"Patricia Lewis (grade 8) did an experiment to see if life can evolve from non-life. Patricia placed all the non-living ingredients of life - carbon (a charcoal briquet), purified water, and assorted minerals (a multi-vitamin) - into a sealed glass jar. The jar was left undisturbed, being exposed only to sunlight, for three weeks. (Patricia also prayed to God not to do anything miraculous during the course of the experiment, so as not to disqualify the findings.) No life evolved. This shows that life cannot come from non-life through natural processes."

That's just one example. Way to go for thorough scientific method. And bloody hell I can't find an article online but in the news yesterday I saw an article that she obviously has not seen. Scientists ARE now going for a second genesis in the labratory. They have an E. coli (useful because it's been entirely gene sequenced) in which they are destroying genes and seeing if the organism lives without it. If it does survive then the reasonable conclusion is that that gene is not required for basic life. So one by one they are going through the genes doing this. Eventually they will know the precise genes required for basic life and attempt to put them together. I seem to recall myself mentioning this before... But anyway, imagine if they succeed? That will be truly weird. To experience an entire second evolution. *freaks out*

"Jason Spinter's (grade 12) project was to show the feasibility of Noah's Ark using a Rodentia research model (made of a mixture of hamsters and gerbils) as a representative of diluvian life forms. The Rodentia were placed in a cage with dimensions proportional to a section of the Ark. The number of Rodentia used (58) was calculated using available Creation Science research and was based on the median animal size and their volumetric distribution in the Ark. The cage was also fitted with wooden dowls inserted at regular intervals through the cage walls, forming platforms which provided support for the Rodentia. Although there was little room left in the cage, all Rodentia were able to move just enough to ward off muscle atrophy. Food pellets and water were delivered to sub-surface Rodentia via plastic drinking straws inserted into the Rodentia-mass, which also served to allow internal air flow. Once a day, the cage was sprayed with water to cleanse any built-up waste. Additionally, the cage was suspended on bungie cords to simulate the rocking motion of a ship. The study lasted 30 days and 30 nights, with all Rodentia surviving at least long enough afterwards to allow for reproduction. These findings strongly suggest that Noah's Ark could hold and support representatives of all antediluvian animal kinds for the duration of the Flood and subsequent repopulation of the Earth."

This is just pure animal cruelty.

Conclusion - creationists make me sick. When they realise that creationism is NOT a fucking science and purely theology?

  • I hate it when people spell "pony" as "ponie".

  • I'm sick of people bitching about people who bitch about the new ponies.

  • Are people really so stupid and unobservant that when two people have vaguely similar names they truly can't tell the difference in a) actual name b) writing style c) sig??

  • People who say "I think I'm going to be scammed." Well love if that's what you're thinking, any person with half a brain wouldn't go through with the transaction.

  • People who constantly get scammed and still have no clue as to how to avoid scammers. I have only be scammed twice, by people I had never heard of before and have never heard of since.

  • People who still trade with people who are well known scammers then wonder why they got scammed too. "Oh but they seemed so NICE!"

  • People who ask about basic eBay buisness practices. I hung around eBay for about year before I started bidding and a few months after that before I started selling. I know the ins and outs of sniping, proxy bidding, shilling, nibbling etc. I know how to file an NPB and get my final value fee back and I am NOT afraid to leave a neg when it's deserved. I've yet to get a retaliation (maybe Australian sellers are just nicer, I have only bought withing Oz so far). If no-one takes action against bad eBayers then they will be able to continue on their merry way without recourse.



And now I must go and do constructive stuff.

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?
