Early Man

No I haven't. Is it a good read?

I liked "American Gods" a lot.  It's a mythology-based fantasy in a modern setting and won the Hugo and Nebula awards (although there are lots of Hugo and Nebula winners that I think are not very good, so I don't consider it a perfect seal of approval).  HBO is working on a series based on it, but that is far from a sure thing and, even if done, would not happen for some years likely.

Well, one thing is clear.... there is no shortage of stupid people on planet Earth.

Got that right. Look the potus.

aside from the 6,000 year old earth theory, nothing else has been categorically or emphatically disproven.

Don't you mean "empirically disproved" ?

Because there wasn't a distinct group called "the Norse" when everyone was Proto-Germanic.

I was using "Norse" in the sense of those tribes living in Scandinavia (i.e., a location-based distinction of where the tribes lived).  You are using "Norse" to mean tribes during a particular time period in Scandinavia.  Your definition might be the more-correct one.  It is certainly more specific.

Actually, that sounds pretty awesome. Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to look into it!

I wounder where Skuzzy is... Usually threads like these are shot down faster than me flying a fighter

I think he's been slackin a little lately 

In other news...

I think the front page video looks very nice, can't wait for updates on it 

(Can we all change the subject or completely abandon this thread? So we don't have anymore purse fights or chest thumps or ankle humping anywhere? Please?)

From the very first post, this thread has been a parody of a religious discussion. Nothing more.

Speaking of "early man", Jean-Jacques Annaud's "La guerre du feu" (English title: "Quest for fire") is a very good film about the subject. Also it's Ron Perlman's debut film. Plus, Rae Dawn Chong is nude the whole film...

The only problem I have with the belief of creationism that the earth is only 6,000 years old is that (prove me if I'm wrong):

 you haven't studied
 geology,
climatology
paleontology
archaeology
biology
chemistry
Botany
Astronomy
anthropology
and many more Ideologies and conducted studies concerning life, earth characteristics, and/or atmospheric characteristics to be able to make a legit argument that the earth is only 6,000 Years Old
and Taking classes doesn't count.
The only reason why you believe that (sorry no disrespect) is because some priest who didn't study this either forced you to believe that people who actually study these things for a living are wrong.
The 6,000 year old earth is an irrational, illogical argument, with no way of proving that your theory is right, compared to the substantial amount of scientific  evidence against it.

.         Man made the formula that  tells the computer what the carbon 14 test date stuff.  It is harder to wrap your head around the thought of earth being here for millions of years.  It is easier to believe the 6,000 year theory. 6,000 is more consistence with proof of civilization.

This is what's called a Personal Incredulity Logical Fallacy.  Just because something's harder to believe (...you're right...a magic sky wizard doing it all in a week with no materials make much more sense) has no bearing on the validity of the argument.

It's what's called "trolling"...
