Oh HELL yes we get them. Oddly, Louie is the one who experiences them

A scientist believing in a God? *I find this notion quite worrying given
that science is based on evidence whereas there's actually no evidence
of a God... *I hope he doesn't use faith as a guide when conducting

Many fine scientists believe in god. The evolutionary biologist Ken
Miller is a Roman Catholic. It is not impossible to use the tools of
science for scientific activities and run the rest of ones life on
other principles.

Remarkably, some people are capable of keeping faith and science
distinct from one another, like keeping one's personal life out of
one's work. My husband is not a participant of tins group. Please
refrain from passing judgement, or ridiculing, a person who is not
here to defend his position.

I'm not ridiculing... just passing critical comment. *If you're not
happy with remarks referencing him then surely the wisest move would be
not to mention him along with details in the first place?

I'm not a deist at all but I find you offensive and, I suspect,
deliberately offensive.
Why don't you go **** up a rope?

7/10 on the troll-o-meter. Good try, but the subject matter is a little
dated for Usenet.

Strange how when you hit a nerve with some residents of Usenet, instead
of engaging in intelligent discussion, the just throw the old troll card
at you...

It's just like a magic spell... whispered on a Sunday... Meaningless.

You are a troll. This is not a magic spell, it is a well-defined word,
although occasionally abused. You fit the definition perfectly.

Gosh! *You folks are a fickle bunch!

If the poster didn't want someone to critique the idea of science and
religion... then surely the best course of action to avoid such input
would be to refrain from bringing the subject up in the first place?

I understand Usenet is a very territorial place... but surely that
doesn't remove the ability to look at things with a wider mind?

There was no direct insult if you care to look at the post without the
blinkers... I was just reflecting on the irony of a scientist being
religious...

My apologies that it appears to have passed way over your head...

Look, it isn't our fault that your mom's a whore and can't stay home
to take care of you.

Visits by pets that have gone beyond are _not_ indoctrinated into
religious people. Finding any organized religion that would even
consider an afterlife for pets would be very difficult.

Really? Given that the Egyptians were frequently buried with their pets
it's pretty safe to assume this myth has passed the test of time. Also,
a simple Google search shows many mainstream religions promote such
notions. Christianity being one of them...

So... Not sure where you're getting your info from... but it's wrong.

I don't suppose anyone would have a recipe...

When you're unable or unwilling to delve into the realms of belief with
someone who questions it... get the recipes out

How predictable...

This thread wasn't ABOUT religious beliefs, you bonehead. We were
talking about remembering our pets who had passed away, you unpleasant
piece of ****. And you decided to interrupt where no one was talking
about what you wanted to discuss.

Your comments would hold water if Sweep hadn't been in the rest of the
rooms a lot too.

We used to have a cat and although we have a large garden... it used to
**** on the same tree every time...

What might they refer to?

It thought the tree was your mom?

Yeah... He wrote a book about evolution... which, if I'm not mistaken,
completely contradicts the Bible... The thing is with religious
books... they evolve over time to fit the science of the day... which
kinda puts their credibility into question. Wouldn't you agree?

Obviously a cat will urinate in the same place, for a while, until it
moves it's territory marking to somewhere else. However Sweep never
urinated in the house and didn't mark out her territory in that bedroom
more than anywhere else.

Did you have a web-cam set up to monitor it 24/7? No, of course you
didn't... so you have no way of knowing what the cat did in there whilst
you weren't present.

All cats I've know spray in the house... unless yours are a different
kind of cat?
