Military measures enacted by allowance of UN resolutions can only be so enacted by approval of the UN Security Council. Which, as you may recall, never happened. Bush and Blair didn't even bother trying to bring it to vote because they didn't have a chance in hell of it passing. Their case...

Yes, I can see how demonstrating to the entire boards your inability to back up your own claim with a concrete example might not rank high on your list of priorities. It's perfectly understandable that you don't wish to pursue this any further. Carry on...

A thought... but it's possible those statements are directed at "the republicans" as in the party as an entity and not every single individual republican voter. I do seem to recall a certain party going so far as to call a special session of congress and even managing to drag Bush off one of...

Deja vu... To repeat my response to that exact same statement from your last post: Rather received documents which appeared to be legitimate at the time, then later found evidence they were not and retracted. O'Reilly deliberately editted out remarks from the statement he was airing to...

No they don't. They received documents which appeared to be legitimate at the time, then later found evidence they were not and retracted. O'Reilly deliberately editted out remarks from the statement he was airing to remove THREE different references to Biden's suggestion for an...

If it's as simple as that I challenge you to find one single other major news network which did the equivalent of what occured here. O'Reilly selectively editted the statements of a government official to remove THREE DIFFERENT TIMES references he made to a course of action he was advocating...

The Big Bang did not, in any way, involve "dust". There wasn't even solid matter at the time. 1. We didn't "supercede" chimps. 2. We already HAD intellectual powers when the hominid line diverged from the chimp ancestral line. 3. And the Tao Te Ching lays out the principles of Quantum...

Watched... So. Very. Bad. Too many errors, misconceptions and misrepresentations to count without going through it another half dozen times. I just finished going over the whole evo/creo issue in considerable detail on another board and I really would rather not do it again this soon...

No... whoever is the minority in the government by ANY MARGIN might as well be castrated, and never mind if they represent 49% of the country. I can't believe some people are so incredibly short sighted. Do you know the one sure thing in a democracy like the U.S.? When one party starts...

Newton's laws have not been proved wrong. They were demonstrated to be incomplete because they broke down at the atomic level. You can still use them to quite correctly model the motion of any body that isn't the size of an atom or smaller...

Yes, but then in that case evolution STILL occured. Which is what the evidence indicates. Which is all we're saying. I was addressing the claims where people believe evolution never happened, and just hand wave away all the evidence that it did with that never-to-be-sufficiently-detested "God...

I did my best! You should see it in technospeak... But by the time we reach the point where we're speculating that maybe God created the universe with the amount of evidence that exists for evolution AND YET without evolution actually occuring we've reached levels of absurdity that, while...

In other words: God is deliberately deceiving us by using his supernatural powers to plant misleading evidence? Somehow I don't see that argument flying once any significant thought is given to it's implications... even by creationists.

Neither do evolutionary biologists. Humans and monkeys both evolved from a common primate ancestor. I wrote this up for posting on another board, but it appears it can be of use here as well: =========================================================== Retroviruses Retroviruses contain...

I get the impression reading through these responses that quite a few people are just looking at the pictures and not listening to the commentaries of the photographers that took them... Click on the pictures people...
