So we can just go back to doing things the way the did in the 14th century. Who does that? Oh, wait....

Hmmm… Yes, I could see how someone with limited intelligence might think this as they would be unfamiliar with data verification, the peer-review process, and other tools in science. I could also see how an irrational dogmatic alarmist might state this as to scare people into thinking science would be taken over by some type of theocracy. Either way, I don’t have the time to educate the first case or the desire to debate the second. But for those with the ability to learn and who are open-minded – (meaning Betty) - here is a brief synopsis …

I can see how a zealot would sidestep discussion of unintended consequences by deriding anyone who might consider them.

Who’s going to peer review Genesis?

Apologists for MM provide a number of supporting rationales. It is claimed that design: is objectionably unobservable, violates a ‘publicity’ condition on scientific evidence, precludes general, law-based explanation, is a ‘science stopper’, is an argument from ignorance, fails to provide a mechanism, is ‘intractable’, is not ‘controllable’, is empirically sterile, makes no practical difference to science, and, in any case, has been decisively refuted.

Oh my!!! Thus these "yelpers" — methodological materialists, a/k/a/ "MMs" — just keep on "yelping!" Their logical position is self-contradictory and thus perilous; but they just don't seem to care or want to notice.

Good grief, I just loved "the publicity condition" the yelpers would impose on us — NOT!!!

I'm sorry, but I just suspect that people who think the way the MMs do are totally out of their minds. They are psychiatric patients — or ought to be.

Plus their behavior kind of reminds me of a turkey house: initial conditions are quiet; but then, one turkey starts yelling — and sets off the entire turkey community within earshot to do likewise, as if in total panic.

Result: NOISE. Nothing means anything in this scenario. It is just turkeys "communicating" with each other....

Better stop for now. Thank you ever so much for writing, dear Heartlander!
