I think Irving is an ass, but that this law is an even bigger ass. The antidote to ignorance is not shutting it up by force, it's throwing some light on it.

Very low I'd assume, assuming you mean 200 individual parts coming together in randomly to form a pre-conceived configuration.

And this is relevant to evolution how exactly?

Do you think you...

Luckily you have no bias. :smile:

Anyway, of course there's never been shown any conflict with the evidence. Such conflict cannot exist by definition.

Testing does not have to mean designing an experiment and watching how X changes when you tweak Y. Geologists can study mountain formation without ever once making a mountain themselves. That said,...

Absolutely....but the ideas must be testable. If your idea can't be tested, it's useless to science.

ID is not testable.

If you disagree, then please do show us the tests.

Whats the rodent that could chuck as much wood as it could, if that is, it could chuck wood in the first place?

Charlemagne.

Methinks you are on the correct path to the solution, Grasshopper. :smile:



Sounded good to me too.



You need not. As the Fonz would say, 'Correct-amundo!'

Remember, the unknown coin may be lighter or heavier than a penny. In your solution, you will be discarding the box containing the unknown coin with your first weighing if it is lighter than a penny....

It's not a competing scientific theory.

Um-hmm. The key is to use the info you get from your earlier questions to formulate and direct your later questions.



Of course! :thumb:

There's also a non-slang version, as in the poop deck of a ship.

Only 3 questions and one person per answer per question. So if you ask all 3 the same question at once, thats 3 questions, not one. You can ask the same person all 3 questions if you want to do it...

59 minutes.

ARRRRRRRRRRR....I rue the day I read this thread. :smile:

I was thinking that if something ate its poop, as rabbits sometimes do for example, then it could re-poop that.

Thanks for trying Teal. :smile:

And thanks to themuzicman for his input as well.

As you mention, this will allow you to maybe identify one of the persons, but then you still have to determine the identities of the other two.

If you're lucky this technique might work. For...

I think you got it!

My head is hurting just looking at your solution, but I believe it is correct. Of course there is not just one solution, but many, depending on your choice of questions. But...

Playboy has articles?? :smile:

Anyway, strange topic for a philosophy class. It's my understanding that this was likely an accidental death. According to her biographer Donald Spoto, her doctor...

Nope, must be answerable by a simple 'yes' or 'no'. No 'maybe' allowed, although I'm not so sure that would help in any case. :smile:

You're in a room with 3 other T-Web posters, all of whom know each other but whom you don't know - RandomRandy, TruthfulTroy, and LiarLarry. All you know about them is that TruthfulTroy always tells...

That's very sad.

I like the bit about the Discovery Institute lawyers pestering his aide about procedures for filing submissions (see page 110) and still not getting it right.

Anyway, for those interested, you can read some of Judge Alito's decisions regarding religious issues here.

Franklin wrote this himself somewhat mockingly when he was a young man of 22. His final epitaph was the simple "Benjamin and Deborah Franklin: 1790".

You might want to check out The Evolutionary Origin of Complex Features, where they show how just such features can be 'evolved' using this program.

Of course. If this wasn't true, I'd like to meet the bozo who would pay ten million for my empty Coke bottle.

No, there is not. :huh:

Do you know, or do you only think you know....so far all we have your claim that you know. LakeGeorgeMan has given us the same evidence. Why is your claim any better than his?

Why should I be the one to explain? You're the one claiming that you know. How can we be sure it was God and not something else that placed it there? Because you say so?

Let's try it this way....how do you know that the knowledge in your consiousness was placed there by God, and didn't get there by some other means?

That settles that question.....it's a red squirrel. :lol:

Seriously though, doesn't it just depend on your definition of "around"?

It certainly appears at this point that the forces of pro intelligent design (soon to change to 'sudden appearance'?) "theory" are getting a serious kiester kicking. However, we must keep in mind...

The transcripts on cross should make for very interesting reading.

I'll try to be more clear what I mean.

When I use the word "objective", I do not mean that the characteristics themselves are independent of the theory. They must be dependent on the theory if...
