Default Lego Dino/Human Thread should not have been moved

http://www.talkrational.org/showthread.php?t=5899

I'm not sure how you can get much more on-topic with the E&O forum than this thread ... dinosaurs ... early humans ... the question of co-existence ... early science education of young children.

Geez ... you people are so biased against my threads it's pathetic ... you don't even try to be subtle.

For those of you that are sick and tired of the biased mods here at TR ... I posted this same thread at IIDB ...
http://iidb.infidels.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=252787

Let's see what they do with it.

Oh? Sorry, I thought it was a thread using a lego set as evidence of geocentrism. Was I wrong? Were you actually using a lego set to prove a different point?

Sorry. I'm easily confused. You'll have to bear with me.

Good. Keep laughing and I'm going to quietly re-educate your kids.

That's really creepy. It's like saying, "I know where your family lives." or something along those lines.

My ten-year-old daughter knows more science than you do, so it'd be the other way around.

All the kids I know are smarter than you ( including my neighbor's 10-year-old who, a mere few months ago, laughed at how dull your arguments are). Oh, and they go to Sunday School every week...just not the exceptionally stupid kind that you promote.

Hey, Dave: do you think Barney, the purple dinosaur, is pretty good evidence for human-dinosaur coexistence?

Should E&O discuss the latest episode of "Barney"?

Dave, can you briefly summarise the point you were making in your OP? It wasn't clear to me.

It's obvious that the point is that creationism is CLEARLY correct because major scientific organizations like...ermm...Lego...have weighed in on the topic, throwing their expertise on the side of Godliness, truth and the American Way and that anyone who says nay is probably a homosexual commie a priori anti-supernaturalist with a hatred of Jesus and kittens and all that is good.

This thread offers some interesting perspective on Dave's Town Hall complaints in general.

I think the massive cognitive dissonance caused between Dave's fantasies and reality have finally caused him to snap.
