DavidB - I love your response over there in the “Where did the threads go” topic… “Do I hvae to click my heels three times too?” _snort_ I can just imagine Thomas going…“I’ll get you, my pretty…and your little dog too!” * * * “Men are from Earth, women are from Earth.

🙂 They all seem so nonchalant about it. Frankly, it makes me think they may know the answer. “Oh, yeah, happens all the time. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.” So I posted a note saying that if I were a conspiracy type of guy, I might think the administration wanted those threads gone… Wonder how that’ll go over, but I’ve gotta leave the computer now 'til probably tomorrow sometime. We’ll see… ---

I just tried to register on the Left Behind message board, but it kept on rejecting my username. Or maybe it was rejecting my e-mail address. It wasn’t very specific. I was trying to register as “Joshua 10:40” (I saw another user with a : in his username), and no combination I tried, with or without the space or the colon, worked. Too bad. “Joshua 10:40” would’ve been just **so** appropriate. 🙂 ---

You’re baaad, Tracer! “So Joshua subdued the whole region, including the hill country, the Negev, the western foothills and the mountain slopes, together with all their kings. He left no survivors. He totally destroyed all who breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.” Joshua 10:40, NIV ---

Tracer, if you used a hotmail, deja, etc. type of free web account, that is probably why you weren’t let in. They note in their terms of service that free web accounts aren’t allowed. ---

Somebody started a thread about Oklahoma’s proposed use of a “disclaimer” in science textbooks that deal with evolution. Needless to say, the folks who have replied so far are all for it. So I replied more directly and forcefully on the evolution issue than I ever have before there. Should be interesting to see what kind of responses I get (or, considering recent history, if the thread even sticks around).

Goferit – I’m already tired of these idiots. “Duh, I have a BS and an MS – that means I know what science is 'cus it says ‘Bachelor of Science.’ But I won’t mention what my degree is in…” I’m gonna call him on this one. Also, they just keep repeating that there is no evidence for evolution. It’s a mantra. But heaven forbid they should actually back up their claims. Why bother? They know the thread’ll be deleted in a few days anyway… ---

DavidB - Please call him on it…a B.S. means nothing. Hell, I could have gotten a B.S. in ECONOMICS, if I had wanted to. Yeah, that would classify me as a scientist. _rolling eyes_ Besides, it cracks me up every time I see that Rush quote there.

I was wondering that too, David. Perhaps because he’s not used to dealing with people whose logic isn’t full of holes? 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/for-david-b-the-good-doctor-and-others-who-are-knowledgable-about-creation-debate/17218.md?page=15) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/for-david-b-the-good-doctor-and-others-who-are-knowledgable-about-creation-debate/17218.md?page=17)
