Thanks for the ping. Keep religeon out of science.

You call him a hero, I never said he was.

I did not call you a liar. I said your characterizations (based on what you wrote in that post to me) are not worth much. I wont spell it out for you.

For the record, it is not necessary to chose one or the other. Thats part of the 'gambit' here from the cult of cosmo-evo.

I don't know enough about the case, and the things I responded to were not about the case either, but internal to the dynamics on this forum.

I think Derbyshire is being too nice here. The IDers and Creationists are idealogical allies of the Left; there's no difference in their philosophy or policics; they just have differing labels. Both groups are out to destroy scientific inquiry. The Scientolgists, New-Agers, etc. are just wannabes.

So you're not actually reading about the case at hand, you just like to hang out here and make snarky remarks about other posters?

That says it all. Sheesh.

[RunningWolf]

make snarky remarks about other posters

We all thought you had cornered that market.

ID = Insouciant Dishonesty?

[highball]

LOL!

I'm willing to debate you on the issue at any time, if you're actually interested in doing so.

[Doctor Stochastic]

With the votes hanging around the 50% mark, losing all eight is a 1 to 255 shot. You'd make more money betting on the double zero.

Of course, as they have been shown willing to lie under oath about one thing, why assume they are telling the truth about fincances. (Same comment I have been making about The Clintons for over a decade now.)

That'll teach me to post before reading the other answers.

Great minds think alike....

The fact that Lemaitre himself was religious is completely beside the point, although for some reason you keep trying to make it the point, despite the fact that no one else is.

I think the salient point is that Lamaitre derived the BBT from the combination of Hubble's red-shift data and the field equations of GR, not from some religious document or doctrine. The fact that he also found it secularly satisfying is a coincidence, one to which the theory's genesis is clearly unrelated. In short, Lamaitre proposed the BBT because the SCIENTIFIC observational evidence and theorectical calculations demanded and supported it.

In the case of the Dove Case, the tell-tale finger prints of religiously, not scientifically, derived Creationism was all over the "suggested reading material," the board members' motives, and the legal team's impetus to find a school board dumb enough to be their jurisprudential guinea pig.

Looks like I got my Savages confused!! Thanks for clearing that up...

1⁷²⁰ could very well be a huge number if the error bar on 1 is big enough! Teach the controversy!

It is well established that 1=2 for very large values of "1."

"1" -- a Constant in Crisis! Teach the Controversy!

ID is to biology what socialism is to economics.

[PatrickHenry]

Creation science is to science what Ebonics is to English.

Behe admitted under cross examination that astrology meets his definition of a scientific theory.

The only way he can get his garbage accepted as "scientific theory" is to change the definition.

You should know it is no longer the Beagles Barf. It is now the Cabal Corral.

Just a name change. Same management, same great food (ptui!)
