  1. I wrote a paper in college on the subject and do not recall the second Kant. Definitely the first.
  2. When have I dismissed scientific evidence? Had anyone here?
  3. That’s why it’s called faith. If there was evidence then it would be called something else. Faith and reason are mutually exclusive and answer different questions and serve different purposes.
  4. But then it wouldn’t be the Big Bang would it? It represents a beginning.
  5. Hinch did pay a price. He missed out on a year’s salary.
  6. Harris obviously likes what he sees and as others have said they appear to be in sync. So why not? Orgs judge their managers on things fans aren’t privy to. It makes sense of that story where he listed his condo for sale. I’m guessing he’s buying a house now that he knows he will be here longer.
  7. It was indeed. Dombrowski in making the announcement at Tigerfest made it sound like an oversight and he claimed responsibility as the boss but no question it was intentional. Not by him but Mike.
  8. I can can also interpret it as a good cop/bad cop scenario. He wants it to be the Tigers but doesn’t want to insult anyone else so they call back on “the HOF makes the decision”. He can save face. No logo would not surprise me. He could face sideways like some others so no logo is visible.
  9. This makes me happier than I expected it would. I suspect he will have a Tigers hat. He’s talked many times about coming full circle from the minors and majors with the org. In his MLB network he had a tigers hat on the shelf behind him. Yea he works for the org I know. I just suspect that’s what it will be. He had plenty of success with the Tigers to justify it.
  10. They are beyond michigan. Have no idea9’ Iowa but a cousin opens stores for them and has lived alll over
  11. The thing is… to the company…. From their perspective… so what? I’m with G2. I can not be happy but my time is money and I just move on. Sometimes things just suck. The companies know this. You can complain and eventually find someone who will send you an apology or offer a lame discount on a future product. They empower no one so you are on your own. yes they are cynical. Their loyalty is to the stock price and shareholders. Customers are just a means to that end.
  12. Science doesn’t care about God. Science wants to know what happened and how. If there’s a who involved so be it. But not necessary.
  13. Who are you addressing with this comment?
  14. Then you don’t understand religion so I would advise not to try to mock something you dont understand because the only result is you look foolish.
  15. What else would you reasonably a religion to say? you are the reason people hate atheists.
  16. There’s plenty of Catholics who also have no issue with birth control and contraception but that’s not the official line.
  17. Catholics don’t have a beef with evolution though.
  18. but does anybody with the authority and ability to set policy listen to them? It would be like us sending Lebron James over there.
  19. Whatever it is is not within our knowledge to understand. Mathematically it's very likely there's something like us out there in the depths. When you see images from the Webb telecscope.... how can there not be?
  20. Absolutely. It’s why as a non Catholic I was still involved with the parish my wife grew up in. Service. I coached CYO basketball. ( I didn’t know ****.). I did scouts. I worked pancake breakfasts. I volunteered anywhere I could. We ran the festivals. I could see the impact on the local community which is lower middle classs despite the hierarchy of the church itself and its backwards way there was still opportunity to be fulfilled. You can control what you give and get out of it. I never converted because the threshold is high I think to convert. My wife as a lifelong Catholic can get past things but I can’t knowingly join when there’s obvious things I disagree with. But I can still help those who need it. And I did.
  21. Yeah that’s the Ford Wyoming drive inn here. Still in operation and doing well.
  22. My understanding on the history of the draft was that the goal wasn't to make teams better per se.... but to give teams a shot at desirable talent rather than just the big market teams out bidding everyone. The draft was a crapshoot even back then so it wasn't about year to year events. It's about the standouts that pop up periodically being available to smaller clubs.
