No earthly idea. The last time I was in that hospital was 2003. I would assume that it has long since expired and been disposed of, by legal means.

Let's go back to the original statement I made about Wakefield: "Oh, steross, in order for it to be "science" it has to be "science" from the outset, and vaccines and autism was never science. The whole premise put forth by Andrew Wakefield originally linking vaccines to autism was fraudulent...

How did Bernie Madoff defraud people of $65 billion? A plausible lie. But a plausible lie is still a lie. Fraud is still fraud regardless of how convincing it may have been in the beginning. What a world we live in where we shy away from speaking the truth because some people might cover their...

Oh, but I do know that's how it works. I know that Wakefield's work wasn't proved to be a fraud and he wasn't disgraced overnight, so people took up the work of studying it. I also know that the fraud has persisted despite the fact that it was proven to be a fraud and so yet again in clinical...

I was doing some reading yesterday about the growing divide among evangelicals that I didn't realize was there, "political evangelicals" and "theological evangelicals". I didn't realize that there were a large number of people who felt like I do, disgusted by it all. They need to speak out.

I know, you're right, but this isn't the "Do you want to bang Shakira" thread. I just don't know what else to say in this thread anymore. It's say that or say nothing. My brother and I were talking about it this morning and I kept saying that, "I just want it all to stop."

Oh, steross, in order for it to be "science" it has to be "science" from the outset, and vaccines and autism was never science. The whole premise put forth by Andrew Wakefield originally linking vaccines to autism was fraudulent. Wakefield was disgraced, the paper was retracted. Yet the fraud...

Good lord I just want it all to stop.

Good catch. Yes, it was a weasely answer.

He could have said it the other way, studies have ruled out the possibility that vaccines cause autism. They way he said it the first time, “measles” left open the possibility that other vaccines cause autism, and the second time that there still could be evidence that they do. Those are weasel...

What is important to me is a church that is reaching its community and I have certainly found that to be true in my current church.

There are generally four core beliefs to evangelicalism: 1. The primacy of scripture as the ultimate guide to faith and practice 2. Personal conversion, the necessity of being “born again”. 3. Salvation through Jesus alone. 4. Evangelism, the Great Commission. My objection is that...

That doesn’t answer the question.
