Creation vs. Evolution

[adza]

Out of curiosity - are their any other threads here at SB that have gone the same length as this one (269 pages todate)?

One of the defense intelligence analysts, who is an expert in Islam stated it pretty clearly:

"The radical Islamists belive they will rule the world tomorrow, the moderates are willing to wait until next week."

Why do people not believe this?

Do they really think our experts devote entire careers to making things sound worse than they are?

Might want to review Ollie North's replies to Ted Kennedy...fairly prophetic.

Actually....yes! :rofl:

At the very least there is often a huge difference between what American "experts" think....and what everyone else's "experts" think. More than that, ALL of the "experts" can be wrong...and often are.

Maybe people don't believe because the evidence of the past doesn't engender much reason to!

"oh there he goes again..."

please Kim, not that one. WMD? I never heard it that way. Besides, both sides agreed anyway. See? I can read your mind now.

Seriously, have you ever listened to the old questioning of Ollie North by congress? He pretty much laid things out. Osama, etc, etc.

hey...where is the lightening bolt in here?

It is kinda eerie being able to speak freely---I am scared.

Actually Catherine it's not any one particular issue...pick any hot button one you want...poverty, birth control, AIDS, global warming, the Middle East, etc etc. Is there a consensus by the "experts" on any of them? Has anyone actually ever been right and anything ever got fixed?

I promise you Catherine....you have NO idea how truly focused my mind is!

 

[Cacia]

So...why are we allowed to converse all of a sudden?

focus on that and see if I can read it.

Because we're behaving ourselves and playing nice and no one's complaining.

Because we're behaving ourselves and playing nice and no one's complaining.

Would be my take on it as well. That's only one view though....you never know!

Anyway....what's wrong with talking about "experts"?

 

[Cacia]

Well, an interesting question would be...aside from your outstanding intellect, what things have contributed to your world view?

I find it helpful to try and be objective about that sometimes....with myself, of course.
