I am certain you haven't looked at all, I cannot imaging that it would be gard at all to find young earth creationists in the Tea Party

You're right. I don't seek out crazies.

Such a liar! You started this forum, didn't you?  ;)

Can't help it if I have peeps.

Been doing some reading. NASA has been fairly clear that evidence of water is all over Mars. Confirming that won't be "historic" news.

Finding life? That's historic.

They've found something. They're going to be really, really cautious about it until they know for sure.

I doubt they found a skeleton of Marvin the Martian. But they found Anthony the Amoeba.

Count on it.

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Personally, I think LB doesn't stray far from his socio-economic group and he is sheltered.

Perhaps I am, but I think you're the guy in error here. I've spent some time reading online articles and a solid minority believe the Earth was created within the last 10,000 years.

Both my wife and I just chatted. We *think* we might be able to ID a few folks in Atlanta who used to be neighbors who might, maybe believe that.

But I'm going to tell you I think your data is suffering from some measurement errors.

Beliefnet cites a number of Gallup polls over the years which measure the question as to whether people believe the Bible is "literally the word of God." http://www.religioustolerance.org/ev_publia.htm

I suspect that a good chunk of Americans *do* believe it is literal. Except...where they don't.

Ask them in a poll if that's what they believe and they'll tell you yes.

But ask them if the Earth was created 7,000 years ago? I know a lot of people who are Bible-thumping Christians who absolutely reject that notion. If you asked them if the Bible was the absolute Word-of-God they'd tell you yes. But not all those dots connect the way you think they do.


Well then your nation must have fewer fundys per capita then us up here because I could throw a rock from my front porch and hit at least one who believes in creationism over evolution
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

and while Id like to say that as you grow smarter you move down here to the US it would seem you keep sending the real morons to Florida where they do nothing but cause traffic jams and mess up our elections.

What are you ranting on about? I thought you were discussing a 10k year Earth.

I realize you've got problems with religion. I'm going to leave it at that.

Thanks for the NASA news though. I'm looking forward to learning what's on Mars :)

This is my guess as well.  Can't wait to find out for sure!

The Spirit.

Never heard of it. Looked it up on IMDB. Still didn't ring a bell. Not sure what I was doing in 2008 when it came out, but that one completely passed me by.

Any good?

Meh.  I'm lukewarm when it comes to Frank Miller flicks.
