Designed to deceive: Creation can't hold up to rigors of science

CONTRA COSTA TIMES ^ | 12 February 2006 | John Glennon

[Ken H]

Intelligient Design overall is a much better theory than evolution.

Would you briefly state the Theory of Intelligent Design in layman's terms?

No one has proved that everything came naturally from nothing.

Does the Theory of Evolution make that assertion?

[Lurking Libertarian]

501?

[VadeRetro]

this thread is one for the ages.

Ages 11 to 19.

What I am asking is that Science stop the self-mutilation -- cutting off valid and fruitful viewpoints and lines of inquiry. And cutting out some realy smart people -- by means of fear and the mob's ignorance.

"unless you *want* to make yourself appear a pathetic and clumsily blustering buffoon."

I think more than half of the Creationists around here are actually Partrick Henry. You'll note he never answers them. He must do that to avoid talking to himself. What does he do on these threads anyway? Just wait around for "primes". He likes starting long threads and stirring the pot. It feeds his ego.

For all I know you are Patrick Henry, too. That's why you're the only who ever gets thunderous applause. Longshadow and jennyp have already admitted they are really PatrickHenry on previous threads.

Darwin Central is truly a conspiracy, not one that cares, but an evil force.

I don't care if PH gets to be Ichneumon, but do I have to be the late Aric2000?

[King Prout]

ooo...

[furball4paws]

This is cyberland. You can be anybody you want to.

[puroresu]

I was with you until you suggested that Patrick could be Ichneumon. ;-)

[King Prout]

this all makes the old axiom "I know you are, but what am I" spookily relevant... must be evidence of Intelligent Design!

[tallhappy]

I don't give a rat's ass what your *qualifications* are. It's your argument that's junk.

Amen brother.

[VadeRetro]

OK, I'm Her Britannic Majesty Victoria, By the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India, Nawabi of Nanjipur, Rani of Rangoon, and Bitch of Bangalore.

[tallhappy]

It's not a retort. Look at 453. I have mentioned the chimp genome findings and findings of other studies many times. Now I have posted verbatim a seection from one of the initial chimp genome papers that analysed these sort of elements wherein common descent can be examined.

It's not as simple as the writer you use make it out to be.

It's not accurate as you put it.

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

"Specific objections? I think all of it is a good place to start."

Please learn what "specific" means and then provide one or more specific objections.

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

"Now thats the best creation story Ive ever heard.

"Can I join your church?"

Do you accept that John Frum was a divinely sent prophet of the Pilot in Command?

(Look up "cargo cults" for an explanation of what I'm talking about.)

[Ichneumon]

501?

501 +/- 1, anyway.

[furball4paws]

How a bout the Black Hole of Calcutta?

[VadeRetro]

You win.

[PatrickHenry]

I am many things, but I am not Ichneumon. In fact, I've been registered at this website an entire week longer than Ichneuman, which is why he defers to me in all things.

I think more than half of the Creationists around here are actually Partrick Henry. You'll note he never answers them.

I never answer them because: (a) my tagline won't let me; and (b) it gives me free time to serve the Grand Master -- from whose table you grovel for crumbs.

[aNYCguy]

It's not really a realistic example, so why would you use it as the first example you have of how evolution could be contradicted? Do you have a real example?

LOL! Too funny. What do you want, an example that's so "real" that it's already been observed and has falsified evolution?
