I believe you're thinking of someone else

perhaps you went to Oxford and got better marks than baby rothschild and no one noticed?
and dammit, that's just not right!

... tsk tsk feeble minded ol' coot, all that pipe dope is rotting your mind!

it was a question silly
you boasted that you got better marks than him.
a question by the way you never answered.

I have no knowledge that you even went to oxford,
so you say a lot of crap that isn't true
so what?

Christians have been discredited as fools by the overwhelming scientific community. Anyone stupid enough to follow them probably voted for Mitt Romney.

Hmmmm, well Vin I guess in your extensive reading list you overlooked Sir Isaac Newton, Pascal, Kepler, Charles Messier, Herschel, Louis Pasteur, Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, John Glenn and countless other extraordinary scientists who believe that science and faith are simply two sides of the same coin. The academic secularist movement of the last 30 years doesn't mean much in terms of the "overwhelming scientific community". Even Charles Darwin rejected atheism as illogical in his own writings.

Back to Oxford for you!

I monitored this forum and my meter went crazy.

that's cool, vamp ought to be around shortly to straighten this mess out, and get us all back on track..

Now you are all in deep dooo dooo.

How many of them believe the that the world was created 6,000 years ago? That the Sun orbits the Earth? ... One does not need to deny the existence of a higher being to call Christians fools.

Out of your list of faithful scientists ... which one can prove that "Israel was given to the Jews by God?

"Einstein's views about religious belief have been collected from interviews and original writings. These views covered Judaism, theological determinism, agnosticism, and humanism. He also wrote much about ethical culture, opting for Spinoza's god over belief in a personal god."

Funny, you left out Galileo, who proved that the Sun does not revolve around the Earth, contrary to overwhelming religious belief of the time.

From antiquity, the majority of educated people subscribed to the Aristotelian view of geocentrism that the earth was the center of the universe and that all heavenly bodies revolved around the Earth. Despite the use of Copernican theories to reform the calendar in 1582,[8] this agreed with a literalist interpretation of Scripture in several places, such as 1 Chronicles 16:30, Psalm 93:1, Psalm 96:10, Psalm 104:5, Ecclesiastes 1:5. Heliocentrism, the theory that the Earth was a planet, which, along with all the others, revolved around the Sun, contradicted both geocentrism and the prevailing theological support of the theory.

Vinny, you are so good at making your point, that it is pointless.

dose this mean we can discount science based on the likelihood that 200 yrs from now people will know that everything they were taught in science class was wrong.
and pretty close to being as legitimate as alchemy?

We can discount science to what ever extent that it freezes into an inflexible dogma that does not acknowledge advances of progressive comprehension.

Had your faithful forefathers in the church managed to successfully discount science, you would not be sitting at a computer or driving a car ... Unless Santa Claus brings them to you for Christmas

I would discount any religion that insists the Earth was created 6,000 years ago. Or that claimed to be God's chosen people ... silly stuff like that.

" It took until 1992 for the Vatican to issue a formal apology for the astronomer’s trial and treatment by the Church. Now the Catholic Church honors the astronomer’s importance."
Oh Infallible faith!

I think it means you better be more careful with your dose, JCP61 ... all that pipe dope your doin' is making you slur your thinking.
