Dude, you can't post stuff like that. You know that.
8) No porn whatsoever.
- Chances are if it's nude, it's not acceptable. (Most Muppets don't count.)
- If you post a link that you have the slightest doubt about being acceptable, post "NSFW" with it. It might be the saving grace that lets it stay.
Yeah, you noted it with NSFW, but it's freaking full frontal nudity. No, man. No.

I'm just glad to see parts of the Old Testament associated with porn and banned. Mission accomplished for the hour.

A very very spirited 'high five' to Pro_ for the transcript. What is so telling is the vitriol of the pseudo-christians vs. the 'elitist' academics. The name callers aren't Christian in any sense of the teachings of Jesus Christ. They graphically show that they are of their brethren, the devil: "By their works, you shall know them." Disingenuous is a polite word for political assassination, which is their real goal. It's gratifying to see the 'thinkers' hit back with hard fact and reasoned rebuttal. It's time to get tough!
Thanks Pro_. Welcome to the discussion.

Does ID explain how a duckbilled platypus came to be ?
Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.

Re: Evolution. Creation. Intelligent Design. Darwinism. Etc.
Well, AiG certainly thinks that it's a baffling animal:
http://www.answersingenesis.org/creatio … atypus.asp
Most of the article is a typical "argument from incedulity" or "argument from ignorance" (you pick...). You have to read to the end to get to the best part of the article where they claim that biologists were wrong on one thing (that platypi only ever lived in Australia), thus they must be wrong everywhere.
Then, it gets even better. They note that fossil platypus teeth have been found in S. America AND go on to state that modern platypi HAVE NO TEETH.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong...but if they accept the toothed platypi of S. America, does it not follow that toothlessness EVOLVED????
For a fairly good summary of platypi evolution, and a critique of YEC craziness on this file, see:

Re: Evolution. Creation. Intelligent Design. Darwinism. Etc.
I saw some of the buggers in a zoo in Australia. They're a LOT smaller than I thought they'd be.
Could have been robots, though, I didn't get to touch them.
Does ID explain why cancer exists ? Or people with extra Y chromosomes, or other genetic birth defects?
(I realize there may be no ID or creationists reading this thread anymore)

I always figured that they were beaver-sized. But that's probably because I'm Canadian.
How big are they?

The ones I saw were maybe 8 to 10 inches long.

Well, I guess for a Creationist...why would the Maker design something that could have the basic blueprint (genes) have a flaw, that created a sickness (cancer) ? One that strikes a decent-sized number of people ?

That would apply to more than just cancer, wouldn't it?
Judging from what I see in the immediate past, cancer as diagnosed didn't become a huge issue until our last few generations. Is it a degradation from normal human wear and tear, or is it the result of a species not properly taking in the necessities of life, but still going on to reproduce?

Ah, so you're saying the more one consumes of fast food and the culture it creates, the more one should be rewarded?
