I am afraid i have been to busy to devote much time to the forum however i will pop in now and then for those truely looking for information i have put my email address in profile feel free to drop a line though be patient over the reply as time gets away from me cheers Terry.

Welcome back, Terry! It's good to have the view from down under back with us.

Helen saw it coming long before I did. When the first reports began to appear in the press of an easy-to-take drug that could effectively treat men who were unable to have erections--a good year before low cost censored hit the drug stores--Helen said that this drug was going to change the sexual landscape in a radical way. She wanted to buy Pfizer stock.

Helen must be a lot smarter than you, obviously, Rod. But where in God's name ( ! ) did censored creep into this topic on "Inteligent Design"? WTF?

BTW: our know-it-all, derisive "professional Aussie archaeologist" who started this topic certainly didn't display intelligent spelling!

I guess he figured this would be a good place to sell censored since there's all these old farts here.

Sign in Frank!

Voila! I'm here! ......Got nothin' to say, but I'm here.

I'm glad you signed in Frank. I was at work when I first read this but couldn't get logged on. Honestly, I would never even infer that any of you guys were old . . . . . . .

Just check out Marija Gimbutas "The Civilization of the Goddess" from the library. Since I plan on living only about 20 more years, doubt if I'll get it read, even if the library allows me to keep renewing it. 401 pages of stuff not counting, notes, glossaries, chronologies, tables, etc. Plus I'm getting too old to carry anything that heavy. LOL

Perhaps there's an audio version...............

can you have inteligent design without a physical brain to concoct it all??

god has never been proven to exist. People are asked to have Faith that god exists. Religion is Stone-age science, it amazes me to see people trying to fit god into the science of today.

Who said that? I mean, I agree but ............

I thought it was you forgetting to sign in again.

Wasn't me. I'm seldom amazed by anything. Also, I know that intelligent has two "L"s.

Not in the bible belt it doesn't!

i perused this topic before responding and i see that it is populated by many who have a hard time with alternative theories to evolution. so i have a few questions to ask:

1. what are you afraid of? if evolution is true, then those that adhere to it would not be threatened by the teaching of other points of view. they would have the truth and be secure in that knowledge.

2. what makes you afraid of the intelligent design concept? i do not agree with their label as it opens the door to too many theories as to who started it all but in reality if evolution is true then i.d. can not be a threat.

3. why do all evolutionists have a closed mind to alternative thinking especially in light of the fact that their 'evidence' is so conveniently placed where it can not be observed and verified. at least with i.d. we can view their claims in the here and now and not wait for millions of years to see any change.

4. why do evolutionist resort to personal attacks or attack the credentials of the opposition? if evolution is true, the folly of their opponents would be seen very quickly and dismissed by their own futility in proving their viewpoint.

5. how do the evolutionists know that the earth is older than the i.d. supporters claim? there were no human eyewitnesses at the initial origination who recorded the event so how do they know they found the correct solution?

6. how do evolutionists know they have struck upon the correct interpretation of the evolutionary process? since no one really knows the original conditions nor have evidence of the evolutionary process at work as described, how do they know what they propose is correct? they have no control in which to compare data, they have no process active in the modern age that proceeds along the avenues that is described by evolutionists to provide as evidence to prove their findings so when do they know they have the answer?

they can't go to the fossil record as that is so limited in its scope that all it can prove is that all you have are two stones showing the remains of two animals, there is nothing in the fossil record which can prove the process actually happened.

7. why are evolutionists afraid to take off their rose colored glasses and honestly examine there own theory for intelligence and credibility? i do not care if you want to think you came from nothing but at least propose a theory that has some chance of being proven beyond conjecture, with the evidence having the ability of being observed in modern times, and in action.

Great post!
Of course, you realise that you're now going to be dismissed as yet another Christian fundamentalist by your 'betters'?
