  • HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two)

    Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation)

    if you see any problems - please post them in the Troubleshooting board!

No, that's the problem.

They did the equivalent of citing a website that claims to have a study showing the earth is flat and ignored everything else that contradicted what they wanted everyone to hear. They made claims for it - as the casino huckster always does - that are not in line with the reserved quality of mention that scientific studies USUALLY attract. (It also doesn't make sense; immortality awaits the person who determines the instrumental cause of autism to the exclusion or near exclusion of everything else. If the scientists who did this Tylenol test were as certain All-Butt and Covfeve-oh, they'd be blowing that trumpet of discovery loud. The fact they didn't but Hiss and Heroin did really says all that needs to be said about the reliability of the White House PR).

Let me give a parallel nobody else would know about: my online religion nemesis has concocted the theory that the oldest "near complete" copy of the NT in Greek (Sinaiticus) is a 19th century forgery. Basically, he's a KJVO nut who wants to be able to dismiss evidence he doesn't like (sound familiar anyone?) and he does the same narcissistic playbook we've come to expect from the White House Medicine Man. (Coincidentally, this moron is also from Queens).

Here's what he does:
- he takes the discredited claim to authorship of a guy in 1862
- quotes a book from 1907 saying the issue had never been resolved (to that time)
- ignores all the quotes in the 1907 book that cause him problems
- finds "proof" in the most bizarre places that isn't proof, it's just speculation he calls proof

I've taunted him more than once, though, pointing out to him, "If you actually HAD EVIDENCE of what you're saying, you'd go down in history as one of the most famous researchers of NT paleography who ever lived, remarkable for a guy who cannot even read Greek".

But he has none. Instead, he uses known truths to "suggest" that this manuscript was forged and everybody knows it, but they're all part of the con job themselves or if not, they're just stupid.

He whines nobody has chemically tested the manuscript - because that's not how they're dated.

He quotes a renowned scholar telling that the day people showed up to "test" the manuscript, they were cancelled, but this moron left his blog on public settings and a bunch of us screen shotted the fact he was misrepresenting that person, too, who was denying his allegations.

He quotes both the director of the British Library and the head of the CSP SELECTIVELY and IMPLIES they agree with him - but he never discloses that even though he's quoting them, they've actually touched the manuscript in question and date it early. (Both are PhDs btw).

Much of his presentation is little more than ad hominem.

His argument (but not his name - way to go guys!) made it into a book in recent years where the scholar he emailed pointed out that using his methodology, one could deny the moon landing ever happened? He agreed with that and then quoted a NASA guy to allege NONE of the moon landings ever happened.

At that point, we're done.

When I lived in Pensacola, these people were everywhere. You might be familiar with Peter Ruckman. This guy was something else and his followers were easy to spot. Those "If it ain't KJV, it ain't bible!" bumper-stickers kinda gave them away. I was fully agnostic at the time, but I knew enough that the onlyism espoused by these loons was utter nonsense.

Yep.

His son was.......worse.....


Two boys and their father were found dead in their bedrooms from gunshot wounds Saturday morning in what authorities describe as a murder-suicide in a quiet suburban neighborhood.

Political science professor P.S. Ruckman Jr. shot his sons Chris, 14, and Jack, 12, before killing himself, police said. P.S. Ruckman Jr. was the son of prominent pastor Peter S. Ruckman. The elder Ruckman, who died in 2016 at the age of 94, ran a church and Bible college in Pensacola, Fla., that promoted the King James Version of the Bible as an advanced revelation superior to the original Greek and Hebrew.

The younger Ruckman, 58, was on the faculty of Rock Valley College and had regularly taught courses at Northern Illinois University, and his sons attended Rockford Christian Schools.

LOL, I'm not defending Trump's anything.

Just pushing back on the idea this was some insane concept. We really don't know, but due to TDS it has to be laughed at as if it were the most ludicrous thing ever.

From a medical standpoint, making recommendations based on results that by your own admission are inconclusive is pretty ridiculous (not to mention dangerous). Not as ridiculous as using horse dewormer to treat Covid, perhaps, but still way up there.

And that's without taking into account the fact that almost half the articles you list don't even address autism.

Yes, but these clowns are like the Vietnam veteran who weighs over 400 pounds and had an A1C of 8.4 and is clearly diabetic secondary to obesity and wants his disability increased "because I was exposed to Agent Orange!"

And btw, like most dweebs nowadays, Trump and RFK2 are NOT "asking questions" because nobody who says that is EVER "just asking questions," they're being deceitful little snits, gutless cowards who are trying to INSINUATE a position from which they can retreat with "I never said that" while drawing every like-minded fool into their army to make the case for them.

(And before it's necessary - I am NOT referring to any posters on this thread or even this board, I'm talking generally. I might question whether an immediate answer can be provided in some cases, but that's also how science works. We do it over and over and over and over again. We don't cherry pick the one we like and say, "a-HA! That's it!")

I swear, the level of people who don't know anything about subjects who have an opinion on it is becoming lethal thanks to people who six years ago would NEVER have been anti-vax until Republican Jesus gave them justification.

Even worse... They just lie.

Trump Accused of Threatening Violence Against the Left In Heated Oval Office Rant

President Donald Trump on Thursday was accused of issuing a veiled threat to the left in response to a shooting at a Texas ICE facility.
www.mediaite.com www.mediaite.com

During a meeting with Turkey’s president in the Oval Office, Trump was asked about a supposed rise in left-wing violence and what could be causing it. In his response, Trump said, “It’s going to get worse, and ultimately it’s gonna go back on them. I mean, bad things happen when they play these games. And I’ll give you a little clue, the right is a lot tougher than the left.”

“But the right’s not doing this. They’re not doing it. And they better not get them energized, because it won’t be good for the left, and I don’t want to see that happen either. I’m the president of all the people,” Trump continued, adding, “But the radical left is causing this. And the radical left Democrats are causing this problem, and it gets worse. It gets worse, and it’ll be a point where other people won’t take it anymore, and that will not be good for the radical left. And we don’t want that.”
 
this should go well

I'll bet there is a lot of "what the heck is this about?" going on behind the scenes.
Hegseth abruptly summons top military commanders to a meeting in Virginia next week
One of the points in the AP article was reductions in flag officer billets, which is a very good thing. More generals equals more hoops any action has to jump through and less agility. Less generals (hopefully) means less hoops and more agility. Want to check the veracity of that? Look at how many toadies these flag officer bring with them to Quantico next week.
