@cicerone imposter,
Three years to study what is obvious!!! Are you kidding? You're just trolling a little travel one-up-manship.

What do you think about this inconsistency in evolutionary thought I have pointed out. From what you lot have said about missionaries one might think the position named after them would be considered in the same light as somebody flapping their arms to try to fly.

not a joke.It was a scientific observation. You may return to your readings of Biggles

Your intellectual dilemma is plain to all who have eyes to see.

@spendius,
spendi, You'll never "get it." All the negatives are thrown at you - about 100% of the time, and yet you are unawares. Your pointing of fingers at others only shows your lack of ability to comprehend the written word.

@cicerone imposter,
I can't comprehend your written words ci. That post is incoherent.

I'm seeking an explanation from your side on the problem of the "missionary position" and of the inconsistency and hypocrisy involved in organs of media, which wande has quoted from to support the case for teaching evolution, not only with reference to the "missionary position, but also with their failing to praise Dr Conrad Murray's exemplary reproductive record which cannot but attract the admiration of even a half-baked evolutionist. They have actually deprecated it.

It is well known that large cultural entities contain a small number of superior intelligences. It is also well known that any attempt by such minds to reduce Nature to its simplest possible quantitative form units by the mechanical differentiation of measuring and counting inevitable leads to an atomic theory.

In Classical science the reduction was to minature forms: on continually dividing a piece of string they always had string even if it was too small to be seen. In the Christian culture the reduction is to minimal quanta and that being of energy. On the one hand sensuous nearness of static matter exemplified by the nude statue and on the other the abstractions of fugues and modern painting. Atomic particles for us being different manifestations of energy showing on instruments the properties of matter.

The inner vision required to contemplate such phenomena is a feature of a religious view centred upon the passionate contemplation of extension in the third dimension symbolised by the spire of a cathedral just as the sensuous nearness of the Magian culture is symbolised by the dome or cave from which direct light is excluded. The former having an infinite God and the latter 30,000 gods with human attributes and a propensity to interfere in even the most mundane of human activities. Notions in the Classical being concerned with "stuff" and "form" and notions in the Christian science being concerned with "capacity" and "intensity".

This inner vision is not available to the lay person such as an average grade school teacher and the vast majority of grade students and is self-evidently not at the disposal of any of the writers of the many articles which wande has brought us.

As Spengler wrote many years ago--" A quantum of action is an extension-element conceived without regard to sensible quality of any kind, which eludes all relation with sight and touch, for which the expression "shape" has no meaning whatever---something therefore which would be utterly inconceivable to a Classical researcher."

Tell that to the kids if you want to give them science.

Try to remember ci. that you don't know any science. You don't even know what science is. So what you are doing on a science thread and recommending things to the authorities regarding the teaching of science is ridiculous. Your only justification for your position is that you seek to undermine Christian sexual morality for subjective reasons of your own. Just as the media conglomerates do in the interests of profit accumulations.

General promiscuity is the freedom to do as one will with one's own body. Abortion is a sort of sticking plaster to try to heal the wounds of promiscuity and the women have to suffer the consequences.

@spendius,
Your small mind that tries to equate the "missionary position" to evolution is where you show your ignorance.

Sex is a natural part of living, and all animals do it - even birds and the bees.

@cicerone imposter,
You haven't a clue ci. what the point is I'm making. fm has, which is why he is keeping his head down.

I assume your experience in the field is congruent with the position of the missionaries. Which, on all the evidence, is contrary to evolutionary practice which you are at pains to teach the kids.

@spendius,
That is "not a point" that explains human evolution. You are one confused creationist (which you continue to deny, but confirm repeatedly with your ignorance.)

without going back a dozen pages to try to figure out exactly what sspendius's latest tortured reasoning now tieing the missionary position in some way to evolution is, which is more trouble than it's worth, can anyone summarize his "reasoning" and his "point", to the small extent that's possible? does anyone really care enough to wade thru the verbiage? is he really tieing the missionary position to christian morality and the preservation of civilization? and evolution with any other positions and civilization's death?

This will not be the first time Spendius made such claims.

@farmerman,
We know there is nothing you find interesting in the idea that you only spout anti-Christian and are a thoroughgoing Christian on the QT. Obviously you won't be interested because if you were you might have to either stop spouting anti-Christian or deny imitating missionaries and grant Dr Murray his due as a very well evolved selfish gene.

I trust Grace was said over your Thanksgiving dinner despite your scowling.

And you have presumed to speak for me on more occasions than that it is polite to mention.

I certainly am hinting in that direction Jack. Yes. And you needn't be a Nobel Prize winner to figure it out. What is your reason for suggesting I'm in error. Blustering rants are not reasons on a science thread.

*I have three spell-check warnings on pasting your remarks which suggests you are unqualified to expostulate on how to teach 50 million kids.
