Typical Responses from Fundies
I'm spending lots of time debating Fundies these days and I am coming to some conclusions.
Fundies do not want to learn about evolution.
When Fundies are presented with evolution theory; they state that theory is not fact. But when given concrete examples, like the fact that whales have hind leg bones when giving them proof of macro evolution, or pointing out that man has an appendix, they then say that God does lots of things that we can't explain.
Fundies do not read scientific facts and papers in most cases.
Fundies run when asked to explain why the bible calls bats fowls or calls rabbits cud chewers, or if you point out that the bible is full of inconsistencies, for example the glaring mistake in Genesis about the Ark:
GEN 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
GEN 7:8-9 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
If they don't run, they will say make up excuses, like blaming translation. But they will not make excuses for Eve coming from Adam's rib. Yet they won't believe evolution even they saw it with their own eyes.
America should be ashamed of themselves that their educational system has produced 45% Young Earth Creationists. Canada and Europe isn't even close to that.
On a related topic, tonight I watched Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. It is Teachers week. The last two contestants were two of the stupidest people I have ever seen on that show. And one of them was a history prof who had to ask the audience "What the wheels on the truck" do?

NFL Picks for December 4th
Lousy week last week. 2 and 5. Bacon Special down the drain. My record now is 36-35-3. Specials are a horrible 3-7-2. OK enough here is this weeks picks. And I hate this week big time:
Cincinatti getting 3 and a half against Pittsburgh.
Detroit getting 3 at home to Minnesota.
San Francisco getting 3 at home to Arizona.
Philly getting 4 against Seattle.
KC getting 1 against Denver.
And the Bacon Special is Dallas getting 3 in New York.
All dogs tomorrow. We'll see what happens.
