Apparently Cingular can't reach E.T.'s home planet either. ... Not unless you get their 'Galactic Extended Coverage Package', that is.

This thread reminds me of something. Back in 1989, John Lynn put together a PFAL knock-off called 'Introduction to God's Heart'. I listened to that tape set several years ago, and you know that one of Lynn's guest teachers was good ol' 'Dr. David' himself. I wonder if he put forward the same effort at teaching with a 'mathematical accuracy and scientific precision' as he does here. Makes ya wanna go 'Hhmmm...'. -->

Skyrider, Well, the part about Ted Patrick and 'cults' (his deprogramming campaign against them) is/was true, sorry to say. :(-->

All right, ... who mixed the 'uppers' in Oldies milk?

Nice!

I know! It was gonna be a pic of a peaceful well, right? A well full of pieces? A well full of Reeces Pieces! ... Okay, your horse.

Oldies, Think we'll make it on The Discovery Channel? Maybe we can all get together for a reality show: "The Scientific Apprentice on Survivor Island!" (why does that have an eerie similar ring to "Gilligan's Island"? ;)-->) with Donald Trump as your host. "You're fired!" :D-->

Or maybe, just maybe, he's spreading healthy skepticism (which, as mentioned before, is required in the scientific and engineering fields, rather than 'faith'), an alternative point of view, and a legit challenge for you to prove your point, rather than your expectation to accept what you say as tho' it was 'gospel'. Your points and logic in challenging the book of James, valid as they may be, fail here, and become insignificant, as you cannot treat this kind of physical science from the premise of 'by faith, and not by sight'. Evidently you have no idea what a scientist who has come up with a new hypothesis must go thru (MUST, mind you), before his hypothesis accepted as a more solid theory. And that's *well* before it can be proven and accepted as fact. One thing for sure, with your attitude, you would stand no chance of having ANY of your pet theories and hypotheses accepted by any scientific body, getting your panties all tied up in a knot like you do. Dr. Science has more validity than this. (http://www.drscience.com/)

Bingo! :D-->

Actually, P-Mosh, If you really want a state to fry, try Alabama, where someone like Roy "10 Commandments instead of the 1st Amendment" Moore actually has a decent chance at nabbing the governor's trailer--err, mansion, believe it or not. And I can talk, 'cause I lived there for many a year, until I finally had it up to here, got a far better job, and moved to Georgia about 7 years ago. And I haven't looked back since. So leave Oklahoma be, give Jonny Lingo's family a break, and focus on Alabama. Believe you me chief, there is *plenty* to roast about 'The Trailerpark State'. "Welcome to Alabama. Please set your clocks back about 100 years." :D-->

Now ya done it, Zix. You done went and got Dr. David MAD now. :D-->

Solution: Shoot them all. :D--> J-U-S-T kidding. But you might want to practice saying 'NO' to the 'needy' family and their spoiled kids. And say it with a smile. ... Then close the door. Get Rottiegirl to bring her Rottwieller over to REALLY give that dog-hater something to complain about. (Heck, if you're gonna be accused of the crime, go ahead and commit it, I always say ;)-->) And yeah, go ahead and shoot the screaming cursing couple. The cops might even thank you for it. :D--> Note: I never have these kinds of problems. Maybe you can guess why. ;)-->

Zix, Grif and Donut are already, at 8 months old, full size tom cats. :-) And they are quite healthy and they look out after each other quite well when they are outside. (My apartment is too small for them to play and stay in all the time. And its quiet enough here away from the many dangers of the open street) And now, back to Dr. Science. :D-->

Mstar1, Maybe the fact that its a gallon a day might have more to do with it than the fact that its superoxygenated. For one thing, it does beat city water, what with all the gunk in it. (Atlanta's water is like that anyway.) But keep in mind that drinking a lot of water, even city water, beats by far drinking little water, and that will most likely be the tell-tale indicator. (Now beer, on the other hand, is a different animal altogether. ;)--> I wonder how much like research Norm from Cheers has put into that. :D-->) Zix, my man, Doncha know that its just a matter of faith, brother. Gotta take it on faith. Hhmmmm, maybe that's why James isn't supposed to be in the Bible. He doesn't talk about the benefits of superoxygenated water. Hhmmpphh, that self-righteous pharisee!

