Rhodes scholars, every last one of them. And they all think it’s funny. You would too if you could learn to turn that frown upside down!!

I have put it elsewhere on social media (minus your name, of course). Quite a few are cracking up over it. Working on em. I’ll etch them into your grave marker. Make sure you have a big one, for the numbers are pretty large.

I asked my mathematician friend, “What are the chances of life originating spontaneously?” ”Greater than that of all the atoms in the known universe,” he said. I then followed up: “What are chances that Alan will leave his infantile personality behind and respond to disagreement like an adult?” ”Let’s take another look at that evolution question,” he said. “Maybe I was a little hasty,” The above was a joke, which you obviously know nothing about. A joke is when you say something that a reasonable person will think is funny. Like this one (again with apologies to Col

Just because that idiot thinks his wisdom is displayed by categorizing arguments and reasonings doesn’t mean that I have to. I don’t even know what arguments are “young earth” and what are not, nor to I care. It is like he is competing with The Librarian (that old hen), anal about her Dewey Decimal System. Me, I just try to deal with what makes sense.

I also have not yet made the comparison (for the sake of kindness, but kindness is utterly wasted of this fellow) that while he looks forward to his death, you and I awake looking forward to the day, in an atmosphere of overall joy. Maybe THAT is the ultimate assessment of what one’s beliefs do for a person. He really really REALLY should have stayed where he was. He would have a more pleasant personality if he had.

The guy is a piece of work. Sometimes I fear his cherished evolution is true and that he is the final product. In that event, the end of all things will come far quicker than by any of the scenarios you have floated.

I lost nothing. I asked my mathematician friend, “What are the chances of life originating spontaneously?” ”Greater than that of all the atoms in the known universe,” he said. I then followed up: “What are chances that Alan will leave his infantile personality behind and respond to disagreement like an adult?” ”Let’s take another look at that evolution question,” he said. “Maybe I was a little hasty,”

You are one strange bird to think that the purpose of life is to win or lose on a here today—gone tomorrow internet thread perhaps read by 20 people.

Here is a Uighur reeducation camp story that is not very pleasant.

Are you sure that you are not committing the fallacy of postulatum pig flyum? Bart Ehrman, though I disagree with him on ever so many points, did contribute one gem for the ages: “If you know a Latin phrase and also a perfectly fine English phrase that means the same thing, you should always use the Latin so people will know that you are educated. You think that by attaching a learned label to something you can explain away nonsense? Here @Araunaand the mathematicians have you, and no wistful wand will wave it away.

Not to worry. Ever since Dawkins wussed out with the British atheist busses, with placards saying “There probably is no God”—the “probably” because he was jellified of the Truth in Advertising law—I have lost interest in him.

Yes. Of course.

Alan has already explained this, no doubt with many an insult. This was a trap that Poor Richard was led into, a trap that Alan himself would have been smart enough to avoid. Well, you’re on to something there.

The Librarian and I are tight. If I am not too in-people’s-face, I can self-promote a little. After all, I certainly do earn my keep here. Plus the book is absolutely unique, even if deeply flawed. There is no other integrated account of all that transpires in Russia today regarding JWs, and JWs are clearly the ones on the front burner (almost literally).. And the repaired version will be much better.

Think Santa Claus

I half expect the curtain torn away to reveal you controlling their marionette strings like the old guy running the Oz wizard.
