Weird. \\Yep, I remember Annabel had like 400 posts and seebs had around 70000, and it looks like everyone is missing some posts...
ja, sorry about that. That was a result of me copying this thread in order to try and split off those posts. however, the size of this fucker is too big... so the copies were deleted after the server couldn't handle the load. what you had was actually an inflated post count, not your real one.

Damn! My post count went WAY down.

OMG, I'm practically a newbie again.

This is a big ass thread huh? But very useful.

I could have sworn I watched my post count grow correctly, And I know Annabel had more than 175 posts, I mean we have been here a year or more, I don't mind being chopped back down to 100 posts, can you do that? I'll be a newbie again.

And seebs is like a speed typist, so I would think his post count was accurate.

Do you think this thread should be retired and a new one made to reduce server load? I think Smilin is the crowned king of thread making, I am not sure he would create such a monster.

no, i can't do that as a mod, they won't give me the power. but what you have there is what you should have.

i don't think it will make terribly much difference to server load if you simply start a new thread, unless we wanted to split, copy, merge etc. which I'm not going to try again now We are going to have a new server sometime in the near future though. and, as a person, not speaking as a mod, i think you should set up your own MSN group or something where you are free to speak about whatever you like and not have to conform to II fora rules or topic areas.

But this thread has aided II in obtaining more members and is the hottest item around I think, even if it is tabloid like in nature. LOL

But we like it here, we love II (I do at least, and I'm sure the others would agree), we don't wanna leave.

Why not just delete and start a new thread? Where else will you find a bunch of Christians gathering about their persecution, cussing like sailors and acting like infidels!! LOL

I'm not saying leave by any means, goodness no. although i would love it if you people were to participate outside of this safe thread. I'm sure GRD and EoG is just hankering for a nice theological debate.

We also don't delete threads at II.

I do, I debate in the EoG threads, thats where the bulk of MY posts come from, I don't participate as much as I used to, but I will again, it's just that I am severly outnumbered by infidels! Sheesh, youd think this was like a secular board or something.

I gotta go to bed, I can't even spell simple words correctly tonight, goodnight.

Even though I personally would be skeptical, doesn't mean I wouldn't find it informative.

Ju'iblex, sorry, we will stay on topic, I have 37 sources to refute mfaber, but we should save that for the science forum, eh mf?
Start at thread in the Science and Skepticism forum where you post:

1. Your list of any of the science in my essay that is "speculative" All of it is the result of 40 years of research in embryology and genetics, there is NO doubt that development happens as I have described it, but I await your defense of what you claim to be "speculative". I want you to give me an itemized list, NOT just some vague crap about "speculative science". EXACTLY what parts of the genetics and embryological development are "speculative"?

2. Your sources that you claim refute the rock-solid physical evidence. (your 37 source should be relevant to the topic and not just some desparate cut-n-paste job of irrevlevant BS).

You started out as a female. Accept it.

I'll pass...

I'd last about 3 minutes there as well.


Besides, I'm sure God has a sense of humor when he allows
people to make statements that Evolution amounts to mixing a rock with a fish to obtain a bird.

I'm sure he busted out laughing as hard as I did when that was insenuated to me.
