| | :All right, [[User:AdenJ|AdenJ]], pay attention: You have just proved the point, made by [[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] and myself, about the "evolutionist style." You keep saying that "evolution is science"—and by "evolution" I mean here the full paradigm of [[uniformitarianism]], [[Big Bang]] cosmology, [[abiogenesis]], and "common descent from one ancestor." | | :All right, [[User:AdenJ|AdenJ]], pay attention: You have just proved the point, made by [[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] and myself, about the "evolutionist style."

| | :So let's talk. How do we know that sedimentary rock in a canyon wall takes "millions of years" to deposit? All we've ever had is Sir [[Charles Lyell]]'s word on that. He was a far better rhetorician than he was a scientist. He set the tone, and people like you are following right along with him in browbeating everybody into accepting a proposition with little or no supporting evidence. | | :So let's talk.

| | + | :ROFL. And how did Project [[SETI]] give us integrated circuits, microwave cooking, ''or'' refrigeration? Refrigeraion predates that project—and the other two things you mentioned owe more to [[Project Apollo]] than to any other project. (Oh, and BTW, I don't imbibe [[alcoholic drink]]s or any other intoxicating beverage.) |
| | + | :Of course, you missed the point of why I said that Project SETI is a waste of time: it's because they're looking for something, or rather someone, who cannot possibly exist.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 19:10, 18 April 2008 (EDT) |
