That's right... Z doesn't believe you. Why? Because it's the easiest way for him to preserve his world view. After all, what would happen if he had to actually engage you in debate? Disaster. You challenge him, therefore you are a pseudo-intellectual. Telling people that they should support the integration of ID theories into school curricula because 'he thinks it's a reasonable idea" and because "you can't disprove it" and "because Pat Buchanan likes the idea" hasn't worked out. He has been challenged by Christians and non-Christians, by theists and atheists. His next move? To start abusing everyone who posts here. Now... why isn't that a surprise?
Naturally, you speak and understand hebrew , farsi, ancient loatian, tibetan dialects, aramaic, Mandarin in ancient and modern forms, gaelic- irish and scottish dialects, ancient flemish, AND naturally LATIN. I never claimed to be an intellectual, a theoligan, a physicist,but im an enthustiastic amateur in various fields, and naturally i would bow to your remarkable intellect, IF YOU would ANSWER questions for a change. Humpty Z sat on a wall.......
Hang on, "translations, well there you go" Are you suggesting, no interpretation of any foreign language text(much less ancient language text) is in fact VALID??!!!!! Omg, new testament, all religious texts, having been altered overwhelmingly by nasty, nasty and malevolent monks and scholars, have become "well there you go" testament to MISINTERPRETATION?? This is diabolical. where will it all end???
acronym... you are forgetting. Z is under no compulsion to answer questions about his suggestion that ID be integrated into school curricula, or any other aspect of his pronouncements. He specifically said in this thread
Oh, i forgot. It never entered my mind, that z hadnt actually read all of darwins work, not just origin of species, which btw left lots of room for ID, quantum physics, common sense and the like. The origin of species is not darwins most important or relevant work, in terms of evolution. Can anyone tell me, what was the darwinian work that tied his theories together.....ZZ? Alas, i remain a psuedo intellectual, not being fluent in latin, farsi, gaelic forms, any ancient or modern languages at all really. Fortunately, Z is, and is clearly a scholar and thinker of da vincian proportions.
The answer may be written between the lines of this post by ZZZ... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=57141&perpage=6&pagenumber=17 JohnnyK
Are lifespans becoming optional? Here's an immortality device: http://www.alexchiu.com/eternallife/ Just Google "Immortality". Also, in Ascended Master terminology, immortality is a given, whereas bodily immortality corresponds with the elusive "ascension" of folkloric fame...and that we are all capable of achieving it. In fact, it is our destiny...according to such sources. Disbelief in our abilities is one reason we do not exercise such options.

You are suggesting Z is depressed , and posting for the heck of it, to releive some addiction or disorder, johnyK? I feel ive discovered the secret, the answer to Zs obfuscation. He got whacked on some serious gear at some point, read a book on sufism, and just aint been the same since. What other works did darwin writeZ, given your propensity to assume stuff. Oh, your probably looking it up now, well let us know by all means. You were taught 100% darwinism? Darwin was never 100% sure, which is why it was a theory, and when alls said and done, the reason he wasnt locked up for years or executed by the religious zealots of the day. Sufism, it explains a lot people. Check it out people, and you will see the hallmarks and similiarities to Zs posts, and you may begin to understand.
That seems to be what Z's post implies...and all else seems to support that theory. Methinks there is/was a woman involved. There is a certain "high" in getting attention on forums such as this...and some of us will do or say just about anything to get it...even if we have to contradict ourselves or argue in circles. The most telling insight into Z is when he is examining other people at the ad hominum level. Most ad hominum args are mirror-based. Z's examinations of people like Rearden Metal give me the right to examine him. A couple of times I'll actually agree with his statements, but I think he prefers controversy for the opiate effect it offers. That said, I would not wish depression on my worst enemy, and honor whatever method keeps people happy, except the destruction of other people. JohnnyK
