Whada ya got against newbies? in General

I'd be more worried about TM, myself.

Apollyon: Nobody has anything against you, or newbies. A lot of newbies, however, don't stick around and have the grammar and language skills of remedial 3 year olds.

Creationists (and fundies in general), however, do tend to get a harder time fighting the corner, mainly because the overwhelming majority of those who can debate here are left-wing, intelligent atheists/agnostics/loose Christians. I wouldn't say that creationists are 'persecuted', but you'll have a harder time coming up with decent arguments.

For myself, I'm glad to have a newbie who seems to have reasoning skills above that of a five year old.

What are YOU doing for Christmas? in General

Ok, let's get nitpicking about this.

It says in Genesis that God created the Earth and the heavens at the *same* *time* (on the first day). This disregards the Big Bang and the scientific view of the creation of the world (created from the debris of a much larger planet).
The chances of the Genesis writers being right about the basic physics, however, is not mathematically significant.The blackness of space looks like just what it is - a huge void, so it's only commen sense that they'd think it's uninhabitable.
In the end, it's not me that has to justify the argument - since you are providing the theory, you have to justify it. Genesis writers being right about a few things is so insignifcant in terms of probability that it is an argument that could be knocked down with ease by a good statistician with a nice calculator.
However, I do feel this line of argument could get rather messy and spoil the spirit of Christmas. If you'd like to continue this on AIM, great - it's been ages since I've debated with an intelligent fundie. I'm morganwild32 .

If not, I'm not totally opposed to ruining the spirit of Christmas.

.......is that *all* you've got?

Your view of evolution is so simplistic it blows my mind away. You're right about only one thing - we *didn't* come from monkeys, we simply share a common ancestory.

The writers of Genesis wrote the story of the creation of the world in the logical way it would happen. I'm afraid you are wrong on a monumental way if you believe that the way it happens in the Bible is the way it happened in real life. First off, the earth and the stars did not come first. The earth and most of the stars we see today have only been around for a fraction of the universe's existance.
Also light certainly came way, WAY, before the Earth existed. I'm no scientist, but I know that the story of Genesis does not match scientific explanations.

This reminds me of another story I heard that tried to prove Creationism. There was an Israeli scientist, an amazing mathematican, who searched the Bible for hidden skip codes (words that appear if you skip every so many letters).
He found hundreds. He found names of various Rabbis and the dates they were born and for a while, it looked like conclusive proof for Creationism.

Then another guy ran Moby Dick through the same computer program, and was able to predict John F. Kennedy's death. If you search hard enough, you find proof for anything. Creationists are so hell bent on proving themselves right, they kinda miss the point.

I'm not so sure you Americans are definitely consigned to another four years of moronic rule. If this had happened next November, then that would definitely be the case.
However, Saddam's capture is unlikely to deter the resistance in Iraq (far more likely to infuriate them, as it did with Saddam's sons killing), which, while bad for global stability and world peace, is good for getting George Bush out of the White House.

I am perfectly capable of disagreeing with Alec without it becoming a flame war, Weedy. His post put an end to all possible debate so where would a flame war arise?

I'm afraid, Bates, that you'll need an RP license to start an RP. You have to prove a number of things - spelling, grammar, writing skill and most importantly of all, the ability to have the word "Master" put before your name without people sniggering.

I find that seedless melons are the best for newcomers to the area - seeds can really detract from your enjoyment if you don't know what you're doing.
To the experts amoung us, Honeydew melons work exceptionally well (for me, personally). There's really something to get your (proverbial) teeth into there.

I'm not a smoker, but I have no problem whatsoever with others that do (most of my friends have smoked at one time or another, many still do).
I think the dangers of passive smoking have been greatly overrated. I don't support the banning of smoking in public areas (I support the idea of giving smokers special areas). Smokers have an addiction, and it's not going to be helped by anti-tobacco lobbies hounding them day and night.
