I have a collection of coral inherited from my dad and obtained by him when he lived in Bahrain and Egypt - I want to go check it out now but it is packed away

It was his age that threw me, not to mention his taste in British prog rock.

Save the coral for a rainy day......

and this is interesting- to me anyway- the rest of you can sod off

Finally, let’s go back to that curious dog. He could have barked or not. He didn’t. One way to look at that is to say, as the inspector does, he did nothing at all. But the other is to say, as Holmes does, that’s not true. He did something. He actively chose not to bark. The result of the two lines of reasoning is identical: a silent dog. But the implications are diametrically opposed: passively doing nothing, or actively doing something.

oh- and this

Sherif noted the two groups spent a lot of time talking about how dumb and uncouth the other side was. They called them names, lots of names, and they seemed to be preoccupied every night with defining the essence of their enemies. Sherif was fascinated by this display. The two groups needed the other side to be inferior once the competition for limited resources became a factor, so they began defining them as such. It strengthened their identity to assume the identity of the enemy was a far cry from their own. Everything they learned about the other side became an example of how not to be, and if they did happen to see similarities they tended to be ignored.

Very crisp & clean.
I look forward to Ken Ham and the Twatican's considered responses.
Fuck it - no I don't.

However, because evolutionary facts are thought to step on the toes of modern religious interpretations of life’s diversity (that all humans came from the interbreeding of a family generated from a rib bone, for example)...

They say that the simulation would take 570 years on a personal computer. I've already done it in my bathtub, and I did it when I was six years old!

Quite frankly I'm disgusted at the title of this thread, it's much like a thread entitled bad religion

Me too, the word "good" just makes me vomit and the word "science" causes my boner to droop. When you put those words together, I vomit all over my limp dick.

Hmm. I think you might have finally made a coherent point here, Jerry.

Congratulations.

I mean, "good" is inherently implied when we define something as being confirmed by scientific means. "Bad" science is, basically, not science at all. The fact that it's bad negates its value as anything scientific.

As for "good" religion, well, I don't, personally, see the value in permanently wedding one's self to suppositions that can't be tested but, of course, there are many others who do claim to see the value in it. I guess those folks abhor an unsolved mystery.
