    Admittedly you did put it better...probably becasue you're mulitple!:)

    The ratio between my scientific competence (even as a Creation Scientist) and JC's can't be expressed in single-scientist units. Besides, I'm pretty sure we've already established elsewhere that I'm actually a multi-core AI system.

    :D

    What are (creationist) scientist units a measure of then?

    Yes and how is your mental visual imagery department doing? I think we established last time out that it was a bit overactive....!

    Hmm. Bamboozlement? As in "the speech contained 10 CS of bamboozlement"? Or perhaps pseudoscience - as in "the health food ad contains 2 CS of pseudoscience".

    To be fair, though, 1 CS of pseudoscience is a very large measure.

    Best described as quiescent at the moment, I think. Nothing has set it off recently, anyway, apart from the rapidly evolving chicken farm.

    Ahh so essentially it's one grade more acute than BS?
    I love the ingenius afterthought that 1 CS is a very large measure as this supports your initial claim of you being more CS than JC.
    From you inital explanation of the measurement I would've though JC's levels of CS would of been off the chart, so nice appendage!

    Kilos of horse****, pace John Scalzi.

    And should the fundamental unit really be a kiloham? Defined as the amount of horse**** that one creationist can copy'n'paste from AiG in one hour?

    Nice appendage...? Oh well. Yes, my claim is that I can generate far larger quantities of pseudoscience, and of a much higher quality, than JC. Since I'm not a Creation Scientist, and JC is the only one I know, I have to describe that capability as being several CS - indeed, we may well be talking an order of magnitude or more - kilocreationists , maybe.

    I think you're thinking of Larry Flint. Actually, my visual imagery department is not specifically sexual - I was rather pleased by the visual image of a chicken farmer looking at the newly hatched chicks and scratching his head, while around him beasts of all sorts tended their completely different offspring.

    Nice image, but I wonder why no creationist has ever bothered peering down a microscope and actually tried to pin down this rapid speciation?

    I mean, with bacteria splitting as fast as every twenty minutes, it's a wonder they don't evolve into spaceships over a wet weekend.

    Kiloham!! Brilliant, if we keep this uo we'll have a complete scientific method of measuring creationist activity.

    Forecast for this thread Saturday the 5th January:

    Expect early lashings of indestigable CS follwed by blankets of thinly disguised Kilohams moving in from the south. Later in the day it will clear however but there may well be intermittent CS throughout. Sunday and an area of low pressure kiloham will collide with a high pressure area and casue severe outpours of CS, it is advisble therefore to remain offline if possible.

    Would ALL these mentions of horse excrement be 'Sour Grapes'......I wonder???:confused::D:)

    ......and the 'steaming pile' that is Materialistic Evolution......is on such a scale that it is looking like becoming a greater environmental threat than Chernobyl!!!:D:)

    ....and I think that your idea of naming a fundamental scientific unit after Dr. Ken Ham is a very good and magnanamous gesture...... and only fitting for somebody who has contributed so much to modern science.

    Could I suggest that a 'Ham' would be an appropriate scientific name for a 'Created Kind'......and where uncertainty exists about a particular group of organisms.......you could then have a 'Kind of a Ham'!!!!!!:D

    From one multi-core AI sytem to another I'd just like to say you've got nice appendages...where's the harm in that?

    Bacteria evolve/speciate......but always within their Kind......ah em ......I mean Ham!!!:D:)

    Funnily enough I have tried to deny my parents' existence for a long time - but when I am in trouble I run back to Mummy and Daddy.

    'Cos I know I came from somewhere.

    Great that you have come to accept your parents as 'Mummy and Daddy'.....

    .......now would you like to be able to call the Creator God of the Universe your 'Abba'......or 'Daddy'??

    ......you can claim this birthright......if you become a Saved Christian!!!:D

    Presumably their 'kind' is bacteria - or possibly "microscopic animalcules". Bear in mind they're not mentioned in the Bible, because it's not a science textbook.

    Pft...you are forgetting your role as a Creation Scientist - it's a Baramin, remember? As in Baraminology, the study of Created Kinds?

    It used be a Baramin.......but now, by overwhelming scientific acclaim .......it is apparently to be called a Ham!!!:D:)

    We're getting an 88 on metacritic and 79% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

    The New York Times praised a strong casting all round, however criticising the obvious placement of Wicknight to appeal to a female fan base.

    The Chicago bulletin describes it as:
    "A swirling cauldron of emoticons and Darwinian lore"

    The Times:
    "Contains the most well rendered lion eating deep sea fried zebra scene you're likely to ever see."
