Ah Fungus, my friend, the devil is indeed in the detail. You will notice that SausageJockey claimed 8000 years of history before Christ, which I corrected to 4000 years of history before Christ.

So we are both correct and can give each other a well deserved pat on the back.

Lucifer in "pedantic git" mode.

Oh fudge ...

celebrate a Christian event which you don't believe in.

Says who?

Humbug!

That website has answered my big question of life, the universe, and everything, which is:

After 4 billion years, how come there are still violently radioactive materials around, especially those with short half-lives of a few years? I would have thought they would have all turned to lead by now.

It can only be the Lord's miraculous doing.

Tomorrow ? You look pretty silly now - both of you are about to celebrate a Christian event which you don't believe in. Pretty stupid really. Still I wish you a very Merry Christmas.

[Lucifer Box]

And to be even more pedantic, there are arguments that Christ was born in 4 BC, so this is really 2009.

And in July as well. How silly will we all look tomorrow (considerably less so than SausageJockey at least).

Well lucy and fungas, you are both wrong

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Earth_creationism

A range of dates 4-8,000 BC have been postulated by man, only God knows the real Truth. It must be humilating to be so completely and utterly wrong, I can only guess at your embarassment.

Still, you are welcome on the alpha course in the new year to learn some more truth. It is good to see you are still seeking answers.

Four thousand, according to Biblical scholars.

If you're going to pretend to be a fundamentalist Christian, at least do some basic research. By the way, SausageJockey, when did you get bored of pretending to be American?

Well actually ...

Bishop Ussher gave the date of creation of the Earth and the Sun as 4004 B.C., which means that the Earth and the Sun are 6009 years old. [Blows a raspberry.]

But I'll give you 10 points and I'll give "nool pwan" to Sausage Jockey. And what do points mean?

Sorry to be a pedant but these things do matter. The devil is in the detail as they say. Though I guess you'd know all about that.

Not at all - there were about 8,000 years before Christ, so any family tree cannot extend back beyond that. Lucifer may have planted a few stooges but do not be fooled. It is apt that we are talking about the Jesus Christ, our saviour, on the night of his birth in a manger in Bethlehem.

I've managed to trace most of Family Tree right back to 3 billion years B.C, where I can go no further.

Don't you think that the "B.C." is a little superfluous?

Anyway, why don't you ask threaded? He has mapped the entire human genome, and from his own DNA has computed the entire family tree of man over 25 million years, from Neville downwards.

Yes, the name Neville surprised me, too.

Wendigo.....thanks for the reminder

Of course, I share genes with several hundred thousand ancestors, I suspect.

I've managed to trace most of Family Tree right back to 3 billion years B.C, where I can go no further. I'm currently stuck on Kevin the marsupial. Unfortunately, marsupials were not known for their love of record-keeping, so I'm at a loss from there.

[wendigo100]

BGG, you share genes with these people.
