Re: Kicked Out For Saying I said no such thing! :P

Is there no creationism museum we could go to?? }:)

Re: Kicked Out For Saying While I think the whole incident is rather stupid, I can see one standpoint from which the tutor's actions are somewhat understandable. They perhaps felt that the whole discussion was getting out of hand, and the solution was to remove the cause (biased perspective...

GuildWars isn't bad. The game doesn't cost that much (or didn't when I bought it), and there are no online fees. I do think that this shows a bit, but maybe that was because I was already used to WoW. However, I got bored with it fairly quickly, but I know others who prefer it to WoW...*shrug*

Sounds quite a reasonable shipping charge - imagine how much it's going to cost to dig the place up and send it to you ;P

We Brits seem to be fairly scattered - a few in or near London, as I recall, the rest dotted here and there.

...of brumians :P I'd second Bristol if London wasn't an option. Or what about Reading?

,£175 for two days?! Even including three meals I find that overpriced. I guess that's London prices - I just cannot justify it. :(

Actually I think I remember seeing those headlines. New Scientist, perhaps... Yes - I am not looking to prove that prayer works, but rather looking for the studies that (seem to) claim it does. Basically anything that would be used by the religius to point to and say "see!". I'll admit I...

I guess you might quote Gen 6:4 back at him, asking him how many sons The Christian Deity had... Of course, he'd probably come back with something along the lines that "son" in this sense is a more general term than when it's used with respect to Jesus, The Christian Deity's only begotten son...

I know there have been a few 'scientific' studies of prayer done in the past. As far as I am aware, most or all came up either with negative correlations (i.e. prayer was actually detrimental to the desired outcome) or inconclusive. A friend was asking if there are any that have shown any...

...and that leads into the whole "Why pray?" issue, too. If The Christian Deity knows what you want, and, moreover, knows what you "need" to be part of his "plan", then why would you believe that praying is going to change that?

I (used to...lapsed quite a bit now) hit people with (real, metal, blunt) swords twice a week. Plus lugging a tent around, setting up camp, and then mustering in armour before walking onto a battlefield every other weekend in summer tends to keep one in reasonable shape. I'm switching my focus...

(re-posted from the old forum, to allow people to reply!) I'm looking for background on the Neanderthal species versus subspecies question. Particularly the rationales used before the mtDNA sequencing evidence. I have a question in my OU course which is asking about it, but it only wants 100...

Looking at the dates, I ought to be able to make it. As with everyone else, it will depend on the cost. A ,£15 admin fee for ticket refunds makes it sound like they'll be at least double that. Although I suppose I just spent ,£30 on a one-day martial arts seminar...and this is probably of a...
