"The courts haven't issued any ruling about debating the issue of evolution or antievolution."<

Are you on drugs? Are you delusional?

You seem like a smart person to me. You use a lot of big words and stuff.

Come on?

The Courts are destroying our culture in a way that is I wish I could say it right...the reciprocal of what the Holy Roman Ignoramuses did to Galileo, and others back in the Dark freaking Ages.

3. The truth about the Galapagos Finch population changing not one bit since Darwin first observed them more than 170 years ago. In a 1991... "

Perhaps if you and Ann were current on the latest studies and publications you would know what changes have occurred. But that would not fit the agenda ...

"Ok. I accept that you did not intentionally mean to demonize me."

LoL!

I'd like to demonize you.

Quick, say something that you think is brilliant.

LoL

I'm not expecting you to accept that the purely biological path is how we humans came to have a moral sense. I was more just (tacitly) pointing out that the end picture, what the moral sense looks like and how it operates, isn't much different on the biological versus divine origin account. Of course more explicitly my point was that, therefore, the religious rhetoric that evolution "should" have us all behaving like ruthless monsters is silly and stupid.

Maybe someone else will give a better explanation?

God did it. Satisfied?

She quotes leading Darwinist scientists, for example, as admitting they "don't yet know" how the complex and interdependent cell mechanisms "evolved." They simply ASSUME it must have happened

I will take on face value your statement and even grant Ann her statement. But ID is NOT an alternative theory to explain this. ID depends on magic/supernatural intervention and science cannot and must not depend on that for explanations of physical events.

If I say "I don't know how my car got a dent in it" that does NOT imdicate in any way, shape or form that a valid "theory" for the dent was little green men in spaceships. I can formulate a reasonable theory based on the size and shape of the ding, where and when it occurred, etc. EVEN IN THE ABSENCE OF EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS.

Yup...I'm dumb, and you are bright.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I guess I'll go off now and read a few more books that are beneath you.

It's a theory, because nobody knows

It's a theory because nobody has falsified it. It is tested thousands of times each year and the bases are never falsified.

You are an ignoramus who spouts foolish statements based on your ignorance.

There you go again. We don't know that he is an ignoramus. He may actually being paid to look ignorant and spout foolish statements written by some creationist with a book to sell.

OMG.

Please tell us what is happening among the freaking finches at the Galapagos that is newsworthy.

LOL! For this one, I will claim Occam's Razor.

Hey! Me again.

"The scientific debate occurs in the scientific community: in the universe of those actually doing science and applying, and consequently testing, scientific theories and principles in the conduct of original and productive research."

So there's a lot of "testing" in the scientific community of Darwinism. I did not know that!

Are you on drugs? Are you delusional?

I see. So clearly you DON'T think there's any real difference between debating science and teaching science. So that's easy then. We can save those billions of dollars we spend doing scientific research. Instead we'll just sit down and "debate" it all out with 15-17 year olds in high school classrooms.

I'm sure the kiddoes will have a cure for cancer in no time. Heck, they should have the technology worked out for an effective anti ballistic missile system by the end of next week.

Oh, puh-leaze... I've got nothing at all against legitimate criticism. It's the lies and gross misrepresentations used to dishonestly attack it I have "no stomach for", in exactly the same way that we conservatives have "no stomach for" Michael Moore's propaganda, and for exactly the same reasons. Those of us who value truth and honest discourse have our stomachs churned by liars and charlatans, and there are plenty of them in the anti-evolution movement. Coulter's book just parrots a big batch of the usual twaddle that anti-evolutionists use over and over again no matter how often it has been corrected, debunked, and exposed.

Yep, disgusting isn't it! And Coulter didn't even write that section of her stupid book, what a disgusting ripoff!

Hey!

"I'm sure the kiddoes will have a cure for cancer in no time"

I'm pretty sure all these great and educated scientists don't have a cure yet either. I'll go with the kids and about 500 billion dollars.

evolution "should" have us all behaving like ruthless monsters

I cannot understand how CE comes to this conclusion. The bible lays it all out how we are ruthless monsters and NOT one time did God blame it on evolutionists.
