Cold-blooded reptiles also evolved into warm-blooded mammals,
Cold-blooded into warm-blooded, you realize this is a very complex transition with no support. Unless of course you have something to share?

You want to know how to stop a Creationist dead in his tracks?
Make him explain DINOSAURS!

Wow, Terry with the silver bullet.
Show your not stuck in your tracks while explaining the issue of whether cold blooded reptiles evolved into warm blooded dinosaurs, or cold-blooded dinosaurs evolved into warm blooded birds.

This is a great point, and reminds me of an interesting thought experiment for theist/deists:
'God' is presumed by believers to exist outside of the known universe. God created the universe. In order to create the universe, there must be space to create it in, at a minimum there needs to be as many dimensions as we have in our universe, in order for our universe to be created in this space. And in order to enact the act of creation there must be the potential for change, i.e. time. God needs time in which to create the universe. The question is, who created the space and time, the universe, in which God exists. According to the logic of God-believers, it must be another god. If it's another god, outside of this god's space-time, the same applies again. Ad infinitum.
cool man...
Almost as cool as dead things coming to life..

Outsourced Call Center Frustration
by Bstndance in

2. friends
for the most part i have never had a problem with call centers based in india.

whenever there seemed to be an issue, i chalked it up to a communication issue.

today, however, is a different story.. i booked a trip on delta but my frequent flier account is with continental.

I saw a peice on this from Goodmorning America. They went to a call center in India and there was a giant banner that said " 40 equals 10"
When asked what that meant the tour guy says that the age, 10 is the mentality of a forty year old when trying to walk him through a computer problem. Nice huh.
I think the funny thing when getting India help is the person says there name and its always something like Jim or Bob or someother American sounding name.

"The Wedge" or a wedgie for evolutionist?

"the wedge" or a wedgie for evolutionist?

on a resent thread (the origin-of-life foundation, inc. the secret $1,000,000 prize) the question was asked: why would the origin-of-life foundation, inc. want "to keep the project as quiet as possible within the scientific community"?

Apparently, at least one leading scientist (who led the team that cracked the human genome) disagrees.
Dog,Dog,Dog....dont you realize that no "creationist" will ever be smart enough to be an evolutionist. I mean, its what we have been taught here. So stop questioning it, and creating dissent.

TRUE CHRISTIANS must imitate JESUS the "apostate"
by Terry in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
a simple premise for your consideration .

is a christian required to be a footstep follower of jesus?.

are true christians required to imitate jesus' behavior and state of mind as closely as humanly possible?.
ellderwho

Terry,
4.The early feature of Christianity was the arguments and debates over who and what Jesus was as well as what true teaching was.
IMO your argument begins and ends with that statement.
