Michael Myers afraid; A single microbe went **poof** and started to swim around in very hostile
slimy primordial waters. It said to itself: "I am lonely", so it divided itself in two. Then,
it divided itself into three, then into millions and millions of other species. This was one
smart microbe.
A couple of these species no longer liked the neighborhood. So over millions of years they tried
and tried to grow legs, arms and lungs until finally they did. So on to land they go. But they
too got lonely. What did they do? They divided themselves into millions and millions of other
species as before. It worked the first time right?
But alas, a few of them got fed up with how things were run on land and they yearned for the
good old days in the sea that their ancestors talked so much about. So they dove back and forth
from water to land and for millions of years. And waited. They waited millions of years for
their legs to return to fins and for their gills to grow back. And when they did, off into the
water they went. I bet they looked pretty silly when they had half legs half fins.
These new sea-to-land-and-back-to-the-sea creatures divided themselves yet again,despite the
fact there was no need to be lonely anymore, over the next many millions of years and one of
them became a dolphin. And THAT is why Dolphins are so fast.

"So over millions of years they tried and tried to grow legs, arms and
lungs until finally they did."
You choice of words says again a lot about your understanding: "tried to
grow...".
At least this explains WHY you still don't get it.
But not for you I am afraid, since you propably think that the above
nonsense is the centerpiece in modern evolutiontheory.
Your sillyness keeps surprising me.
Why don't you follow my earlier advise and FIRST read a good book on
evolution before trying to debunk it?
Look Madman,
How would you respond if I stated the following:
"According to The Holy Bible everything that looks green is actually
brown.", only to conclude: "Look how stupid that Bible is! It says that
green is actually brown!"
How much sense does that make?
My text isn't even in the bible.
Can you see the analogy?
You are making up trees, and then bark against them.
Don't you see your approach is doomed to failure?
First understand, then attack. OK? (Ask Sun Tzu.)

Here is another one:
Once upon a time there was a cosmic Jewish zombie who was his own
father who can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh
and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so
that he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in all
humans because a woman made from a rib was convinced by a talking

Speaking from experience, I can tell you that a terrible grasp of
probabilities, or even a "magical thinking" approach to mathematics, are
not a severe handicap in most roleplaying games. I've seen otherwise
intelligent people argue passionately over whether a die that has just
rolled two sixes is unusually likely to roll another six, or due to roll
a few ones to balance out the sixes.

Was that a well-run game? Did they predicate success at tasks on the
notion that certain dice were "six-happy" or "six-shy"?

So Adman claims to be an Essene, eh?
Well, unless he's a a time-travelling Jew form 2000 years ago, at best
he's a pseudo-Essene.
J. Gordon Melton in his Encyclopedia of American Religions states that
the modern Pseudo-Essene movement possesses no authentic historical ties
to the ancient Essene movement. Melton states, "Essene material is
directly derivative of two occult bestsellers — The Aquarian Gospel of
Jesus the Christ, by Levi H. Dowling; and The Mystical Life of Jesus, by
Rosicrucian author H. Spencer Lewis."
These modern pseudo-Essenes are nothing but a new-agey Christians with a
mysticalist and occultist bent.
Were Adman a *true* Essene, he'd be an ascetic, celibate Jew living in a
monastery with no access to a computer and the Internet.

Sometimes, yes. "Ooh, this is a tough roll to make. Hand me that blue
d20, it's rolled two ones this session and should be due for a high roll."
> I was convinced that one particular purple d20 was cursed. Never could

"Darths and Droids" has a few paragraphs on the subject that reflect my
experience perfectly:
"If dice are random, then it doesn't matter if you're superstitious
about them. But if they're not... well, you better make sure you do the
right thing and treat them properly. No use taking risks now, is there?"
http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0099.html
(Actually, the webcomic itself is quite worthwhile, although it's
probably dependent enough on the culture that people who aren't
roleplayers won't grok most of the humor.)
Humans seem inclined to mysticism and ritual, as we don't like things
that appear random or unconnected. We try to impose patterns and rules
on everything we see, and it seems most people prefer hypotheses that
feel intuitive and give us some control over our environments. "Storing
the dice with the highest number facing upward 'recharges' their luck"
seems preferable to "the rolls are truly random and there's nothing I
can do to influence them."
This isn't entirely a bad thing, as it's a product of our curiosity and
high intelligence. The only real difference between this sort of b-grade
mysticism and science is science systematically tests its conclusions,
and discards those not supported by the evidence.

