That made my day MeDeFe. Especially impressive as you posted only a few minutes before midnight here in Japan.

The lack of religion is basically a form of religion in itself.

I'm happy to know that even though I don't follow baseball, have no interest in it, and describe it as boring and stupid if asked about it, I am actually a fervent fan of the sport.
If you don't support any baseball team, then you're actually a new team in denial.
Wait...
What?
Ah... religion.

So when is the first not-training? And what is not our team-logo?

Way ahead of you snorri.

That's a great logo. What we really need though, is some kind of absence of logo that is instantly recognizable as being a logo no matter where it's not seen.
That last sentence gave me a headache...

So, I suppose while we're bumping, anyone want to talk about stem cells?

Here's the paper:

Out of interest, how many of you creationists have actually read The Origin of Species?

Expect no replies from this one.

How many evolutionists here have read the Bible?

I have.

So anyway, have any of the creationists have read The Origin Of Species?

I have read Mother Goose and Grimm's Fairy Tales. I should at least get 1/2 credit.

I'm going to be honest: reading Darwin was almost as painful as reading the Bible. I couldn't finish Origin or the Bible, but they were painful for completely different reasons. One was due to the Victorian writing style, the other was due to... well... a lot of things.

Most of it. You know what they say, know your enemy.

Partly, certainly not cover to cover.

I certainly hope you're not suggesting that the bible is little more than a fairy story used to teach morality to the less mentally capable members of society

Yeah, definitely. Found the bible a real struggle at times (only read it because it was literally the only book I had to read! Gotta love those gibons that went round my uni depositing their religious load

) and it took me nearly 3 months to manage to read the The Origin of Species. Fascinating book, but it takes it out of you reading it.

I have read most of it, and the rest I've learned from my parents and shit.

Never. Who would think that?

Elaborate on that.
