Hello, this looks like a great board!


Matrix ruled

ehm it still rules darling

Welcome Red Texas I hope you enjoy your stay.

So true, clavis, I can't wait til the next one - we've got it planned on our calanders, here in podunktown Texas

Hey, and welcome, Red Texas.

Thanx

Yeah a warm welcome from all of us!!!

yes Howdy and Welcome..
and remember to free your mind
...I can only show you the door, youre the one thats has to walk through it

yes, howdy. I am also from Texas...Hows it going, over there?

I live in Killeen, how bout yourself?

ello!! welcome

Katy, well, i used to, but college brings me to Atlanta Ga...

greetings

Red Tx, what is the weather like, I undertand you have some heavy rain.

Well, there's been some showers, but the main thing is how cool it's been


right now, it's like 66 degrees! That's freezing!

In the afternoons, it only gets to 80's or low 90's , and the breeze is alot cooler now.

Fall here we come

you Americans r gr8 when it comes to the heat 23 degrees and im almost fainting

Korri, are you talking in centigrade, cause Tex here is talking Fahrenheit...And yeah, i miss the heat, its too cold here in GA... I want a 90 degree "heat wave" to roll through, make these people think hot...

im not good in hot weather

but im ok in other hot situations

23 c= 73 F


OMG, Kerri, I hope you're kidding, because that's COLD for Texans

But then again, we're used to 38c and 40c 'round here

uh Kerri?

my bad

heehee

So red tx, what is your take on the matrix movies? are you fan or a real fan?

Texas, is one hot place I experienced 100F once, and survived to tell the tale.

Korri, I forgot to mention that the Matrix main website has some new pictures of your loved one.

really? i want it!!!

lol

sorry i cannot contain myself

http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/ you may have seen this one already but hey.

lol lol lol

i cant help it

oy vey




I loved the movies, and I'm interested(although not a follower) in the philosophy espoused in the movies...

i a real fan

obviously

not just of the films

He's gotta consider this movie a godsend, now that he's got every female in the civilized world after him

but he is mine

Jedi will tell u that

I think I'd give that more credit if Keanu told me

Maybe i AM Keanu...

i think you are

Omega> HAHAHA...yeah, im not, i just play one on tv...oh, wait, no dont...Hmmm...alright, im just a college student, only...

he's an atheist? hm, interesting...

SCORE ONE FOR MY CAMP!

JediHDM> Oh, really? I think I'll open a "So how do Matrix-fans LOOK" thread very soon.

Red Texas> I think I did read that somewhere. (Oh, and btw, you're not alone in THAT camp here ) Mr. Reeves is a very private person (which doesn't rule out that he isn't bright), so it's difficult to find any hard facts on him.

AHHHHH!!! No, dont, no pics...JJ, but really, you dont wanna see my room, or any of my pics, for that matter...

JediHDM> TOO late!

Awww...I dont have any cool Matrix-y pics...

Omega,

Cool

Did'nt know that Keanu was atheist, I am one aswell.

Well, it's good that there are so many of us here

In my opinoin religion is a false hope that only holds humanity back in the stone age and it also is nothing more than a way to discriminate and make money off of someone.

religion is a tool of class control - always has...

Wow, we think alot alike.

heh, well, are you an anarchist?

Commies and anarchists have a lot of the same core beliefs on organs of the state(just not the origins, or for that matter, purpose )

I cant say that for sure (if i did I would get crusified) and also was'nt Jesus from egypt or around there or something? That means that the bible contradicts itself again.

ah, still not sure?

They say Jesus was from that region, yes.

Ha I laugh at them all, they are just lost sheep. I cant believe that in my school once a girl contested evolution and religion (she was religious I was evo) I won the support of my class in 5 minutes, she was all sad that day.

ah, yes, I remember in 9th grade bio I was the ONLY ONE debating for evolution(we had a debate)

all the enemy could muster was "THE BIBLE SAYS..."

Lol, simple minded fools. Do you do everything a piece of paper tellse you? Hey im going ot go to be now, I would like to talk to you again later, until then PEACE OUT YO!

latR, man

Um, Jesus was from Judea, his parents traveled to Bethlehem to pay their taxes(for that was the city of David) had Jesus there. Later, when the king decreed all the children would be killed, they were supernaturally led to Egypt, until that King died, then they returned. And the Bible actually agrees with science, although evolution has no basis in science...

This man's a genius, a book that says the earth was created 6000 years ago has scientific basis, and Darwin's theories on evolution have no base in science.


