Title: Dinosaurs!
Post by: iago on January 16, 2006, 10:46:49 PM
Stolen from the vL forum: What is your favorite dinosaur (or prehistoric reptile), and why?

My favorite dinosaur is the Anklyosaurus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankylosaurus), because it's 10 meters and 4.5 tons and armor plated.  It's the biggest armored dinosaur ever. 

My second-favorite would be the Compsognathus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compsognathus) because those tiny little buggers killed the old professor guy (with poison) in Jurassic Park (the book, the movie wasn't quite so cool).

Well... I don't really have a favorite dinosaur.

I'd pick Barney because he's purple and gay.

Didn't you hear? the "extinction" of the dinosaurs is just a massive government cover up so that they can do stem cell research with dinosaur embryos.

Dinosaurs don't exist, nor did they ever. Those bones are really from Goliath's family.
Title: Re: Dinosaurs!
Post by: iago on January 24, 2006, 09:27:24 PM
The bones still form into animals that once existed (unless they were planted by God or something...), and the animals have been given names (as Dinosaurs).  I don't really think there's much room to dispute the existance of dinosaurs as never having happened, is there?  I won't force you to believe that they existed 65,000,000 years ago, but you ought to admit they existed in some form. 

And, if they existed in some form, which one do you think is the best?

Yeah, agreed. And man has never been to the moon. Don't forget that 9/11 was an attack by the US government, or that the World Health Organization created AIDS in order to wipe out Africa. Also, the Holocaust never happened.

No, the general perception of the Holocaust is a conspiracy.  Everyone knows Hitler was a good buddy with the US government.  The US was 100% behind him.

I hope you are kidding, how are gays any more at risk to STDs? Isn't it still a membrane touching a membrane?

Actually, that would mean that through hereditary STDs, straight couples who have children are more-so spreaders of STDs. 

Since I'm not sure if you're kidding, the conspiracy is that the WHO put AIDS into Africa to wipe them out.

I think it's a lot less common for gays to use protection.

I AM kidding, I like to think that AIDS was started by accident. 

But in any case, when it was first around, the gay population was much harder hit than the straight population.  This is probably the result of, like Sidoh said, not using protection.  Straight couples would use protection anyways, because they don't want to have a baby, but gay people wouldn't have the problem.

Actually Joe, there are a lot of Christians who say that dinosaur fossilization supports the notion of a catastrophic flood (http://www.sixdaycreation.com/facts/dinosaurs/nov2002.html) which was recent and supportive of the story from Genesis.  (I can't find the website of the guy I wanted to cite, but that story looks pretty good for now).  Also, don't just dismiss the universe as "not old."  God created Adam old, didn't he?  Who's to say that creating already-dead animals wasn't a way to keep soil nutrients available for the first generation of creatures to exist?

Just because you don't believe in evolution doesn't mean that dinosaurs didn't exist.  I think you'd have to be a fool to ignore the evidence that's there.  But the argument in support of the flash flood fossilization theory is pretty good -- at least, it's an alternative rival hypothesis that probably can't be proven false.

I cant stand most christans that pracite for this very reason. If a great flood that lasted for 40 days and 40 nights covering the earth, Killing everybody and everything. Besides a 400 year old man with 2 of everykind of animal, or how most christans say it "Every kind of animal that was around" So if all that were around where birds and insects, how do we have the type of animals today? Cross breeding? Cross breeding didnt start till the late 1800's when Gergor Mendal. But there were already millions and millions of types of birds, Spiders, dogs, ect....

First of all, attack beliefs, not people.

Second, so what you're saying is, you can accept that there's a God who created all of the earth in 6 days, but what you CAN'T accept is that the earth repopulated after a lot of rain?

I accept the story more as symbolic than as a true event.  I know that others around here will disagree with that from both sides, but I'm sticking to it.

About gays being more suseptobale to AIDs, I always thought that since suppositorys disolve into the body and circulation system faster than oraly, and other ways. Also, the stomache destroies all the things it can.

That's my take on it, at least.

Also, anal can tare. ;)

Unless you have an open cut in your mouth, there is no evidence that HIV can spread orally.

HIV spreads through bodily fluids, your tongue [being salivated] coming in contact with something else would put HIV on the thing you came in contact with.

From what I've learned, HIV doesn't have enough potency in saliva to be transmitted, especially considering the most likely area of transmission into the bloodstream is an ulcer in the stomach, which is really uncommon.  Stomach Acid has a pH of 1-2, which doesn't exactly make for a comfortable environment for any type of organism--including a virus.

Oh, wait.. uh

As for AIDS and gays, I'd like to think God made AIDS to wipe out the gays, because homosexuality is a sin (Leviticus 18:22 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=leviticus%2018:22;&version=31;)).
