REAL evil on Earth #1

Hello All!

In effort to make this blog a public service in addition to the soap box it is for my polemics (tongue firmly in cheek). I've decided to call attention to what I think are the REAL sources and/or evidences of EVIL in our world. Without further ado I give to you the first installment of:

REAL Evil on Earth!

episode #1

This agency of evil on Earth needs to be stopped! This is my list of evidence of evil and malcontent:

• This corporate behemoth wants to be a part of everything in your life very soon you will drive down to the DunkinHomeDepotWalmart to buy your fat laden dough-nuts, your $.99/100 dry wall screws and your corn syrup laden ketchup.
• 
  
• This company STILL uses Styrofoam cups! Are they living in the 70's? Even McDonald's stopped using foam boxes to enclose their food (term used loosely) a long time ago.
• 
  
• The liquid that fills those Styrofoam cups with their ubiquitous logo is NOT, I repeat NOT coffee. I don't know what constitutes that horrible bitter rancid brown liquid but it has never been part of a coffee bean. To bill this substance as coffee is a bald-faced lie and further erodes America's standing in the world.
• 
  
• Get this tid-bit to your advertising agency: Inform the clientèle that it is E-S-PRESSO NOT E-X-PRESSO.
• 
  
• Your cutesy television ads that have the temerity to suggest that Dunkin' Donuts is somehow a replacement for Starbucks are annoying and ignorant. You sell products as different as McDonalds versus Ruth's Chris Steakhouse! Don't pretend otherwise.

There you have it! Evidence of REAL evil on Earth perpetrated by Satan's creation, Dunkin' Donuts.

Bueller...? Bueller...?!

Sure you can criticize evolutionary theory. That's how knowledge is expanded and the theory becomes more refined. However you are going to have to bring something to the table other than 'God done it' or hackneyed and convoluted refutations of evolution written by men without expertise in biology or organic chemistry and with political axes to grind a la Dembski and Meyers.

And FYI Mr. Stein and Mr. Mathis and all you yahoos at the 'DISCO' institute...

Darwinism => Atheism => Racism => Nazism => Holocaust

Is as STUPID and INANE an argument as can possibly be made!

If that's your best 'Big Science' has NOTHING to worry about.

...doubt is a good thing.

A couple of you did see through my little ruse yesterday. In all honesty the conclusions that I listed yesterday are in fact issues that have been satisfactorily answered, (in my opinion Jason!), through naturalistic means. (Sorry if I let the air out that balloon, Deb) .

If you are interested, here are good places to begin answering the conclusions I addressed:

1. http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CC/CC200.html

2. http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CC/CC300.html

3. http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CD/CD010.html

4. http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CE/CE001.html

5. http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CI/CI301.html

These are only a beginning...by all means continue to read and research!

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!!!

Benefit of the doubt...

I've been doing some reading lately. I think I may have been wrong on some of the things I accepted as true with out adequately checking the facts. I have accepted naturalistic scientific theories based upon some suppositions that aren't entirely substantiated. After some careful contemplation and substantial research I have come to the following conclusions:

1. There are no transitional fossils. Evolution predicts a continuum between each fossil organism and its ancestors. Instead, we see systematic gaps in the fossil record.

2. Complex life forms appear suddenly in the Cambrian explosion, with no ancestral fossils.

3. Radiometric dating gives unreliable results.

4. The radioactive decay of several elements produces helium, which migrates to the atmosphere. There is too little helium in the atmosphere to account for the amount that would have been produced in 4.5 billion years. Escape of helium into space is not sufficient to account for the lack.

5. The cosmos is fine-tuned to permit human life. If any of several fundamental constants were only slightly different, life would be impossible.

These conclusions have led me to the accept that I will have to completely reevaluate my world view. I hope you will all be patient with me as I re-work my thoughts and what I accept as true!

Thanks,
Robert

Rules...

The following is an actual conversation:

Ethan: "Papa, don't forget you can't eat meat on Friday."

Me: *Staring quizzically at boy child* "erm, what?"

Ethan: "Yeah! You aren't supposed to eat meat this Friday."

Me: *My brain's department of birthdays/holidays/anniversary's brings a notice to my upper consciousness and understanding dawns on me* "No meat, eh?"

Ethan: "Yep that's the rule."

Me: *never missing an opportunity to make a child of mine think a bit more" "Tell me Ethan, from where did this rule come from?"

Ethan: "Ummm, I dunno. They've been talking about it all week at school."

Me: "Were your teachers saying that?"

Ethan: "No, the other kids were."

Me: "Did they say 'why' it was important to skip meat on this Friday and not next Friday?"

Ethan: "No."

Me: "Ethan, you barely listen to any of the requests your mother and I ask of you. So why would you care so much a bout a rule that kids at school spout to you when you can't tell me the origin of this rule and the necessity for it?"

Ethan: "Well they said it's really important!"

Robert: "Indeed? Well please tell me why."

Ethan: "Well...."

Robert: "Did your teachers say anything about this rule?"

Ethan: "No."

Robert: "Did your mother or I say anything about any such rule?"

Ethan: "No."

Robert: "Do you really think it's important that you follow a 'rule' that some children in your school is important? Yet I, your mother and your teachers have said nothing about it."

Ethan: *looks pensive* "Well what the heck are they talking about then?"

Robert: "Christians refer to this coming Friday as 'Good Friday', certain segments of the Christian tradition feel it necessary to abstain from meat on that day because 'Good Friday' is the day that Jesus Christ was killed. But it's not really a rule, unless you observe that tradition. "

Ethan: *eyes wide* "What would be good about that!?"

Robert: "The reasons for why they call it 'Good' are....complicated... and a very long story, you'll learn more about it soon."

Ethan: "Does this have something to do with God?"

Robert: "You could say that, yes."

Ethan: "Why would God care whether or not I eat meat on Good Friday?"

Robert: *smiling slightly* "I don't know. What do you think?"

Ethan: "I think people can do some weird things for God."

Robert: "Amen, E-man, amen indeed...."

Report: 32% Of Prayers Deflected Off Passing Satellites

HOUSTON—According to an official NASA report released Saturday, nearly 32 percent of all prayers exiting Earth are deflected off satellites orbiting the planet—ultimately preventing the discharged requests for divine intervention from ever making it to the Gates of Heaven. "After impact with the satellite, these diverted prayers typically plummet back into the atmosphere, where they either burn up or eventually land, unanswered, in a body of water," the report read in part. "Of the remaining prayers, research confirms 64 percent fail to make it past the stratosphere because they aren't prayed hard enough, 94 percent of those with enough momentum are swallowed by a super massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, and 43 percent are eaten by birds." The report concluded that, of the 170 billion prayers issued last month, one made it to God, whose reply was intercepted by a hurricane and incorrectly delivered to a Nigerian man who reportedly did not know what to do with his brand-new 'Bowflex' machine. original link

What?! My world is falling apart! Is that why I never got my GI-Joe with the kung-fu grip? Damn you NASA! I would be a devout Roman-Catholic to this day if it weren't for your nefarious plans!

The fairy tale of modern chemistry!

Much like Evolutionary theory, even the well established science of chemistry goes through revision and refinement. This is what science does!
