When I was in that Bible-based cult about 20 years ago, one of the "proofs" of creationism they gave was that during a solar eclipse, the moon is just the right size to cover the sun; therefore, God had to have created it that way. I believe in the Biblical account of creation but I can't...

Fat Man & Mrs. Earl: When I was in that Bible-based cult about 20 years ago, one of the "proofs" of creationism they gave was that during a solar eclipse, the moon is just the right size to cover the sun; therefore, God had to have created it that way. However, an annular eclipse seems...

Just some food for thought on this topic:

Hello Fat Man! One other aspect of the flood myth I heard about on a biblical-skepticism forum some years ago was this: If the ark were made out of wood, and to the dimensions the Bible states, it couldn't have stayed afloat long enough to survive such a deluge. Wooden structures begin to collapse u...

Hello sportslover! Well we half agree then at least. Cause I don't think it's a cult or a problem it's just something that entertains people. Like you guys and your chess, classical music and art. But I don't know what can be done about high school sports cause it seems to be a part of the schools. ...

Looking forward to the season starting My Lightning have started the preseason on a good note with a 4-3 OT win vs the Stars last night. The new owners were in attendance, including Doug MacLean. Any other hockey fans out there? Um. I think you're a little late to the party, dude...hockey season's ...

Hello SkarrSF! Sorry I'm a little late jumping into the conversation here, but just wanted to address a few points that you make: Obviously, it doesn't make much sense for one to register here if he/she is a fan of sports, but I'd like to discuss a few points and get some feedback. For the sake of t...

Hello Imperialist!

You're right, it is pretty slow around here these days. It kind of comes and goes, though, depending on who comes here to pick a fight!

Thanks for checking in and hope you're doing well!

Hello Fat Man and Skul: Thanks for the clarification -- it makes a lot more sense now (not SOPA/PIPA, but the opposition to it!) Unfortunately, when people wonder "how do these crazy laws get passed?", I think that's how -- most people aren't interested enough to be informed, or the langua...

Hello all! I must admit, I'm a little confused about the SOPA legislation. I have conflicting opinions on online "piracy". 1) Some of you already know that I enjoy writing, and I've shared some of my writings with some of you. I haven't published anything for money yet, but I would like to...

Thanks for those links, Fat Man...I've been watching the Cosmos series on Hulu as well, but get somewhat annoyed at their rather ill-timed commercials. I remember watching Cosmos when it originally aired in 1980, when I was ten years old. I liked it then because I had an interest in astronomy, but I...

Not trying to detract from the discussion of the Penn State scandal, but I feel I need to clarify some things here. I was going to write a longer post, but I've had it. I have neither the time nor the patience. Fat Man, I'm sick and tired of your religious bigotry. Hitler was not a creationist. You'...

Thanks for the check-in, Fat Man!

(And I apologize to you, HugeFan, for leaving you off the list of "regulars" -- I had this funny feeling I was leaving someone out, and probably still am! )

No posts at all today? (Thursday, 10/27 @ 4:30 EDT) Hmmm...hope everyone's OK. :| Myself, I'm still around -- just have been working some temporary and part-time jobs lately and haven't had so much time to contribute. I'm still following postings though when I get the chance, but often I'm a day or ...

Abitagirl, I was at the grocery today, and saw a map displayed over the alcohol section, called "Wide World of Beer". One of the beers listed was Abita beer, and sure enough, the spot on the map pointed to Louisiana! I thought of you when I saw this, but I'd never heard of the beer. Is tha...
