Isn't that the scienciest thread you've ever seen? So much science there, I have to take notes. What morons were we, thinking these folks were really just creationists!

It would be a lot funnier if Edgar used Gary's thread for his ID stuff.

Please give GG posting rights to Mr ID's thread.

Gary ran out of steam a long time ago. And Postrado, unlike Gary, can form comprehensible sentences. The Postrado thread is going to wind up being better than Gary's thread ever could be, except to those connoisseurs of interesting word usement structuring.

They all have their "merits", but for my money no one beats AfDave's combination of wrong about everything, sure he's never wrong about anything, just keeps tilting at that windmill. One word: "Portuguese".

How could we forget AFDave's fevered IMAGINARY numbers?

Indeed. Classic stuff.

First AFDave posted a scatterplot and then expounded upon it.








JohnF helpfully found and posted the original graph, before AFDave's...creative alterations...





And then Steve helped Dave out a bit:



Man, that was hysterical.

Hi daveS!

No spoiler alert here. It’s a one-night-only Fathom Event this Thursday at 7 p.m. at a theater near you. I think you’d enjoy it, no? And Dave, just fyi, Krauss said on our program (as Nasa does, etc.) that it’s the Big Bang’s predictions that have confirmed the theory, so we’ve become somewhat expert on that topic. If you Google: big bang predictions, of over a million relevant pages, our article at kgov is ranked #1 with a rather stunning rundown of the theory’s actual failed predictions. Likewise, try Googling: evidence against the big bang. (We’re trying to corner the market on those two search terms :) )


is this the actual, TOTALLY fucking demented Bob Enyart?

Mercer didn't target Xians at Umpqua CC, according to others:

Quote
Despite reports to the contrary, McGowan said Mercer didn’t appear to target Christians in particular. “He didn’t really, honestly,” McGowan said in a quiet voice.


Quote
“Obviously he was asking what religion, but he wasn’t really just targeting. He was kind of just saying, ‘Oh, since you have a God, you’ll be joining him in a little bit,’” McGowan told The News.

“It wasn’t really like, ‘I’m targeting you and I’m going to kill you.’”

I'm...I'm confused, could KF and BA77 be wrong, acting out a martyr complex (I'm not sure what the truth is yet, but why should anyone credit the first rumors out of a murder scene?)?  Will I have to quit believing everything they write about miracles and the resurrection?

Well, it's no more idiotic than asking if it's strange that the names of the days of our week (on the calendar, no less) are based on gods that supposedly didn't exist.*

Unfortunately, it's also no less idiotic.

*Btw, who on these forums is questioning whether or not Jesus existed?

It predates zero.

The anno domini dating convention started around the 6th century.  Zero wasn't widely used in Europe for another few hundred years.

To me that doesn't warrant a question, the Jesus of the biblical myth was and is a myth.

But there may back then well have been a myriad of would-be Jesuses, in addition to characters sharing some of the characteristics of a Jesus.

But the resurrection definitely is a myth. A study of the biblical text shows that the resurrection was not a real event.

You finally got one right, PZ. This IS how you will lose.

Even totally united behind Gore in 2000 and Kerry in 2004 you couldn't beat a dumbass draft dodging reborn alcoholic George "Shrub" Bush and his snake-oil sidekick Dick Cheney of all people. That's pretty pathetic. This round you've got an even worse candidate that half of your own party thinks stole the nomination by cheating and dirty politics. Your party is shattered up the middle and you have the worst candidate in all the decades I've been paying attention. I knew Jack Kennedy and your nominee, PZ, is no Jack Kennedy.

Now the culture war is still on, the players are all the same on both sides, except this time we have an honest-to-God centrist war hero, even if he is an elitist beltway insider, and a little unheard of cutie, obviously a political savant, who in 30 minutes won the hearts and minds of every heretofore apathetic God fearing blue collar flyover family all across the nation and made them start caring about who wins this election not to mention is stealing a lot of the Hillary voters who wanted nothing more than a woman in the Whitehouse. If McCain wins then Palin, sooner or later, is going to become the first woman president of the United States as by the time she's up for election to the top spot there won't be any question of lack of experience. You are basically looking at teh American Margaret Thatcher. Get used to her. She's going to be in your face for the next 16 years. It's all over except for the tears and anger from your side that you were fucked yet again. Write that down.

Damn I miss Davetard! Who knew he knew JFK? That would mean, if he was say for example the same age as Dan Quayle, Davetard would have been sixteen years old when JFK met his end in front of the grassy knoll. These questions immediately spring to mind; When was Davetard asking JFK how many sugars he wanted in his coffee? Could JFK's limo, actually containing JFK, have really been driven through Davetard's drive-through? Davetard is certainly no Dan Quayle but for howlers he's a close second. Who the fuck is Palin?
