Darwinism vs. Intelligent Design - good take on this issue

[simulatedworld]

Intelligent design isn't really necessary.

Well that's the beauty of faith, isn't it?

 

[Lark]

I think this is a bit daft, Darwinism is a totally dated and out moded idea, intelligent design is just warmed over creationism which is dated too, the old movies with James Stewart were he's a school teacher in a court room debating teaching science in school should have finished this.

To be honest I see this a fight back by conservative and time specific Christians, generally literalists, because any thinking Christian would realise that projecting anthropocentric understandings upon to God is heretical and futile anyway.

Maybe Darwinism is a part of Intelligent design.

I always did enjoy the exotic culinary tastes of the colonies.

The British were incredibly inventive: arriving at a swelteringly hot place with virtually no meat eaters. What does a fellow do? He concocts a marinade from local spices that disguises the rankness of the meat.

And it's good for breakfast.

That's evolution.

Ha haaa...

Jolly good..

EDIT: deep down, I'm a sarcastic limey Brit.

And then, you might wonder why the British cuisine is considered to be amongst the worst (if not the worst) in the world.... :rolli:

Despite our efforts to educate them, our northern neighbours never acquired any true notion of taste (or else they wouldn't have invented the infamous roast Lamb with Mint sauce)...

Maybe it's time for Norman Conquest 2.0?

I had a chat with an old pal some time ago. He is a chef in a restaurant in West London. Apparently, the English were fairly inventive pre-Reformation. The ennui that is English cuisine stems from the conflict between Puritans & the Anglican Church.

Yeah that makes sense. Reject the one truth faith and your cuisine turns to shit.

 

[matmos]

"Shit". I say, Pegay.

I think that compliment is highly understated. Profunctory shit would ring a truer chord.

 

[Blackmail!]

By the way, my dear Bananatrombones, isn't it the countess Bathory on your new avatar?

Well spotted, that Frenchy!

At least we have some culture in this dead parrot thread.

How are you today, Pegay?

Well...

If you can explain through theology the common trend between British, Belgian and Israeli cuisines (the only contestants for the most tasteless cuisine ever invented), I'm all ears.

You know, there's a curious French theory that explain that if the Walloons never were accepted as true French (despite being native French speakers), it's because they have adopted the waterzooi. Have you ever been able to withstand the sight of a waterzooi plate? Frankly, my twisted mind can't think of something more depressing and... liquid.

While on the other hand, if Alsatians are French (despite being native German speakers), it's because they invented the Munster cheese.
On the other bank of the Rhine, it is almost considered as a chemical weapon directly aimed at them.

Well, there's nothing like a big slice of cheese to take the taste away. With a glass of Port. And a cigar.

In England, the best part of the meal is when it's over.

Well I suspect it's just part of the larger contrast often seen between Catholic and Protestant cultures; in that Catholic cultures usually tend to have a more festive, sensual, one could even say "erotic" sense of piety that's usually lacking in many Protestant cultures. English historian Christopher Dawson summarised this contrast by stating: "The bourgeois culture has the mechanical rhythm of a clock, the Baroque the musical rhythm of a fugue or a sonata."

"The bourgeois culture has the mechanical rhythm of a clock, the Baroque the musical rhythm of a fugue or a sonata."

And a country that has had a bourgeois revolution marches to the mechanical rhythm of a clock, whereas countries loyal to the rule of law dance to the musical rhythm of a fugue or a sonata.
