How about a "same old spam" placemarker? I wish we had the capability on FR to show how many times Coyote has posted this same graphic...could it be thousands of times?

Moonies? I don't mind Moonies, actually. I am old enought to remember when conservatives only had Rush, the NYPost, and the Washington Times. The Washington Times was a haven for conservatives when the MSM was utterly ascendant and impenetrable.

And, after all, the left does have the Christian Science (Science!!) Monitor. There is no life, truth or substance in matter. All is infinite mind. and all that.

I happen to have a soft spot in my heart for Moonies.

I'm aware that the Washington Times is a darned wonderful publication, and it doesn't matter to me who owned and financed it. And as for who claimed what, I wasn't interested enough to know about it. But I know what Wesley Pruden believes, thanks to the Moonies. And Bill Gertz. I love the Washington Times.

You care more about what they believe than I do. I have noticed that the Moonies are more helpful than they are harmful. But you can ask the same stupid question again, if you like. Evos are nothing if they are not obsessive.

I guess that's because it's not the religion forum, and the thread is about Darwin. I refuse to address your silly provocations... Unless you think there's some threat out there against the Divinity of Darwin?

If ID really were science, there would obviously be a "valid secular purpose" to teaching it in a science classroom.

I disagree. Science has generally been taught with intelligent design as its underlying principle for decades, hence it has a valid secular purpose. The purpose does not even have to be secular in the first place, as our Constitution does not prohibit any interface or intermingling between science and religion.

The Constitution in no way prohibits the expression of any idea - religious or not - in a public, scientific, academic context and in fact guarantees free expression of the same. The only thing prohibited is government endorsement of a particular religious sect or denomination. ID is hardly party to a particular religion and in fact is demonstrated by all humans on a regular basis.

If evolutionism were pure science it would not be seeking the federal government's assistance in squelching ideas that make sense. What it is, however, is a philosophy of history built upon miscellaneous disciplines of science undertaken with the arbitrary, unscientifically determined notion that the "supernatural" is beyond its purview.

Science does not have the prerogative of declaring religion or ideas in accord with religion as having no basis in objective reality any more than science has the prerogative of declaring thoughts to be outside of objective reality.

The amount of circumstantial evidence is sufficient enough to warrant strong convictions.

...And thus my point!! "Strong Conviction" is NOT fact, it's religion, not science.

Thanks, for being honest.

Dave, I don't hold anyones words against you. That would be silly. I hold nothing against you. Maybe some evolutionists use words like stupid or ignorant sometimes. We, on the other hand get called satanists and evil. There are no satanists at DC. Remember No Kin to Monkeys at DC. Remember his opus? We are all going to rot in hell.

"Strong Conviction" is NOT fact . .

True enough, but also enough to get a person convicted in a court of law using forensic evidence.

Think so? You ought to set up a betting salon for your wild and delicious dreams and fond hopes.. I don't feel even remotely threatened by the Unification church. They've been around the US quite awhile and have shown no signs of hijacking aircraft into buildings.

That's the problem debating creationists -- lack of understanding of what a scientific theory is.

If all a theory needs is circumstantial evidence in order to be scientific, then you have no business disqualifying intelligent design as a scientific theory. If it requires more, then the theory of evolution is not qualified to be called as such.

If "proofs" are the sole domain of mathematics, then why get one's panties in a twist when reminded that evolution (in the wide sense) is a theory as opposed to a proven fact?

ID doesn't even qualify as a scientific theory.

It does if held to the standards required by evolutionists for their "theory." Furthermore, intelligent design enjoys thousands of examples for direct observation at any given moment where intellect is at work. That's more than one can say for what is essentially a philosophy of history concocted by the imagination based upon the assumption that where there is a common form there must be common history.

They DO!?

All I see are skulls that are all DIFFERENT!