For some reason, I get the impression that you think you're comming
across as "clever", and not as a simpering moron with the mental age
of a 5 year old spoiled brat with a learning disability. You really
should look into seeing a shrink, if you think you are being clever,
or if you think you're making some sort of point, or if you think that
you are doig is 'amusing". There is something mentally wrong with you
if you need to come across as a retarded jerk in order to gain
attention and self actualization. How is being a full-time asshole,
self fulfilling, anyway? I'm just curious as to what possible
motivation you, assman, have, that makes you think that posting your
obvious willfy malicious, imatire, ignorant and arrogant crud, makes
you feel better about yourself?
Don't bother with your bullcrap "no, that would be you", since that
would only prove my point that you are in need of an inteview and
evaluation with a mental health expert. Just answer the question:
Why do you think making yourself look like a pig-ignorant, arrogant

To you, it would. But since you're a scientific illiterate
that's to be expected. What a shame that, unlike religion,
science has actual evidence which supports its claims.
Science is for adults; enjoy your pacifier.

One does not have to be a "scientific literate" to realize much of evolution is a guess and some
of it a down right lie.

Ah, you misunderstood me. What you describe is harmless (was the
person serious?) What would make for a bad game is if the GM said,
"You've rolled 3 17's in a row now, so you're obviously on a hot
streak. So I am making this task more difficult than normal- you need
a 19 instead of a 15 to succeed."
Semi-serious superstition is funny. The real thing is annoying.

Heh. No, I don't know of anybody who has done that. Seems like it would
violate one's sense of fairness.

Meh. I'm not personally bothered by people who sincerely think that
carrying a rabbit's foot brings luck, or that opening an umbrella
indoors causes misfortune, or that the omniscient and omnipotent creator
of the universe listens to THEM, specifically, over all others, and will
indulge their spoken wishes. At worst I feel a sense of gentle pity;
this behavior betrays a serious misunderstanding of the way the universe
works.
Ye Old One
Go on, find a lie, I dare you.
I know you are a very forgetful person, or at least you like to run
away and try to forget things. However, on the 29th September 2008 you
failed to deal with a number of items that were first listed by
Boikat.
So, to help you, here (again) are the mistakes Boikat (and now myself)
think you need to address:-
Claiming the actor Paul Newman was a creationist....
Claiming that "Dr." Kent Hovind has made lots of *scientific*
discoveries...
Claiming wars have been fought because some scientific finding
discredited some facet of some religion...
Claiming to have a "higher education" than most posters to this news
group....
Claiming to understand how geologists determine the age of any given
sample of rock...
Now, will you deal with them? Or do I need to keep reminding you?

Actually, one does, since science, unlike religion, requires
a knowledge of what constitutes evidence, thoughtful
consideration of the actual evidence, and a mind not closed
by preconceptions. Since you possess none of these your
opinions regarding science are not only wrong, they're
irrelevant.
But please, tell the group which parts of "evolution" are
"guesses" and which are "down right (sic) lies".

That's what I meant by running a bad game.

To the extent that those do not impinge on me personally, I also don't
care. But in a real-life case- my wife insisted on changing our
daughter's cell phone number (after she'd had it a year or more!)
because it had too many 4's in it, and 4 is bad luck in China, since
the character resembles the character for death.
I love my wife, but...that's annoying.

But Jade is OK, right? You have me worried, what with all those 4s.

Heh, yes, everyone is fine. Better than ever, in fact...all doing
well. Jade turned 15 this past November and will be 22 next year, it
seems like.

Lack of answer noted. Again.
You really should stop making assertions when they only lead
to the public display, yet again, of your lack of any sort
of knowledge in the areas you attack.

I now understand why 16 is so dangerous an age.

Japan has similar superstitions about the number 4.

I know precisely what you mean; I dated a creationist for a while.
