Um, DavidB, we're in here...

A correction, Clairmont worthy of DitWD for its timeliness and clarity. :wink:

And I take it that pldennison meant “revisionist” rather than “reductionist”.

Phil was being generous. I would have said “delusional.”

So then DIWTD can’t be arguing for the creationists’ side if he is to be consistent. Science only debates process, not purpose. Once can believe in a divine purpose for creation because it’s not a testable argument, but one cannnot believe that the Earth is 6000 years old because that can be demonstrated to be false.

What does “accept but not agree” mean? If a proposition is flat-out wrong, as creationism has repeatedly been shown to be, you can’t accept or agree.

For shame. Does your youth excuse your ignorance of Mozart? Beethoven? It does not excuse your ignorance of the Toto, with whom they share a place in the pantheon.

A: I turned 30 in 1991. Stop making me feel old! :slight_smile:
B: What SuaSponte said.

I thought “Rosanna” was about cheating. The guy sees it in the girl’s eyes that she’s having an affair.

“Read you all the way Buh dud dup! Ro-sa-a-a-a-na.
Read you all the way. Hey Hey! Ro-sa-a-a-a-na”

Then they had that other song about losing money in International Currency Speculation.

“I left the gains down in Africa.”

Toto? Didn’t their drummer die in a bizarre gardening accident?

I found this on Noel’s TOTO Homepage:

THAT has Darwin Award written all over it!

Roseaaaana! Roseannaa!

Joooaaaaannnaaa…I looooove youuuuuu…

I heard the unofficial story on Jeff Porcaro had something to do with snorting white stuff… but the gardening incident is the press release version alright.

I heard the combination story – that the insecticide was usually non-toxic but was known to react with certain substances.
