Another thread where we might see “Science is stupid” again?

Not “science”, just some “scientists”

Wow, you just saved my day.

I was so bummed that I had to go to work without my daily dose of parody, few more minutes and it would have been a bad day indeed.

I was told by a Darwinist that the proof of evolution is that I exist.

I was a bit confused because that is a very similiar simplistic response to a belief in God for so many years.

Only Temple of Darwin fanatics think science is stupid...for falsifying their religion.

On some planet, i’m sure that makes sense, but not Earth.

I’m not taking sides in the debate, but the “science is stupid” comment is one I can’t fathom.

Elucidating the form and function of the product of a strand of DNA is not as simple as simply reading the code.

The genome is documented (see human genome project) but not ALL of the genetic information is not in use at any particular stage in growth and development. While some segments may be active in embryogenesis they become dormant in the fully formed. Likewise, once differentialization occurs, the DNA within those cells will no longer function stematically and will not transcribe the unneeded segments. The function of exogenous DNA is primarily conservative, acting as a spacer, a competence check for read frame encoding as a site for restriction enzyme attachment and ligation when a frame error occurs.

Quote mining by the author from 20 or more years ago is not proof that biochemists are dimwits - it only shows how far we’ve come in our understanding of recombinant processes. Note: there is still a great deal to learn.

The Temple of Darwin Method:

We have never observed random processess plus survival evolve one organism into an entirely different kind of organsim, and yet somehow it must be true.

What I enjoy most of all about these posts, is the hysteria from those who practice at “the church of evolution, no debate possible or acceptable or other point of view allowed” religion.

The sad part about the cartoon is that it is made by someone
who obviously believes that “the western scientific method is the
final arbiter of all truth”. For a good experience talk
to someone who studies human philosophy and try and prove
that idea to them.
