Oh boy. You really need to stay away from talking “science.” Or that or get yourself a legitimate scientific education.
How about this: https://www.biologyonline.com/dictionar ... production

Re: BYP Responds to Elder Bednar - It is Inappropriate to Ask Questions on the Sabbath After the Sacrament

Let’s see… the clarion call of the Flat Earth Society? They are hardly inside-the-box-only thinkers I had in mind… Of course not. That’s because your thinking is illogical and you don’t realize that what you sound like to others is nothing like the image you apparently have built up in your mind. T...

Thanks.
I am so glad it resonated with you. Some people might have felt insulted to be compared with vain psycho-babbling. But, not you. If the shoe fits...

Re: BYP Responds to Elder Bednar - It is Inappropriate to Ask Questions on the Sabbath After the Sacrament

IT should probably also be noted that by far most crackpot ideas or fanstsies proved to be nothing more than crackpot ideas and fantasies. So...there's hardly any reason to think the next crackpot idea will, or any one in particular, will turn into some great breakthrough. Your statement could very...

Re: BYP Responds to Elder Bednar - It is Inappropriate to Ask Questions on the Sabbath After the Sacrament

These days I tend not to get involved in the kinds of discussions on the Book of Abraham you linked to because they tend to lean heavily, if not exclusively, on the puny arms of flesh, and as such they completely ignore and even distract from the spiritual purpose for which the Book of Abraham was ...

Re: Prominent critics who have joined the church

Its worse than that. Here is a quote from Wenglund’s website… https://web.archive.org/web/20041216173721/http://www.aros.net/~wenglund/sad.htm Wade, you are not making it into the Celestial Kingdom. Classifying things according sexual attraction disorders is quite different than classifying things ...

Re: Prominent critics who have joined the church

People taking offence where none should legitimately be taken…. No, that’s wrong. It is legitimately offensive that you define homosexuality as a disorder. You are demonstrably incorrect. It is no more offensive than correctly defining the following as disorders: dyslexia, webbed toes, anxiety, ast...

Re: Tyler Livingston--Former FAIR Stalwart--Has Left the Church

Very eloquently said, Wade. It’s a pity that more prominent apologists—like Daniel Peterson and the FAIR Mormon leadership—lack your honesty and introspection. It’s no wonder that you wound up going your separate ways. You may not understand this, but members who are inclined to defend the faith ca...
