In the spirit of the season.....ala Handel FOREVER...AND EVER! HALLELUJAH.....HALLELUJAH!!!!! sorry. got carried away...of course THIS particular Descent community will always stay around, even if few of us actually play the game anymore. No time spent making two (or more) people better friends is ...

Hey now, I'm a woman, and I like my Patron (tequila) straight....no mixing here. Second on the list is Irish Car Bombs....then Guiness....then a good ol' G & T....after that...I've probably had it but don't drink it often enough to care. And I dare all you "men" out there to try a Liquid Cocaine ...

Is it me? or is it a little scary that they're missing "life on the farm" a little too much?

LOL...that is cool though. and how much time on their hands do they have to do this? lol

BrownCoats UNITE!

I have the DVD series of Firefly, BattleStar Galactica, and Babylon 5 on my shelf.....when I can I go for marathon sessions of each. watched all of the Firefly episodes the day before seeing Serenity. I was very pleased...and I hope they left it open enough for something more to come out of it ...

Inductive.

Okay, I clicked on the link.....and in the listing there it shows MODERN HUMAN. Nothing different than you or me. What does it show us about evolution? not much. Dates are an iffy subject. Modern science tells us that we came into existence within the last 80,000 years or so (which I might add is ...

Don't pour your hatred for God/Religion out on me, my dear. I went to public school....was taught this stuff. I also went to church..but perhaps the difference is, I never felt like I was being FORCED to believe anything in church. My parents strongly encouraged me to come to my faith of my own ...

I think that if the will_kill of before shows up again then you may indeed want to change your handle. But, since there doesn't seem to be any other objection to it. Keep it until there is a person that has an issue, discuss it with them if there's a deep personal reason...then you can deal with it ...

The facts [/b] are EVOLUTION IS STILL A THEORY.......Bettina...even those of us in college or beyond agree. It isn't proven, not yet anyways. So please don't insult my intellect by telling me that it's fact. Simply put, it's what you've been taught all your life in a public school system. Therefore ...

The question lies in, Are you prepared for the conclusion if it doesn't end up pointing at Evolution? Likewise, are religious people prepared for the result if it does? This boils down to a non-scientific situation ultimately.

PHILOSOPHY 101.

We just happen to be here, and we happen to have the history that we have. Evolution theory, chemistry and biology is all I need to understand the rough principles of life and how it came to be. If that is your philosophy and how you choose to view life then you are limiting yourself to a view that ...

My point being, Tricord...that because Science is Neutral on the subject of origins...IT HAS TO REMAIN NEUTRAL. Neither system should be presented as fact. There are way too many problems with both views to make a valid scientific analysis regarding which is right. We simply don't have enough ...

In essence, Neither theory can be explained implicitly by SCIENCE. You cannot say that either is implicitly WRONG with that comparison. This is not about "children's fables". This is about taking a set of data....wether it be looking at fossil data, micro-biological data, you name it...the stuff is ...

The creationists that I know, aren't trying necessarily to force their theory into schools, but take the evolutionary theory OUT of schools and not put theirs in it's place. Like I said in my post earlier. Take it all out of the public school system, leave the basics without the subjective theories ...

Rush, there's one problem with what you said: the fact that species have evolved, and do evolve, has been proven by scientific research, experimentation, and observation I am not saying that there isn't evidence of MICRO-evolution all around. Adaptation within a species is indeed prevalent. But I ...

We have long since disproven many previous scientific theories by the leaps and bounds that science in and of itself has made over these last hundred years, in an exponential manner. Many of those processes have been refined, changed, altered completely to produce different results that have shaken ...

Personally, I like Firefly better...but BSG is very good. And I look forward to many a Friday night stuck to the Sci-Fi channel.

I got off the freeway once...and a Goth kid was standing on the corner with a sign....

It said Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah....You Know the Drill...

with a bunch of dollar signs around it....I just about died laughing...gave the kid a fiver.

Although I agree with some of his points, Ferno. I also have to think that he put himself in that particular predicament by showing up with a fake hand grenade. On closer inspection it was revealed to be drilled out and made ineffective. However, just his act of holding something in his hands like ...

Rejection

I have been classically trained vocally, I sang in Jazz Ensemble in college, worked with electronic musicians, and my parents subjected me to Tenessee Ernie Ford plays the organ..... I like it all for the most part. I listen to mostly trance when I'm at work, (cuz it keeps me going), classical at ...

I have been really happy with my Alpine deck...although I will admit that on some burned cd's it takes a while to recognize..As for speakers, I have been impressed with my new Infinity Reference Series speakers... All can be had for around $500 US. Keep in mind I am only using two 6'1/2 in. round up ...

I am in the hole about 3 grand to my father who became the leinholder for me on my car....no credit cards, no outstanding medical bills (got those paid off last year to the tune of $8,000). I pay my way through school and my own insurance/phone/misc bills.

<<me faints at the memory of the famous OD thread.....eeeeek!

I was lucky enough to vote first thing this morning. Actually, I just called in "late" to work so I could. Got my sticker and everything...nya nya nya.

If Mount Vernon, WA is too close to the general metro area....Sedro Wooley (which is east of MV) might do the trick. There are a ton of older farms that are going defunct, area for horses, yada yada yada. And it's close enough to the mountains for the spectacular scenery (see Stress's thread on his ...

Awww C'mon...I know you all have a secret penchant for SPONGE_BOB SQUARE PANTS!!!!!

Although it's not necessarily as affordable as *hack* *cough* *gag* Cuervo....go for Patron Anejo.... best Tequila on the face of the earth for around 55 bucks a fifth... for Whiskey...a good sweet smooth one is Maker's Mark. And if you want to have an Irish Car Bomb (ask any NW Lan person) Jameison ...

HEh... I am so happy that there is a drive in theatre in my town and a couple more within a relatively short drive... If you can handle staying up late, you get to see two movies for around $5.00 US...and you can bring your own snacks too. One of the theatres is near a really nice state park so I go ...

Just get enough money to buy yourself a Hyper-Baric Chamber...and sleep like Michael Jackson. ;) The concept is in essence a good one...Hyper-Baric medicine is making leaps and bounds with a ton of research lately. Perhaps you have stumbled on another use for it yet. There have been marked ...

Please reserve a seat for me as well...Hope it's not all full up...

GAh! I hate that Vantage Hill.....Gimme Hiway 2 anyday! much more scenic too Anyways, congrats on the new car. It should serve you well.
