Do the drivers amongst you switch over to winter tyres?
Rarely are they necessary. We had it bad here but other than a day or two of disruption at the start life carried on to a tolerable degree. How often does that happen?

I can't see the government encouraging winter tyres either, Harris was telling us that the planet was on fire hardly a month ago, even he might see some sort of contradiction there.

What amazed me was the number of people without suitable footwear let alone tyres. They were staggering past here in heels and even one lady in slippers, I seemed to be the only person in the village who possessed a pair of wellies.

The amount of people I have seen out in t shirts and hoodies the past few days. I was at a funeral at the height of the weather, several people were out at the cemetry without a coat.

The Alien Zuckerberg is sh1tting himself. First he done away with "Fact checkers" and now he's on Rogan

Was it watchable ~ ~ I gave it a couple of minutes but just couldn't have the will to face that long of Zuckerberg.

I prefer Rogan when he some good Physics Guy on ~ ~ But sadly I'd say he has done all of those especially at the relatively simple level that Rogan would be doing.

Lily Allen, the woke open-borders fanatic who lives in a mansion, has checked into a €9k per week trauma clinic after her marriage breakdown.

Isn't it great these people have access to such facilities when they meet a bump in the road?

These snowflakes cannot exist without a therapist to constantly reassure them.
Weak as fuck.

Like Stephen C. Meyer (Godfather of Creationism/ID) :) -


View: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tb1Ubw1Iu5w

Of course, the Meyermeister doesn't really say anything wrong (or unscientific) here

It's kind of interesting to observe the alliance between the flat-earthers and the ID creationists (FECs)

So @Hermit gets all butt hurt when @Tiger doesn't believe that we live on a pizza and Tiger knows that his creationism is supposed to be scientific 😆 (obviously flat-earthers don't have a shred of credibility)

I thought Catholics, no matter how fanatical, would leave that particular situation in the hands of Evangelical Prods and all the opprobrium that follows Miss.

A lot of people think this.

And some "Normie" Catholics can get very uncomfortable with what you call "Creationism" (really all Catholics who believe in "Theistic Evolution" also believe in Creation), particularly in Ireland but also to a lesser extent in North America, however often enough Catholics who oppose Vatican II are as thran about opposing Darwinisn as some Evangelical Prods can be.

Myles, it’s possible that you are literally the most stupid man in Ireland.

Let me enlighten you, since clarity on this matter seems beyond your grasp. A Creationist is simply a person who acknowledges the self-evident truth that the universe, in all its precision and complexity, owes its existence to a higher intelligence—a Creator who crafted the laws of nature with purpose and harmony.

By contrast, those who reject this truth (non-creationists) must contend with the laughable proposition that the universe simply appeared out of literal nothingness —unbidden and uncaused—from the void. This is an unscientific and intellectually stupid proposition.


Not content with this initial absurdity, they further suggest that it then proceeded to design itself, in all its intricate majesty, entirely without guidance. This is not science; it is a myth wrapped in pseudo-intellectual posturing, designed to evade the unpalatable reality of a Creator.

To put this in terms that even you might comprehend: a Creationist believes in God, the divine architect of existence. Those who deny Him cling to the preposterous idea that everything we see emerged from nothing—not even a single molecule—with no cause, no purpose, and no intelligence behind it.

The only people on the planet who think that the universe created itself is about 16% of the population of the world.

Everyone else thinks that there is a divine creator

Quit that gobble gobble and be serious for a moment Sir.

How long do you believe humans have existed?

Do you think people wandered around with Dinosaurs?

Thanks for proving that you don't even know what the definition of science is (let alone knowing anything about it)

Is that about the same percentage of the population that's Catholic? Shall we call it a draw?

There are reports of "Dinosaur" like beings existing across the world in human history and in fact we have reports of one existing today in Scotland (and no I am not referring to "Thornlie Boys" fans, etc).

Are you including Buddhists in that? They do not believe in a Divine Creator whether by Will Ex Nihilo or by Emanation. Interestingly Zizek who are am not a fan of at all had this observation that if people in the modern Western Financial "industry" are involved in anything Spiritual it is most likely to be something Buddhist.

Myles why are you so eager to deflect from the central question: whether the universe was created by a higher intelligence? You seem remarkably confident in your dismissal of this idea, so I must ask—what evidence can you present to support your certainty? Surely, with such bravado, you must have definitive proof that the universe, with all its precision and complexity, brought itself into existence without any guiding intelligence.

The exact timeline of human existence, while a fascinating topic, pales in importance compared to the ultimate truth of creation.

I didn't dismiss what you're saying. Everyone knows what is meant by someone being a "creationist" but you deliberately pretended it to mean its literal definition.

So in regards to you being a creationist (someone how believes the World is a few thousand years old etc) are you one Sir?

That is "Young Earth Creationism"- there is also the "Gap theory" which a lot of thran Evangelical Prods believe in also which states there was a "Gap" between the Creation account in the First Chapter of Genesis and the special Creation of our Ur-Parents Adam and Eve in the Second Chapter of Genesis that could have been even millions or so of years.

The important thing about "Creationism" is the Special Creation of Adam and Eve and all of our present humanity coming ultimately from out of their loins rather than humanity emerging through macro-evolution.

You're wasting your time, Mylo. I've asked him on more than one occasion how old he believes the Earth to be and he won't say (imagine being so dishonest that you refuse to answer a straightforward question about what you believe)

Its actually quite disturbing. Imagine having such little faith in one's own beliefs?

Is that why Tiger won't answer the question Miss?

Myles, I didn’t answer your question because it wasn’t a serious attempt at dialogue—it was a juvenile diversion from discussing the real issue: the origin of the universe. Both you and James have shown a consistent pattern of dodging meaningful conversation—especially when it comes to the creation of the universe, a topic you both introduced to this thread and yet contributed nothing to. This makes it painfully clear that you're not interested in actual discourse. If won’t answer my questions, then why would you expect me to answer yours?

That said, the age of the Earth, and more importantly, the methods and underlying assumptions behind dating fossils and rocks, is a subject worth exploring. However, I won’t waste time on it here, where your input is as vacuous as ever. Instead, I’ll address it on the Origins Thread, where you’re free to continue offering absolutely no value to the conversation, as per usual.

Now, while many who adhere to the Intelligent Design model of the universe may generally accept an old Earth (such as Stephen J Meyer from the video above), it’s still an interesting area to examine the actual methods used to date rocks and fossils—and among other things, how those methods have failed spectacularly when confronted with rocks of known, recent formation.

I'll be taking a look at Mount St. Helens, for example. Rocks from the 1980 eruption were dated to be hundreds of thousands, even millions, of years old—a laughable discrepancy given that we know the rocks were freshly formed. Then there’s Mount Pinatubo, where lava flows from 1991 were assigned absurd ages, far older than the eruption itself. The Mendenhall Glacier’s retreat exposed rocks that were dated to tens of thousands of years older than the glacier itself. And, of course, rocks from Kīlauea in Hawaii, freshly formed during ongoing eruptions, were dated to millions of years—an outright farce, I'm sure you'd agree.
