Science isn't about the meaning of life. A scientist simply doesn't use words like "purpose". What scientists resent is not religion itself, but representing religious belief as though it (creationism) is in some way scientifically derived, or equivalent to science. Science should be taught in Science Class and religion should be taught in Church. false dichotomy.

If you interpret the bible literally there is a substantial compatibility issue; many of the groups objecting to evolution hold just such a view. Such groups are a minority. If you are arguing against these groups, I will join you. You are trying to apply this to the entire belief system.

I don't get where you are going with this. There are perversions to every belief system.

If you interpret the bible literally there is a substantial compatibility issue; many of the groups objecting to evolution hold just such a view. If you take the Bible litteraly, you are to poke out your eye and cut off your hand when they cause you to sin. Obviously there are cultural context to take into consideration; as well as certain metaphors to decipher.

1) Creationism is not = to Christianity. 2) Science does not = Evolution. 3) There is no inherent lack of compatibility between Christianity and Evolution. You are entirely misinformed if you feel this is the case. Since you are a scinetist, I would figure you would research befoer making statments about which you know nothing.

I think you are quite mistaken but it seems clear that you are rather emotional about the subject. Care to divulge why?

Bienvenue a Canada... hosers.

I tried before and got the same results.

Just take out whatever you can each time you go. There will never be a problem if people do this. There is not need to start a clean-up if we would just do our part everytime we go in there. Bring trash bags on every crag trip!

we need to get this board cyrillic enabled.

...sure

I find it rather funny that the only way this system can continue is with the subjugation of others. This is a contradiction of the purpose of the manifesto. Such a stark contradiction will lead to the failure of the system in much the same way that Marx predicted for our system.

He can be my deck hand. aka "bitch"

y'all are rednecks in denial.

Yeah it is true, but the system was flawed and was doomed. You can only kill/enslave so many people before it is doomed. I would say that this implies that the end was near or at the very least that its demise was certain.

That is a great little qualifyer.

Likewise... I just see so many overhauls of the Soviet regime in half a century especially telling. If it were sustainable, then why did it need such dramatic "fine tuning?" It seems rather odd that you can say that you think this system could have sustained itself having seen it. The desperate scrambling by officials to maintain dignity. I saw it happen and my g/f's father, a general was one of those men. Explaining away every crack in the facade of the soviet regime. These are not the signs of a healthy system, but rather one on the verge of collapse reminiscent of the fall of every large political system in the past.

are you talking about me? because I think we agree more than we disagree in this issue.

I think that major overhaul would be a more accurate term. When you seek so much change is such a short amount of time, it suggests something. After the previous 3-4 forms failed, they tried one last effort with Gorbechev. Ronnie did expedite the situation but it was in the cards.

What a crock. I just love this type of revisionism: you disagreed with Reagan's policies - which history has proven to have been correct. So, you must attempt to show that he had nothing to do with his successes (or deny they were successes to begin with), rather than admit you were mistaken - all in order to maintain your world view. BTW, you must be talking to a whole different set of "Russians" than I do. Or perhaps something is "lost in translation"... It is foolish to say taht ronnie did nothing, but also that the fall was not inevitable. there is a reason why a few million people holding hands ended occupation in the baltic.

No kidding. Why do you think they were scrambling to create glasnost and perestroika?

And your point is? It certainly explains posts like this:
