So, you are aware of the long term effects of methane exposure.

I assume that you asked this because you incorrectly believe that the USDA only works with cows?

Ah, no.



But assumption is your best friend, because reason is not.

Exhibit A : A fossilised dinosaur skeleton. (I can't be arsed to post the image, you've seen it) This IS conclusive proof that such a creature existed. No other evidence is required.

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Well he can do that all he likes but he'll be wrong.

Living in a county with 2,000 people and half a million cows, I am quite familiar with methane exposure Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit

SCIENCE

Put the fairy tales down and read some real science.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

Quote orogenicman:
I can't "prove" that you exist either, but I'd be naive to argue from ignorance that you don't.

Statler Wrote:
That you would, but arguing against the existence of God however is even more absurd than arguing against my existence.

Me:
The problem with that argument is that:

1) Atheists don't argue against the existence of God. They argue against any emperic evidence for the existence of God.
2) There is emperic evidence that you exist.
Statler Wrote:I would agree with you, but induction deals with degrees of probability, when I use the word proof I am usually referring to deduction. A person couldn’t formulate a sound deductive argument for the existence of dinosaurs, and yet many of these same people ask for one concerning the existence of God.

No, we are asking for an inductive argument concerning the existence of God. Got anything like that?

There certainly are good inductive arguments for the existence of dinosaurs. It is when creationists use deductive reasoning to argue anything gleened from inductive evidence that they are led astray. Hence we find that there are creationists who believe that the Flintstones is a documentary. Thinking

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
