Yup. Another way to put it: There's no knowledge without doubt.

And related to that, people who commit stupid or even monstrous acts have certainty without ever consulting doubt.

Come to think of it Chip, that just might be the way he phrased it. Knowledge without doubt. Sounds right, though it was a lot of years ago.

The world needs more people like that.

Diversity, independence, innovation and imagination are progressive concepts ultimately alien to the conservative mind.

What came first the chicken or the egg?

How do plants exist without bugs in the soil, and bugs in the soil without plants producing oxygen?

There are no atheists in foxholes

Underlying the evolutionary theory is not just the classic "stuff" of science — conclusions arrived at through prolonged observation and experimentation. Evolution is first an atheistic, materialistic world view. In other words, the primary reason for its acceptance has little to do with the evidence for or against it. Evolution is accepted because men are atheists by faith and thus interpret the evidence to cor-respond to their naturalistic philosophy.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. II Timothy 4:3,4

II Thess. 2:11 And for this cause God shall
send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

You can not see the 'wind', but you can see its effect!!!!

Evolution was caused by genetic mistakes at each stage?

Radical Evolution has 500 million years to find fossils of fictional drawings of (hard core)missing links, yet they find none.

We have not seen such moral darkness since the dark ages, coencides with
teaching evolution in schools. (Moral darkness)

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, EPH 6:12.

"Thus, many scientists embracing naturalism find themselves in the seeming dilemma recently articulated by biochemist Franklin Harold: "We should reject, as a matter of principle, the substitution of intelligent design for the dialogue of chance and necessity [i.e., Darwinian evolution]; but we must concede that there are presently no detailed Darwinian accounts of the evolution of any biochemical system, only a variety of wishful speculations."

Verlch, you never fail to amaze me. The sites you come up with are truly astonishing. Tney should be recccommended reading for all skeptics.

But I ask: what does the Masonic symbol on the Statue of Liberty have to do with anything? Indeed, what does it have to do with anything anywhere, other than identifying the membership of an object's creator?

Hmph. Some secret scoiety that one is, plastering their signature all over everywhere. If you're going to have a decent, world domination conspiricy going, you need to avoid attention at all costs, at least until you're ready to strike.

But could it be that there is no conspiricy, at least none involving the Masons as an order?

Well I don't know, I spoke with a mason the other day. I knew things from the websites, confirmed by a true mason, that where true. Thus giving these websites truth on those matters. I don't think they care about who knows what, because they can make you look silly for giving ear to these doctrine. Good advertisment if you ask me. They are in total control that they don't care who knows what or anything at all!

Verlch, you have to understand, one person saying so doesn't make it true. 100 people saying so doesn't make it true. An infinite amount of people just saying so doesn't make it true.

They have succeeded.

Verlch, are you saying the Masons made what they did so crazy that no one would believe in what they did without looking like a fool? If so, Occam's Razor has just cut off your head.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

You got that right, doc. If I am laying brick and some clown (especially the GC) starts asking me off the wall questions about masons I sure as hell would jerk him around. It would sort of break-up the day...

Furshur, I just read a part of your signature. That quote from Ferdinand Magellan, "...I have more faith in the shadow than in the church." must surely mean that Magellan was a devil-worshiper. And he had the whole world believing that the world was round as a ball, and not round as a pancake. Even though there is evidence that the world is flat. The ground is flat, isn't it? Anyone looking at a surface of water can see that.

What's going to happen in 21 years? Twenty years ago Reagan, 20 before that Kennedy, 20 before that WWII 20 before that WWI. Hmmm seems as though wierd things are happening! Perhaps they will place two eternal flames within circles on the spots of the WTC! The same ones Princess Di, JFK enjoy!

Maybe verlch is actually the author of all these nutbag websites he keeps posting here, he just uses his time between visits to SFN to make up a new site....

He has a genious plan to generate income from google ads and such, and just uses his drive-by posts here to increase traffic at his nutty conspiracy sites!



.....





..... well, this IS the conspiracy theory folder isn't it?

Thats a good theory Dude, but it would require verlch to know how to make web sites. Seeing as how he can't even make a decent argument, I fail to see how he would be able to make a web site.
