It is all a bit tedious - people with half-baked ideas, others who proceed with unshakeable faith, some who try and dress it up with flawed 'science' and all the rest of it. It is all toe-curlingly earnest - people posting up snippets of information that they have learnt form disreputable sources and then not fully understood.... and all this being seriously presented as the answer to the greatest question in the Unverse (along with a healthy yet truly geekish sense of conspiracy theories, and Da Vinci Code-style stupidity)

And, before you react - I know that I didn't have to enter the thread or post anything. I know that I do not know any of the answers to these questions. I also know that one fo the primary manifestations of religious fascism is a lack of a sense of irony or humour.

Sorry - but you did ask.



You think I don't sense irony or humor? I sense it just fine, you're just not very funny. I am not offended by anyones comments in this discussion. I think it is very ironic and actually moronic for people to claim they have facts which they have never verified, but accept by faith, then poke fun of others who admit they only have faith.

It's not me getting my panties in a bunch, you and missy, and fenster, throw the 2 sentence snide and insulting comments around. It's a discussion that I would rather spend time on than another prime for prime tyson vs superman. You know that after reading here for awhile you get those out of your system, and you don't get involved in those anymore. I just haven't gotten this one out yet.

By the way as far as conspiracies..... Why is it that people are so high minded about them? Insider trading goes on all the time, many of these things can be easily proven, yet as long as it's labeled a "conspiracy" it's laughed off.

The federal reserve act of 1913 was REALLY voted in on Dec. 23rd, 1913 while almost all of the people who SHOULD have been voting were home on holiday vacation. It was really a conspiracy where the minority that supported it waited until everyone left, called an "emergency" session, and voted it in unaninamously. Check up on it, it isn't a "theory". It is verifiable and proveable, therefore not a theory. Evolution IS a theory cause it's not verifiable or testable and definitely not proven. Hence the name "theory". Translation is fairytale.... But people get pissed off defending there fairytale, and want to mock my fairytale, by calling there's "science". It's not. Same argument over and over. I am not trying to force anyone to believe my faith, but don't promote yours as being proven cause we are both on equal ground. And any one who doesn't understand that has been LIED to.
