Totally off-topic but this morning as I was walking into work a police van with a tannoy attached to the roof drew up outside the maths department and counted up to five. Was this some bizarre mathematical taunt?

It's Joe, with a Largest Known Number progress report.

I think it means they lost the instructions to the holy hand grenade of Antioch and are about to snuff it.

It looks like they finally found it this morning

Apparently it had set out with a YEC companion from Mexico in a small boat over a year ago, heading for El Salva-cordova. The companion slipped overboard many months earlier and the remaining conservacastawayapedia only managed to survive by drinking the gullibility of home schooled children and eating his own words.

So when pressed on specification, UD's death spiral:

1) We've done the maths.
2) Ahem, we haven't, but it doesn't matter. DESIGN!
3) You first!!!

Clive sighting! (I think, if so Hi Clive!).
Check out this paragraph:
 
Quote
Actually I agree that much of the Old Testament in an allegory. This is pretty standard doctrine. The Jews are an image of the church. The sacrifice of the lamb foreshadows the sacrifice of the Christ. That being said, they are an allegory that actually lived and breathed. Jesus was referred to as a “Second Adam” in that he was beginning a new people. Be that as it may, there is no sense that Jesus looked at the old testament as an allegory only. He spoke of it as actual history. And he should know, he was there.

Great stuff - it starts with a statement, and then it somehow turns right back on itself, resolving to argumentum ad kenham.

Edited: OK, probably not the original moderator Clive.

I want to see YOUR evidence for the abrupt transitions between small Precambrian shellies and trilobites.

Where are those IDists hiding?  Christmas is over.  Give us your data NOW!

A new player by the name of "origin_surgeon" has appeared at UD.  Looks like they'll be fitting in just fine:

Quote
No serious biologist would deny that Homo Sapiens have 46 Chromosomes and the great apes have 48. However, to say this is ‘proof’ of common descent is completely misleading, because to believe that 46-48 chromosomes of close human to apes relationship as ancestry would mean that potatoes,Tobacco and gray tree frogs are direct descents as well for they also have 48 chromosomes.

UD has a commentary on the Nye-Ham debate. You will like this passage:

Quote
Also, Nye harped quite a bit on the number of species, but he seemed to misunderstand his own calculation. His number (16 million I think) of species are based off of the total number of species anywhere – including bacteria, fungus, molds, plants, single-celled organisms, fish, etc (it is also an *estimate*, not an actual count). The number of species on the ark is based on the total number of land-based animals and birds. I don’t remember exactly what the present number of species is for land-based animals, but it is a much more reasonable number (I think there is an average that each ark-kind has only diversified into 8-10 species in total).


8-10 species. Right.

Querius:

Quote
On weekends, I spend time with some guys that have recently come out of prison, helping them adjust to being out.

One of them spent 18 years in prison, the other 12 years between county jail and prison. Going in, they were violent drug and alcohol abusers, and the first was also a drug dealer.

In prison, they accepted Christ, immersed themselves in the Word of God, and have changed dramatically! They are kind, loving, hard working, and dependable guys deeply ashamed of their histories and grateful for the smallest blessing or kindness. I’m humbled by them, trust them more than many other people I know, and honored to have them as friends.

Their personal relationships with God through the power of Jesus Christ has had an amazing effect on their relationships, values, and their lives. They tell me that phonies and hypocrites are quickly exposed in prison.


link

I want to comment on this because it is personal. I knew a guy who became Christian in prison. Everyone on our street, very few of them Christians (as this is middle class London) knew what he had done but they were pleasant to him and prepared to give him a chance to show he had turned over a new leaf. He found work as a painter and decorator.

He was actively involved in his Church, and I do not doubt that he found purpose and acceptance there. Unfortunately, it was not enough, as he eventually committed suicide.

It is unlikely that this story is rare. I would expect to find that ex-criminals who have been in prison are far more likely to both become Christian and kill themselves.

It's an epically dishonest argument which serves to completely sidestep the issue of osmosis, not to mention what the herbivores ate after getting off the ark.

Not to mention which of the people on the ark had all those parasites.

Or are parasites tools of satan and therefore evolve more quickly?  Or is satan also a designer?  Man, this is more complicated than I thought.
