Prying into his past? All the want is to review his college records, not exactly unheard of before Obama.

and we can not even judge him on his credentials from Columbia or Harvard. HE WON"T TELL. If he was such a shit hot Harvard intellect wouldn't you think we would know about it?

Why he's keeping all of it a secret? I don't know, I can make wild guesses but that's pointless. All I know is that considering he graduated with the highest honors from harvard law he did really good, because that's something only few people manage each year - proving that he is capable. And considering Harvard is quite prestigious I very much doubt he cheated his way through, which is probably the only reason people want to analyze all his college records.

How exactly has Obama demonstrated an articulate and intelligent persona? He reads everything and does not think for himself. There is no transparency that he promised,

Have you followed the debates and interviews? He's good at taking questions and answering them, and in those cases you don't have a teleprompter or script to read from.

and I am sorry, if you believe in the jewish zombi, a man living inside a whale and woman from a rack of ribs, you are already beyond reason, it is funny that man living with dinosaurs is what it takes to push you over the edge as way to absurd.

Yes. Creationism is definitely over the edge of absurdity for me. I can somewhat understand the whole church going thing and being a christian as half my family is devout, but once people start turning to creationism they completely lose me. That's absolutely absurd, much more so than any other religious group.

Sad thing is, for pages I took you for your word that Palin wanted to ban books as fact without checking, even though I never heard that. What else are you wrong about her, or is that it?

I got that from Ty earlier in the thread. I didn't know about the books thing until he mentioned it, and when I read it I wasn't surprised if it were true as it almost fits with the image she's been displaying so far.

Everything else I have said is what I remember from (usually multiple) articles and interviews. So yeah that's probably all.

funny he could not graduate with honors from Columbia, and SHOULDN'T have been accepted into Harvard because of it in the first place, yet he graduates from Harvard with honors, and we are not allowed to see it. yeah nothing wrong there. and why even question it ,it is Obama after all.

Plenty of youtube videos that dispute this.

To be honest it happens quite often that people perform badly at first and do much, much better later on in college. Know a few cases myself; it happens when people start to realise their goals and see the importance of education.

He shouldn't have been accepted, but he was. Good on him.

Can you be a Christian without believing in intelligent design not sure. Well I guess as a Christian you can believe in whatever the hell you want as long as it is convenient.

Yep, the majority of christians adjust their views quite heavily from what's written. It's been done ever since the religion first came about.

Well, a roommate did say his grades went up when he stopped taking drugs, I dunno if they 'hide' them.

You want to know why, I tell you I know as much as you do on that.

Harvard however is one of the most prestigious universities on the planet and I am 100% certain they make absolutely sure to check people's work. Besides that, he also had to do a lot of tests (which is hard to cheat may I add) - on which he has had to score good else you don't graduate summa cum laude.

lowing you pick one thing out of the many reasons I've given you as to why she would make for a bad president. (also the only reason I brought up after I read it in this thread) That hardly 'crushes' my argument, and I've already admitted that it was wrong. Third time now actually. "Has been shown you are not factual" gimme a break.

Yeah, because we're comparing Obama to Palin, if I have to choose between the two I'll direct the blowtorch to Palin.

For starters, both prints are just as deep, which would mean that the dinosaur and the human were of similar weight. That while the dinosaur feet were much larger and of probably quite a heavy species.

Archaelogical investigation of the site does not support it being a human. May look like it at first glance but it's not.

Humans used to be bigger.

Dr. Hovind theory bro

So much bigger that they've got the same strides and weight as a full grown dinosaur?

His feet are probably awfully small if he's going to carry such an enormous body. Or is it an alien?!

Just want to defend one of lowings points. Science and religion can coexist. I know there are a lot of rabid atheists here but I'm perfectly ok if a person of faith accepts evolution and chalks it up to intelligent design. I'm cool with them attributing the big bang to their god. Its not like you can prove it wasnt done by their god anyway. I'd rather accept them on these terms than dismiss them completely because of intellectual bigotry.

The only people I can't stomach are creationists.
