Look parados--
It seems safe to assume that you are a suburban person yourself.
Suburbia is basically matriarchal.
Your attitude to my strolling down to the pub every night to socialise with my mates betrays a suburban mindset. I'm pissing my wages up against the wall when new bonnets could be purchased with the money instead.
You probably disapprove of backing horses, smoking and blokes shagging anything that makes an offer.
I understand you getting indignant about such things and my clean-cut definition of the sprawling mess, soon to be rendered inefficient, selected out in Darwinian terms, by energy prices, of suburbia.
I'm not criticising that.
It is just that it is unscientific. One doesn't allow one's personal preoccupations to distort one's perceptions of the scientific facts. It's not done. It's naff.
There are Spirituality and Religion threads for that sort of thing.
A belief that suburbia is not actually a collection of beta-minus breeding hutches arranged for efficiencies of supply and pink waste disposal facilities is typically a religious belief.
If you can imagine a large suburban connurbation as a unit it's easy. The people who run it do.
2% will have a tropical fish tank.
3% will have Marmite in the cupboard.
4% will have a netball ring fastened to the wall.
5% will have a subscription to National Geographic.
(That's enough spendi. Ed.)
I was explaining how they stacked the shelves at the industrial distribution points non-scientists call shops. The inputs.
(Okay then--what's 100%? Ed,)
The spermatozoa. I forget the term Darwin used.
Infusoria. Something like that.
33% wear basques and sussies on anniversaries and at Christmas. Well Boxing Day.
Some of these suburban connurbations are so big they can be seen from space. Smudges of light. The smaller ones are dots. Dover in Pennsylvania for example. With a powerful camera I mean.
Rosborne, in answer to: Since culture also results from BRAINS, does your qualification really add anything? Or is it more of an observation that everything in nature contributes to thought/mind?
I suppose so. I like to think that consciousness/awareness is one of the principal--if non-intended--products of the physical universe. But that's no more than a personal notion.
I DO think that we may model, with some profit, Reality in terms of levels, i.e. better than--or at least as useful as--"reductionism" (reducing the world to its most elemental ingredients) is a kind of "emergence" (a notion of things existing as expressions of cumulative and combinatorial processes). I wouldn't bet my house on it, however.
parados--
I forgot to say how much I like your avvie. It is so apt.

That's what I call wobbly. That's not putting your money where your mouth is.
I would bet everything I have at ten gets you one that suburbia is a collection of beta-minus breeding hutches arranged for efficiencies of supply and pink waste disposal facilities if I could find a bookie with rose tinted spectacles.
But there is a problem with your "scientific" definition of suburbia Spendy. It's about as scientific as if you were claiming with some authority that pink elephants always wear striped pajamas.
I WOULD bet the house, however, that you couldn't pass the jerk test.
Obviously. If I could pass the jerk test I would be a qualified jerk.
JLN, let me guess, you are talking to the "Legend in his own mind" spendius. If you wish, I can share the program that Ros whipped up to block posts with specifc search criteria. Not seeing spendi posts is mahvellous, although it is not really fair.
PM me , if youre interested and Ill send it by e-mail
Gee- Now they are conspiring backstage.
And me just a little pussy cat and all.
It's phenomenal.
Notice how it is "marvellous" that fm's status as resident A2K expert and genius can no longer be questioned on his own computer. Or, it now turns out, on ros's.
This is the man who often accuses others of having their heads up their arses.
Would you buy your kid's education from this man?
Sign up JLN. It's easier to form a circle with threesomes.
I would like to propose that the Richard Whitney award be given to farmerman for his services in heaping discredit on A2K, anti-ID and American manhood.

The correct RL phraseology should be
My church and worldview dictate that I find no geological evidence....
etc etc.
The evidence of paleoclimate/strat. occurences of the chemical structure of life (C12v C13) is clear evidence in a "fossil" record. Scientists use it all the time and are familiar with its compelling evidence. Apparently you are too stubborn to want to read what Ive suggested you read for the last 2 years on this very subject,SO, you continue to post your ignorant garbage trying to sound like you even have the slightest isea of what you speak. Obviously, the Church of RL doesnt wish you to be too informed, lest you stray.
Im goin to Newfoundland so you can spout whateve you wish. Set just nicely showed us that you are somewhat clueless RL. Otherwise you could have found the very same links as he. Im assuming that you know how to type into a search engine.
Actually the statement is not mine, but that of a prominent biologist ( an evolutionist).
Now we can watch as you squirm around to change from:
'that statement is false , non-scientific garbage, RL'
to
'that statement is true and scientifically sound, RL. You just don't understand it.'
Should be fun. Proceed.
*checks in, no reply yet*
Do you believe FM is more likely to "trip up", real life?

Looks like a valid reply to me.
Given RL's history of misrepresentation, I certainly don't trust his references without seeing the source and putting it all back into context.
Now about this supposed statement that you haven't provided a source for.....
We are waiting...

And he has posted in other threads subsequent to my post. So it's not like he's not on the board.

It seems as if you believe farmerman is more likely to "trip up". Parados already gave an adequate response.
Still waiting for that source real life.....
Somehow I knew you wouldn't be forthcoming
