Ahhh, the false dichotomy rears its ugly head. On what logic would disproving Evolution (if it were disproven, but I am quite sure every claim made in such a comic could be just as reasonably refuted by science) PROVE Young-Earth Creationism? Or ANY Creationism? There are many more ideas or theories about the origin of life and mankind... Creationism is not proven by discrediting Evolution.
oy, vey.
AAAUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. :(
Thank you for posting this. I am actually doing a project right now on why Creationism should not be taught in schools... this might come in handy in discussing Creationist propaganda.
sigh.

awhile back, i read one of those pages with questions to ask jws.
one question was something to the effect of: "can someone be saved by just reading the bible?
" -- and the page said the bible says that this is true, but (obviously) witnesses teach the obvious.
Thanks, all ...
I wasn't asking for personal fulfillment... lol. Was just trying to think of flaws within the logic my in-laws spew at me (the whole, you HAVE to be a part of the Organization to live forever, etc)... For some reason I thought there was something more explicit in the Bible saying this was incorrect.
Thanks for the responses! ;)

didn't she work in the clinton white house?
tells you something about government employees, especially democratic ones!
i wondered if she sabotoged the white house keyboards when the clintonista's departed?
And she's getting a book deal!! Geeeeez, wish I could be a big *itch, lie, scam people, and make oodles of dough off a sob-story novel. grrrr.

what are some of the worst songs you've ever heard?
here's a list of mine: .
the memory remains - metallica.
That stupid song that won all the Grammy's... "Hey Ya" or whatever. Whenever I listen to it, all I can think is, "our generation is in trouble if this is the 'best music'."
To each their own, I know. :)

i recently gave up studying with the witnesses after they told me off for going sailing with my family!

Welcome! -- and congrats on making a wise choice.
hi everyone, glad to be here.

Just wanted to give a big ole WELCOME!

ok putting religious reasoning aside what is a rational reason why humans are viewed worth more than higher animals?
why is a human worth more than lets say a chimp, a pig or a cow?.
neurophysiological studies show that animals suffer probably just as much as humans....but similar to little children they cannot understand the pain and express it as human adults can.
I am a vegetarian.
... ehhhh I was going to type a long thing, but now I don't feel like it, so I'll leave it at that. ;)

its time we stop persecuting plant, by george!
plants have feelings too, only unlike dogs and cats, they cannot even growl, moan or whimper!
why for that matter, a poor helpless little plant can't even run away in fear ... they are forced to stand there as wicked humans - probably capitalists - pluck them up from their roots just to eat them - yuck!

LOL - That is funny. I'm glad it says "parody page" at the bottom... otherwise I would be scared.
