Ann Coulter weighs in on Darwinism

I’m happy to report that I was in constant correspondence with Ann regarding her chapters on Darwinism — indeed, I take all responsibility for any errors in those chapters. :-)

Do you have anything substantial to add to this conversation. I feel like I'm on a playground in grade school.

What conflict do I have? How does my answering a question about founding documents with a fact now transform into my supporting said document?

Do you mean that you -- gasp! -- would reject one of the founding documents of your country?

[ml1954]

YOU: To me its like saying "I say this color is red, if you don't believe its red then you are ignorant."

ME: "What if it is red?"

YOU: prove it

Depends on what your definition of red is doesn't it? If it's an objective physical measurement, then it can be demonstrated the light reflected from the 'red' object is of wavelengths defined as 'red'. But if you subjectively insist that what is defined as red is not red, then you are at a minimum ignorant (in the strict sense of the word) of what the objective definition of red is. In this case, no 'proof' is sufficient. If you are aware of what the objective definition of what red is but insist you disagree with that definition because you have some other definition of red, then you are ignorant of what language is used for. Or you are just argumentative, which is a form of ignorance all its own,

See my post 438 above. How does my answering a question with a fact transform into my supporting the document?

I'm sorry you can't comprehend how a document that was the unofficial founding document for a British colony in 1619 is not a founding document for a nation formed in 1776. Perhaps the problem is that your understanding of history is still at the grade school level.

Nothing of any substance that is in the Mayflower Compact survived into the real founding documents of the USA, the Declaration and the Constitution. The Compact was a collectivist, theocratic document that almost crippled the colony before it could establish itself. None of it's concerns for Christianity survived into the Declaration or the Constitution.

The USA was not founded on the Compact. Not even close.

"Do you mean that you -- gasp! -- would reject one of the founding documents of your country?"

What does my support or lack of support for this document have to do with the fact of what the document says? Why does it matter. A question was asked in post 389 and an answer was given. I thought facts where what was important in a crevo thread, not "-- gasp! --" feelings.

[PatrickHenry]

I was wondering how long you'd go on with this "founding document" business, and now I see that you'll never let it go. I tire of this. I guess I'm getting too old to tap-dance all night. Please carry on with the others; I'm dropping out.

"Perhaps the problem is that your understanding of history is still at the grade school level."

Ahhh, the inevitable personal attacks which are so common on these threads. Please feel free to disagree with me, however, I must request that you not ping me again.

Don't forget the ACLU connection to make sure that only evolution is being taught in public schools. Having both DU and the ACLU on one's side should be nothing to be happy about.

Which you started in post 441 :

Ok.

[ml1954]

You must have hit a nerve.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"You must have hit a nerve."

The truth hurts.

[Virginia-American]

I usually just ignore your ...uhh.. posts, but for once I can't help myself

You know, the Darwinists sure have a streak of mysogyny going on! Sounds like a lot of romances have gone bad among the beta males.

What if they gave a flame war, and nobody came?

[DocRock]

/sarc tags mean so much in posting...

[Oztrich Boy]

Can we knock of the insults and get back to the book? placemarker

I had no idea that a belief in evolution was incompatible with conservatism and a belief in God.

It isnt. PERIOD

But some on Fr will try and label you a victim of creationists anyways.

[RightWingAtheist]

Conservatives who believe in science and reason...why that would describe most South Park Republicans, wouldn't?

Sorry, I guess I should have just hit the "abuse" button, but I just wanted the torture to stop... LOL! I'm really not that bad of a guy and I don't mind civil debate, but when it is going nowhere, I have no use for the personal attacks. I did use the /sarc tag to try and lighten the conversation. I thought it appropriate to point that out rather than have a mod remove a post.
