But the real problem is an advantage: Dimensio says, "The theory of evolution has no inherent political bias." In his view, the fact is evolution. Since evolution is science, voila! ergo-propter-hoc, evolution is without bias or prejudice.

If you believe that the theory of evolution actually has inherent bias, then it is your responsibility to demonstrate as much. If you believe that my statements are false, then explain how they are false. Claiming that I am either arrogant or dishonest while providing no evidence for the claims does not support your position.

Huh?

Dude, man. Why are you trying to haul me before the bench? I knows what I said. No ifs, ands, or buts. Especially non ifs. I said "and you know, Dimensio is right."

The inherent bias is that metaphysical considerations are not allowed. Evolution must explain all human behaviors and the outcomes of those behaviors. Human free will is not an acceptable factor for consideration, since in a system where, ultimately, ALL behaviors are the product of, and allegedly explainable by, physical processes, there is no such thing as true free will. We are all, as Pearcey states in her book Total Truth, machines made out of meat.

And Pearcey illustrates the logical conclusion of such thinking, by evolutionists, with the examples brought out in the article at the beginning of this thread (e.g., Pinker).

Jeepers, Dimensio, I didn't hear cornelis claim any such thing!
