If you are really interested, you should take up the question with Alamo-Girl, who is an exceptionally knowledgeable Freeper on the issue concerning complexity, information theory, etc. Or else a charlatan who uses a familiarity with jargon to fake understanding of science and math. One or the other, certainly.

It is considered polite to ping someone when they are mentioned -- especially in a potentially negative light. I have pinged Alamo-Girl, and it is true that she is very knowledgeable regarding the ID discussion. So is Betty Boop.

I consider it a damn sight more impolite to be told I can have no possible moral objection to pedophilia or infanticide. If I can't have any legitimate ethical objections to those horrible crimes, why should I be ethically obligated to ping someone, or to show any reticence about expressing my opinion of their posts?
