You need to read up on the Dini case. What you say is not related to Dini and his bigotry.Hardly, but that's ok, you can ignore any evidence you like, creationists of your ilk always do. Think of it as a test in the classroom of life. And like most classes, if you think you aren't going to pass, well, ask someone else for a recommendation, or drop the class and wait for an easier teacher. Life's just hard, ain't it?

Nice try, John Paul II, never, ever "eaffirmed the commitment of the Catholic Church to evolution in 1996"....
I get real sick and tired of people claiming that, when in fact it never happened.
To: Dataman
What makes some people angry, in my opinion, is not the rejection of evolutionary tenets per se, but the insistence on non-scientific arguments in any area which are not founded on reason. You mean like something coming from nothing? Like life coming from non-life? Like a complete and massive genetic code found in a bacteria? You mean like whales trotting around on land like horses?
No, just a complete misrepresentation of an entire branch of science. Like what you did above. And you always seem to do. Par for the course for a Gish-type YEC. Never anything substantive, just the same old tired arguments.

With your shallow understanding of epistemology I can see why you would reject the theory of evolution.

Hodar, Post 30: "A letter of recommendation is NOT an official form, it is not required, and it is a GIFT that may be freely given, or witheld by anyone, for any reason. Do you give a personal recommendation to everyone, regardless of your opinion of them? If so, your recommendation would soon be totally worthless."
Your response: "Been there, done that. Do you defenders of bigotry have any NEW or even ORIGINAL ideas? Hey- if it's as simple as you say, there's nothing to worry about."
I frankly don't recall your response to the point raised by Hodar. It was apparently so eloquent that the point can now be simply dismissed out of hand. Can you remind me why it is that the discretionary nature of a letter of recommendation has no bearing?

I know, I don't know what came over me today... I've been successfully ignoring his nonsense (and it's not even in convenient blue for easy skipping) for months now, but today he called me a liberal and I had to respond. I'll go another 3 months now that its out of my system.
To: Hodar
Anyone may refuse to write a letter of recommendation to anyone, for any reason, or no reason. Granted, he's acting like a jerk; but he has the right to do so.Also granted, in a free society, we have the right to not support universities which become havens for jerks.
I wonder if Dr. Dini can give an example of a doctor's diagnosis which depends on the theory of evolution.

Nor can you authoritatively say that live evolved... for the same reasons.
While I lack the credentials to make any statements regarding the origin of the species (My field is computer science), I do not see how that is "the same reason" as any statement regarding any gods.

I went round and round on this before in another forum, and found several high school biology text books that had abiogenesis in the Evolution unit.
Most high school textbooks are sorely lacking, which is why the high school that I attended used college-level books. Most biology classes, include the ones I took in HS and college, teach them one behind the other, as a cohesive whole.
I cannot argue against your personal experience, but how would you know of classes outside of those that you've taken?

List a few reasons why you don't believe in "gods." List a few reasons why you don't believe in "the Tooth Fairy."
Would the lists be any different?

list a few reasons why you don't believe in Vishnu, Buddha, Mohammad, Mithra, Thor, Zeus, etc, and you will have answered the question. Pretty simple.
To: Dataman
The politically correct siren call that bigotry (occasionally real, usually imagined) must be rooted out even if it means stifling freedom of association and freedom of speech does not appeal to me. Besides, I don't see any bigotry here.
Now, my question was, can you tell me why it is that the discretionary nature of a letter of recommendation has no bearing?

>"Pulling it all together, what we have right here in our own country are all of the ingredients necessary for a totalitarian police state. We have a federal government that nobody in his right mind would trust, which lies to us incessantly, uses illegal force against its citizens with impunity, and collaborates with totalitarian dictators under cover of a massive propaganda campaign conducted by our supposedly free press. Our major information media are dominated by closet totalitarians who pay lip service to democracy while covertly promoting the interests of communist despots. The political opposition is made up largely of cowards who are so intimidated by our totalitarian propaganda media they are unable to offer effective resistance to even the most egregious violations of civil liberties by the corrupt Clinton regime. They have become, in the fullest sense of the term, Weimar Republicans."
"And finally, we have that which makes it all possible, a listless, docile, dumbed-down public who gape mindlessly at all of the above phenomena without the slightest glimmer of comprehension, and prattle the latest propaganda cliches dumped into their empty heads by the mainstream media."
"The Elian affair has truly given us a... glimpse---into the abyss of tyranny."
"The message that comes through loud and clear is that the system isn't working. The question that remains to be answered is whether we still possess the intelligence and fortitude necessary to fix it."
