I wonder if creations terrier is Oolon having a bit of a spoof on us. His E-mail is "Darwins Terrier..." Hmmm

Now, there's a thought.

Oolon deleted a post right after one of mine where I'd laid a little trap for CT (it was the 'Catholic pirate Cortez' bit. I was hoping to be corrected with: Cortez was a 'conquistador', not a common pirate. Oh, such a rant I was going to lay down!

Did I almost catch Oolon?

Hey, a near miss on Oolon is ever so much better than closing the jaws shut tightly on an amature like CT.

Oolon friend, did you taste my bait?

As the Librarian would say:
Oook.

Doov, don't flatter yourself about the quality of any sock puppet you might do. I gather it's damned difficult to find logical ways to argue the illogical. Apparently.

I'd have thought 'pirate' was simply a derogatory way of putting it, not meant as an accurate description. Anyway, many pirates did their best plundering etc on land, so the term could be applied to Cortez.

What Creationists fail to do, apart from use their common sense, is to take any account of the circumstances in which Genesis was written.
For instance,they believes the transparent nonsense of a god creating light before creating the sun and stars, but can’t be bothered to think out why such a thing might have been stated by the originators of this Bronze-age myth.
When the story was first being told, O Creationists, there was no reason to think that the sun was the source of daylight: at the latitude of Palestine the sky begins to lighten before there’s any sign of the sun, and it remains light after the sun has set. And, as everywhere, when the sun is hidden by clouds, the daylight remains.
The sun, then, was regarded as some kind of ornament of the day, and we see this view reflected in much ancient writings.
The myth-makers responsible for Genesis were in a state of ignorance, and their ignorance is taken by the Creationists as divine revelation.
Did these Bronze-age myth-makers know that the Earth is a spinning orb and that we get day and night because it spins?
Well, did they? And if they didn’t, why didn’t god tell them in his Biblical revelations?
(Actually I'm not sure I wåant an answer to that; it'll just give me a headache.)

Depends on the fairy. Some may be angels; some may be demons. Many are probably delusions or hoaxes. But are you claiming that all sightings throughout history are false?! So tell me, o skeptics: why do you even trust your own senses?

My senses have proved to be trustworthy for lo, these many years, thank you. Odd, is it not, how rare it is for someone that is not a believer, doper, or a heavy drinker to see ghosts, demons, fairies, elves, bunyips, prophcy in the tea leaves, space alians, and so forth. Indeed, the only angels I've ever been aquainted with are Hell's.

I'm sure we'd all be interested in any hard evidence you could produce as to the existance of such things.

The only thing you find hard is belief.

The fairies are utterly convincing, but I'm not sure about that girl in the background.... She looks like a cut-and-paste job to me
