Another example of a man-made species is the gold fish. Although it is domesticated from the crucian carp, the gold fish is sufficiently different now that it is considered a separate species. http://www.aquarticles.com/articles/ponds/Pearce_Common_Goldfishhtml.htm

I guess then it would take unusual intelligence to ask someone about his son in Iraq and not to expect a discussion of Iraq. You guys really are amazing. Do you always rationalize your bad trades this way? :D

I'd cut Webb some slack because he's a former marine. All soldiers are like that (no insults intended). Even if Webb did have a "wise ass tone," Bush as the president was not supposed to retort back "That's not what I was asking." That was not just "wise ass tone." That was plain rude and...

Why do you not think the sentence, "I'd like to get them out of Iraq, Mr. President," respectful? And where in the world is the sentence, "That's not what I asked you," not considered rude?

Alright, I stand corrected: Bush insults a marine This is not the first time that I have to explain it to you slowwwwwly... But I'll do it for you. Compare the two sets of conversations: 1. President: Hi! How's your boy in Iraq? Webb: We're thinking of him everyday. We hope to...

And where is the outrage? http://thehill.com/thehill/export/TheHill/News/UndertheDome/112906.html At a private reception held at the White House with newly elected lawmakers shortly after the election, Bush asked Webb how his son, a Marine lance corporal serving in Iraq, was doing. Webb...

Where was it (the thought)? I didn't see any. You were touting the fact that you listened to "liberal media." Didn't seem to reflect much thought going on.

After He made the world, Hananim was lonely, so He decided to make people to keep Him company. He took some clay from the earth and formed it into a man, then He baked it until it was done. But the first attempt was a failure; it was overcooked and burnt black. So Hananim tried again, and this...

I don't know where this Arthur C. Brooks guy got his education. It's probably not a very good one. Look at some of his works prior to this book: http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/index.php?page=article&Article_ID=1987 "# Some 54 percent of nondrinkers contribute to charity each year, giving an...

The staffers could handle the Hammer, but not his replacement. http://chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/4341776.html http://chron.com/disp/story.mpl/editorial/4341192.html "The turmoil in newly elected Rep. Shelley Sekula-Gibbs' office deepened Thursday with the Houston Republican demanding a...

Wonderful! You just denied the justification for entire science. Science never has complete data nor complete theory. Whenever something is declared "complete," it becomes a dogma and no longer a science. I guess that's the real difference between ID and science.

You use as much data as available to verify your theory. You check to see if the predictions made by theory agree with the data. If they don't agree, you try to find out what is wrong with the theory (or sometimes, the data can be wrong too). In no way ignorant chance is a conclusion. Just...

Actually, no. You have six numbers on a dice. Throw it a thousand times, how many times do you expect to see 1's? A sane person would say about 167. In reality, you could go as high as 200 or low as 130. If you see 400 1's, you should start to suspect that the dice is doctored. OTOH, if you...

Random mutations by design? "Ignorant chance" by design?

You're ignorant. That's not speculative. Random mutations is not speculative and has been confirmed by many studies. Here is one example of such a study: http://www.genetics.org/cgi/content/abstract/148/4/1667 "Rates of Spontaneous Mutation John W. Drakea, Brian Charlesworthb, Deborah...

First of all, I don't know why you're such a fan of Steven Weinberg. Do you know what he did to get his Nobel Prize? It was not about AP or multiverse. I don't see the connection between Weinberg's discussion of cosmological constant and ID. Can you educate us on why there is a connection? I...

Here is a little known history about the Korean war - the withdraw of Chinese troops from North Korea in 1958. This can help us understand the delicate situation today between US, China, and NK. In 1956, after Stalin's death, Kruschev led a campaign within the Soviet Communist Party against...

Are you trying to tell us that the spiritual universe doesn't exist?
