Another thing

We believe that "Football", as you call, it is for candy asses. We don't give a crap about Soccer. American football is a man's sport. I played it. It's a test of your manhood. It's one of the last really difficult things with which a man can challenge himself. We wear uniforms because if we didn't we would all have been killed. Some have been killed, anyway.

Ignore science?? Are you insane. The USA has the greatest schools of higher education in the world. Without a doubt. Many of the people in this country who believe in intelligent design attended those schools and flourished there.

And I suppose you are the genius who has figured out how to make Amino acids self-construct without directions from DNA. No. I didn't think so. If you don't understand what I'm talking about you have no business in the conversation.

Many scientists believe in intelligent design. They are not kooks and are not called such by their peers. Why do you think that might be? Huuuh? I would be glad to answer that question for you. (I know you are wondering because you are obviously intelligent, thoughtful, and open-minded). They are not called kooks by their peers because the ID scientists are as smart or smarter than the scientists who don't believe in ID. Dean Kenyon is the most notable. He has a PhD in Biophysics form Stanford University. There are many others. Mathmeticians, for instance, who believe that the mathmatical improbability of mere chance causing our existance is too high to be acceptable. These are huge brained people. Not like you and me.

So, don't presume to think your poor British education would serve you well in this debate. You'd better leave it to the big boys.
