If at all :-)
But you can say it in your head or say it out loud with a challenging 
look. So that they know you are winding them up. ;-)

I take no responsibility for any actions that are not my own.
BTW This product may contain nuts.

Oh, no, there would be a wake-up period.  Otherwise there's no point to 
the exercise. ;)

Now *that* I have been known to do.  Usually a smirk does it.

Funny thing is, no, it doesn't. It only doesn't admit those things without 
evidence.

(Que inevitable string of YouTube comments seriously claiming the moon 
landings were fake. Some faggots really crave attention...)

The trouble is, if you get an experimental result and say "it must have 
been caused by magic"... that explains EVERY POSSIBLE RESULT. Which is 
to say, it's in irrefutable claim.

A lot of people don't seem to understand this. Science is not the study 
of things which are TRUE, only things which are PROVABLE. So even if God 
DID create the universe, we can never prove nor disprove this, so EVEN 
IF IT IS TRUE, it's not science. And never will be.

Behe basically argued that limiting science to things which can be 
explained rationally is "too limiting". By which he means "doesn't allow 
me to claim that the Christian Holy Bible is science". :-P
