Evolutionary Explanations Assume Evolution Explains
CEH ^ | December 4, 2009

Posted on 12/06/2009 7:20:24 PM PST by GodGunsGuts

Dec 4, 2009 — The facility with which some evolutionary biologists appeal to almost magical powers of evolution to explain anything and everything is revealed in some recent science articles. Whatever needs explaining is due to evolution – evidence or not. These four examples can be considered representative of the genre...

Maybe we could break with the fighting for a little time out... (Any evolutionists who read this, could you please resist the urge to be annoying and concentrate on fighting our supposed common enemy for a few minutes? It would be ever so refreshing).

Something funny going on over at twitter is predictions for 2010. A poster named andilinks is pretty good... here’s a couple she did:

In 2010 some aspiring reality show star will do something so outrageous that the MSM will devote a whole week’s programming to it 24/7.

In 2010 Timothy Geithner will be caught in the main vault at the fed covered with honey and million dollar Treasury Notes.

Here’s some of mine...

In 2010 John McCain will become a conservative again... for about 20 minutes.

In 2010 A new surgical technique will be invented allowing Joe Biden to have a brain transplant, finally making him smarter than his hair.

In 2010 The same surgeons who operated on Biden will permanently transplant tiny teleprompters on the inside of Obama’s eyelids.

In 2010 Nancy Pelosi will be visited by Satan, who will then try to negotiate with her to get his soul back.

In 2010 Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal will become the darlings of CNN... (Sorry, wrong list)!

Anybody else care to take a shot at it?

Stand back and finish your drinks folks, I think I have it all worked out.

People go to shopping malls to regain that missing sense of community and tribal fellowship that had as Hunter/Gatherers. And to overcome the flat feet they developed while turning rocks over for bugs. Evolution.

People outlive chimps and apes so the chimps and apes won't be heart broken at the passing of their keepers at zoos. This came about when the chimps stood up to look out over the Savannah grasses, discovered they were too short and decided when they were humans they would invent fire and lawn mowers. Evolution.

What was the other one? Yes, flowering plants. Flowering plants gained an advantage because australopithikins had big nasal cavities and flowers are always the way to an Ardi’s heart. That and small teeth. So apes evolved color vision and flower shops and the rest is mystery. Evolution.

Well, there you are. No birds. Can't stand birds after finding out Jack Horner wants to change'em into lizards or something. Cheers!

"It is good to expose evo-silliness, just as it is good to expose the silliness that would have us believe that humans are driving climate change.

New Earth Cretinism is even more laughable than the recent misconduct of the climate "scientists".

"OK, professor...

OK, Gilligan. Show me where, other than some pseudo-scientific creationist site that makes such predictions and what, specifically within any accepted morphological matrix, defines the types of changes you say are predicted.

"Creationists believe that our ancestors were created perfect."

And there are those who believe that God used the process of evolution to accomplish that.

One of my favorite quotes:

In the beginning God created evolution.

Oh come on! Quit the whining! If it weren’t for these posts and the tolerant nature of the host the guy at the end of the bar would be your entire audience. And I don’t think he’d listen.

Worse, it’s petty and tiresome.

"Worse, it’s petty and tiresome."

So now you are justifying making fun of the disabled, as long as it is in the service of the YEC cause. Do you really think Jesus is proud of you right now? I have a daughter with Spina Bifida and I have had to witness first hand the pain caused by insensitive comments, smirks and taunts like you are approving of. You are and GGG are both pathetic.

This is the second evo in search of a slight to claim that they are offended on behalf of a disabled child. In each case, they were responding to a word that was first used against creationists and simply turned around on the evos (notice that I was not the first to use the word this time either). The last evo got upset because the word “evotard” was used in response to another evo using the word “cretard”. The evo flew off the handle claiming that their daughter was retarded, and that they were deeply offended. Then a few of us looked up this evo’s previous posts on FR and elsewhere, and lo and behold...the evo was caught calling creationists “cretards” and “retarded” and worse over at Darwin Central.

Ever hear that story of the boy who protested too much?...

