    Why? He is a young earth creationist. All I need to know right there.

    Part of being intelligent is also viewing the opposing sides argument. To totally discount that man because he disagrees is foolish.

    Lebron James will never be as good as Michael Jordan, thus we should get rid of his nickname, "The King".

    Funny comment. Again you are wrong. And you are also using someone else's work.

    You are good at being consistently wrong. I understand thermodynamics. I crafted my own argument. You counter by posting a link that nobody's going to click and that's the best argument you can make? What a flipping joke. And, all you can say beyond that is, "funny comment ... you are wrong?" YOU are the flipping joke because you can't engage with anything pithy. Please, just reload your bong and forget about the intellectual stuff you can't hang with.

  • BamaAussie we get it bro, youre an Atheist...and thats fine but if you dont believe in anything why do you feel the need to criticize the ones that do? I dont understand your beef with religion, excuse me Christianity, because I dont see you espousing about other religions. Furthermore I love how you insist that if you believe in God youre an idiot and dont believe in science. I believe in both simply because no matter what the new theory Hawking, Dawkins, Sagin or any of your other heroes come up with they dont disprove God...but maybe thats why youre angry

    Do you ever add anything good to topics, or is it always sarcastic posts?

    Only sarcasm if I can help it.

    As I'm sure you're all aware, today marks the birthdays of 2 of the greatest thinkers of the post-Enlightenment period: Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, and Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator. Just wanted to remind everyone to thank their lucky stars that history produced 2 such extraordinary men.

    The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts. -Charles Darwin

    A house divided against itself cannot stand. -Abraham Lincoln

    Bait post is full of bait.

    Wait, why? Not trying to rustle any jimmies, but prayer requests and birth announcements stay on the RT all the time...

    Because people care about those things regardless of how you or I feel about them. I hate your OP for one reason: you were just trying to make a point. Wether we like or dislike what is considered normal on this board, it's a majority rules situation.

    I could honestly care less about who believes what and probably disagree with most on a lot of topics, but your "look at me, I have a point to make!" Post is just dumb. Poor effort on your part.

    The OP seems to have sparked some reasoned, measured debate that's commonly lacking on BOL. People are being respectful and making their arguments (for the most part). Don't understand why you "hate" my OP.
    I've learned something from zigzag and Gabe both, which was my intent. I apologize if this thread has offended you in some way. Now please stop derailing.

    And there it is, the religious debate. I just wanted a thread where we could unite and show appreciation for two forward-thinkers who helped progress scientific, political, and moral thought well beyond their day and age. No need to interject venom into it, rollmonkey.

    Edit: typo

    I have to call BS on that one!nono

    You started the thread to stir the pot! PERIOD.stir

And in as much as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race." -Honest Abe Lincoln
