Fox News alert a few minutes ago says the Dover School Board lost their bid to have Intelligent Design introduced into high school biology classes. The federal judge ruled that their case was based on the premise that Darwin's Theory of Evolution was incompatible with religion, and that this premise is false.
Who seems not to have been Marx. At any rate, you apparently want a refusal to make implied endorsements of unread works to sound somehow sinister. That's very unreasonable. It's little more than refusing to give others a blank check on your credibility account.
But why would Marx want to dedicate a book, or volume, to Darwin?
How Marx reasoned things is irrelevant to the diversity of life on Earth.
[...Still think dogs were giving birth to dogs back that far?...]
Yes. I'm a "Young Earther". I thought that was obvious.
I know kid, but just keep trying.
Trying to be like me is a worthy goal.
I am unaware of any statement by ID advacates that has been translated into an experimental design, or which has lead to field research.
"Yes. I'm a "Young Earther". I thought that was obvious.
"
Oh. I see. Sorry, but I'll skip past your messages in the future. Young Earth Creationism is absurd.
Have fun fulfilling this part of the prediction. You will have to anticipate every possible scenario for unguided abiogenesis.
Grow up. You're behaving very badly in public.
.......................................
Is that all you have? I make no apology for condemning a deluded and corrupt man - Darwin - whose bizarre work has caused so much hell on earth.
From page 88 of the judge's opinion, referring to Behe's own testimony:
On cross-examination, Professor Behe admitted that: “There are no peer reviewed articles by anyone advocating for intelligent design supported by pertinent experiments or calculations which provide detailed rigorous accounts of how intelligent design of any biological system occurred.” (22:22-23 (Behe)). Additionally, Professor Behe conceded that there are no peer-reviewed papers supporting his claims that complex molecular systems, like the bacterial flagellum, the blood-clotting cascade, and the immune system, were intelligently designed. (21:61-62 (complex molecular systems), 23:4-5 (immune system), and 22:124-25 (blood-clotting cascade) (Behe)). In that regard, there are no peer-reviewed articles supporting Professor Behe’s argument that certain complex molecular structures are “irreducibly complex.”17 (21:62, 22:124-25 (Behe)). In addition to failing to produce papers in peer-reviewed journals, ID also features no scientific research or testing. (28:114-15 (Fuller); 18:22-23, 105-06 (Behe)).Amiably,
"I make no apology for condemning a deluded and corrupt man - Darwin - whose bizarre work has caused so much hell on earth."
And when asked to substantiate your wild claims....
Nothing. Well, not nothing; insults and whining. No evidence.
Very bad behavior indeed.
But when you read them they support evolution. Which is why folks like Behe and Denton accept the fact of common descent.
It is interesting that on one hand we here accusations that ID advocates are discriminated against and fired for their beliefs, and on the other hand we have claims of hundreds of peer reviewed articles by ID advocates.
What is missing is the ID hypothesis, the clear statement of something to be expected that is different from what natural selection expects. In other words, a research program or plan supporting some hypothesis.
Trying to be like me is a worthy goal.
Hee. Have a good one.
Bad behavior originates in those who defend unquestioningly like zombies...like you.
The force is strong in you today.
history proves the opposite to be true. if you understood the ideological foundation of the nation that has created more freedom and more wealth for more people - no matter what their religious belief or status in life - you would know this to be true. trust me - it is you secularists who will be killing those who disagree with you in the name of the state. once the Creator is removed from the picture, you become the arbiter of truth. that's what's really happening in these court cases. the court is the arbiter of truth. truth is what the state says it is. we're a little behind europe but people like you will get us there sooner rather than later.
get rid of state run schools. that's the real answer to the problem. let's compete like we did before public schools existed. almost every private educational institution, hospital, etc. was started by Christians. It was Christians who pushed for women to be admitted to institutions of higher learning. It was Christians who led the abolitionist movement. Since the invention of the printing press which allowed the Scripture to get into the hands of the common man, it is Christians who have led almost every positive advancement in the living conditions of humanity. now you want to force feed us a mathematically impossible explanation of the existence of human beings and because we dare question the truth of it - we are the taliban trying to drag people back into the 12th century.
don't tell me who the taliban is. the 20th century proved that the secular statists are the most dangerous people of all. the islamofascists are pikers when compared with the secular statists' ability to wreak havoc on a culture and murder their own citizens. there is one thing that they do have in common - their rejection of the God of the Bible.
Merry Christmas and may God shed His grace on America.
"Bad behavior originates in those who defend unquestioningly like zombies...like you. "
You mean asking for evidence is bad behavior? What a warped morality you have. Very sad.
No confusion, you claimed it yourself. I'm sure you will figure out a way to backtrack, but the truth is, you said it.
I do not. What would be the point? To what entity would I pray?
That was my point. You are confused.
No God, no right, no wrong, just actions and consequences.
And poor dumb people like your relatives, sitting around a table to eat a meal to celebrate the birth of the savior who you deny exists, and watching them pray to the thin air in several languages while you volunteer to do the same.
Ahh Christmas,, that celebration of nothing by the weak minded and scoffed at by the "enlightened" non believer, while being throughly enjoyed as a delightful spectacle of the chimp relatives.
Great stuff.
Actually it's the lack of evidence that EVOS protect.
Very sad...and must be humiliating to know how flimsy that evidence is...and destructive.
Frauds are sad...and the imposters like you who have to be mocked now and then.
Don't fall for Protagoras' trolling; he's trying to get you to snap. He knows damn well what you meant.
