It's as simple as that. It really is. 100% true. Unless of course the IDer manifests itself and verifies its work. A bit of a leap there as far as the Islamic thing. I see it as a group of people who are not secure in their faith and are essentially looking for justifcation for maintaining and validation of that faith. You know, come to think of it, I take that back - the "bit of a leap" part. Especially in America. I initally mis-read "reverse the process of human advancement" as something other that what I thought you were meaning. But you're correct. Just look at the religious right having the audacity to attempt to impose Christian values upon secular people. There is no New Testament directive (unlike in Islam) to do so. Gays want to marry? So what? Can't see how that affects a Christian personally? Doesn't affect me in the least. Etc., etc. Anyway, as a Christian, I enjoy reading about evolution, cosmology, and astromony and physics. Watch many of the shows on PBS that deal with such subjetcs such as NOVA. Visit websites about it especially the current Mars missions and the latest finds. So what if at the end of the day I look at it all as God's creation. In my mind, it doesn't discredit the often galant work that many have undertaken to understand our existence.
You clearly have never tried to type fast. When many non professionals type, they say the word under their breath. they do not spell the word out. If this were important to me I would type in word or word perfect, edit my comments. Run a spell check and read it again. I am not the only person who has trouble with a firefox browser and edite their comments on this type of chat board. I am getting he impression it may have something to do with the settings I have selected.
well I cant do that but I will give you a link to the introduction. http://www.twbookmark.com/books/28/0316155799/chapter_excerpt22014.html
Love is the answer - but while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty interesting questions.
And, why, exactly can't you quote me from paragraph 2 of page 39? I doubt that you've memorized Susskind's book, word for word, yet you quote it so easily. And now, when I ask you to quote a specific passage, you can't do it. How very strange...
FYI, on the window where you type in your post, there are three buttons in the same row, where you click "Submit Reply" in your Firefox browser (I always use Firefox). Next to "Submit Reply" is "Preview Reply." Next to "Preview Reply" is "Check Spelling." ET's spellchecker works pretty well, AFAIK. Don't tell me you never saw those buttons. BTW, your Word or Wordperfect spellcheckers won't catch "plane English" as misspelled words. Plane English is a legit phrase. It means the language you speak on a plane (as in airplane).
Great to see you admit your assertions are indigestible waste material, with your appeal to the expertise of another on such matters. Normally, I would have expected a cat like you to be much more defensive and argumentative... Nice to see you not objecting when someone points out the odoriferous nature of your assertions...
Sorry... not working. You thought 'plain' was spelled 'P-L-A-N-E'. That's it. Nothing to do with typing too fast. When people see me typing, their eyes bug out of their head, and they say 'WTF?? How did you learn to type so fast??'. The reason I can type so fast is that my spelling is really good. I notice you didn't address the issue about your statements that you are a lawyer.
Do, you mean that, like jem, you also don't know what it says at page 39 paragraph 2, of Susskind's book. Why that is absolutely startling! How is it possible that a person who is constantly quoting a particular book as the foundation of his argument about what the cosmological constant and string theory mean to the author of that book, suddenly, when asked, admits that he cannot quote from a particular page and paragraph of that very same book? Elementary my dear Watson. Because, like you, jem doesn't own the book! All jem knows about what Susskind says in the book is what jem has extracted out of context from the Internet. Otherwise, he would have been able to quote from the passage I requested (which, by the way, was entirely at random -- I could give a shit what it actually said at page 39, paragraph 2). And, it's no good that jem runs out and immediately purchases the book to cover his ass, now, because he's been quoting from the book as if he's owned it, continuously for over a month in this thread. So, unless, just today, only minutes before I requested that he quote that particular passage from the book, he suddenly loaned it out, returned it to the library, dropped it in a puddle of water, etc., then jem has obviously never read Susskind's book, and he really has no clue about what it says, at page 39, or at any other page. BTW, just so you know that I "do" own the book, page 39, paragraph 2 begins: "The photon also can move from one space-time point to another." And jem calls "me" a "first-class liar."
