Here's a rare pic of said founder of Texas in action:

Neo-Darwinian Theory Fails the Mutation Test
by Brian Thomas, M.S.*
Darwin’s original conception of simple-to-complex evolution maintained that nature selected certain individuals with superior features, and in this way gradually, one tiny feature at a time, an entirely different creature could eventually form.
The source of new features or feature fragments for nature to select, however, eluded evolutionists for decades. To answer this, the Geological Society of America in 1941 formulated a new version of Darwinian evolution. They decided that genetic mutations should be considered the source of new information for nature to select, and thus the Neo-Darwinian Theory was born.
Since that time, however, science has revealed that mutations have fallen far short of the lofty accomplishments ascribed to them...

Demeaning critics based on academic credentials is number 1(a) on that list.
So needful, so transparent, so very pathetic.
“Demeaning critics based on academic credentials is number 1(a) on that list.”
Well, don’t use academic lightweights and you’ll be insulated from that criticism. Mr. Brian Thomas, M.S. is a lightweight.
“I have a list of dodges employed by evos.”
And I can’t get a straight answer from any Creatard about science and faith being different things, not mutually exclusive.
These creationist think tank articles are extremely entertaining. They start out with an aggressive subject statement and end up with a “Just like in the bible.....” statement. They also use extensive references from actual legitimate scientific journals - but do not appear to actually read and understand the references.
As a Christian, I’m actually embarrassed for these poor folks - they have so entwined their faith and science that they put impossible strains on their beliefs. But in the end they have to come to the same conclusion as everyone else that uses their highly-evolved (with divine direction) brain and recognize science is the knowledge man has gathered, with the best information we have, and faith is.....well...faith - just as it’s always been.
Here's the bottom line: Evo-dweebs (pocket protectors and all) are emotionally stuck in high school. The flaunting of their "magnificent" mental prowess and the accompanying arrogant dismissal of all challengers is truly the revenge of the nerds. It's a tacky, spiteful, transparent defense mechanism. I'm sorry all the cool kids mistreated you in high school. But get over it already. Or at least find a more honest way in which to strike back at them.
For, you see there's an insurmountable flaw in your attack. No matter how desperately high you pile your mountains of "amazingly intellectual" inference and conjecture, you simply do not have the facts on your side.
We do.
Oh man, you misunderstand me. I would never disrespect Stone Cold Steve Austin, or any of the proud graduates from his university. Do you think Brian Thomas M.S. knows the Stone Cold Stunner, or is that reserved for Ph.D.s?
Hey could you post that list of evo dodges? I’d love to see it.

Somebody obviously didn’t get let into the chess club and/or the ham radio club in high school.
I’m so sorry - members of those clubs can be ruthless, and the trauma of it’s victims can manifest itself in later life. Please accept my apology - we didn’t know the social influence and power we wielded and unfortunately often did so carelessly. Only now can I see the carnage clearly, and it makes me sad.
Science, of course, in the abstract doesn’t depend on qualifications or degrees, but in today’s world it is almost always the case that the people who are truly moving their fields forward will be PhDs. Does this mean that it’s absolutely impossible for a grad student or perhaps someone of even lesser schooling to happen upon something new or significant? Of course not, but the various fields have been developed to such an extent that it’s highly unlikely that someone who hasn’t reached that level will even be able to understand the current status and open questions of his field well enough to be able to address them.
Eh, joke, I presume? That university was named after one of the founders of Texas.
