Posted by Junior, in post 186: "I find this comment* interesting for a number of reasons. First, there is an implicit racist statement: "stupidest white man" -- not "stupidest man." Secondly, there is the ad hominem: not only is Darwin stupid, but Gould and Eldredge are "feebs." Thirdly, there is absolutely nothing of substance in this posting at all. It is simply name calling. And this coming from a man who believes: Earth orbited Saturn closely without being torn apart by tidal forces, frozen and irradiated; the Grand Canyon was formed by a lightning bolt despite the lack of fulgarites; that dinosaurs lived only a few thousand years ago despite lack of paleontological evidence; and that humans are the result of genetic engineering on the part of a person or persons unknown. Methinks this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
The "comment*", in question, which is yours medved, which you do seem to repeat many times:
For the lowdown on Chuck Darwin, stupidest white man of all time and his BS theory, and on the continuing efforts of feebs like Steve Gould and Niles Eldredge to keep the charade going for another generation:
My question to you medved is this: Do you really believe the Earth orbited Saturn at one time? Or that humans are the result of genetic engineering? Or that the Grand Canyon is the result of lightning strike(s)?
I'm really just curious right now more than anything. I can see you have your hands full debating others, so, just simple yes or no answers will suffice, thanks.
The simplest case is the grand canyon. We're not talking about a "lightning strike" here; we're talking about an electrical discharge between this planet and some other cosmic body, a comet, asteroid, or another planet in prehistoric times. The fractal topography, the sinuous rills and infinite quantity of "tributaries" are precisely what you get running an arc welder to rocky ground. The material got vaporized and blasted off into space so that we don't find the huge pile of debris you'd expect out in the Colorado river delta.
There is no plausible case for the idea of the Colorado river carving that canyon out of stone. Real rivers which are 20 miles across are relatively shallow; you can wade out into the Amazon or the Volga quite a ways before you have to swim. The last thing in the world you'd ever expect to see walking up to the shore of something like the Volga would be a 2000' straight drop with sharp and pristine rocks in evidence everywhere you look and mesas which, had the whole fricking scene been that of a river, would have been 3000' below water, also with sharp and pristine rocks rather than being glassy smooth as you'd expect.
You won't get an answer from him. He typically runs and hides when pressed for such admissions.
