Scoop 'em up, fly them to NYC, drop 'em in the middle of Times Square, then film the whole thing as a type of "Survivor in reverse" reality show!

Like removing beef from the menu could make British food any worse. Your food sucks worse than your weather.

Ben Stein,

What a tool. I wonder if he would be as supportive of historians who are expelled from history departments for questioning the Holocaust? You can't be a biologist (or any scientist) and teach unscientific things like a math teacher can't question the structure of arithmetic of a drivier ed instructor can't teach that speed limits, stop signs, and red lights are mere suggestions...

4. Bart Ehrman, Questioning Religion on Why We Suffer

Comment #129954 by evaporated on February 19, 2008 at 8:08 pm

'New Testement Studies' doesn't imply anything about belief. The canonization of the NT is an important and valid area of research and, as Ehrman proves, doesn't necessitate Christian apologetics. Ehrman is a first-rate historian and scholar. His work and life confirm the validity of intellectually honest scholarship.

...and all this time I thought it was a day to celebrate Jesus's travel to earth on a sleigh with holy reindeer to deliver the good news of salvation!

6. Suffering, Evil and the Existence of God

why is there something rather than nothing?


This is a great question, but 'God' (especially a mute, immaterial, formless one residing in an incomprehensible realm 'outside' spacetime), and 'super intellegence' are just a continuation of it, not an answer to it.
