We all love you too Jim

Have you been scowling at them all so heartily they've fled before your cheerful mug?

Life has had about the same amount of time to get it right - yes, mammals evolved much later than insects but ultimately life started at about the same time...

When the universe prolapsed and happened (we dont know anymore), not when some guy was written about less than 10,000 years ago.
But you are right on the design things, insects were designed perfectly for a while. That why they still live, like humans, fish, plankton, and bacteria that lives in shit.
I've said it before the flaws of:
Creationism - what did he start with? why has it changed?
Evolution - Where did it start from? why hasn't it all changed?
Stuffism is the only way forward, eg stuff happened and now we are here. I don't know anymore than that, and anyone telling your otherwise is full of.....bacteria
Now back to the science thing.
Little bugs in rock cool.......but does that mean the theory of big bugs goes out the window?

Please keep this thread on topic. There is a Religious Ravings thread specifically designed for debate on the beginnings of all things and such related nonsense. Any posts in this thread that wander into that territory will be moved.

Just take a look at SkidMark

RR shouldn't be in PD anyway...

How did PD come into existence btw?

**James Deuce** · 2nd April 2008, 12:45

Intelligent Design.

Isn't Synchrotron a Transformer?

Technology developed by hirsute French Blokes to print out 3D models of insects = cool.

Using it to prove theory of Evolution when I was trying to indicate a sense of child like wonder at some stuff that I think is cool = uncool. You'll not convert me. I haven't met a compassionate Christian yet.

The posts that inspired this comment have been deleted or do you just like to rant to invisible adversaries? I like doing the latter myself.

Got to love the Irony of your last comment.

I walk past the CAD and 3D modelling classes at Weltec often and it looks like great fun. They have at the window an F-16 on a stand, a model engine block and an Egyptian bust made from plaster. The CNC machines are incredible. Pity I'm probably not smart enough to do any of it according to NCEA.
