Hi Dodge, Yes, I'm still around.

I actually take a quick look every now and then to see if someone might post something of interest. In years past, I have learned so much off factnet but now I...

easeltine, Here are some old and newer examples:

Beginning after the Civil War, members of the Protestant-led Ku Klux Klan organization began engaging in arson, beatings, cross burning,...

Hi Dodge,
Been too busy to be part of these discussions. I do understand that there are groups out there that truly believe easeltine’s allegation. I spent some time going to weekly church services...

easeltine,

Thank you for posting a link to the actual document but, I wonder if you actually read the introduction?

"Investigating Terrorism and Criminal Extremism—Terms and Concepts" states,...

Hi Dodge, hope all is well with the weather you have experienced this past year.

Somehow, I would have thought that the Bonobo would have been a closer relative than the Chimp. What I personally...

Hi Dodge, Have you ever looked at the similarities between humans and bonobos? The comparisons you always hear about are with chimps or gorillas and I almost never hear about bonobos. Where on the...

"WHAT A BUZZKILL! CLIMATE CHANGE COULD EVENTUALLY END COFFEE PRODUCTION"

That does it, the end is near for sure!

It is all about taxes and benefits, nothing else.

My take on this whole conversation:

I don’t think any rational educated person could come up with anything contrary to the prevailing thought that the earth is warming and that the warming is due...

Maybe people have a different work ethic in your part of the country but I would like to think that isn't the case. I had a look at your profile but didn't see where you are from. My real guess is...

Turtle,
It is pretty difficult trying to follow your logic. But it sounds to me like you are angry at those that are in need.

I have volunteered in food pantries numerous times. My deceased...

Turtle, are you joking about this? I think that you are the first person anywhere in the world that dismissed this storm as a little rain and snow.

Actually, the STEP prayer study is quite applicable. There is no decent scientific proof that intercessory prayer works. If one believes that creation should be studied in a science class, then one...

Dodge, yes, it is very difficult following the logic.

Turtle,
Have you ever heard of the “Therapeutic Effects of Intercessory Prayer (STEP)” studies? One of the few properly designed studies...

This is your hypothesis????? What is the question that will be answered when you test your hypothesis? And how will you test your hypothesis?

A hypothesis statement should be in format that can...

Turtle, I have to preface that I do consider myself Christian. But this is based on faith, not provable fact. How does testing for truth and using logical thinking tempt God?

For hundreds of...

This is why I asked turtle to give a testable hypothesis acceptable to the traditional scientific method. If one can’t do that, the topic doesn’t belong in a science curriculum.

What testable...

If creationism (Bible) were taught as a science class, it might end up being a disaster for any religion that used it as a basis for their belief. It might mean that beliefs generated from the Bible...

I think I acidentally clicked on the comedy channel.

Well, I guess that proves there is no minimum intellegance required to run for an elected office. He does get a lot of press. It will be interesting to see how much support he gets in the actual...

I have learned that anything could be sold if you could figure out a way to connect it to the bible, or maybe simply put a cross on it. I saw high priced sea salt, high priced ($20 for 10 oz.)...

Turtle,
One would never guess you had no problem combining evolution with creationism. It really is somewhat dificult to follow your statements but I thought you said evolution was the teaching of...

Turtle,
There are numerous Christians that believe God started the evolutionary process. Believing in evolution does not by itself make one an atheist. True, an atheist will not believe in...

It is really difficult trying to follow what you are saying. However, I have yet to see a public elementary school teaching either creation or evolution in the early grades. I have never seen the...

Turtle, you can’t defend creation with an atheist by quoting Genesis. My belief is that Genesis has to be interpreted metaphorically. Literally, it doesn’t make sense. According to Genesis 1, the...
