I fully agree it should be "thinks" not thinks, as for the rest...

Bangee, I don't see one bit of racism in Jan's comment. I wouldn't throw that term around so loosely.

Glad to see that at least one person here can read and even understand what is written...

UXOEOD: I did not say that it is not as you say, just that there could be other explanations for sea fossils at a higher altitude than current sea levels (I AM aware there have been periods in the past with considerably higher sea levels ;-) ).
Your last analogy is non sense, though. The situation we are talking about in relation to melting glaciers of Antarctica and Greenland would be more like: Place a sieve full of ice cubes above an already full jar of water and see the table get wet.

I live at approx. 350 feet above current sea level. They dig up marine fossils all the time around here. So, that means that once upon a time, the sea level was at least 350 feet higher than it is today. The earth will reclaim itself over time, unless maybe we can get some UN legislation against it.
I do not know where you live, or how high the sea was, but what you say is not necessarily so, as the marine fossil bed you mention could have been lifted up...

If you think Obama is a socialist, your views must be far right extremist. Compared to European leaders, he's not even close to being a leftist. He caves in to corporate interests at every turn - a true capitalist.
Yes in most European countries he would be regarded as moderate right wing

That's why many people call the TP anarchists. Anarchists hate any form of government too.
Yes, no doubt they are anarchists of the black variety.

It is evident what is the reason for all this. The Tea Party loonies hates the government - the idea of a government really - so they create a horrible, childish mess and win. Most ppl agree with them now that all/most politicians are idiots and crooks. Including them (the Tea Party folks) naturally, but they do not care about that...

What is it about photography that attracts so many incredibly ignorant bigoted loonies?? I belong to many different forums with a fairly eclectic mix of personalities and this General Chit-Chat forum really attracts the crazies from both sides. This forum is more entertaining than almost anything, keep up the good work...

Well, Scientology came along which I don't think is a religion per se, more of a philosophy or a self-help program. However they paid off enough politicians to get it qualified as a religion for the huge tax advantages.
It is difficult for religions to have "something better come along" not because it is perfect, therefore no improvement is possible, but how can a belief be improved upon that is based on total fabrication to begin with.

I do not think it necessarily started with fabrication (though such elements abound in religion, the core was probably speculation, and that ought now (or long time ago) to be replaced by science :-)
Edit: I mean the old religions started with speculation rather than fabrication, though such was incorporated. Scientology is however pure fabrication :-)

Here is the problem I have with Darwin's theory on... (show quote)
Sorry this is very poorly understood, or do you purposely misunderstand?
Birds are the one branch of dinosaurs, that were not wiped out. They were already birds (flying, feathered, toothless) when the catastrophe struck, so they do not come from "dead dinosaurs".
Alligators (and crocs) do NOT come from dinosaurs, they are more distant relatives but share a common ancestor with dinosaurs (including birds), that is not ancestor to any other extant group.
What you mean by " How many times must nature kick start life on this planet"? It does so all the time (if you mean new speciation) or did it only once (if you mean origin of life - life may well have evolved several times in the beginning, but all existing life comes from the same event, if there were other life invented it died out long before the dinosaurs).

But that isn't believing what I want until something better comes along. Tho I guess that's a good explanation of how Christianity (or Islam, or any other "faith" based system of belief in the supernatural) came to be!
Yeah - and it was more or less reasonable then, but over the ages the believers forgot the "until something better comes along" part...

What an unbelievably ignorant statement. Humans didn't "come from" the apes. We ARE apes. I might as well say that if swans "came from" birds how come all birds aren't swans?
Very, very well put!
