As for the SLC thing, it may have been just good luck, but it actually worked out really well. It was important for the church to be able to grow and establish itself without having anybody else around, who tend to get very annoyed when being told they're going to hell, etc. If they had kept going to the coast, they'd have had an easier time for a bit, but would have been surrounded by people in short order. BY actually handled that one pretty well. |

No, I wasn't offended at all. I was curious as to whether you were making the statement as a matter of fact statement or an opinion statement. My math teachers did love me by the way, it was my best subject. Religion wasn't my best because some people wanted to act like they knew something for sure, when I realized they had no way of knowing for sure. They would say something like, the garden of eden was in Missouri. I would say is that your opinion or are you stating it as fact. They then would say something about 2+2 is 4 and how does my math teacher like me. |

When scientific principles are occasionally instructive concerning religious matters, they don't temporarily become opinions for the duration of the religious conversation. |

Which bring up yet another question: What's your cut-off age for the babies you eat? I've got a one year old that I'm kind of fond of which that might constrain my ability to entertain your sales staff.

Why do you care about what science thinks about pangaea? That conclusion is based on all that icky "evidence" stuff. Not really your thing, eh? Last edited by woot; 12-21-2007 at 06:54 PM. |
