Across the road from my old place a hippy built a huge pyramid...but it burnt down in the 2002 Bush fires...he was happy cause he cleaned up on the insurance and for the first time in his life had money that he could explain where it came from.
I have often thought of building one and drew many plans ..the big advantage is they can be made to be most resistant to fire...which makes me wonder why the one across the road caught fire
I do wonder why they appeared all over..maybe everyone formed the idea independently...maybe not.

Professor Veith was a Professor of Biology at University of Western Cape, South Africa, and was an Ardent Evolutionist. But he was confronted by the Evidence, and so changed his mind based on the Evidence, causing him many problems from all the other Professors. He has health and other series on Prophecy, but I am talking about you watching his creation series.

Have looked..remember that problem I pointed out about circular reasoning..I would use this guy as perhaps one of the best examples out there...it's the old story..you can't win an arguement against belief using facts, observation and logic.
Truth always come second to belief, facts pushed aside in favour of superstition...I see a problem and it does not lay with the scientific method.
These people, your good intentioned but hopelessly uninformed professor, never look at facts or employ the scientific method and if they lose an arguement which is the only option that we can expect...that is if reality is allowed a seat at the table, they merely think the other side failed to understand the point they think they have made. The only aspect they demonstrate is their inability to employ any reasoning other that a unproductive circular reasoning usually attacking statement of their own creation... they never offer facts just some one liner made up by someone who could not tell you where the Sun went at night. It is sad that one must call upon goat herders from thousands of years ago to be able to offer a response to very simple propositions...it's so much like pressure selling..if the buyer has this objection you say this...example..buyer says I had a bad experience with one of your staff...salesman..who was that person..buyer Mr X..oh we fired Mr X so you won't have that problem again...try it..I can give you the list...standard responses to frequently raised objects..is that a surprise..who would have though as much.
Still John you were able to show a video where Dawkins seemed to say something I did not expect...so I ask..did the professor use real evidence to find evolution was wrong..I mean did he use science or did he simply find an appropriate passage of his choice in his collection of literature from the bronze age when folk did not know where the Sun went at night?
As a generalisation I find folk who reject evolution actually do not even know what it says opting for a poorly constructed straw man that they attack rather than actually seeking an intelligent discussion on the actual subject.
Look a quick Google and examination of the real support for evolution is all you need to do and if you at least study and understand what it really says you can probably claim to be the first opponent of the theory that has taken time to see what is involved...Now I could give you a link but think just how exciting you may find doing actual research on the matter could be.
