shimrod - round an round we go. we both have a faith position since you cling to unproven theories and ideas lacking any evidence whatever. I at least have a creator to posit

Well now, pete, "you at least have a creator to posit". My, pete, "posit". Helluva clever word there! Unfortunately, your accommodation of this pretentious word points even more sharply than ever to your total idiocy. The irony of the above quote (irony lamentably unrecognised by you, of course) is that there is no such thing as an unproven theory, that coupled with the obstinate fact that your "posited creator" (Jesus, I wonder how he'd feel about your saying that if he actually existed!) is totally without evidence. The trouble with you, pete, is that you know nothing about science and nothing about religion. Two minutes with any one of the Pope/Archbishop of Canterbury/Dalai Lama/the Chief Rabbi/any Ayatollah/Mother friggin' Teresa and each and every one of 'em would tell you to piss off. And quite right too. It's high time you toddled off (permanently, preferably) and examined your conscience. Hows about starting with "I'm an incredibly thick, lazy bastard who disses honest and hard-working scientists because some wanker on some creationist website tells me to." Once you've sorted that out, perhaps you'll get off your knees and start to think for yourself.
