Doubt it, not their lingo. Sounds like evangelicals to me.

I was just curious how much negative feedback that post would get

Mr. Blonde · 12-02-2010, 10:59 PM

We generally don't feed the trolls, especially when it comes to religion.

Unfortunately, BDH is not a troll. Which is why he doesn't come around much anymore.

Repugnant Abomination · 12-02-2010, 11:35 PM

Where you're from, how you came to nubblies, what sort of things you find attractive in a man, etc...

heurisdick · 12-03-2010, 12:00 AM

Well for one, I drive a Cavalier to compensate for my huge cock. I'm from Northern California, I came to Nubblies via formal invitation, and the most attractive quality a man can have would be a smooth taint

Repugnant Abomination · 12-03-2010, 12:03 AM

Who invited you? Also, where in Northern California? I myself am from Southern Oregon. Perhaps we've met? Just two strangers, passing in the night.

heurisdick · 12-03-2010, 12:27 AM

Due to the Patriot Act, I'm afraid I cannot reveal who invited me. But the best chance of us meeting would be if you'd ever been to the Jackson Rancheria. It's just east of Sacramento. I worked there for 2 years

Ironic Mustache · 12-03-2010, 12:34 AM

Interesting... You've now become the closest member in proximity to me thus far. Jackson Rancheria is like 45 minutes away.

heurisdick · 12-03-2010, 12:44 AM

Soooo we actually may have met

Repugnant Abomination · 12-03-2010, 12:45 AM

Get a room.

Don't go there.

I'm sooo down...NOT!

Ironic Mustache · 12-03-2010, 01:12 AM

I've worked at like 10 places I still live near you asshole. Not all of us are running from something.

If you kind of cross your eyes and try to look "through" the picture, you can literally see a picture of a guy with a bug out bag peeing himself.

I hate Answers in Genesis so much. Did God make pathogenic viruses?

EDIT: It's Ken Ham who owns those places, not Ray Comfort. One is Australian and one is from New Zealand and they both have pretty much the exact same doctrines. I applied the correction.

Posted this in response:

Just read it. That article was basically an overview of how viruses work and an attempt to cast doubt on evolutionary theory. I find it amusing how he cites lack of evidence for certain evolutionary propositions, yet goes on to state:

"Evidence is accumulating to suggest that most or all harmful viruses and bacteria are mutated forms of non-pathogens."

Overall, this wasn't nearly as bad of an article as I presumed it would be, but it comes down to a question of false premises more than anything. He doesn't necessarily argue for creationism here, nor does he argue (as seen above) against evolution very much. It seems to address the part of the question below:

"whose ***sole function*** seems to be to cause disease and suffering"

It took me finishing the article to realize those 2 words alone were the problem with this proposed argument. The fact of the matter is, anybody with a decent knowledge of evolution and biology KNOWS that viruses aren't simply microscopic, evil, human killing machines set out to make our lives miserable, they obviously serve other purposes. Namely, evolutionary ones. The developed the way they did and currently exist to serve their own purposes of survival and reproduction, and more recent evidence is showing that they indeed did seem to have a crucial impact on the development of human life ( 8% of human DNA comes from viruses: Evolutionary surprise: Eight percent of human genetic material comes from a virus )

So, it's settled then: Viruses sole purposes are not to cause disease and suffering in humans.

Who says believers and those who weren't blessed with belief can't get along?

Response, I don't even know why I bother:

Sam, you impress me with your strength of character to follow your own convictions and your courage to talk boldly about your beliefs. I think that it is great that you are investigating faith and attempting to find concrete reasons for your beliefs.
I do not claim to know all the answers, but I do encourage you to continue investigating both sides of the argument for a creator.
And yes, we can totally get along!!!

"both sides"

Creation Museum Creators to build Noah's Ark Themed Amusement Park, complete with a giant ark.

This immediately affects me, seeing as though I live less than an hour away from the Creation Museum, and this new amusement park, assuming it gets built. Thing is, I'm not sure if there's anything I can do aside from writing letters to government officials, which probably won't do any good in the first place, let alone that I live on the Indiana side of the river. I can't even protest on the highway that leads to the Creation Museum or the museum itself, because the police won't allow it. The fucking museum's security guards have nicer vehicles than the police, with their own police canine's. Seriously, they troll the entrances and the parking lot for bombs and drugs while you're there.

I hate this place, and I don't have access to quality explosives.
