This ridiculous canard has been blown to pieces for weeks,
Sure. I'm sure that in your right-wing world that's quite true. Whatever Rush says. I've already heard the excuses.
and you're going to come out with it as if you had the faintest clue? Like I said, stick to science and keep hiding out in the Ivory Tower Tarski,
Ivory Tower? LOL. Oh how original (Not). Tell me how I am not in the real world Kevin? How so?
Really? Be specific! This Ivory Tower thing is silly BS.
I have two children who do manual labor, a working wife and two grand kids under 6. I watch the television, read the paper, eat at McDonald's, suffer through the O'Reilly factor, watch the usual mainstream movies, talk to my cop son in law and my republican parents. I worked in the defense industry, I eat steak, I camp and hike, and play electric guitar (once semi-professionally). I worked construction for years in my late teens. I read the Bible many times. I lived in other countries for a while. My father worked for the Dept of transportation and my mother made drapes and clothes.
I drank some beer and played some basket ball.
Now where is that Tower?
Is it because I know science and math and I teach it at a university? Is that my tower?
Maybe its because I read about both sides of issues instead of going only to places that side with one party? Is that the sin?
You have everything to lose and nothing to gain by bloviating in ignorance like this.
Yah, I'm an ignorant idiot. You mistake insult for argument.
And you haven't the faintest clue what he taught.
Well, I was brought up steeped in the Bible. I read it many times and pondered the words of Jesus for years. I took Bible classes, read "Jesus the Christ" and I have Catholic wife.
Aren't you just full of it?
I think you have the very same over-confident aggressive style you had back when you were essentially parroting Nibley.
You came around.
You might find there is some more of that "coming around" yet to happen.
By the way, this is my second attempt at an answer. It's much shorter. The first one detailed responses about Palin, Muthee, witches and Todd and AIP. It was so long that when I went to post it I had been logged out. It was all lost. Maybe I'll do it again--but then nothing I say would put a dent in your world view. You know right where to go on the net to get the spin.
when believers want to give their claims more weight, they dress these claims up in scientific terms. When believers want to belittle atheism or secular humanism, they call it a "religion". -Beastie
