please chill on the religeous discussion on this board as

this is supposed to be a trading site.

Nothing will dilute and/or destroy the value of the postings and the site faster than dogma disputes. I've seen it happen.

Natural selection will do the job if we won't.

#41485 RE: Nickk #41475

Sorry to make an issue of this, but I teach evolution (among other things) and the notion that "there's much more science against evolution than for it" is just plain nonsense. But don't believe me. Just ask any biologist, geologist, or anyone else who has actually studied the subject seriously and at a high level. The only people who don't believe in evolution don't because they have ulterior (i.e., religious) motives. That's OK, but if you want to actually invoke the principles of science the fact of evolution is about as foolproof a case as you're going to find.

I can see this is likely to spiral out of control and so I'm going to quit here and agree to disagree. (Actually it's EVOLUTION's fault for starting the whole thing, ;-). If you want the final word go for it but I won't respond.

Apologies for getting WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY off-topic.

Good luck to all next week, make lots of money.

Good luck to the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

If anyone really wants to continue this discussion further, fire me a private message and I'll try to respond.

Well, although I agree to an extent, and since it is OT time, evolution is true. The flu for example, mutates every dang year (evolves to become resistant to last year's vaccine).
