Yay, bon bon, glad to hear it.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Excellent news bon bon!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
okay, so I was watching an old Daily Show last night. I think it's from Monday. Anyway, for the Evolution/Shmevolution debate they had one guy explaining Intelligent Design, and he used Mount Rushmore as his example of something you look at and can tell, just by looking, that some kind of intelligence was behind it.
Wuh huh?
Um. I'm confused. How does that example support his point. The intelligence behind Mount Rushmore is human, not divine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Um. I'm confused. How does that example support his point. The intelligence behind Mount Rushmore is human, not divine.
Well, I think he's saying that you can look at animals and humans and what-not and tell that there's some kind of intelligence behind it. A variation on the "intelligent watchmaker" or whatever that was called.
Dumb.

If I only had a brain...
Yeah, and I look at the human female reproductive system and *definitely* see the workings of blind chance.

But then why use a human work of art as his example? I mean, it's not like he said he was making an analogy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
But then why use a human work of art as his example?
Because he's not counting on his audience thinking too critically about what he's saying.
Same goes for his "It could be an Intelligent Designer with really poor attention to detail" response to JS's "But what about my scrotum?" challenge.

Having not seen it, my answer is because he is a blowhard stoopidhead.
How are you Burrell. I think I was playing with Frannie in my dream last night, cause I woke up thinking I should see her.

Mount Rushmore was created in 7 days via divine intervention, right?
