Okay, that makes more sense. I think I misunderstood your actual meaning that Gibbs was the most utilitarian application of thermodynamics for biological systems.
I think I took you out of context.

If one actually wishes to influence, one must abide within a boundary were influence is possible. A discussion of issues should be pursued rather than seeing just how offensive one can be. It is extremely valuable when this is done in a public venue because it can result in various...
Since none have seen fit to call me on this... shame on you all...
My information came from not merely a bad source, but an incredibly bad source.
Frankly I had misinterpreted the function of an atomic clock and had assumed... yeah that.
It is Cesium 133 that is primarily used in atomic...
Complex yes. Painfully difficult to sort, yes... It is also the only elegant explanation for biological processes, credible theories of abiogenisis, DNA transcription errors, and the chemical basis for evolution.

I think you mean Vanity. Self adoration. "To take the lord's name in vain..." To equate oneself with god or to usurp god's authority by comparing oneself favorably to god.

Well, Hitler was dangerous precisely because he presented a lot of arguments that were at least on the surface, rational.
It only required that the German people abandon the ideals of a secular state, and dehumanize one minority at a time.

I think this warrants something far in excess of a single facepalm. sigh.

Then let's round up all of those who vocally oppose this, and "reeducate" them until they understand that...
Well met... I stated my meaning incorrectly.
The two catholic services I've been dragged to (there was a skirt involved, not one that I was in, but one that I was trying to get into)
were conducted primarily in English with Latin prayers followed by the prayer repeated in English.
Not a public place...
A private establishment may be open to the public but have an express purpose.
You would be out of place to do jumping jacks in a bar, and equally out of place to stand around the gym doing tequila shots.

He also doesn't appear to have much use for direct confrontation either...
TF's argument has at least become less ambiguous with this latest. He now openly resorts to the ad populum position as an argument for the content, while disregarding out of hand the contrary position. "I have fanboys therefore I'm right even if you have rational arguments."
No... I think the word you're looking for is Hypocritical rather than ironic.
Christians pray to a god that will have no other gods but him... and the bible sets ample precedent for this justifying genocide.
Exactly how is praying to a god that commands the regional slaughter of men, women and...
