The "teeth" were classic. I hope somebody saved those posts. Are his forums open? And forget that idiot Harun Yahaya (?) who had to shut down his forums for the same reason. And ICR doesn't let non-creationists posts either. More seriously, it is a grim foretaste of what will happen when the Fundies finally get control.

*If*, Vork. *If*. We will have somewhat to say about it.

Oh, and welcome, Pete. We can tell you really aren't a creationist- your spelling's too good.

Petreley's Teeth Thread

It starts out with this:

Here's an example of a prediction based on information from the Bible. The lifespan of people before the flood was up to and above 900 years. Even if you eliminate cavities, our teeth tend to wear down, rot, or break over a period of about 100 years. If God designed us to live up to 900 years or more, one would expect that God would have either designed our teeth to be stronger or designed us to get new teeth.

As it turns out, people who live well past the age of 100 DO actually get a new set of teeth. Some people even get them as young as their 80s.

So the prediction is confirmed by the evidence.

I actually believe there is some validity to the above.

And ends with this:

No, your argument is that the first egg has to form and then sit there and wait until the girl hits puberty.

No no no -- I got that wrong.

Your argument is that ALL THE EGGS HER BODY WILL EVER PRODUCE IN HER ENTIRE LIFETIME have to be in some partial state of formation when she's a baby, otherwise she'll never form them.

It's amazing what a little bit of arrogence and ignorance can produce!

My great grandmother got a third set of teeth.

My Dad, and his father before him, had a third set of teeth. Of course, they were mounted in plastic... but that made them easier to clean: an obvious adaptation.

check out JCSM forums recently

two of the worst spellers, etc I've ever seen.

Had to explain the concept of spaces, paragraphs, and grammar to one of them (He still doesn't understand how to use the quote system... I think he thinks it's there to make him not have to use copy and paste from different posts)

"sics" everywhere when they're quoted. (so, so many spelling mistakes. Clear proof that religion and lack of education are extremely closely related)

Well,I am still wondering about the truth of evolution.However,there are no creationists here to convince me that they are right.

I hope I am not doomed forever,because they are too afraid to come here.

I'm not sure.Maybe a good creationist could convince me,by coming here.

Oolon Colluphid · 01-28-2003, 08:57 AM

Oops.

I guess my evil indoctrination into the theory of evolution also endowed me with the ability to "proofread" and "correct my mistakes".

And thank you for the welcome, although I have been a lurker for a little while.
