There are several sets of pictures that everyone has been sending me lately that I have to send back with a link to a snopes article ...

They are still cool pictures, though.

FACTOID:
dousing yourself with baby powder prior to fiberglassing will clog your pores so the fiberglass doesn't get in. Then wash with COOL, NOT HOT, water and soap.

I always tell that to the high school kids before tehy fiberglass for me. I won't touch the stuff :biggrin:

Followup: another guy lived out at sea even longer! He managed by finding a raft:

In this photo released by the Arab-based container vessel Al Yamamah, a raft carrying tsunami survivor, Indonesian Ari Afrizal, drifts on the sea Sunday, Jan. 9, 2005 before being rescued and brought to the West Port, outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Ari, 21, says he drifted on the Indian Ocean for two weeks, living on coconuts that he pried open with his teeth while floating on pieces of wood, then a broken boat, and finally a fishing raft.

They Missed when he found the Contaniner ship - Keep him away from the USS Lincoln - he might upgrade again!

The bottom line is that there are MANY functions of the human body that simply don't work without corresponding parts. Evolution would require all those parts to evolve at exactly the same time to function. This is highly improbable at best, if you buy into the "duplication" theory of "adding information."

And you still haven't explained how non life became life.

Many of the theories I have posted are from AiG because they are one of a very few sites that do not compromise (IE Hugh Ross) their belief in biblical inerrancy just to fit man's fallible ideas. However, although I do rely heavily on the data, research and scientists that post on AiG, it is NOT the "wellspring of [my] belief".

Please do not try to speak for me, or in this case, assert where my beliefs spring from. You are not qualified to do so. I am perfectly capable of speaking for myself.

No it wouldn't. The current state of the human body is what it looks like after the corresponding parts have been working together for a long time. They haven't needed to work alone for long enough that they no longer can. And their function, when they worked alone, may not have been quite what their current function is.

What an unbelievably lucky person.
What are the odds of being hit by a tsunami, surviving that, and just when you need it most, you "find" a raft. Wow........................

Apparently good enough that it happened.

Say it with me now: "Luck is just function chance."

Considering the thousands that didn't find a raft I'd say the odds are pretty slim. :biggrin:

Ideally correct. "Luck is just function chance." [/quote]
The one who found the raft was "lucky". In a good way.

The 150,000 others that didn't- well they were "lucky" , too.........
.........in a bad way.
IMHO:
LUCK: what happens to you.
Luck should be (if it isn't) a slang word, which is to say , it could change it's definition from mind to mind; culture to culture.
Actually the term should, in all logical angles, be replaced with fate, or destiny.
One has no control as to the results of some situations, while others we can & do decide. The ones we can alter are in no way connected with luck. The ones we can....... well term it yourself. "Luck" works for me.
It's kind of like a global term.
Myself; I'm probably the unluckiest lucky sumbitch on this planet.
Luck can be bad. It can be good. In the end, it is all still "luck".
:juggle:

My father always used to say, "If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all." ;)

Capn, maybe the word you're looking for is 'lot', as in 'your lot in life'.
