Oct 22, 2009 — “We have kept the creationist barbarians from the gate,” announced a professor at Hong Kong University triumphantly. A news article in Science this week described tensions in the city over the teaching of evolution. The Darwinists won a vote over a change in wording in the science curriculum that would have “opened the door to teaching creationism and intelligent design in secondary schools.” The door must be shut tight, apparently. Even the possibility of this happening created a furore.
Reporter Richard Stone said, “As a year of honoring Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution draws to a close, scientists in Hong Kong are celebrating a partial victory in what is likely to be an ongoing war against proponents of teaching creationism and intelligent design in secondary schools.” He called the partial victory “bittersweet” because it did not revise the guidelines, nor did it rein in “the few dozen schools in Hong Kong that openly espouse creationism.”
Stone said that most schools in Hong Kong, though publicly funded, are run independently – and many are affiliated with churches. The author of the “barbarians” comment, David Dudgeon (faculty board chair at U of HK) complained...

He has a job. It is to post YEC propaganda on FR and other websites. (the last time I said this late at night, he dedicated a new thread to me!)
>>Uh, is a science degree the new standard for credibility?<<
Yep. So, since my degree is in logic, I get to eliminate the entire field LOL!!
Forgot to ping you on my previous.
Uhhhh...did you actually read #115?
I knew you would be a shrinking violet. You remind me a lot of Coyoteman, except at least he could cut and paste his responses. You can’t even do that.
Uhhh you ARE the joke ‘dumb...the only people that don’t get you are your fellow DC/DU liberals.
I started reading it but it was irrelevant to my question, and besides it was so poorly organized that it wasn't worth the effort.
Now, is a science degree the new standard for credibility?
I do consider it my job, but unfortunately it doesn’t pay me a single cent. But at least I get to be my own boss :o)
Welfare or independently wealthy?
“To do that one must throw mathematics, in particular the laws of probability, overboard at the beginning. “
Nope.
LOL!
You got him back-peddaling out the FR door, squealing pre-teen insults, projecting himself back under his rock.
TWO thumbs up GGG!
Now, is a science degree the new standard for credibility?
Maybe you should slow down, or put on your glasses...
if it was something liberals demanded long ago...it wouldn't exactly be "new" now would it?
Let's just start there and see if you can keep up with that much...breaking this question of yours down into it's simplest parts...
Sorry. I didn't know that. Do you have a scientific degree? I have. Perhaps you now admit you have no credibility here?
“You got him back-peddaling out the FR door, squealing pre-teen insults, projecting himself back under his rock”
The only one I see who is hurling pre-teen insults is you. I have read a few of your posts, just from today, and not one seems to have any substance to them. I’ve posted a few of them below. Can you, by chance, tell me how any of them added to the threads they were on? You also have this fascination with calling anyone who disagrees a “liberal”. Don’t liberals tend to throw labels on those who disagree?
“Uhhh you ARE the joke ‘dumb...the only people that don’t get you are your fellow DC/DU liberals”
“You’re still an order of fries short of a happy meal ‘dumb!”
“No, you just continue to marginalize yourself with lazy liberal scholarship.”
Without jokers like tpanther cheering him on, GGGs would probably post fewer threads.
You know, I’m a Christian. But seeing how some people who call themselves Christian behave on just this thread, makes me wonder a lot.
I have been wondering, quite a bit, about creation and evolution and the different issues that arise out the two. I read a few of these types of threads and it seems that those who call themselves creationists aren’t doing themselves any favors where people like me are concerned. Their side, at least on here, never get into a substantive scientific debate. They post an article, proclaim that something called the “temple of darwin” has taken another blow and then hurl insults at people who seem to be posting actual science.
I have learned quite a lot from the posters who actually post science and not insults.
Just thought I’d put in my two cents worth.
"They" is mostly GodGunsGuts. When he left on vacation he asked the others to carry his weight. Not a single YEC thread till he came back. He used to be a better person till that.
Only a fool would see my posts as back-peddaling.
Res ipso loquater and your mommy is calling you out of the basement.
