.origins ... it began with Ed Conrad and a "short poem disproving evolution," and here's the responses he got back (it's quite funny): Lump of coal, Piece of rock, Truth be told, It's all a crock.

David, Ed's ego rules over his intellect. He feels he's right even if the rest of the world proves him wrong. I feel if he admited defeat it'd take down his personality like a pack of cards. For this reason you are wasting your time, no matter what approach you try. I've even tried emailing Ed to get to understand what his theories are regarding the coal and hubble 'evidence'. No reply. He's set on broadcast.

No, we don't wonder. That little couplet explains it quiet adequately. (Provided, of course, that one reads "Christian" to mean "creationist". There are Christians who are not creationists; they may even be in the majority. And considering that creationists prefer to worship a book rather than studying God's work, one could argue that they are not Christians at all.)

And you guys >wonder why us Christians contend with Darwinian evolution????? God >bless, Jo Jean Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he hold to as being certain from reason and experience. Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men. If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, think their pages are full of falsehoods and on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of Holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books. For then, to defend their utterly foolish and obviously untrue statements, they will try to call upon Holy Scripture for proof and even recite from memory many passages which they think support their position, although _they understand neither what they say nor the things about which they make assertion_.

Well, no, Jo Jean. That's not true. The reply to you was a bit over the top and quite inappropriate. On the other hand, I have criticized YOU for using a name like "BigDiscusser" when you don't really DISCUSS anything. While that sort of thing doesn't frustrate me, I can see why it would frustrate others. > Thanks to those that showed a little civlity--as I tried to honestly do > for Ed. God bless, Jo Jean The time for civility with Ed has long since passed. Ed is not a civil person. But that's a personal judgement we all make individually. > I am an 80 year old Christian lady.

Yes, I recognize the problem with calling somebody insane because of their beliefs, that is why I used the vague term "on your way" which I used for a little humor as lame as it might have been. Probably anybody accepting axiomatically beliefs as exemplified by my two questions above would no doubt *not* recognize that I was ridiculing those beliefs by asking them in what I considered their most extreme or ridiculous form.

Do you believe that the universe solely exists so that its most important inhabitants, humans, have a place to live, in which to obtain shelter and food and create some more important inhabitants? Do you believe that by saying the words "I believe that Jesus was killed (as required by God) to absolve my sin (given by this same God)" that you will live forever?

I had a little bit too much to drink last night. So, I apologize for the rudeness, but the sentiment stands. That lady calls herself "big discusser" and staunchly avoids all discourse, happy in her world of ignorance. I don't much care her age, rank and serial number; she's a moron and has been one since she got here, and I, being a staunch supporter of equal rights, will treat her as such. Fuck her and all stupid people like her. Now, care to ask what *she* plans to accomplish with her litany of "rah, rah" posts that offer nothing but simple stupidity? I find someone who dares call herself a "big discusser" who has such strong ideas on a subject, yet refuses to actually discuss anything, just spout out pithy cheerleading nonsense far more offensive than a four letter word. YMMV. As I said, it was an unfortunate choice of words. She's a moron.

I'm assuming that there must be something, since I haven't seen anyone use 'cunt' that gratuitously since one of my friends tried to impress the rest of us by proving that he knew the word -- and that was in fourth grade. Please, enlighten me as to your intent. I've really tried to figure it out, but I've eliminated all of the possibilities I can think of. I don't think you are trying to display your volcabulary, since most of us have known what 'stupid' and 'cunt' mean for years. I'm also pretty sure that wasn't intended to be a display of debating technique, unless you were going for the 'how not to' approach. And there are far simpler ways to convince people that you are a flaming asshole. So I'm fresh out of ideas. --Mike Dunford "(BigDiscusser)" news:12905-3CDB14F4-89@storefull-2311.public.lawson.webtv.net... > I am an 80 year old Christian lady.
