Re: Barbara West vs Joe Biden
Holy Smokes! There shouldn't be any controversy here - her questions were awful. She imbued every question with her personal opinion or perspective. A judge would bust her for leading a witness. Where is Ron Paul? Can we write him in? Please?

Re: Doug Stanhope on Abortion
Wow. What a pig. Notice he's drunk? Perhaps he has to drink to kill the guilt of killing an innocent child that he was 1/2 responsible in creating? Make sense to me.

Re: Yucatan Meteor Impact Site
I would think that if this event actually occurred, that it would have left more geological evidence than just the cenotes that the narrator speaks of. There should be a greater variation in elevation around the epicenter of the event. I would expect to see a greater variation or even almost a circle impression in the geologic plates under water...

Hey, makes for great TV though!
Oh, and his quote that "thar have been more people who've walked the surface of the moon than explored these cenotes", well, you better not tell these folks:

I dive in the limestone springs of Central Flroida and they are a lot alike.

Re: Good Eats: Deep Purple
Howdy from The Village Idiot (thanks spam_vigilante). Alton Brown show is great and he's a nice guy. I actually e-mailed him to tell him that I use his show to teach my kids cooking and her personally responded back, sent me a book, a DVD and a signed photo. Yes, I have a really cool signed photo of A. Brown holding a fish. Nice.
And not only are my kids learning to cook, they're learning science as well.

Re: Woody Allen Interviews Billy Graham
Billy Graham is a class act. You don't have to shout like that nut-case Phelps. Do like Christ - present the facts and let people decide.

Re: Evolution Attacked -- Again!
Wow, you guys bash his math right off the bat. Of course he's approaching it from a Christian perspective. He's simply trying to prove scientifically and mathematically that what Chrisitians believe is actually plausible. You must admit, this poses a great conundrum for evolutionists. This, the lack of fossil evidence, remains of extinct dinosaur species that still have liquid blood in them, ect.
Poopoo it all you want, but for a thinking evolutionist who is intellectually honest, this point must make you think.

Re: TED: A Lyrical View of Life on Earth
What a load of hog-wash. The photos are undoubtedly beautiful, but the explanation is bologna! "Bacteria learned to reproduce", what the heck? "Where ever water and heat were present, life arose", what?
Don't confuse a presentation with pretty pictures and words that give Darwin a boner with truth. Good grief.

Re: Bumblebee beats Optimus Prime
Wow, that was really great. That must have taken forever. Usually, I hate that stop motion crap, but this was very good indeed.

Re: Scripture taken out of context
I understand your dissolution. Remember your above statement in 30 years and see if you still stick by it.

Re: Scripture taken out of context
Darn, I wanted to edit that but hit OK to quick.
You're comment about who is to make the decision about whether something is literal or not, who the audience is, etc... that's you. It's up to you with the guidance of God. It's not up to a church or particular denomination. It's important to remember that the Catholics, Baptists (of which I'm one), Methodists, etc.... don't have a lock on truth. In fact, organized religions are subject to rotting from within because they place men in positions of power and grant them trust. They will screw up.
That's not to say that you shouldn't go to church. In fact, you should. You learn from others and stay fired up. But in the end, it's between you and God.

The audience will be implicit in the context. Sometimes, it can be very subtle.

Scripture taken out of context
It's easy for people with no knowledge of the bible to take pieces of scripture out of context. Shoot, even televangelists do it! But you have to remember that ALL the bible isn't talk to ALL the bible. In Leviticus, God was talking to the Hebrews. In Romans, God, through Paul, was talking to Romans citizen without a base in Jewish teaching. Ect, Ect, Ect.
Some of these rules still apply (homosexuality is a serious sin with serious consequences), some don't (Gentiles can enjoy pork and crabs at a Bar-B-Q).
But of course, those with no biblical understanding will see something like this and think it's accurate.
For the last 30 years or so, perhaps a bit longer, we've failed to teach our children the bible, and the chickens have come home to roost.

If you can't get a idea of the scale of this extravaganza, check this Google Map out...

...and scroll out. As far as I can tell, they're lighting up this whole man made - isthmus?
So - now that Oil is down to < $50.00 per barrell, do you think Dubai development will settle down a bit?