David, and so forth.Look at the words you use here. You seem to confuse the scientific process and that which is based on faith. It even shows itself with your statement about Now its true that there are scientists and the like who are/act very religious (read prideful and arrogant) as regards their theories, and I'll bet even money on far more of their theories wind up having large holes in them than not. (Such is usually the manner of arrogant people. They are arrogant in order to cover up for the flaws in their theories and the insecurities in their lives). But the overall field/process of science differs from that significantly. Hell, it even corrects itself, much to the chagrin and loss of those aforementioned arrogant stuck-ups. So look at how you deal with us 'unbelievers'; 'detractors' and 'naysayers' you call us. And for nothing more than a practice which is required in any field of science. *Skepticism*! For such is the way of proving things. Of disproving things. Of separating the 'wheat and the chaff' (to use a biblical term) Thats the way the big boys play in the field of science (and dare I say, in engineering as well, my friend ;)-->) and if you want to play with them, you gotta learn to take the skeptics with the ((cough)) ((GAG)) 'believers'. --> Huffing off with all your marbles with a 'have a nice life', ain't gonna cut it. (You do sound a bit miffed there, dude) Neither does you're bandying about of your engineering degree and other accomplishments. That's called 'the fallacy of appeal to authority', which in itself doesn't prove squat. Here's a phrase that you might find enlightening as regards this kind of process: "In religion, to question is HERESY (hierarcy? ;)-->) In science, to question is REQUIRED." Think about that one for a bit. It sure works for me! Sudo, Well, it seems that David's approach of separating the sheep and the goats, religion-style, sure isn't gonna find out for us for sure now, will it? Besides, I think I'll trust Penn and Teller's approach a tad more. As well as Scopes. They put more emphasis on this kind of skepticism I'm talking about. Just let me know what the final tally really proves to be.

Too bad Penn and Teller didn't do a show on this. Or did they? ;)--> Would be interesting to see what their take is on this superoxygenated water routine would be. ... Oh that's right. They didn't take the class. I fergot. :D-->

Lindee, err Linda, ;)--> Interesting you didn't seem to catch David's (note the correction :D-->) deriding tone and out-of-hand dismissal of those who challenge him on his theories. (And what's with David's comparison of his oxygen saturated water theory to the gospel of Christ as far as the 'naysayers' go? Like one automatically goes with the other?) Guess what? That kind of challenge that we used to refer to as 'unbelief' in TWI, is called 'healthy skepticism', and is necessary in a free society. And its especially important in the scientific community. So David should be well aware that scientists and like people are going to be 'naysayers' (so to speak) in that regard. (Ie., show me proof) It's part of the 'job description'. And it's the means that has served the scientific community and the general community very well, thank you very much. Ie.., in the scientific process and practice, one does NOT 'live by faith'.

Davey, One thing you might want to keep in mind amongst all of us so-called 'godless naysayers' --> ( And the overbearing amount of verbiage that goes with your pitch might even work against you for that matter. Particularly when it proves little, if anything. I mean, we 'signed the green card' w/o question once before, and for many of us, it started out on a very rough and abusive trip. So, if I were you, I wouldn't take the 'accept my sales pitch---err post as Gospel, or I'll dismiss you as the worthless godless naysayers that you are!' tack with us, please. That will get you nowhere fast.

But George, don't you know that thinking like this starts you down that long and dangerous path of arrogance and sin, (not to mention freedom of thought as well, which to some people is synonymous with those two things. ;)-->) Why, you might be at that dangerous point ... of wanting your own pony. ;)--> 1searcher, Excellent post! A post that gets one thinking about this kind of mindset, ... if one dares.

Is it me, or am I getting under somebody's skin here. :D--> Mike, I thought that with their getting back to PFAL, you'd fit right in. All they need now is the 'PFAL is God Barfed---err, Breathed' part.

Yeah? ... And?? Of course there are two sides to every coin. ... I believe that was my point. Thank you.

I say we sick Smikeol on them. :D--> (Ohh, the horror, the horror!)

Wow! Sudo has become the first atheist prophet from God. Wanna start up a ministry? You can make like a banshee on the taxes you'd save. :D-->

... in other words, the right wing version of political correctness. --> Yes it is.
