My point is that Rick wants to be taken seriously when discussing
technical matters whilst at the same time he believes that the Earth was
created in six days several thousand years ago and that all the evidence
to the contrary (such as fossils) are an invention of Satan -- he just
isn't credible. Normally I wouldn't bother but as he irritatingly spams
his insane beliefs to the group he is fair game.

I do not believe that. And the evidence does not show millions of
years. They've found blood cells and soft tissue in dinosaur bones
they claim are 65M years old. It's not possible.

You have been wrong in your assumptions about me from day one. I've
asked you to go to the Bible directly, to other people, to seek out
the information I've posted written by other people. You've refused
all of it. Your place of ignorance will be your dwelling place until
you die, or seek to move.
 
I'm done trying to teach someone so stolid and unyielding. I've
reached out how many times (only to be mocked at every time)?

"Holier than Thou"
 
"characterized by an attitude of moral superiority"
 
synonyms: Sanctimonious, self-righteous, smug, self-satisfied.

It is even simpler than that I'm afraid Ian: recent scientific studies
(2017) show that the so called dinosaur blood cells and soft tissue found
in fossils are just recent (i.e. thousands of years old) foreign organic
matter that invaded the cavities of pre-existing fossils this matter being
unrelated to dinosaurs. Of course Rick will react to that attack on his
world-view by either denying that scientific finding outright or by again
claiming it is the "work of Satan".

Surely you mean /the rest of us/ are fair game.

We must keep in mind that Satan was (is?) the GOOD GUY in Christian belief.
 
While their psychopathic God took delight in murdering newborn
Egyptians, making Abraham /nearly/ kill his child, making an Israeli
general /actually/ kill his child (just because she was the first person
he saw when he got home), and killing off the whole population of Earth
in a flood, and making laws where children should be stoned to death for
disobeying their parents, and so on and so forth, including the original
sin which he orchestrated and then relentlessly punished mankind for,
while their God did all that
 
their Satan the Deserter from God tried his somewhat incompetent best to
make people think for themselves and turn away from God's authoritarian
terror regime, promising them heaven on Earth (just a forecast) if they
did, which of course -- as today -- they refused to do...
 
And here we are.
 
More seriously, I think it's fair to conclude that the authoritarianism
of the three Abrahamistic religions has had mostly negative influence on
the development of a technological civilization, especially in Europe,
suppressing science there for roughly 2000 years, but also in the Middle
East, where they never got out of that religious morass. Rick is an
example that even in Europe and the US there are people who never got
out, who still deny science. Stat fact (by Gallup): 80% of US citizens
disbelieve evolution, they think the Christian God had a hand in it...
 
 
Cheers!,

Ah, the irony. :)
