Creepier Belief system (1 Viewer)

[Frostillicus]

Come on....we all know that most scientists are atheists, right?

Actually, I don't believe that is the case. There are plenty of scientists that are Christians. I can't prove it but I've heard they're out there.Also, don't we get into this discussion at least once per year? Can we go ahead and save everyone some time and schedule it in advance from here on out?I propose October 1st of each year. Mark it down. I volunteer to bump this thread on that date.

We just missed the five year anniversary.

Legislators reflect the will of the people.  I think larry boy's point did a good job of countering your allegation that, if left to the will of the people, we'd still have slavery and women wouldn't have suffrage.  That's why I gave him the point.

I don't think it did at all. I don't think legislators reflect the will of the people all the time. Mostly because legislators generally are more educated than the people. I think legislators reflect the mood of the people, tempered with an understanding of consequence.

I just went back to read the last page of the gem of a thread to get a reminder of what was being talked about. This little nugget was gold, though. When was Congressional action ever tempered by an understanding of consequence?

Whenever there's a "contribution" or funding for their district/state to be given or withheld.

actually, no... most Creationsists believe that dinosaurs are simply lizards who didn't die for longer periods of time...See, before the flood, things lived longer...lizards NEVER stop growing...If lizards live many TIMES longer, it is reasonable to assume they never stop growing hten either... so they can be MANY times larger....Also, if you look at many modern lizards, they look like mini versions of dinosaurs...Most creationists believe that dinosaurs are modern lizards who lived longer...Also, if Dinosaurs died 100 million years ago...what were dragons?Seriously... How did a dinosaur live 100 million years without dying?If you believe in creation... They just didn't die for a while... they were lizards who lived unusually long and became larger...that's why they find things like giant sea serpants...that's why they describe 2 dinosaur like creatures in Job (1 is a brontosaurus type thing, one is a FLYING FIRE BREATHING SERPANT-type thingie...)... Alos that's why in midieval times they saw things that resembled/were dinosaurs...There is no such thing as a human myth/fable/story that is not based on something that actually happened... everything is based on some truth... we aren't that creative to just make something up out of nohting...Dinosaurs were old lizards who, like ALL lizards, didn't stop growing...

Creationism..  Like there's no dinosaurs, right.  Ever seen ####### Land of the Lost?

There are no dinosaurs. They are extinct. That is part of what most Creationists believe. Darwinists and Creationists have one important thing in common: they come to their final conclusions through a big leap of faith.Creepy? Here's one thing Scientologists believe:

Other than the fact that a Dragon could kick a dinsosaur's non-fire breathing butt
