This is illustrated by you pinging PatrickHenry with your last reply to me. Why? Because you want him to see how the mighty intellectual squishes the worm?
And why the deliberately warped misquote?
Why is this?
I heard Burt Rutan talk about revolutionary vs evolutionary thinking years ago, of course he is a proponent of revolutionary thinking. Is your thinking original and revolutionary thinking? Is my thinking original and revolutionary thinking? All to often people simply say what they were taught to say - no more and certainly no less; they think how they were taught to think - no more, and certainly no less. There is plenty of evidence of this on this thread. Consider the point in time where man switched from the flat earth theory to the round earth theory. Who were the evolutionary thinkers and who were the revolutionary thinkers? Consider the point in time where man switched from thinking the sun revolved around the earth to realizing the earth revolved around the sun; Who were the evolutionary thinkers and who were the revolutionary thinkers? Both times evolutionary thinking had to buck established revolutionary thinking. So now here we are on this thread discussing evolution vs design. I don't think it would be out of line to suggest people here ask themselves if their thinking is evolutionary or revolutionary, if it simply what they were taught to think, or independent, critical and original thinking.
What major breakthroughs were the result of regurgitated, evolutionary thinking?
Revolutionary thinking will always question the status quo.
The Origin-of-Life Prize ® is interesting to me because it is encouraging revolutionary thinking as evidenced by this statement; "The winning submission will likely provide both a novel and cardinal conceptual contribution to current biological science and information theory."
That should be pretty exciting.
Both times evolutionary thinking had to buck established revolutionary thinking.
of course should read;
Both times revolutionary thinking had to buck established evolutionary thinking.
what do you expect when it's 2am anyway?
