Glad you (someone else) mentioned this. I have made the same argument but ... since it came from me it was disregarded as usual. This is not profound, just same simple facts delivered by a different messenger. None should have been necessary …

I don't remember ever caring about what color the sky is enough to disregard an opinion on it.

 

Well said, besides the court has already made this a moot point as far as reason is concerned. We are just going to have to wait a little longer for reality to sink in to the ‘faithful only’, or just let them regress further into their mystical caves where they feel secure and safe from reality.

You are the one who brought it up so why should it mean anything to you???

If ignorance of the facts makes them responsible then you would be right (but wrong) then. The 'church' on the other hand knew just as little but they capitalized on the uneducated and swore it was the wrath of god which of course it wasn't. As far as I can see, this pitiful rejection of things we do know is still the mainstay of the biblical realists who cannot even Google a mouse. As far as I am concerned, politics as practiced IN America is as close to the dogmatic bigotry of the monotheistic religions as to be one with them.

I am not sure we have agreed at anything yet. Besides in reality Einstein only disproved some of Descartes push-physics, adding to Newton's theories and expanding them to include new information. The math was unavailable so it was the best we could do at the time. There is nothing wrong with Newton’s theory of gravity but as in all real things, we learn more every day and then we update our information base. What we don’t do is sit around memorizing a bible waiting for shit to come to us, as if. Maybe if you could explain what you mean or want, I wouldn’t have to guess?

Oh this is as silly as can be. I do not even know what you are trying to do but this line by line nonsense will not do. I don’t dismiss much of merit but see no point in discussing nonsense. If you want to view the world around you in more than three dimensions then by all means do so. This post is not about rocket science or the cutting edge of science. It is about idiots who believe the world to be 5012 years old, hardly the cutting edge of anything.
