Copy the Quote of the person speaking with the brackets. Then after the first paragraph you want to quote, type [/quote] to seal their quote. Then as you write as you get to the beginning of the next statement of the person paste the 'quote thing you copied.' Then type [quote] at the end of their quote. Repeat process.

You got it. No charge to you. I had to charge Leisure X and Comicsartist for that particular educational service.

The new National Academy of Sciences report on Science, Creation and Evolution supports Eman's point of view:

"The 70-page book, “Science, Evolution and Creationism,” says, among other things, that “attempts to pit science and religion against each other create controversy where none needs to exist.” And it offers statements from several eminent biologists and members of the clergy to support the view."

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/04/us...ref=washington

Then the idiots directly contradict themselves:

"The book also denounces the arguments for a form of creationism called intelligent design, calling them devoid of evidence, “disproven” or “simply false.”

Eman was not consulted on this piece of terrible fiction. If so many misconceptions could have been cleared up. It is unfortunate that so many prominent scientists associated with this project are atheist and liberals.

Japanese cars = Intelligent Design? I think you're comparing apples and orangutans. Last I heard most Japanese cars were designed in Italy (and my Toyota was assembled in the southern USA) ... ID in this case would stand for Industrial Design. The Japanese have very effective assembly lines and can make changes on the fly but I fail what this has to do with, say, the design of the duck-billed platypus.

Well just that design indicates a designer. Anti ID atheists will not admit to that simple logical and scientific fact.

Just...eyewwww. I had a neighbor back in the early 70's when I rented in an apartment building in college. She had a pet rabbit running around in her house. The thing shit everywhere. I can't imagine living in shit or running around all day and night with a pooper scooper in my home.

From what I've gathered from the media, you sound more convincing saying "I believe" than "I think"... as if thinking implied you weren't sure. Strange.

What????????????

They didn't consult YOU???????????

Impossible!!!!!!!!!!!

I looked through the credentials of the book's authors and not one of them had a Ph.D. in Bullshit. They should have called you!



Hey did you see the part about the recent crawling fish TRANSITIONAL fossil which you claim don't exist?

"Biological evolution refers to changes in the traits of populations of organisms, usually over multiple generations. One recent example highlighted in the book is the 2004 fossil discovery in Canada of fish with "intermediate" features -- four finlike legs -- that allowed the creature to pull itself through shallow water onto land."
