Hubbard being an excellent Sci-fi author (my favorite book of his is

I'm not aware of that book. There is The Man Who Fell to Earth, but
that wasn't written by Lron.


Dammit. I got the name wrong... I work nights, been up since 8 PM last
night. WTF was the name of the book about the kid that was raised by
martions, then brought back to earth and he had to adjust to our culture?
The kids name was Michael IRRC. I've not read the book in several
years...

Sorry!


stranger in a strange land. but it was written by Robert Heinlein.


There are many that believe that, due to the racial diversity etc.,
that earth was colonized by various humanoids and we did not evolve
here.

Idiots might believe that.


Who's to say they are wrong? ;-)

I'm not saying I believe that, just that I am open to any possibility.

That type of argument is like

"Bob shot someone"

"Yeah, but don't you remember when Don hit that guy with a bat?"

Stranger in a Strange Land, perhaps? That was a Heinlein.


THANK YOU!!!
So many of my wicca and sci-fi books got destroyed in that damned flood.
:-( I need to do some re-ordering of Heinlein and Scott Cunningham.


I really like scott cunningham's books.

Not really... Even the fossil evidence does not explain the extreme
racial diversity?

But, other things do. I'll leave it for you to find them.

Spoilsport! :-)

I got into that for the sheer fun of it.
Why won't you play along?

Because you're a witch. No...wait...

Did you happen to see the PBS (might've been Nova) show about Evolution 2

It has about as much credibility as creationism, in that you have
completely ignore all the real evidence in favor of magical crap.

Psst....wanna buy a crystal?



ROFL!!!

Ever been to the quartz crystal mines in Hot Springs Arkansas?
A rockhound paradise!

One does not have to believe in the mystical powers of crystals to enjoy
their sheer psychedelic beauty. :-)

No, but I have a friend who knows some great sources of Herkimer diamonds.
If I told you where, I'd have to l*** your p**** until you **i*t**.

What? You had to go to school to learn the basic logic of, if you
stick your hand in the fire, it hurts, if you don't stick your hand in
the fire, it doesn't?

That's not logic. That's instinct.

I know BSA won't accept atheists as members but I'm not sure that getting a

No question. I just have a problem with an organization that requires
religious worship. It's not any of their business whether a family
attends church or not, and if they do, what church they go to.

An organization that meets in schools, is what I should have said. If
a private organization requires you to wear chickens on your butt to be
a member, I don't care. Sorry I wasn't clear. I blame being tired from
staying up too late to watch the eclipse on NASA tv.

Nope. Instinct would have prevented you from putting your hand in the

I doubt there was ever a merit badge for atheists, considering the BSA's
general stance on religion.

LOL... you know I meant the UU church's tolerance of atheists, right??
