We may never know.  Smart money is "by land and water".  Mostly since we don't have wings.

My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".

I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9

I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!

When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!

I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.

... piss off the neighbours.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I suppose I don't know the answer to this yet: Are you a YEC, Haipule?
No! I'm not a YEC! I may be stupid but not insane. Don't ask my wife as that is unfair. And, what are you drinking? In my thread, "Science, the Bible and Satan" I established through Hebrew syntax that "Young Earth" is stupid and not biblical.

I don't have a problem with plate tectonics! I had a problem with "super continent" as a beginning. Which beginning was taught to me in school. Seems they missed a few bits back then.

I didn't think you were a young earth creationist, but it's always a good idea to check. It does seem someone "missed a few bits" when you were in school, whether it was you or them, who knows?

I admire that when something puzzles you come out and ask in the most hilarious way possible. You've made me belly laugh quite a few times with your posts--sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. Regardless, I'm glad you're here.

Even if you are "missing a few bits..."

Every circus needs clowns.  Wink
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

However, I'm not giving up on the pseudo-science "Expanding Earth Theory" just yet.


Expanding earth is so far beyond the realm of the scientifically plausible you would not sound even slightly more ridiculous if you were heard to leave the door open for flat earth, the spaghetti monster or that the moon being made of blue cheese.

Ah, my favorite argument for existence of god

[Image: GWZeDRbD_o.jpg]
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

It seems American schooling misses quite a few bits out that most countries get as standard. I don't know why they'd do that.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

RE: Super Continent
American schoolchildren miss quite a bit, is all.  The system we have is actually one of the most impressive systems of public education in the world.  You cant really talk about public education at the institutional level...either in praise or criticism, without some reference to a success or failure of the american system.

We -invented- highschools as the world knows them, ffs..lol.
