Amazing how mediocre you are in all arenas.

It is an interesting exercise to me to see how the wagons circle.

There's more to life than science. REally.

Amen brother. Look how these clowns react when one injects some actual fun in to it.

They are humourless and ignorant of the science they claim to champion.

Dour sourpuss timid souls.

Lemming like really.

Science a constantly growing and most importantly self-correcting system,

Has it ever occurred to you that the emphasis on ID may be the beginnings of such a self-correction?

God built your soul. To me, that is enough.

I've got it bookmarked as "tallhappy losing it."

That was actually one of the most impressive meltdowns I've seen, and I speak as someone who not infrequently posts while the ol' adrenaline is running hot.

Too bad he's pretending it was all in fun, ha ha. In order to achieve the state of FReeptori, you've got to embrace your rage, and become one with it.

Science does not deny the existence of God

Modern science declares Him irrelevant and unneeded, so you are making a distinction without a difference.

You mean, that, for example, they don't know that L-GLO is L-gulono-gamma-lactone oxidase? One would think that someone discussing the molecular genetics of primate evolution would know that.

An emphasis on ID will be able to begin when those who propose ID propose some science that might back it up or disprove it. Thus far even Michael Behe admits (under oath) that for ID to be considered science scientific standards would have to be relaxed to admit such phenomena as astrology.

Big difference. God is, by definition, irrelevant to science. In the same way, I am irrelevant to Malaysian politics. That does not mean that I, or God, have no relevance to other fields.

If you read fluff, you learn fluff.

Try this for starters: http://www.ghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/MSU/msusci.html

The debate isn't about whether there is a temperature increase in the lower troposphere, it's why the increase is occurring.

Many creationists here reject something that they often like to refer to as "Junk Science". Upon examination the definition of "Junk Science" is usually "Science whose conclusions I don't wish to be true, for religious, social, or economic reasons." Data or evidence-based reasons for the rejection tend to be conspicuous by their absence.

Make sure you actually understand population genetics before you attempt a reply.

Talk about setting the bar impossibly high! :-)

Devotees of the religious proselytization of evolution obsess with something like that that are spoon fed it in the acronym form.

This is a perfect example -- "LGLO" is rather dinosaur as far as understanding of comparative genomics.

But because a number of years ago some prosyletite wrote up some tract with it as an example, that's about all anyone here knows about.

You stay in your box.

And on a friendly note, I thought you never wanted me to "ping you" ever?

Now you initiate communication.

Can't you even keep your own resolutions?

There really are two kinds of creationists. For those of overtly religious motivation, hurling invective at evos is "witnessing." For those of covertly religious other motivation, hurling invective at evos is "fun."

I pinged you because I referred to you.

I try to remember to do this. Since the admins will apparently not enforce requests not to ping, I have given up on such requests.

Five minutes ago you didn't know what it was. Now you're pretending to have enough knowledge of it to claim it's old hat and passé. You can see, surely, why your credibility is, ahem, somewhat risible.

However, we can look at the molecualr phylogeny of the sequence in detail, if you like.
