  just thought i'd start a thread about what i've been up to recently.

  any comments and suggestions are welcome.. so here goes .... i'm interested in enrolling for a master's degree and i've almost completed it.

  i just need one more reference, plus i need to sort out the finances.. i'd been claiming universal credit for 2 years after graduating from uni.

  Well done on your degree. What was the subject? Your degree is an asset you need to make it work for you now.

  Make a plan. If you can get a career you enjoy life will be good. Use Snare&Racket as inspiration.

  Even if you could draw a straight line from Darwin to Hitler that would not make evolution untrue, it would just make it an inconvenient truth.

  Family Insists on Having Relationship with My Child -_-

  hi gang, i'm a single mother of an 8 month old baby boy.

  i've been df'd for over six years now.

  my parents are super dubs and most of my siblings are dubs (on paper - a couple have been inactive my entire life but still claim to believe) with the exception of a brother who was never baptized.

  "As long as your desire to have a relationship with my child is contingent on my absence, you will not have a relationship with him. I'm not allowing him to be taught that I'm to be treated as less than for any reason, biblical or otherwise. I am open, as I always have been, to developing a loving, respectful, harmonious relationship so that you can show him by example that I am to be loved and respected. He will not be exposed to anything else."

  Perfect!

  so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.

  i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

  i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

  Thanks Searill. The question of origins is interesting. I suspect that when we know the answer for sure we will find that life is as inevitable as a rock rolling down a hill. Jeremy England is doing interesting work on this from the perspective of physics and entropy.

  Fisherman why don't you do a little research before spouting lies?

  Do you enjoy being ignorant of the facts? Are you never embarrassed to make a public display of your ignorance?

  I could describe the fossil evidence for the evolution of the phylum Chordata but what's the point? You have never read anything useful in your life - your not going to start now are you?

  Do your own research - here are some key terms..

  Jawless fish; hagfishes; Heterostracans; lampreys; Osteostracans; Anaspids; Placoderms; Cartilaginous fish; Acanthodians.

  Cofty, is there any chance you could you put your series into a PDF and upload it somewhere? It would be really useful to have it as a single document. - Splash

  Interesting idea. I will look into that.

  Anthony Flew was senile. William Dembski and Jonathan Wells have no such excuse.

  Stop cherry-picking out of context quotes from the internet and read some actual books.
