That's the error we get from the forums...

Evolution vs. Creation being taught in schools
BTGBullseye replied to BTGBullseye's topic in Serious Topic Discussion
There is no proof either way, which leaves the percentage chance undefinable in both cases. Evolution is a faith just as much as any form of Christianity... I could say the exact same about evolutionists. 4000 years old is about 2000 years after the flood... (or right at the time of the flood, I keep forgetting if it was at 2000BC or 4000BC) If anything it just says that people died in that location a long time ago. So what does that have to do with anything? Well over a billion people disagree with you on that one. (I already posted my numbers supplier) -
I'll get a screenshot next time I get the error, then you can see it in it's entirety. So far it only happens when there are 10 or more people (guests and hidden included) browsing the forums.

I remember one dream from way back when I was like 8 years old... I was riding a yellow BMX bike, that could occasionally float, across various mirrors that were anywhere from about 3 feet square up to 30 foot square, all perfectly horizontal, all in a step patern of anywhere from 1 foot to 3 foot high gaps, never overlaping, black everywhere, a white glowing doorway (think "The Matrix") at the top of the stairs that had my Mom looking out of it asking what was keeping me... Oh, and there was a T-Rex chasing me... Then I slid off the edge of a mirror, and fell for a couple seconds... When I woke, I was 2 feet off my bed, and I started falling... (I'm serious, it was not a dream part for that, a full 24 inches up, all body parts that far off the bed without anything lifting/supporting me, and still had the blanket draped over me) I probly shouldn't tell you about one of the more recent ones I remember... Not suitable for under 18, but just as insane... lol

Wouldn't be as hard as it seems if you can manage to get the engine to load 3 maps in one go, overlay them, and load/drop maps one at a time... Load map 1 & 2. When you cross over into map 2, it loads map 3. As you cross into map 3 it unloads map 1, and loads map 4. Rinse and repeat. Easy to script IMO if the engine could do it...

I second this. Thirded.

The Tunnel Discussion Thread [CAUTION: Spoilers!]
BTGBullseye replied to doomplayer's topic in Civil Protection
I suspect that a good way for it to end is to reference it in the next episode of CP... Make it sound like an extremely weird series of coincidences and oddities that got them into that position, and out of it again... Excellent as-is even without an ending IMO. -
And for 99% of abortions, it is the consequence of the female's intentional actions that the baby is conceived. Why should a living human being be murdered because the "mother" couldn't keep her pants on? I agree that people should take responsobility for their actions, but we all f*** up sometimes, and with a rape scenario it might even be against the woman's will. If it gets rid of non-rape abortions, I'm willing to work from there... It's a good start anyways. Way better than the "kill it if you don't like it" mentality expressed by Michael Archer...

Moving to the afterlife now? Want me to make a thread about it?

