    Nice sarcasm.product of the weak mind
    good luck with the cset exam just hope you dont push your pseudo science on your students.
    Sorry if i didnt have my spell check on.and i am not the best writer pardon me for that.
    As far as teen speak lol thats a good one considering how religion treats everyone like scared little children,and sometimes you have to try to speak simple for simple people.dont take this as an insult just the way it seems. As far as my grammar yup its not the best but you still can read it cant you?
    again sorry if you cant or if its to difficult to read then i apologize.
    This is such a tired drawn out thread . been beaten like a dead horse here and all over the net if you still wish to engage then go ahead,if you want answers read a book but please read a book thats offers science not pseudo-science.
    oh look no capitalizing. I said nothing bad about you personally yet,but you attack me . talk about acting like an adult
    ah yes please o wise one tell us in your "god" speak how the wonderful yahweh or whatever god ,deity, goddess, supernatural omnimpotent being , creator ,intelligent designer(because everything is so intelligently designed)who made the universe and the earth all for us .because he cares ,cares so much the we should worship and pray to it.
    And then i can tell you about bigfoot , loch ness monsters and unicorns and fairies.but now you will probably tell us some pseudo science on how science is wrong and your science is right with out any evidence to prove so .. so here we go ..enjoy.Sounds like from your previous posts that you have never read any of the books that argue against your position.
    I will not continue on this its just not worth it to me.i did say in the beginning i was a lurker on this forum just to check out cigars i did decide to post on this thread because it is a subject i enjoy, but i will not get into a screaming match with someone who will never change his or her mind.So i will go back to lurking here or maybe not.I know you will respond to my sarcasm with more sarcasm.I will read it as i know who it is coming from and take it as such. i apologize that some of you couldnt see where i was coming from but thats ok .I will work on my writing skills and practice.try to be more economic in my points.I will say it again there are plenty of knowledge out there written by very well qualified people on evolution be it biology or cosmology.Either at the library or the book store. like i posted before www.richarddawkins.net is a great place to start if you dont know who he is look him up or just go to the site.
    Take care enjoy
    peace

    it has become almost a cliche to remark that nobody boasts of ignorance of literature,but it is socially acceptable to boast ignorance of science

    To quote that supposedly Freudian phrase properly it's "Sarcasm is the recourse of a weak mind."

    I cannot find this particular quote by him in any famous quote literature though. The closest I can find is, "Sarcasm: the last refuge of modest and chaste-souled people when the privacy of their soul is coarsely and intrusively invaded." I'm guessing though the phrase is attributed to him, it has been reworded and twisted to suit someone elses purpose. It's the fate of many famous quotes.

    But from your posting style, I'm guessing you didn't know any of that and that you snagged it from the cheesy sci-fi movie, "Lost in Space" where the evil Dr. Smith said it.

    I am not going to argue with you on how i post i know its not the best and thank you for bringing it up again , like i said i will practice on my grammar and posting skills thank you for your criticism.

    WTF? Don't get defensive on me now. It was just a little FYI. I thought you might be interested. I'm not asking for apologies or anything else. What I meant was that your posting style is reminiscent of the younger generation and that I figured you got the quote from a more recent sci-fi movie rather than some other source. Movies are a great source for misquotes. In the back of my mind I was kind of hoping you might have a source for the quote being said by Freud so I could lay the issue to rest in my head. I can't find a definitive answer either way. I'm just guessing it's a take off from the aforementioned quote I verified.

    ken, oh sorry man lol just new at this internet posting thing.
    And if my posting style seems immature again i will work on that.
    its hard to tell emotions from posting so i didnt know how to take your post
    I was just trying to get a point across. Just a average guy who one day was turned on to some interesting subjects about who and what we are. To me its fascinating to discover the reality of the world we live in, I guess its harder for some to accept what scientific evidence has been shown to us that contradicts some belief systems .We only know what information we have been exposed to.
