If there's one thing that the lower forms of life (amoebas, nuclear lizards, Mooslims, etc.) have in common, it's their instinctive hatred of freedoms of any sort, and everyone knows that our freedoms are more libertudinous that yours.

dont worry, lees, if godzilla attacks you we will save you just like we did with hitler.

[Adam]

In retrospect, saving Hitler from Godzilla wasn't the wisest decision the US has ever made.

Means!

Well, there was always Gorgo the British monster.

... and while they weren't that big, there were also triffids, in between the waves of vampire attacks on British soil.

[Leesifer]

I knew about the triffids - great book and great film too - for a change. (And they were quite big if I recall correctly)

Hammer House of Horror have some classic filums.

I've never heard of Gorgo until now though.

[Ymir's blood]

It's not bad. I wouldn't go tracking it down unless you really want to.

Hammer DVDs on the other hand, I buy reflexively.

Oh sure, there's evidence of that everywhere you look.

Tell me something: bearing in mind that atmospheric pressure will push water not more than about 35' up a tube, how would you lift water hundreds of feet into the air without any moving parts?

and fucked up things happen all the time.

If nature is mindless, how come she gets it right so often?

No explanation is necessary

Then why pretend to provide one?

unless you are asserting that the Universe and everything in it is the flawless design of an all powerful being, and any "mistakes" chalked up to apparently equally powerful demons.

They aren't. Any power they have comes ultimately from God, and that only by human misappropriation of that power as a consequence of the abuse of free will.

A wizard did it.

Trees manage it just fine, and they don't have any moving parts. They rely on the fact that water molecules have a property called cohesion, not on mechanical force. It's a very well-understood process.

You think that because the stuff that works is so prevelant at this point, the earth having been around and life developing on it for some time now. The shit that doesn't work generally dies, and so does not continue. Even so, you can still see it in abundance, if you only look.

Because one twin was hungry so it ate the other.

Capillary action.

yguy must think any tree over 35 feet tall is a miracle.

[Qingdai]

Redwoods, for example. They are pretty cool, but magic?
Maybe if you have enough magic mushrooms under them.....

Lots of creationists are hydraulics engineers, for some reason. Must be something in the water.

I was aware of this to begin with, in case the penny hasn't dropped yet.

No doubt, but it doesn't answer the question.

Which do you think is more abundant? Stuff that works or stuff that doesn't?

[LadyShea]

Any power they (demons) have comes ultimately from God, and that only by human misappropriation of that power as a consequence of the abuse of free will.

So some humans abused free will, so God allows demons to randomly attack babies in utero, and actually gives the demons the power to do so? Nice

More properly, God allows humans to allow that.

and actually gives the demons the power to do so?

Again, God gives humans power, and they cede it to the devil in exchange for sweet little lies.

Nice

Not at all, but there's no sense putting blame where it doesn't belong - unless you're the devil, in which case it's just what the doctor ordered.

[ChuckF]

Wow.

Thus sayeth someone too chickenshit to meet a demon mano-a-mano. Post more when you have some genuine experience under your belt, numbnuts.

Weren't you going on about evidence of absence vs. absence of evidence in another thread?

Do you have any evidence for any of this bullshit?

Course, yguy has me on ignore (), so he won't see this. Supposedly.
