Actually, Mitch, notice how quickly the evos go from biology to comparing creationists to “nutbags, know-nothings, Koran literalist nutbags, random indigenous peoples around the world as those populations also believe in this creationist foolishness” (post 401); and then notice how they act like the creationist started it when the creationist responds (post 406).
Evos like tout their alleged intellectual superiority by making fun of anyone who doesn’t agree with their pet theory, no matter what the level of education they possess, despite the fact that many evos don’t even have a degree in science to begin with, it’s just a hobby for many. It has nothing to do with the actual fact of one’s intelligence, it has everything to do with adhering to a belief system. It has everything to do with stroking one’s ego at the expense of the reputation of another. Gauging one’s intellectual capabilities based on a nonintellectual criteria is absurd. I sure hope that that’s not an example of the kind of intellectual muscle used to do science.
They also like to presume that greats like Newton would believe in the ToE if only it had been around when they were alive. Presuming that someone dead would think like you is just wishful thinking. Well, if we’re going to speak for dead people, we can raise them a “Darwin recanted”. I sure hope that that’s not an example of the kind of intellectual muscle used to do science,either.
Evos also like to misrepresent what people say and play the victim card. I did not compare anyone to Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, or Kim Jung Il. I merely questioned the view of the *real* world. Presuming that belief in the supernatural makes some people out of touch with reality has no basis. Those who have no belief system concerning God are not more in touch with *reality* than anyone else. Those who refuse to acknowledge the supernatural have imposed on the world some of the most hideous regimes known to man. For that matter, I have yet to see that any atheistic regime has produced any good at all.
If the real world is the one without God, and those governments are an example of where man is without God, then we have a moral obligation to resist with everything within us the imposition of a Godless society with every ounce of strength we have. Just look at Soviet Russia, Communist China, Viet Nam when it fell, the current situation in NK. Scientists and evos who think that they’d be better off under a godless society need to realize that science has never fared well under those conditions. It will come back to bite them.
But the truth isn’t going to stop some people. After all, science isn’t about truth anyway. I guess that’s because they have no experience with it.
Well said, and it’s not about the science but just assuming for a moment it was, what kind of science needs to censor and sue others into silence to enforce their worldview of science?
I keep hearing that science isn’t interested in the supernatural, so what are they afraid of?
Darwinism can only survive if enforced with legal action?
Doesn’t exactly sound like survival of the fittest to me!