Joo crack me up

it actually speaks of the water cycle, and other things unknown to man until much, much later (like the nineteenth century) and there IS NO basis for evolution, otherwise where are the "middle creatures" how do you explain how virus' "evolved" before more "complex" creatures, though virus' require a host to survive? It is literally impossible for a complete mutation to survive, to create it's own species. It would require that there be at least two of the species, at the same time, that have reproductive systems INTACT, perfectly functioning, to create a species from the mutations. And if each subsequent species is better than the previous one, why didn't the previous "versions" die off? Even your precious Darwin knew there was no basis for his Hypothesis. Curators of natural history museums, including the one in London, which is the LARGEST in the world, have no evidence that ANY species evolved into another. It seems to me to be a bigger leap of faith to say that we are the product of about a million "chances" happening in order and all working, than it is to accept the fact that God created us in his image.

Oh jesus....

OK, to the water cycle: prove to me we didn't know about it until the nineteenth century.

and where exactly does it speak about the water cycle? Don't give me some ambiguous phrase literally referring to loins, either, I want PROOF.

To your evolution scpiel:

Take a cup of beans, 50 white beans, 50 black beans.

The beans represent bunny genes, the white ones are the genes for NO HAIR, the black , FOR HAIR. If you get two white(recessive), the bunny dies, because the climate is cold.

Pick 2 beans at random until all the beans are gone, put the double whites in a separate pile, because bunnies are dead.

when you finish em all, put the beans back in a cup and do that over again.

what do you notice, NO HAIR bunnies become rarer and rarer.

POOF, evolution.

Now to crush your ignorance:



Here's your preoblem. YOU ASSUME that a mutation CHANGES THE original animal's SPECIES, this is incorrect, because, as you probably don't know, evolution occurs over millions and millions of years.

Think of this, if a couble has a kid with a big nose, that big nosed kid CAN STILL REPRODUCE with other non-big nose people, in having kids, he passes his BIG NOSE GENES on, thus, evolution.



again, your species assumption is glaringly wrong. refer to the bunny example above.



So? Becoause some brit curator is an ignorant fool, evolution is incorrect? check your logic.




Not really, you just have no clue what you're talking about

two units of the same species reproducing is not evolution, it is random genetic melding. I'm talking about, where are the subsets of a particular species, that resemble a "later" species? And don't tell me about microevolution, because i see microevolution occur, but macroevolution cannot. If we are evolved, how do we have such specialized organs, such as the eye? How did the precision of such sensory organs happen? Theres no way it happened by chance...If evolution does not change the original species, where is the proof, the half-newt half-robin? And, by calling the british curator an Ignorant fool, are you saying that you have proof that he does not, or that you really dont have anything to say, so why not demean him, it'll make you feel better, right?

dayz late but Welcome Tex! Blame my late welcome on Isabel

Hello tex. Welcome (sorry I'm late)

So lemme get this straight, the earth was created 6000 yrs ago according to this really big and boring book huh? So where in the blue hell did the dinosaur bones come from?

The oldest book, Job, speaks of huge creatures on Earth...

Yeah but we are talking about the bible.

Job is a book in the bible.

Is it, damn I am not a spiritual dude. Sorry bout that but dinos lived before us over 65 mill years ago not 6000. And anyways would'nt we like not have the skill and intelligence to write?

Actually, writing is attributed to man about 3500 BC, which is about 5500 years ago...so no...

Yes it is, I'm not going to waste my time on this anymore, it's like discussing with a brick wall who refuses to read the writing on himself(funny, eh )

OK, I'll address this:




THAT'S WHAT EVOLUTION IS. Did you read my bunny example!?



You're talking wrong. Is they resemble one another, they could have similar evolutionary origin, and like conditions, which would not require radical change, OR have different origins, yet, because of like environments, look alike because of some function. Bats and butterflies come to mind here.




And this, my friends, is called dodging the question. He can't take me on the battlefield, so he wants to play chess(using verbose terms).

Specialized organs are just that: SPECIALIZED, you answered your OWN QUESTION. They are fitted to our environment, and means of survival.



The guy with the blind/deaf/mute genes never got laid, the guy with the 20/20 vision did, thus, evolution.



Brash statement followed by...an ambiguous question? GOOD FORM!



Never said that. You must be mixing up what I and your sunday school teacher have told you



Uhm, OK, where's YOUR proof of a moon made of cheesecake!(see how rediculous that sounds?)




I'm saying, if he's backed down against the belligerent Jesuscrats, he is a fool, and has obviously never read anything By darwin, or anything on evolution, for that matter.


and when did I say I had definite proof? It's a THEORY for a reason, mainly, because we can't sit around for 10 million years to observe it.
