Xingu, thanks for the blocker. I just had a new operating system put into my computer and they didnt set up certain things.


If it's XP, they obviously did not have it configured. The Google is great but don't activate the XP. It will slow down your Internet pages.

Since over 95% if all species that have once existed on Earth are now extinct as failed life forms, the "intelligent designer" is not doing a very good job. If a designer were employed by a company and their designs are 95% unsuccessful, he or she would be pounding the pavement looking for a new job. Gee, maybe the "intelligent designer" is out there pounding the cosmic pavement? However, he (or she, or he/she if it's a transvestite) hasn't officially been fired, except for some of us who have had enough sense that he is doing a terrible job.

That invisible intelligent designer can't be too intelligent at 5 percent success rate.

I never thought of that -- Alzheimer's. Maybe if stem cell research were allowed to go forward unimpared, we could fix him/her? Since GWB can't seem to fix anything except gas prices for his oil buddies, we can't rely on anything he comes forth with.

That's klutz with a Z.

Like Edison. Poor designer, eh? Over 1000 unsuccessful tries at the light bulb, Lightwiz.

Would you have fired him? Sounds like you would have. Way to go.

-----------------------------------------

BTW, did you ever consider the fact that if everything survived (initially), almost nothing would survive ultimately?

If all animals and plants were successful at avoiding being eaten, then nearly everything would die, unless it could eat dirt.

So again, if you had your druthers look what would happen.

So you do equate the designer with the fallability of human kind. That squarely puts the kabosh on the all-seeing, all knowing superbeing concept. Edison was a God and allowed himself the same mistakes -- what a unique observation.

Actually, he didn't really invent the light bulb. He only developed on it. Which goes to show you that even something like the light bulb evolved.

Right, Edison didn't "design" anything. He was an inventor with enough time and money to experiment.

Good description of evolution, with no designer necessary.

yeah, I know everyone is glad to see me again. I just had to reply to earlier comments about God's sienility. I thought making fun of theism was funny. In fact, i had a siezure. Just got back from the hospital. Wait! Sorry, had another Siezure. Had to go back. I think I'm good now.

Excuse me, while I go lay down a burnt offering before my statue of George W. Bush--the great and mighty wizard of OZUSA. Okay, I'm done. Don't worry, folks, because of my burnt sarifice of greenbacks George promised we wouldn't experience any homeland terrorist attacks for at least the next 6 months.

Crap, another siezure.


Please continue,



The............
