A small, but representative compendium (since #1784):

You [Junior] and your yokels of evolution cannot deny a word I have said so you must insult.

You [addressed to both PH and Junior, but anchored to a PH posting] are giving bountiful evidence of your desiccated mind.

Yes Patrick, it is totally pathetic that you continue to spout insults and ad hominems because you cannot refute the evidence. You and your friends do not have a leg to stand on in defending your faith in evolution.

Patrick, re your #1791, do you know the meaning of ad hominem? That is, it appears you would rather try to discredit posters than stay with the subject.

The subject is a pathetic article that has drawn 1,800 posts. My theory is that this is so because the article is pathetic.

Begin with a supposed science magazine that bashes Creationists -- that's politics, atheist leftist politics. We don't have to look far for confirmaton -- the following from very early in the article:

...the massing evidence from paleontology, genetics, zoology, molecular biology and other fields gradually established evolution's truth beyond reasonable doubt. Today that battle has been won everywhere--except in the public imagination.

This is just a series of bold and blatant lies. The evidence is missing, not massing. Failure of public imagination? Hardly. The public's got it right. The failure is with decades of evolutionist propaganda in our public schools. The biggest lie, though, is "truth beyond a reasonable doubt". Evolution would fail in any court of law in the land. It has not made its case.

The article, Patrick, is just garbage, and it will remain garbage whether it draws 1,800 posts or 180,000.

Absolutely. This is a description of the quality of your posts and the inference thereof.

Here is a nearly complete sampling of your comments within the last several hundred posts.

OOBFOO

Don't think only about the easy money. There's also women. The first three get all they can handle. The biologist, on the other hand, probably suffers from charisma deficiency. And I never heard of a biology groupie.

No problem. They just won't admit it. And they'll claim the evidence is faked. And they'll say you're on the take. And they'll play Clintonian word games. What they will never do is look at the evidence and draw the obvious conclusions. This is not a problem with evolution; we're dealing with abnormal psychology here.

There's also selective associative guilt. Hitler? Clearly the product of "Darwinism". The Inquisition's torture and imprisonment of Galileo? Those guys weren't real scriptural literalists.

What was it that the alien said to the Jodi Foster character in "Contact"?

Please be careful about throwing such phrases around. That one makes my brain ache.

Great post. It reminds me of your long-ago example of card-shuffling, where the cards have velcro strips to simulate the way chemical compounds are formed, so that the required sequence pops up after only a few shuffles.

Why is DNA needed at all? Do the angels have DNA?

I know, I know. But when after maybe a thousand posts, it becomes obvious and totally beyond debate that someone is just not going to respond to evidence and reaason, I lose interest in anything such a person may say. This is my attitude toward both of the blues brothers, the bat man, and the OOBFOO boy. I have no interest in probing the functioning of their minds. It's fun, sometimes, to catalog their blunders, but that's my sole interest in them.

Indeed. Why I No Longer Debate Idiots.

Jenny, you'll have more luck here: TIME CUBE

Placemarker and Slime-free zone.

For that there is Confederate gray. Blue is for utterly hopeless causes.

Don't laugh. Such material is the main source of information for creationists.

More Jack Chick comics on line:

In the Beginning.
Big Daddy (Evolution).
Earthman (Adam & Eve).
I think the Taliban use the same "educational" techniques.

Blue-skipping placemarker.

Yet another blue-skipping placemerker.

Amusing. Pathetic. Both of those. Also, every now and then a bit of the old g3k peeps out of all the pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo:

Truly, informative!!(of PH)
