i've not been on this site for awhile now.
and i haven't posted in several years.
at times i'll pull up jwd and read a little bit.
AGuest was the lady who claimed to hear Jesus talking to her and gained a lot of followers - mostly other women who wished Jesus would talk to them too. When challenged to she turned out to be a maliciously vindictive woman.
She started her own forum for her band of disciples called EXJWs for Christ or something like that. Outlaw left and became moderator of her forum.
The other black transvestite was as mad as a box of frogs. Basically another attention seeker. Can't remember his name.
i find it funny how many people want to broad cast their religion on fb then whine whine when others critique it.
its like the ny times saying no one has a right to criticize its oped.
don't put it on the world wide web if you don't want others opinion on it.
JY - You appear to be making an assumption that all Christians are fundamentalists.
What about all the millions of believers who accept the findings of biblical scholarship and of science?
Do you think religion might have some utility even if it's not objectively true?

I'm thinking 16 year old home schooled.
Blue - your conflation of science and morality is irrational. There are scientists who believe passionately in the truth of scripture and who reject all the same morals that you object to, but who still accept the fact of evolution. Then there are creationists who have deplorable personal morals.
The two things are completely unconnected.
My offer stands. Simply reply to my personal message any time. Even if it's in a few years time when you finally grow a pair.

You dont sound like you've read or checked what i posted before so why would i talk anymore to you. - blue
I have. I am thoroughly familiar with Michael Behe, Stephen Meyer, William Demsky and all the other charlatans at The Discovery Institute.
That is why I offered to have a respectful conversation with you about the facts. I am more than ready to discuss the claims of the Intelligent Design movement including the ones involving specified complexity, irreducible complexity and information.
I doubt if there is a single objection to evolution or a single argument in favour of a designer that I have not investigated previously.
I remain ready to hold a respectful and detailed conversation with you. I have more than 23,000 posts in this forum and I have never knowingly failed to reply to a reasonable argument against my position once. Please don't be yet another hit-and-run creationist who runs away screaming when they are challenged to back up their assertions. We both know you are not a science teacher so let's drop that charade.
In your own words 'have a pair of balls' and let's engage in a rational debate.
in recent months i have noticed more and more people on the net (including here) are using this latest perversion of the english language -.
"i would of done this..........or he would of tried to change things".
it's would've - short for would have!.
It's right to allow for casual or colloquial use of language in appropriate circumstances.
My concern is that so many people have not got a clue how to use language correctly when they need to.
I agree with the poster above who identified lack of reading as the problem. I think there has also been a neglect of basic education in schools. There has to be lessons where being correct is more important than expressing yourself.
https://jwstudies.com/_the_origin_of_life_-_fails_to_deliver.pdf .
So I was correct. You have never read a single textbook that presents the scientific evidence for evolution.
What an absolute car crash of a response.
I have to be honest if you are a science teacher then that is just incredible that you found employment.
I would be very happy to have a respectful conversation with you specifically about the fact of biological evolution. I think you have done enough harm to Doug's thread already so I propose starting a new one.
Please let me know if you accept the invitation and I will post an OP this evening.
At this point I want to point out one obvious misconception that you present above. Evolution is not about atheism.
The vast majority of Christians accept the fact of evolution. Many scientists who research and teach evolution are evangelical Christians.
Accepting the fact of evolution does not commit somebody to favouring any moral position.
https://jwstudies.com/_the_origin_of_life_-_fails_to_deliver.pdf .
Oh I see you are a full blooded no apologies creationist who resorts to the most facile of ' arguments' but who claims to be a teacher of science.
Your poor poor students!
I will read your posts later and get back to you. In the mean time please tell me which books that present the scientific evidence for evolution you have studied recently?
I'm predicting the answer is none and that you will evade the question.
the old creation book had a lot to say about the fossil record.
if i remember correctly it was some lie about all the fossils ever found would fit on a single table.
the reality is that there is an embarrassment of riches illustrating the evolution of life.
i do it most years.
being in the uk, virtually every other country nearby drives on the right.
we drive on the left.
After all, it was an accident for goodness sake! - BB
Yes and a boy is dead. She should have submitted to the British courts where no doubt she would have been dealt with leniently. It is VERY unlikely she would have done any time in prison at all. The parents said at the time that they understood it was an accident and they were not looking for revenge. But when a life is taken there is a process that must be followed so that justice is seen to be done. You don't get to decide - the British courts do.
Running home and hiding behind immunity is despicable and cowardly. Now she cannot travel anywhere in the EU without being arrested. She needs to put this right.

I teach meteorology and geography but even kids with down syndrome will understand its stupid
Really? I assumed from your first post that you were about 13 years old.
So let's have a conversation about it then deepblue.
Let me begin - Life began approximately 3.8 million years ago. Probably in deep sea vents
Eukaryotic cells came into being approximately 2 billion years ago as a result of an endosymbiotic event
Life diverged through unguided evolution
99.9% of all species that have ever lived have since gone extinct.
Modern humans appeared approximately 100,000 years ago descended from common ancestors of modern primates.
As a geography teacher you agree with all of these points don't you?
So what specifically is your problem with the OP?
