To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

PREDICTION:  It's not going to discourage the Creationists.

Would a victory for Creationists discourage Darwinists?  Signs point to "no"
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Victories for creationists tend to come through things such as inquisitions and legal trials based on stupid laws, so I agree, probably not.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Assuming all things are equal and for what ever reason evidence is found supporting a creationist view.  Don't ask me what kind of evidence, I have no idea.  Unicorn horns or Dinosaurs frozen in Siberia or what ever.

If they found fossil Rabbits in the Pre-Cambrian then they prove Evolution wrong. Biologists all agree.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Hey, you don't think I'm a whacky creationist/Intelligent designer type of guy? Darwin's my homey.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Show me an undisputably pre-cambrian rabbit and I'll suck Kent Hovind's dick on a conjugal visit.

It doesn't have to be an either or competition.

As a future history teacher, you need to explain that sentence of yours.

Seriously.

Seriously.

Anyone who's cared to pay attention these last six years would know that I believe in both, though I don't see how my belief in evolution or God would come in a history class.

But if I was teaching anthropology or archaeology my personal religious beliefs would not come into the class room.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.
