Man is as intelligent as God

[_DrW]

I am happy for you. And you can have the satisfaction of knowing that I will be still be trying to figure out how wrong I am while transferring my share of our next funds transfer from Oman into my bank account.

Just out of curiosity, please explain one statement. You said "If EVERYTHING were negotiable, we could have walked into the hotels (the Ramada, for example) and obtained a rate that was lower than the posted rate."

Did you really not know that people do exactly that, walk into hotels and negotiate for a far lower price?

The problem is not that you do not know, it is that you are so oblivious to what you do not know. And arrogant about what is clearly not there.

"Clearly not there" as in the wire transfer shown below for $55, 460 made in November for work performed by two of us in October?

DrW,

What a pity it is when belief meets proof. You believe you are a man of the world and know just about everything. Then you are called out and must provide proof. So how does it feel to be a Christian for a moment?

Franktalk,

Sorry, but you will need to explain to me why it is a pity when belief meets proof. You lost me on that one.

Also, not sure that one post makes me Christian (even for a moment). Used to be a Mormon though, and still am technically, I suppose.

I don't claim to know much, but what I do know is important to me because I have tried to take the time to test what I think I know against the relevant physical evidence.

And I do agree with you that evidence (or to use your term, proof) is a wonderful thing.

Your post leaves one to wonder why an individual who values proof does not base his worldview on more fact and less fantasy.

Because I pity you DrW. You live in proofland. It is such a limited reality. I think we can know something because our inward detector of truth can tell us when we come across truth. You on the other hand reject anything that does not have a paper trail. Like I said I pity you.

So, Bhodi is Belmont, right?

Don't know.

Same MO.

Same BS.

I appreciate your concern.

However, I cannot put much faith or credence in a "truth detector" that led humankind to the inquisition and which, in the hands of faithful Mormons like yourself, has been used to justify the priesthood ban for Blacks, disregard for the rights of women, polygamy, polyandry, adultery, and fraud and, as strongly suggested by evidence in the case of Brigham Young, conspiracy to commit murder.

Just so we understand one another.

You should feel honored, DrW. He only harasses people who threaten his testimony.

The same truth detector Frank uses, is the selfsame detector used by Warren Jeffs and his followers to validate their beliefs.

Even if we limit that detector to those that follow Joseph Smith we find...
