From a scientific perspective, the Biblical account of creation as a theory of the creation of the universe is severely flawed. Have we covered that already?

Frankly, I don't give a rat's [behind] whether you believe me. You're just a botanist, and one from New Zealand at that. You are also a drunk and a sloppy writer. Your impact factor upon me barely measures above 0.
I'm more concerned about telerion doubting me, not because I have any special desire for him to affirm my successful publication h ...[text shortened]... o me having attended the best school in Virginia, while he is stuck at the second best.
No wonder the rest of the world holds such a low opinion of Americans.
However, since you claim to have such a great intellect why don't you put it to some use and argue the debate topic.
Originally posted by DoctorScribblesYou harp on and on about tiny grammatical errors, yet the leader of your country cannot even string a coherent sentence together when it is written for him. Why do you deserve more respect than the rest of the world again?
Yes. That's a much more concise way of stating what took me several sentences to circumlocute.

Originally posted by whiteroseBecause we have the mightiest army, I suppose. Didn't I mention that somewhere already in this thread when I was talking about how great America is? I meant to, if I didn't. There are so many good things about my country, I occasionally omit a few whenever I go on one of my patriotic spells, enumerating them.

Originally posted by whiteroseYes, I've traveled to South America a couple times. (And I'll be honest since my credibility has already been questioned in this thread -- I've been to Canada as well, but I hope we don't have to make a big fuss about that. It was a one-time thing.) I missed having the old Red, White and Blue flying somewhere overhead.
Very funny. Have you ever been outside the U.S.?
Originally posted by XanthosNZCreationism is a religious belief, and as such will always be accepted by those who believe it despite any evidence to the contrary. It is not a theory but a truth to the believer. Therefore it is pointless to debate whether creationism is stupid. It is not a debatable subject, either you believe it or you don't. You can, however, debate such topics as whether faith based ideas such as creationism should be taught in schools.

Originally posted by whiteroseCreationism contradicts all scientific evidence. And so does Intelligent Design, the friendly face of Creationism that was created in an attempt to backdoor into schools.
