Daabbah-

I am very sorry to see a person such as yourself throw away their life. You have been brainwashed by an Islamic cult. Hanum YiaYia has been diagnosed as mentally ill. He takes drugs. He has gone to prison. He tries to silence his critics. He has no education. He is not a scientist. He is a greedy man, with little control over his base appetites.

Don't let this man take your time or money. You deserve much better. Stop cutting and pasting quotes out of context. It makes you seem as a liar.

Watch my avatar closely. See the tadpole? See how it grows legs and comes out of the water? Get it?

And one more thing: there's obviously no intentional deceit here of the kind some evolutionists are used to engage in, like the Piltdown Man, for example.


Yet another user who does not exist, exactly the same as rsommer.

Look at Joe Morreale's posts. They are direct cut and pastes from Harun Yahya's sites. Yahya used material from Christian creationist sites which are full of quote mines. Unfortunately for him this exists - http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/quotes/mine/project.html

Which means that either Yahya is incompetent both in producing pictures which claim fishing lures are caddis flies (which picture he stole from http://www.grahamowengallery.com/) and using quote mined material without checking, or that he is a intentional deceiver.

Given his convictions for fraud, blackmail and rape I am inclined to go for the latter.

Just a couple of thoughts.

2) And his degree was in?
3) He published in which scientific journal? And was peer reviewed when?
4) How much did creation atlas cost to print? Where did the money come from?

EDIT: Also how does YiaYia reconcile using images from the internet without the users permission? Does he condone stealing?

"...they know theres oil in anwar."

How much oil?

Hang on...

"The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that it will
require 8 to 10 years after opening ANWR before oil is produced from any new
leases. Furthermore, it would be 20 years after opening ANWR before oil
production reached its peak of only 780,000 barrels per day. Production at
that level would start to drop within a short time."

Put that next to daily US oil consumption 20,680,000 barrels/day (per EIA).

Enough oil for all of America my third foot. Palin lied.

I don't hate you. Believe in Jesus all you want. But I find your post condescending. I dislike abortion, and I am an atheist. I'm pretty sure that my solution is different than yours. I believe that sex education and readily available birth control is the true way to lower the abortion rates. Perhaps money from "Vanity plates" can be used for this. And please don't feed us "abstinence only". It doesn't work. Ask Sarah Palins' daughter. Also a personal observation. Try and capitalize at the appropriate times in sentences. People will be less inclined to write you off as ignorant.

Edit: Most of your previous post has been addressed ad-nauseum in previous posts on previous threads. That's one of the reasons no one "answers" your questions. But try this: go to the top menu bar on this page. Under "Archives" go to the "Video" section. Learn who we are. Learn how we "really" think. Not how some cartoon on Fox network portrays atheists. I have read the bible both in English and Greek. Have you read any of the books advertised on this site? Are you afraid to?
