Environment Man

Eman thinks Lincoln was okay, but Darwin was way off base. Obama would agree. For Obama identifies with Lincoln and pimps Darwin. [Note the Obama walk]

Newsweek describes how Lincoln and Darwin were born in the same day in 1809. But concludes that Lincoln was the more important historical figure. Eman agrees.

Both Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were born on the same day in 1809, and were thus about to mark their bicentennials. What about a little essay, Marc said, on the two men?

For me, the idea was like Christmas in May: two towering figures who had shaped the way we live now, redefining politics and science and philosophy and—well, just about everything else, too. A cover, I thought, that's the cover—Lincoln vs. Darwin: Who Mattered More? They are venerated figures (and, in Darwin's case, much maligned), men whose examples still inspire and instruct.

Not a few politicians have sought solace in the image of Lincoln's struggle to save the Union; not a few scientists and philosophers have found a model in Darwin's intellectual curiosity and devotion to data. What links them for our purposes is that they are essential elements of the story of the world we inhabit. (If you want to get technical about it, you can raise the reasonable point that it is an unanswerable question, but that's no fun. We do hazard an answer, and expect a lot of you to disagree—which is, in a way, one of the points of the exercise.)

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT DARWIN:

Darwin, the man who would almost singlehandedly redefine biological science, started out as an amateur naturalist, a beetle collector, a rockhound, a 22-year-old rich-kid dilettante who, after flirting with the idea of being first a physician and then a preacher, was allowed to ship out with the Beagle as someone who might supply good conversation at the captain's table.

And Darwin, at least at the outset, was hardly even a scientist in the sense that we understand the term—a highly trained specialist whose professional vocabulary is so arcane that he or she can talk only to other scientists.

Hey people. The religious man and the mud god initiator WERE born on the same day.

Ever notice that the people most offended by evolution, are the ones who provide it's greatest proof?

I put this fool on block a long time ago, I suggest everyone do the same.

He brings zero to this forum, or anything for that matter.

So you are saying I came from mud?

Lincoln was a man of God.

Darwin was s man of the Devil.

Lincoln and Obama trump Darwin because of their religious beliefs.

God will win in the end. So will Obama. Even if he loses the election.

God is on OUR side now.

You liberals can ride along but we are running the train.

This is why you are disfigured. I realize now it is a mental disfigurement.

You scare people because you have a disturbing name and image avatar.

Yet you should dodge a superhero like me because I am your antidote.

You cannot see what I am writing about you so I will share with others your secret:

You hate yourself. Thus your hate for a full figured mind like that of the one and only Eman.

Jesus Christ, take this crap to the Religion thread.

Nothing you have posted here this afternoon, none of the new
threads you have started, have a goddamned thing to do with the
2008 election. They are all threads about Environment Man.

Can't there just be an Eman thread?

Not you again. What are you doing in MY thread? Derailing it. Start your own thread and leave me alone.

THIS IS MY THREAD AND IT IS TOPICAL AND GERMANE (Jackson).

Yet Eman is the most important topic on this board. You just don't know that yet because your extreme jealousy of Eman blinds you.

Get a dog and leave Eman alone.

You have found Jesus? Hallelujah.

Your blaspheme is not wanted on my thread. If you must blaspheme, please refrain from coming to MY thread. Consider this a warning.
