I knew someone would notice... they suited the baby blue perfectly... The camo not so much!

Sorry if you can't see it . Need to get a new set of Inspired stickers off Dave and some Tarty ones from Ads and she'll be done . Probably not to everyone's tastes but quite fun to do! Now the question is do I spray the forks as well? There are always going to be white highlights on it (white stickers, pedals, saddle graphics etc) so I think I'll leave them for now but what do we think?

Most of Cliffords clips were pisstakes foo'.

I still can't help feeling that the majority of the program uses actors or whatever though and all the 'giraffe' imagery, for example, is just bullshit to make it seem plausible. But then again I am the worlds biggest sceptic.

Just watched it on +1. Pile of wank.

I just filled in a P46 for my new job and there was a little 'check this box if you have a student loan and finished your higher degree before the Xth April of whatever'. That unfortunately means I'm now going to have to start paying it back... It should appear as a separate deduction on your payslip though.

Please do some trials though... What you do is really pretty sweet but without linking it with trials you're always going to get the 'get a BMX' comments and for the most part they're right. You've spent hundreds of dollars on making a silly light trials bike that you never use for trials in any shape or form. I'd also liked to have seen a vid on your Inspired!

Are you lumping people who know that evolution (something along those lines) are the sort of whackos that believe in the bigfoot and Nessie? Because on that front I 100% agree with JT- those sorts of people are very few and far between but share far more with Religious nuts. And please don't tell me you'd like kids to be taught about creationism in school? If you start teaching that bollocks you may as well teach them that the Holocaust never happened and the 9/11 attacks were gods will. As JT said, your 'evidence' isn't really evidence but an inability to see how amazing and adaptable life (and evolution) is. There's also a huuuuuge difference between thinking the complexity of life is too complex to occur by itself and accepting 'creationism' which teaches that god made the world in 6 days and that's that. Now I really quite detest the idea of 'God' in any form. At worst it doesn't exist in the minutest form (or can be attributed to something inanimate like FeS) and at best the seeds for life were planted by visiting extraterrestrial beings who planted the seeds for life... which to be fair isn't really that likely. Finally, I don't see the slightest similarity between a motor and a cell. Except that they're both vaguely round... Nope. Can't see it myself!

That's the bit that doesn't sound too light to me though! Anything made of rubber but which is semi-rigid isn't going to be featherweight...

He has got a point though . There really isn't. If you look for evidence of the truth behind anything in the bible (and therefore creationism) I think you'll be sadly disappointed. The truth is the only evidence ever found has made the creation theory laughable. As far as I'm aware there is literally zero evidence for anything that occurs in the bible... that combined with the idea that the entire things was written by humans is enough, in my mind, to make the entire thing (christianity, creationism, the bible) a big pile of turd. Then people start saying 'ah, but the bible isn't meant to be taken literally'... that's just an excuse to try and make the drivel they spout make some kind of sense in our modern educated society. I simply can't understand how any human with a brain could possibly accept the bibles version of the creation of the Universe. I'm with Deonn h on that one.

Sounds heavy.

I knew the FeS thing had some basis in science but had totally forgotten what!

Sorry Ben! These threads always tend to become polar and people like Mr O'Connor stand out as the ones who I automatically pick up on as being living in a dream world. The differentiation between 'God' the Christian creation and God the random entity that may exist and may be the 'initial cause' or whatever is very different and I understand that. It's just difficult to remove the bible and Christianity from the abstract theory of God because the two are always so closely linked.

'A bit far fetched' is the understatement of the century in my case. The whole thing is 100% preposterous in my mind (good word, that) and I'm just disappointed that so many young people these days still believe it. My gran going to church is one thing but to have some dude (sorry to pick on you Mr O'Connor) who rides trials and listens to death metal telling me that everything in the bible is 100% accurate and it's all true because the bible says so just makes my heart sink at the ignorance.

It's all down to amino acids isn't it? They in themselves are inanimate but occur naturally and join to form proteins. (And, with the help of Wikipedia) that leads us to the almighty FeS which has been proposed as the origin of the very first organic material: That or God of course which leads me back to God being FeS.

Christian's only gave it the identity and wrote a book about it. Gods were a way of explaining away events in the world that weren't understood at the time. The Greeks obviously spring to mind with Thor being the God of thunder getting angry or whatever. Gods have always been a human creation to try and explain away what we don't understand. In the case of the major organised religions they've just been promoted by greed and exploitation of the weak which for some crazy reason has allowed them to endure. Unfortunately.

I think it's a fictional vehicle called the gyronocaropteriplane. I think I may write a book about it and see if I can get some people to believe me and maybe start some fights with anyone who tries to call it a car. Maybe then imprison and torture anyone who says it's a car until they also believe it's a gyronocaropteriplane. That could work... and I might even be able to make some money along the way too... don't think that business plan has ever been carried out in history. Now to put together a pitch for Dragons' Den...

A lot of riders don't even use the seat for barspins these days though.

The day it becomes cool to run BMXes without seats (that day will come...) is the day it'll be cool to run 24" trials bikes without seats.

I can imagine some serious slagging matches going on in there too! Like the TGS debate but about who first created light and who thought the Platypus would be a good idea...

I think you'll find, in the 34 page previous topic, we discovered that the meaning of life, and the catalyst for creation, was FeS. I forget why.

Get a job you bum!!

See above. Chernobyl and evolution is quite different. The mutations caused by radiation affected the genetics of the parents and the resulting children have genetic defects which has resulted in cancers and all sorts of other medical problems. The mutation is in their genes and if they have kids, the problems will most likely be passed on. The flu thing is also more a mutation than evolution. The bacteria builds an immunity to the drugs we create to kill them and when that happens we have to make up a new strain (and name) for the virus. Do you ever think... life could only possibly exist on this planet because it's the correct distance from the sun? One feeds the other, not the other way round. Your 'fluke of rubbish' theory is just plain and simple ignorance born from your blindness to anything other than what your book tells you. To me it's nothing to do with 'belief'. I know both sides of the story, reasonably well in both cases. One side has absolutely zero basis in anything even remotely sensible, reasonable or possible. The other actually has a fair amount of fact, sense and possibility behind it. Without being too nasty, everything you say comes back to your ignorance. You simply don't seem to have a clue about anything to do with evolution, space, genetics, science even. I don't mean to be condescending (although I know I'm quite good at doing it unintentionally) but you (and possibly most other people who believe in creationism (Hannah ) seem to be uneducated in anything relating to the scientific theories which you're so willing to dismiss. Open your eyes dude... it often helps you to see what's in front of your nose.
