"I have first hand evidence in that during my PhD studies in the late 80’s and working with DoD and NASA on a variety of space programs we kept hearing what a cash cow "global warming" was going to be in the coming years."

This from the same person who wrote "Every article I have read is based on silly conclusions like 'Gee, it's hot here in Miami...'" Why am I skeptical?

You also say that "In the 80’s I worked with the DMSP program, which measures energy around the planet 24 x 7. When the first global warming alarms were raised, along with the conclusion that man should stop polluting the earth, stop driving cars, and a whole host of other liberal agenda items, the DMSP group was laughing its ass off."

Really. And you did what while "working with the DMSP program"? Monitor all those articles about how hot it was in Miami?

And I suppose the F8, launched in 1987, was just a punchline for all those laughing guys who now use it to monitor such ridiculously improbable events as depletion and accretion trends in arctic sea ice.

Somehow, your sudden acquisition of "inside" knowledge about the evil motivations and inherent ill-will of the scientific community is less than convincing. If, improbably, you ever were a part of the DMSP program (whose participants, btw, are well known and have been since declassification in 1972), I'm willing to bet you were discarded pretty quickly. There's not much room there for snotty pre-judgment of data and derision of data-collection.

Precisely - the evo crowd isn't concerned with what Behe actually said, they're simply interested in the semantics game trying to decieve people by restating it into something he didn't say.. They're frauds and fudge factors are their game - to wit the speciation argument on this thread. Manipulation, semantics and doubletalk. I wonder if they spend their time on the john looking for patterns in the carpet that look like living things so they can test the carpet dna and see if there's a missing link there..

Oh well, cats are intelligent enough to cover theirs in the litter box. At least we can serve a simbiotic relationship of covering theirs for them as they seem incapable of doing so. Still amuses me they think they aren't getting their message out...

"Darwin's theory inherently debunks the idea that a Christian God created man because of the book of Genesis and the whole New Testament."

No, it doesn't.

"Whether Victorian Christians understood that Evolution was at odds with the Bible, I have no idea or interest, really."

It's at odds with a very narrow interpretation of the Bible. Most Christian geologists had already discarded a literal reading of Genesis decades before Darwin published.

You guys think your credentials insulate you and you spit your credentials at those without them as though it were an epithet. Then you have the temerity to whine when someone isn't as impressed with you as you are. We all rather expect your work product to live up to standard. So far, your crowd is giving us arguments that speciation turns corn to corn, flies to flies, ants to ants... note a pattern here..

Really, would there be any details of my personal history that would indicate I am not an idiot?

Probably not.

I don't give a damn if your're impressed. If I cared about the opinion of someone who thinks the second law of thermodynamics means radioactive decay rates changed with time, I'd be in sad shape indeed.

LOL--you mean the novel? I think that's a potential tag line.

Cowardice? LOL - It would seem since you've given up on corn speciates into corn arguments and have resorted to silence that utter silence is a tag for cowardice.. but, you say tomato...

Again Darwin's theory INHERENTLY attempts to debunk the Christian God of the Bible as to how life began.

This is a blatant lie. But then, lies are the anti-evolutionist's stock-in-trade.

The problem in the scientific community is a lot of guys wanting money from the gubmint and an idiotic Congress willing to be duped into shovelling it, not handing it, to them for whatever quack theory someone has. Money can grow all sort of mischief. Defund evolution and the mischief will arise elsewhere. Not because *all* scientists or *the community* is suspect at large, but because it is human nature and it takes ethics and will to constrain one's own behavior.. some have neither.

If you can't define a species and can't therefore accurately define speciation, how do you expect anyone to take any of this seriously.

The difficulty delineating species has been considered evidence for evolution since long before Darwin. The concept of species is man made. There is nothing in biology that requires drawing strict lines between populations.

Glad to see you've found your level, with the scientific know-nothings. After all, if knowledge contradicts the Bible, knowledge is evil.

Yes I did offer that as part of my thinking.. that something energy related might have something to do with the laws of nature. How off of me lol.

It is a potential tagline. I'm considering it; but, I like the current one.. can't tell you how unnerved people get over that one for some reason lol

How ignorant of you. The Second Law deals with entropy, not energy.

So far, your crowd is giving us arguments that speciation turns corn to corn, flies to flies, ants to ants...

...and fish into elephants, apes into humans, land-dwelling mammals into whales, reptiles into mammals, dinosaurs into birds...

note a pattern here..

Yes, I note that you're lying about the nature of the evidence we've presented, just like you've lied about so many other things on these threads. You have a pattern of lying, and anti-evolutionists in general have a pattern of lying. I have no problem at all spotting that pattern.
