Bad examples of intelligent design?

by gringojj in

.

i am trying to think about examples of animals that would be bad for the intelligent design theory.

i like to use the ostrich because it has wings but doesnt fly.

hamsterbait

roybat -

I remember (vaguely my brain is another bad example), an Issue of New Scientist that discussed the effect on the brain and ability to stand upright of the "aquatic period" of human evolution.

Something to do with various nutrients found in the shell fish consumed.

Also the vegetarian animals on the plains would have a less difficult time adapting to changes in vegetation.

Homos had to be quick witted to work out new ways of staying alive as the climate changed quickly, they would have to be good at spotting new sources of food not seen before. Lack these skills and you died as a child before you could pass on any DNA.

Do you ever weigh yourself before and after you use the toilet?

by Elsewhere in

.

it can be very entertaining to see how much you, well, "lost".

(it also helps if you have a digital scale that can measure fractions of a pound)

jeannieB:

It is a boy thing to do with size, and that game played in primary school toilets "I can pee further up the wall than you."

BTW colonblow is very expensive when you can buy a great jar of psillium husks at the health food store, and senna at the chemist for a few cents.

Is Intelligent Design self-refuting ?

by hooberus in

.

some critics (here) of intelligent design theories claim that it is "self-refuting" to invoke design and / or complexity, as evidence for an intelligent designer explanation for things such as the origin of life, other complex biological structures, etc.

since this claim comes up somewhat frequently, i thought it should be given its own thread.

Oh you all think you are so clever.

IT IS CHEEKPOUCHES ALL THE WAY DOWN!!!

i posted a few comments from a "friend of a friend" attending the current gilead class a few week back here:.

here is the latest deep spiritual truth emanating from that most august institution.

There was an article several years ago, that said that there are people on earth today and all of them are prophets: Jehovah's Witlesses.

Of course, the GB can now say that we were the presumptuous ones for saying this, not them.

Abit like the 1925 fiasco - they said that if Arnagaeddon didn't come in 1925 it "would be the other fellow who would have to do the explaining, not us"

JW brother stopped by to awfulize about the bombing in London

by homesteader in

friends

my brother who is a jw (who i helped into the religion when i was a dub) came to my house this morning this morning while we were having breakfast.

the first thing out of his mouth was the bombing in london and how this is the worst bombing since ww11.

then he made the comment "i wonder what this is going to lead to.

hamsterbait

Englshman,

Awfulize is a very good new coined word that captures exactly what she means.

This is a continuation of a great tradition. Why do you think english has such a huge vocabulary?

William Shakespeare made up many words which are now accepted as part of the language. I can' t SHARK UP any examples right now.

Your reaction smacks of snobbery.

Who is "bloody Nora"?

sex offenders pictures to be put in newspapers

by candidlynuts in

hamsterbait

What if YOU resemble the bad picture printed in a news paper?

Your neighbours turn against you, then you are hounded, humiliated and possibly arson-attacked for something others now think you have done.

I read of a case where an innocent man only shared the name of a paedo, and his life became such hell after his name was published he committed suicide.

If these sex offenders know their names wil be published wherever they go, then the whole paedo community will close ranks and protect each other making it even harder to bring the now anonymous offenders to justice. No one will know where they are.

The monitoring of the internet has just made these ones resort to good old paper and envelopes to share their filth, because mail cannot be opened and monitored.

Of course we could go the way of muslim countries and when they are caught offer them the choice of being pulled into the air in a noose by a crane, or having a wall pulled down over them.

One good thing about JWs message: millions of paedos now living will die.

Does ANYONE exercise control like the Dubs?

by upside/down in

think about it...in what area of life does anyone do what they do...?

i'm talking meddling in your "personal" matters, inviting you to the "backroom" (wtf?

), discussing how you've "stumbled" someone, tell you you're not doing enough, dictate your clothes, your speech, want to know "why" you weren't at the meeting or fs, need to know the "intimacies" of marriage...to keep the congo clean..., label everyone either "weak" or "a pillar", want to know if you "beat your meat"...(but beating your kids is ok)..., have you been having impure thoughts, help you choose a "spiritual" (ugly) mate, why you bought a (gasp) 2-door car, whether you attended the meetings while on "vacation", turned down that scholarship to "pioneer"...actually got us to sell everything and move to timbuktu and stay.... .

I hear that there are clubs in Amsterdam where even your breathing is controlled.

But at least those who frequent these places were not coerced into entering with tales of being happy in paradise with bears, cubs, sheep, wolves, chickens - OMG!! Maybe they were?

ps grissom,

Were you pope Alexander's architect? Did he even give you a job interview? Were you even alive in Pope Alexander's lifetime?

If you can answer 'yes' to any of these questions you are either

1 A LIAR (like Satan)

2 Deluded (like most JWs)

3 Not fit to be a scientific interpreter of evidence of any type.

Loving you

Agape'

Grissom - HONEY:

In case I said it in long words: I was talking about Luke 21: 8 and those who say "The due time has approached".

I did not talk about the scoffers you discuss. The fact that you start to rage about a completely different subject and hope we will not notice brands you as still in Witnessspeak.

Account for the words of Christ and don't start mentioning Peters words until you have done so.

(NO SATISFYING ANSWER WILL BE FORTHCOMING JUST MORE FEAR BASED BILE AND VITRIOL, AND YES THE "ANSWER" WILL BE A DIVERSION AWAY FROM THE QUESTION YET AGAIN)

of course we saw the programme where Jarasz when trapped on the child rape issue said: "I have answered your question and it should be to your satisfaction"

grissom thinks like Jarasz.