"This is the second evo in search of a slight to claim that they are offended on behalf of a disabled child."

There is an old saying that when in over your head, quit digging. If the comment was wholly justifiable why then did the moderator remove it?

To deny the insensitivity and un-Christian nature of your comments simply because some other "evo" claimed to have a retarded child makes your claim to the moral high ground in your jousting of Darwin's windmills as hollow as the false science you spew.

The really pathetic thing is that you lurk in the darkness of the internet spewing your bullsh*t and neither or c-y-c would have the balls to say something to my face or the face or the face of any other vet who has a child with a service related disability.

Have I made fun of anyone disabled ? (the term its self is offensive to my chair bound friend) Have I justified so doing? When? Where? Approving of?

You sound bitter about something in life that is manifestly unfair and unchangeable at the moment.

Do you ask why God would let this happen to someone has done nothing at all to deserve it? Maybe Why me?

My chair bound friend has never walked and can only stand after several surgeries. Her father left her mother at this girl's birth some twenty years ago.
Nevertheless, she's a happy person and counts herself blessed as neither she nor her mother are angry or bitter over what has taken place in their lives.
Rather they've come to understand that the healings Jesus performed while on earth are just a taste of what he would do as King in God's Kingdom.

So this young lady is happy and has a hope for the future. I feel blessed just knowing her and her mother since my challenges in life cannot begin to equal theirs.

And what is more, neither she nor her mother feel embarrassed or needing of sympathy for her problems.

Maybe the insensitive one is you. Insensitive toward your own attitude and feelings about your daughter's problems.

Is Jesus proud of me you ask. I ask that enough I need no one else to do so. But I am able to ask.

I'm sorry for your bitterness and anger. You have enough on your shoulders already.

As “pathetic” as I am I didn't know the source but it sounds like an offense in search of an offender.

If anyone should be offended by the term “retarded” it's me. I was a genius before I started reading some of the comments here and now I've slipped back at least by half. If I keep reading the Darwinist equivalent of Global Warming Prop. there's no telling how much I may luze.

Found it. Here’s the guy who got all offended over evos being referred to as “evotarded” (because of their supposed retarded child) after watching evos call creationist “cretards” and “cretins” for ages, and never saying a word (kinda like someone else we know on this thread...and don’t even get me started on the maliscious keywords this person uses to mock these threads!):

Hey GGG, it gets better! He’s even grumbling about you!

Mar 13, 2009 From Darwin Central, Whattajoke writes this diminutive description of Fischori, a Freeper, and he pisses all over FR. Watch for the choice of words:

Here’s my deal...

I quit posting on FR after the “purge...”

So I waded back into the murk that is FR right around election time - A good time to get back into it, I though.

I thought wrong. I recognized hardly anyone, and there was this new guy, GGG....As for Fichori, do we really care? Ho poses no threat to our person. He’s a complete goofball who adds nothing to a single thread he’s ever posted in over there. [Full disclosure: I just read this whole thread.] He’s most likely a 30-something single guy, physically unattractive, socially retarded, with a grudge against the world because it didn’t give him what he wanted at some point.... If I get around to it, I’ll write an opus explaining how FR has turned to crap. Either that, or Fichori will copy and paste this paragraph to get me banned. Hey Fichori -

Hmmm what was that word he used there to describe a loyal Freeper? Uhhh.... I believe he just said socially “retarded”

There you have it. Mods. I told you he was phoney, was baiting the discussion and he was baiting you too. I’ll leave it to you to deal with him

Ol’ ugly banned balrog666 was certainly happy to have Whattajoke back over to Darwin Central. Coyoteman still sounds pissed and like he’s got a touch of IBS over there. Licking his scabies too no doubt.

I know the feeling. In case you haven’t noticed, I engage the usual disruptors as little as possible now. I have noticed the honest evo is few and far between. They are usually the ones who DON’T FEEL COMPELLED FOLLOW US FROM THREAD TO THREAD TO THREAD TO THREAD TO THREAD TO THREAD....

You are getting a reputation for posting articles and not staying around to defend them.
