“Every thought and action pre-determined by genetics” (which is not in any way true, but whatever), is somehow bad, but every thought and action pre-determined by God is a-okay.

*confused*

I find that religious people should not attempt to logically defend their position, because it is quite frankly impossible for them to do so. As long as they stick with “I just believe in God”, then alright. It’s when you have them making pretty flimsy strawmen out of scientific concepts they obviously know very little about that it starts to become irritating.

the bird is the word

How do you make it so you can quote previous people’s comments and indent and fade them? Thanks

Replace the ] and [ with > and < respectivelty.

But you notice me butter eater.

Yes, I do, Joe. It’s hard not to notice the dribbling nose picker sitting in the corner.

Well that was a nice proletarian evening; fish and chips plus beer at a neighbour’s house while the kids went nuts in the pool..

Hurf Durf – my comment was directed more at Rex W.

With Joe90 I agree: dealing with his brain (and I use the word “brain” only in the most basic sense of twitching nerve fibers), one is reminded of the old saying All hope abandon ye who enter here.

Palin will run for president ‘if there is no one else’ – Dom 30/10/2010

Surely the republicans can find one in their number with an IQ over 90 that can make themselves available to save the Americans from having to endure this woman’s campaigning. She pretty much single handedly white anted the last campaign and is largely responsible for Obama being in power. If she is the best the republicans can produce then Obama is a shoe in next time around as well.

ChTh..so you have bought the muslim lie and swallowed it whole..how sad ..These theories have been discredited on numerous occasions by numerous experts…Islam is trying to rewrite history..Did you hear the one about how they discovered America..oh and they were in Aussie before any Europeans..No doubt we will hear the same thing soon about NZ.

@Transmogrifier at 10:13pm: And Scientists that attempt philosophy without any training can come a cropper too. Dawkins springs to mind. And you too quickly make assumptions:

is somehow bad, but every thought and action pre-determined by God is a-okay.

Both those ideas in your sentence were never argued.
