NFL PICKS FOR NOVEMBER 20th
Last week I was 2 and 4. But my Bacon Special came in. My record is 29-29-3 for the year. This is very sad. Can't even beat the vig. Bacon Specials are a still pathetic 2-6-2. Here we go:
Tennessee getting 4 at home to Jacksonville. Jax is good but they don't deserve to be 4 points on the road against an average team that has been playing below it's capabilities so far. Jax isn't that good, and Tenny isn't that bad.
Atlanta by 6 against Tampa Bay. Just a gut feeling that Atlanta is going to blow Tampa Bay and the young Chris Simms out.
Baltimore getting 3 and a half at home to Pittsburgh. OK, I'm a confessed anti-Steelerite, but c'mon, they have Maddox starting today. I still can't believe how brutal the announcer was last Sunday night when Maddox entered the game, he was completely unfair........to say what everyone knows.....I felt bad for Maddox, but he can't have lots of confidence and he is playing another one of those teams that is better than their record suggests. Boller will play much better today after getting rid of the cobwebs last week.
San Diego by 11 over Buffalo. Buffalo on the west coast....forget about it. I think San Diego needs to blow a team out to prove they are for real.
Minny getting 4 and a half in Green Bay. Old rivalry. Green Bay upset Atlanta last week. Minny upset the Giants. Minny is better than Green Bay. Green Bay is horrible, Minny is just terrible.
The Bacon Special today: Cleveland by 2 over Miami. Why is Cleveland favored over anyone is a mystery. Vegas doesn't make lines to lose money. I know I've said this before and got burnt, but in the long run, these plays will win at a around a 75% clip. And remember, my Bacon Special are riding a hot one game winning streak right now.
Tip: If you are in an office Football Pool against the spread, check out games where one team is picked at least 60-65% of the time or more and then bet the other team regardless of your sentiments. You will make money almost every week doing this.

TEACH EVOLUTION IN HOUSES OF GOD
Either you are smiling or you are shocked or even upset by this thought. Maybe it is a mixture of the three.
But I think this has much more merit than placing ID "theory" in classrooms.
I think any place that allows ID in classrooms should also make in mandatory that evolution has to be taught in Churches, Synagogues and Mosques as an alternative to Genesis. Fair is fair.
For example, I am really getting peeved at the stupidity that Fundies show. They don't seem to even know their own bible. And worse, they stick their head in the sand when presented with facts.
OK, I know that the majority of people in the world need something to believe in and they need a spirtitual purpose, and they really really want eternal life. But it is disturbing to see the theshold of ignorance these people have in order to maintain their FAITH and BELIEFS.
Now that the Catholic Church has taken a great step forward to state that ID should not be taught in schools as science, I wonder if this means that Catholics now will start embracing evolution.
40% of Americans believe in Theistic Evolution. I have no problem with it. It is evolution with God watching. This can be incorporated in every religion, and it should be.
It is the 45% of Americans who believe in a Young Earth and zero evolution who need to be educated.
But perhaps not. Religion is a necessary evil. It gives the dimwitted something to believe in and something to live for. Many of these people would rape and pillage 24/7 if they didn't think God was judging them. Fear of God keeps them from total anarchy. It makes the ignorant masses relatively moral.
Of course, they think Atheists are evil. Why aren't prisons full of Atheists then?

Challenge to IDers/Creationists
You people want ID taught alongside evolution in science class. Actually, you really don't want evolution taught in schools I believe. Fine. Go for it.
I'd like to know what an ID science text looks like. I hope it isn't just a bunch of pages that pokes holes in evolution. That just isn't right, evolution isn't about poking a hole in ID theory. Is the ID science text book going to be a one page book with 3 words "God did it"? Just wondering.
Here is the challenge. Forget about evolution, you people think it didn't happen or you even know it didn't happen. What I want to see is YOUR theory of ID. How old is the earth? How old is man? Were there dinosaurs? When did the dinosaurs die out? I already know you think that man hasn't changed (evolved), that is a gimme.
Oh one more thing, if you say the earth is less than 10,000 years old as is man, I'd like to see the scientific research that proves this. I'd also like to see your scientific research about dinosaurs. Like I said forget about evolution science, you know it is hogwash. I'm looking for ID scientific results. Surely you can provide me with some.