Evolution vs. Creation being taught in schools

So far I haven't seen any proof to actually disprove anything I submitted. There is no supporting evidence that those bones belonged to the bipedal species imagined in the picture, nor any evidence to support it's age. You submit a blind test to a C14 lab, one of a bone/tooth that has a physical record of dating back to say the 1000's, and a bone/tooth that was extracted between 200 and 500 years ago, and was preserved in the same fashion. Don't tell them anything about your "suspected" ages, and see if it's accurate. Don't forget to reduce it first so it's not as obvious which is older. Show me evidence that there was no flood... The flood is generally accepted, if not necessarily in the bible's specific depiction. (eg, the Black Sea Deluge) It also would have a similar effect on the C14 as was described. Also, show me any evidence that disproves the historical parts of the bible, since the only evidence I've seen (even on TV) has been linked back to the bible as supporting it. (like the fact that Jesus was an actual living man, or that the Egyptians enslaved the Hebrew people who later escaped without significant fighting after several major catastrophes occurred) I would like you to look at this for the definition of "theory": http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistry101/a/lawtheory.htm (this was the only source I could find that was not written by a self-proclaimed evolutionist, which would obviously bias the source) Essentially if enough people supported the THEORY of a flat world, it would be as accepted as the THEORY of evolution is today, and is just as likely to be disproven. (look at history, flat world theory was denying that there was any possibility of a round world and ridiculing the "nonbelievers" in almost the same way as evolutionists do to creationists today) About DNA: I challenge you to find any evidence that one of the most complex information storage systems in existence proves evolution. That's kind of like saying "if I throw this box of random non-corrodible parts at a rock on Mars and wait a couple trillion years it'll eventually become a full computer system with Windows 7 and 2 pirated games installed". (if you're supporting the mainstream theory of evolution being taught in schools these days that is) As for the gravity quip, it is the LAW of gravity, not the FACT of gravity. (The previous link also explains that difference) Linking to Wiki is tacky, can't you find anything that was made by a non-anonymous person? How about going in and quoting directly from the source unlike Wiki? (they rarely take quotes in-context when dealing with things of this nature, just like *most* "Christians" that want to convert you) Lastly, you said there's no doubt, but so far there is at least 1 other person who doesn't believe in evolution, and that outright disproves that point of view, as does the world population of Catholics. (16.68% of the world's population according to https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2122.html after adding up the percentages and populations) There is not currently available any way to prove any method of origin, only several theories and hypothesis that fit the evidence we do have, and some that do not. Guess we'll have to wait for time travel to find out for sure... In response to Axeldeath's post: Your definition of "faith" is wrong. Faith is believing in something that can not be proven or disproven using any of our senses. As for evidence, nothing has disproven the existence of a "supreme being". All the "evidence" merely supports that there is no evidence either way, hence a matter of faith. Logic suggests that evolution is so unlikely that it should be dismissed until further evidence is provided, even if there should be a period of no theories available on the subject, just so you don't accidentally get the "flat world theory" thing going again. If you want to throw out creationism because of it's basis in religion, go ahead, but don't put something even more moronic in it's place just to fill the gaps. -
Honestly, anarchy is the best form of government, but can never exist. Someone will form a group and try to be a dictator, or president, or something else along those lines... Second best would be a form of dictatorship in which the dictator is chosen specifically because of his/her unwillingness to rule... Essentially the dictator would only be there to form a defense force if someone else tries to take over.

When are you going to make some in 1366x768 mode?!? (good work BTW)

When was that statement made? I have to disagree with it, I think whether a story is important or not in a game depends very much on what the game is. Same for porn sometimes... lol

Those were the biggest parts for me too... Just a vid of the tram ride would be the ultimate teaser/trailer for the mod...

Then you are quite lucky. No, he's a Mod, it's the board's prioritizing methods... Mods, and Admins get 100% guaranteed connection at all costs. The settings for the number of users connected at once is probly set way too low, like 20 or so...

Rank all the Civil Protection Episodes
BTGBullseye replied to GameGodOfAll's topic in Civil Protection
I agree... lol -
Well, seeing as we're on to topics that can't be discussed comprehensively without bringing religion into it, I thought this might be a good controversy to debate... Most public schools are teaching the Evolution theory as fact... It doesn't have even one single shred of supporting evidence, which is why it's still theory; however as I went through public school, I know that they portray it as a fact of life. Linked with this is the carbon dating method. The accuracy of carbon-14 dating relies on faulty assumptions, and is subject to human bias. At best, radiocarbon dating is only accurate for the past few thousand years. As we’ve seen though, even relatively youthful samples are often dated incorrectly. The Biblical record gives us an indication of an earth that is relatively young. The most reliable use of radiocarbon dating supports that position. This method of dating, overall, tends to be as faulty and ill conceived as the evolutionary model that it was designed to support. If you're issue is with the "biblical" parts of this, the flood is scientific fact, (all real scientists have accepted it, and so have the kooks that aren't blatantly kooks) and the bible's version of history (apart from god and the rising from the dead stuff) is widely accepted, even amongst evolutionists. Now for the fossil record argument... (not the carbon dating part, since that's already covered) There has never been any supporting fossils, or recorded mutations that would even come close to being a link between humans and any other creature. Look it up, it's common knowledge. Seems like there should be at least ONE skeleton or bone to support evolution if it actually happened... I mean seriously, not even one generation of human/ape hybrids?!? I have just presented an extremely small selection of disproving evidence for the evolution side, and why evolution shouldn't be taught in schools. (bad science all around) Anyone willing to try disproving creationism with as much evidence?

Agreed!

Crap. Now I need to buy a plane ticket to California AND get siege weapons past airport security. Siege weapons are easy, just take them apart, ship 'em UPS next day, (use heavy duty packaging though) and reassemble on site... Knives are easy, just buy ceramic. Same for guns... (ceramic Glocks) Explosives are the easiest, but I'm not telling you how to get them by, since they can be made with household stuff, and I'll likely be stalked by the CIA if I posted the "how to" online... Now hard is when you try getting keychains and hairdryers past security.
