Darwinist Ideologues Are on the Run

Men are primates, but not apes. Apes have no human intelligence, nor a soul, though I'm beginning to question that of some men too. Just because we're genetically related doesn't make us one of them. The common housefly has 97 percent DNA commonality with us. Are you claiming we're bugs too?

[Dimensio]

Apes have no human intelligence

Humans have human intelligence. If humans are apes, then it logically implies that at least a subset of apes have "human intelligence".

nor a soul

You'll need to demonstrate the existence of a soul for this to even begin to have meaning.

It seems to me like you want to redefine "ape" simply because you're not comfortable with humans being classified as apes.

Documentation please?

[js1138]

If, as everyone proclaims g3k got what he deserved, why don't those who helped purify the forum step up to the podium? It is possible that they have, but I missed the posts.

I didn't participate in the forum where 3k got nuked. Perhaps you would like to call the main perp to the stand, Jim Robinson.

[DesScorp]

" Documentation please?"

Gladly, though I misquoted...it's not 97 percent, it's 70 percent. I first recall reading an article with the 97 percent figure, but either my memory is faulty or the writer was wrong. Either way, this says it's 70. That's still a lot of shared DNA.

Seventy percent of the genes found in fruit flies are also present in humans

[Coyoteman]

Thank you. I thought the figure was somewhat high.

[PatrickHenry]

I thought the figure was somewhat high.

This is from the Scientific American website:
What does the fact that we share 95 percent of our genes with the chimpanzee mean? And how was this number derived?

[From many - one.]

Church of the mildly curious?

[darbymcgill]

Ah yes... tap dancing with the stars...

right foot... shuffle ball, shuffle ball, step, step, shuffle ball, shuffle ball, change, turn...

now left foot....

[whattajoke]

whattajoke has already admitted his involvement and claimed the scalp. (if he wasn't kidding, I can't tell).

My apologies - I'm late to the "conspiracy" insanity. As one who has never pinged a mod, never hit the abuse button in my life, and never even threatened to do so, I can assure you I had nothing to do with G3K's or anyone else's banning.

darby - in the future if you're doubting whether or not I'm joking, check my screen name again.

Re: The infamous g3K banning thread.

I urge you all to read that first page and have a moment of silence for ol' f.christian. JimRob's initial response to him is classic.

What was most odd about perhaps the oddest prolific poster of yore, he would send me perfectl coherent and normal sounding FReepmails from time to time. I had mentioned I was going to be honeymooning in Hawaii back in 6/03 and he offered to show me around Maui. I, however, wasn't going to Maui (rather Kauai, Big Island, Oahu) but damnit, I almost changed my plans just to see him.

so anyway, I DID go to Maui last May and took a cab once in Lahaina (he had said he drove a cab) and the driver was slightly insane. But I was afraid to ask...

[darbymcgill]

in the future if you're doubting whether or not I'm joking, check my screen name again.

As I suspected.. thanks for clearing that up....

[Senator Bedfellow]

Ah, yes, the "lone asshole" theory. But what you cover-up artists always ignore is the grassy knoll evidence </conspiracy>

[PatrickHenry]

... he [f.christian] had said he drove a cab ...

I don't recall that tidbit. It must be a stressful job.

[Michael_Michaelangelo]

Bwahahaha - whatever man! He was banned because he made Dales look like a fool in front of his buddies. By the way - weren't you one of the people that started the whole flamewar?

[Senator Bedfellow]

so anyway, I DID go to Maui last May and took a cab once in Lahaina (he had said he drove a cab) and the driver was slightly insane.

Reverend Jim Ignatowski insane or Travis Bickle insane?

[Senator Bedfellow]

He was banned because he made Dales look like a fool in front of his buddies.

So basically, you're saying that Jim Robinson bans people who embarrass other posters. Have you asked him about this policy?

[longshadow]

Gee, didn't somebody make some noise about whom it might have been who was CONSPIRING to get the MODS involved? BEHOLD, from the thread in question:

To: CobaltBlue
You do have a lamentable tendency to fly off the handle and take insults when they weren't intended.

One more insult from you, I will have it reported for abuse. Bug off.

And now you know..... the rest of the story.

[darbymcgill]

This thread is getting dull. Lets get back to the important stuff:

I agree... so what would a 3 y/o weight 2.3 mya... and what bird might have attacked a child that size?

Any ideas?

[PatrickHenry]

Ah, yes, the "lone [bleep]hole" theory. But what you cover-up artists always ignore is the grassy knoll evidence

I was on that grassy knoll, lurking, amazed at what the "lone [bleep]hole" was doing in a thread started by Dales, and where Dales said, in post #1: "This would be a very poor thread to choose to engage in flamewarring or flamebaiting." Also, Jim Robinson was in the thread from nearly the beginning. He posted #16, so it was obvious to all that the thread was being observed, to monitor the problems in the evolution threads.

At post 62, Dales said to g3k: "And people are not taking the hint that they are skating on thin ice. Well, they are." And so it went. Now it's true that g3k was probably under the control of some alien device that had been inserted into his torso during one of those UFO abductions that seem to plague creationists -- that much was obvious to all. So it's possible that the probe made him do it. But from where I was standing on that grassy knoll, he did indeed seem to be a "lone [bleep]hole."
