What, evolution supported by leftist lies and plagiarism?

Tell me it isn't so!

Earth shaking!

"What, evolution supported by leftist lies and plagiarism?"

Big shocker to me also......

[trisham]

Wow.

[Artemis Webb]

Unlike the judge, the Discovery Institute did their homework.

I wouldn't expect any fallout though...but I hope I'm wrong.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

LOL! Gotta laugh.

[silverleaf]

Cut-n-paste by a law clerk-

Hailed as brilliant work by a not-so-brilliant Judge.

LOL!

This is nothing unusual. The cases and analysis are what they are, regardless of who wrote them. There are any number of criminal appellate opinions that I am familiar with that are taken verbatim from the prosecution briefs.

[RunningWolf]

The judge revealed himself to be nothing but a sock puppet. His ruling will be overturned I hope.

And here is the statement the evos went rabid over.

"This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered."

Sour grapes. Get better facts next time and maybe you won't lose.

What, evolution intelligent design supported by leftist creationist lies and plagiarism?

Tell me it isn't so!

[Coyoteman]

West is vice president for public policy and legal affairs for the group's Center for Science and Culture, which issued a statement saying, "The finding that most of Judge Jones' analysis of intelligent design was apparently not the product of his own original deliberative activity seriously undercuts the credibility of Judge Jones' examination of the scientific validity of intelligent design."

Typical Discovery Institute BS.

Both sides submitted their closing briefs. The judge selected those parts that set forth his opinion. This is standard in cases of this type, and the DI folks are dishonest in making a big deal of it. By the way, both closing briefs were posted on the web at the time.

The DI is just upset because their Trojan horse, ID, got pasted.

Here's something else the DI wrote, which somehow leaked out of their control. It sets out their entire strategy: The Wedge Strategy: Center for the Renewal of Science & Culture.

May 22, 2006 - Judge Jones reveals his false beliefs (premise for his ruling) about the Anti-Establishment Clause in the Constitution:

"The founders believed that true religion was not something handed down by a church or contained in a Bible, but was to be found through free, rational inquiry. They possessed a great confidence in an individual's ability to understand the world and its most fundamental laws through the exercise of his or her reason. This core set of beliefs led the founders, who constantly engaged and questioned things, to secure their idea of religious freedom by barring any alliance between church and state." ~U.S. District Judge John E. Jones in his May 2006 commencement address to 500 graduates at his alma mater, Dickinson College.

He needs to click my screen name and get up to speed. :)

Intelligent Design:

[TraditionalistMommy]

This just shows there's so little real proof of evolution they have to resort to lies to push it on our kids, all in the name of rejecting God. Sick.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Nah!


Couldn't be! A shopped-for (liberal) judge copying what he was spoon-fed by the ACLU!

Shocking!

(By the way, just how DID Genesis get the Big Bang and continental drift and planetary development and biology sequences exactly right - before they knew all that scientific stuff?)

[jim_trent]

I imagine that when the judge caught the Creationist people lying under oath and on the stand meant that he wasn't going to copy them (read the transcript if you have not heard of that -- they directly lied about who paid for the books in question).

[<1/1,000,000th%]

It looks like the Discovery Institute's analysis was cut-and-pasted verbatim from Kent Hovind's 1990's tax returns. /sarcasm

The link at their site doesn't work.

[longtermmemmory]

actually, judges routinely have the prevaling attorney write the court order.

What surprises me is that nobody pickup up on this earlier.

[RadioAstronomer]

This whole "dust-up" is bogus.

My advice to you is to actually learn some real science for once. However, I already know that will not happen.

[WashingtonSource]

Judge Jones is a moron plagiarist and tool of the hard-core Communist Left.
