  Are you an Epicurean (Christopher Hitchens was)? A great philosophy for many ex-JW.s

  check out this article on wikipaedia to see if you might be an epicurean.

  they are not pleasure-seeking hedonists.. most atheists, agnostics, and deists are epicureans without realising it.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/epicureanism.

  I think the JW's talk against eating drinking and being merry. But the JW's are against a lot of biblical

  teachings.

  Epicurus wrote around 307bce. His philosphy is found in the book of Ecclesiastes written 935 Bce.

  Ever since I have read the bible cover to cover I eat drink and be merry for tomorrow I may die just

  like Solomon said in 935bce and Epicurus nicked in 307 Bce.

  Those were the good old days, small government.

  You got a Ford Station wagon Ambulance.

  Here in Florida if a cat gets stuck in a tree they send out 2 big boxed van ambulances

  a hook and ladder and a pumper. And about 25 city workers.

  No wonder things are so expensive today.

  Evolution of Turtle shells

  you might have read about this over the last day or two, i was going to add this to the "common ancestry" thread, i considered it somewhat off topic as it is more to do with evolutionary transition.. the shells of turtles and tortoises have always been a bit mystery for evolutionery biologists.

  a turtle shell is not a single structure but a complex one made up from the fused bones analogous to the ribs and vertebrae of other vertebrates.

  these bones in effect form a pseudo exoskeleton.

  I guess I woke cofty. He smells this sort of stuff.

  I feel the same way about him as he does about me.

  Just change a few words eg creationist for atheist.

  Thanks for an intersting post cantleave.

  Cofty is becoming a caricature of the willful ignorance of atheist. He doesn't understand the first thing about it but he's for it anyway.

  James Brown, how old do you believe the earth is?

  Did dinosaurs and humans coexist?

  Where there any dinosaurs on the ark?

  How old do I believe the earth is? If I was a college professor and wanted to keep my job I would answer

  4.5 billion years. People that believe the bible think it is less than 10,000 years old.

  There is no easily understood clear cut answer to the question. Both answers require faith and circular

  reasoning which is not scientific.

  From the evidence I see I believe its possible dinosaurs and humans coexisted, they were called dragons.

  If there was an ark.

  I believe there were baby dinosaurs on the ark..

  I am aware of alternate theories for mans origins.

  The radiometric dating methods and circular reasoning is a major flaw.

  If there is/was no god then atheism is the ticket.

  Still there circular dating methods are faulty.

  I guess it's the best the atheist can do.

  Even if I were to embrace atheism I would have to say there is a problem with the dating methods of the earth.

  It might be a correct guess but it is not scientific and repeatable and doesnt stand up to double blind test.

  When you understand the methodology.

  You will understand that you are using circular reasoning.

  I think you are referring to the mis-dating of lava flows due to innaccurate and misleading sampling to a lab undertaking the wrong methodology

  In science isn't that what they call a double blind test?

  The age of the Earth and of fossils is beyond dispute, only ignorant fools like Hovind and Ham and those want believe the myths from a book of fairy tales will say otherwise.

  What you believe and what is verified are two different things.

  Science has already documented and proved they cant date the earth millions of years.

  If you want to believe that delusion have at it.

  I don't believe we have 220 million year old fosils. The only remenants are recent.

  So These newly found fossils are refelected by the developing embryos of modern turtles.

  They are modern turtles less than 10,000 years old.
