Those Defensive Darwinists

Its merits should be evaluated accordingly

Yeah, just ignore the emails and other evidence. Nothing to see here, move along.

[Liberal Classic]

You deny this quote was on your profile page?

[AndrewC]

You used the royal "we". Again, who died and made you king?

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"You show me the link where I have posted that quotation you allude to Sam Frances."

You posted it on you homepage, which you said was supposed to be your means of expressing your ideology and beliefs. You removed it, so there is no link, but we all saw it and copied it. The you posted a statement about how you were *pressured to remove the racist quote, and that those who did so were doing the Devil's work. Are you denying it was on your homepage?

[wyattearp]

...and the poet sheathes his pen...

I sincerely hope that you do not consider your writings to be "poetry".

[Coyoteman]

What mistake did I make on that post? Is it the use of the expression, "most PhDs assert that..." and your countering that PhDs cannot make a statement as they are not people, but rather are graduate degrees? It is understood by all what is meant by that phraseology - It is meant people who graduated with a PhD degree. God, you give a guy a PhD and he thinks he has acquired new facts!

You can't even make a mistake right. Here's the history:

=============

My post #161:

Evolution is of the devil's propagation.

Actually, evolution is a pretty well-supported scientific theory. How did you come up with such a mistaken idea?

=============

Your post #178:

Yeah, supported by evolutionistoids, but not most PhDs.

The fact is that most PhDs assert that macro evolution is impossible and, therefore, according to these PhDs, the odds are against evolution.

=============

My post #198:

Yeah, supported by evolutionistoids, but not most PhDs.

The fact is that most PhDs assert that macro evolution is impossible and, therefore, according to these PhDs, the odds are against evolution.

Son, I am a Ph.D. I studied human osteology and fossil man as two of my four fields for the Ph.D. exam.

ps. you have made a fool of yourself.

=============

You have not yet acknowledged your error. You made a gross overstatement, and then ducked the rejoinder.

And you still have not defended your statement that Evolution is of the devil's propagation, back in post #155.

[Son, are you a troll?]

[ml1954]

That's neither my quote nor have I posted it on any thread.

You put it on your profile page. FYI, that's like posting it on ALL links you post on. It's like an extension of you tag line.

Quoting: "Your "10,000 christian clergy" are unbelievers. There are many frauds in every profession, but nowhere so many as the 'clergy.' Our Lord spoke of them ('clergy' of his day on earth) as being "of your father the devil."
It would surprise me in no way if you put your 'faith' in one of them."

Reply: You seem to diss all the many Christians who accept evolution and the world of common sense and objective rational observation. Maybe you think there are two classes: (1) 'true' Christians who believe exactly as you do, and (2) "damned" Christians, atheists, Muslims, Jews, and rationalists. You may be right, but this is not the teaching of Jesus--There are many paths to truth.

There is nothing in 'intelligent design' that leads people to Christ. It is a big difference between Catholics and Protestants. It divides Conservatives. It is anti-scientific inquiry. It has no resonance with evangelical Christians.

ID therefore has no value, neither for Christianity nor for conservative values.

The emails say that people where he was doing library research gossiped about and were mean to him.

I suppose if you're desperate for martyrdom, that will have to do.

[Ichneumon]

[Did you try flowers and candy?]

Have you found them to be better than an ape?

They fling less poo.

(Speaking of which, anyone who thinks that humans can't possibly be related to apes because apes do unsavory things like fling poo, should ponder the fact that a lot of figurative poo gets flung by people on a regular basis -- just read most threads -- and literal poo gets flung by humans more often than we'd like to admit, at places such as prisons and such. P***ing contests are popular among all kinds of primates as well.)

[Ichneumon]

Please do not feed the red herrings.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

You are right; I misread naive for native. I am not wearing my glasses, I apologize.

But... you still have not said why you had that hateful quote on your homepage. :)

[Junior]

I use the Royal "We" because I'm special. Do you have a problem with that, or are you now basing all your arguments on how your opponents phrase their replies, rather than any actual research?

If you can't win with facts and data, banter semantics.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

Sorry guys, I messed up. Stingy said naive not native. I jumped the gun, and I apologize. I am not wearing my glasses tonight and misread his post.

[Junior]

The post to which I replied. The one where you make first mention of "federal grants." Lord, thank you for my enemies, for they be such fools.

[AndrewC]

The emails say that people where he was doing library research gossiped about and were mean to him.

Yeah, right, and no attempt to find an excuse to remove him was evident. As I stated, nothing to see here, move along.

[Ichneumon]

[ BTW, why do you care if they are *native* or not? :) ]

Don't misquote me. I said naive, NOT "native."

"I say, I say, it was a *joke*, son..."
