More facts not in evidence.. Bible thumpers created the word ‘darwinist’ as a slur, and you damn well know it.

Trolling again I see, Gauche Gnomo.

Thanks for the ping!

In the 1966 edition of The American College Dictionary published by Random House,Inc., on page 308, under the word, “Darwinisim” is listed the term “Darwinist” as a noun and adjective with “Darwinite” as an alternative.

So, no, my use of the term DOES NOT refer just to the self described and since you are not in control of the vocabulary, I will continue to use the term “Darwinist” quite properly applied to evolutionists, thank you.

Modern Evolutionary Synthetics is just the triple knit lime green bell bottoms with white patent leather shoes repackaged as the new and improved Darwinism.

making up words to make some kind of a point?

[count-your-change]

I don’t make things up for any reason, it just went over your head.

[allmendream]

Excellent post.

Trying to understand modern biology without understanding evolution is like trying to understand the state of the modern world without any knowledge of history.

Sure you can gather all the pertinent facts of what exactly is happening right now all around the world, but rather difficult to understand those facts without any historic context.

An “unoccupied niche” is like that job I’m going to make for myself, it’s there in theory but no one will be able to see it except in hindsight and then everyone will say how clearly they saw it right from the beginning, it being so obvious and all.

In short it’s unoccupied because it doesn’t exist and it only exists when it becomes occupied. Clear? If yes, I’ll explain again, If no, I’ll stop.

This evolution is great fun!

Just have to face it, anti-evolutionism is to conservatives what socialism is to the Left...beliefs held despite the overwhelming evidence.

[Gondring]

I assume that you are referring to the “punctuated equilibrium” branch of evolutionists?

Not only them.

[Gondring]

ooh...Random House American College! Nice liberal dictionary there. You could probably fetch a pretty penny for it at DU.

[count-your-change]

Naw, I'll give it to you right now so you'll have it to use over there (you'll need it), and keep the pretty penny, I hear liberals mint them!

[Gondring]

No thanks. I use good conservative ones.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Your propaganda vanities are getting rather annoying. Take it to church.

[count-your-change]

How can you determine what is a “conservative” dictionary and can you name one that meets that criteria?

[GodGunsGuts]

Thanks for the encouragement. Why am I not surprised that you identify with the Left and hail from Northern California. I will be sure to put up an extra post extolling the wonders of God's creation (and exposing Darwood’s evo-religious creation myth) to compensate for the ignorant leftist bigotry contained in your lame reply.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Whoa, he used the L word on me. Is that permitted in the scriptures?

[GodGunsGuts]

Be sure to get a chain for that L, as I’m sure you will wear it proudly.

[lefty-lie-spy]

I see. Anyone that doesn’t agree with your propaganda is a not a Conservative. Grow up, son.
