To the extent that you have been called out for the dishonest poster that you are, and as much as you might wish it wasn’t about you, this article in fact is all very much about you and people like you
Care to address any of the points I made.
Moth to flame: read and learn.
Hitler was a Creationist who believed in fixed kinds.
Whether you realize it or not, everyone is a creationist (or Creationist, depending upon the esteem one holds that entity/Entity which created him). You see, whether you just spoke and brought yourself into existence (as Jesus Christ did the entire Universe), or by some intelligent mechanism of your own design – if you created yourself supposedly without any Divine help -- you are a creationist. Get used to it.
Maybe that simple concept has escaped you until now, but from this point forward you are without excuse – unless of course your dishonesty insists that you continue fooling yourself.
You are a creationist in very much the same way Hitler or even Darwin was a creationist:
1. Like Hitler, you believe your Creator is not the God of the Bible.
2. Like Hitler, you believe you are your own Creator – not that either you or he in spite of your self-adulatory collective “brilliance” could possibly tell anyone how it was that either of you brought yourselves into existence
3. As your own “Creators” you mistakenly believe you are the masters of your own destinies, and answerable only to your megalomaniacal selves.
4. Hitler called himself a Christian much like you do, but Hitler, like you, do/did not claim to be created by the God of the Bible. This is because the Bible declares that the Creator of the Universe and all life is Jesus Christ Himself -- who you reject, of course, even as did Hitler.
5. You are a “Christian” in name only, even as RINOs are Republicans in name only.
6. One is a Christian-In-Name-Only when one does not affirm what Jesus Christ claimed about Himself: The Truth, Creator, Son of God, and Redeemer of His Creation.
7. Hitler – also a Christian-in-Name Only – pathologically lied to himself and to those around him – again, much like yourself.
8. Darwin, at one time claimed to be a Christian, but ultimately rejected Biblical authority, much as you have.
9. Darwin’s writing manifests little to no original thought, much like yours does.
10. Darwin surprisingly enough manifested enough humility to admit that if credible evidence of reproducing transitional forms didn’t exist, his whole premise was toast. Remarkably, it’s his philosophical inheritors like yourself who have hitched your self-worth to this failed premise, and who can’t seem able to let go in face of all the failure, because to do so upends your whole identity. The facts be damned – it’s an ego and intellectual self-preservation thing for you now. It never was about science. In your case it is merely “survival of the petty ego.”
Biblical Creationists like myself have been calling out Christians-In-Name-Only like yourself on these boards for years. If you do not believe what Jesus Christ says and conduct yourself as though you do, you simply are not by any biblical definition a Christian.
The Soviet Communists rejected Darwin's theory in favor of a Lamarkian mechanism.
Comrade, get it through your head. Darwinism, Owen-ism, Wallace-ism, Hobbes-ism, Lamark-ism, Gobineau-ism, Spenser-ism, Plato-ism, Aristotle-ism, Haeckel-ism, Huxley-ism, Lyell-ism, Galton-ism, Sanger-ism are all joined at the hip of evolutionary self-transformation with all the self-importance attached to establishing an exalted “elite,” -- a human super-race beyond some supposedly lesser -- and exploitable – predicate “others.”
"Darwinism" and by extension, "applied Darwinism," and "social Darwinism" in today’s parlance has come to mean the singular embodiment of “survival-of-the-fittest,” “might-makes-right” philosophy that has underpinned every philosophy that has sprung from the concept: Das Kapital to the Descent of Man to Mein Kampf. Social Darwinism informs crony capitalism as much as it ever informed Margaret Sanger’s “Negro Project.” The Soviet Union survived as long as it did, because Western crony capitalism allowed for it to survive.
Some Commies rejected the term “Darwinism” largely on the basis of its use by crony capitalists of the time to justify English hegemony and the global political power projected by it, and with it, England’s regents who were cousins to the deposed Romanovs. Contrasting Darwinian with Lamarkian evolution is a distinction without a difference.
Will you also try to say that Das Kapital and The Communist Manifesto did not inform the political and social system, which became the Soviet Union, in spite of the fact Marx credited Darwin with the biological rationale for his political theory – and you’ll do so all because some latter-day Reds were jealous of the powerful, well-heeled Brits? Get some historical perspective before you post such amateurish drool.
Creationists claim to not accept evolution and the (semi)common descent of species - except when they helpfully explain how it all happened at many hundreds of times the rate observed in evolutionary biology.
Biblical creationists say no such thing. You’ve transited from a polluted stream of consciousness into a world of babbling incoherent nonsense.
Creationists claim to accept ‘micro’-evolution when they fell [sic.] it is politic to do so…
I never use the term “micro-evolution,” because it tends to confuse people just like you. The correct concept is that of “adaptation,” because the organism is merely calling upon information with which it has been programmed by its Creator to adapt and to cope with its environment. You keep playing your politics with all the failed polemics and biblical Creationists will continue to do the credible, truth-seeking science.
…but then helpfully explain how any such mechanism is absolutely impossible - and that every useful DNA variation that ever existed was created and placed in the genome of the primordial “kinds”.
“Primordial” is a term of the evolutionist’s art, as in the oft referenced, “primordial soup” -- a la Miller and Urey’s failed abiogenesis experiments of the early 50’s. It is not a term Biblical creationist’s either need or use. You have to accept the fact that your premise of evolution requires an abiogenetically-derived system, belching forth directive biological information for processes not yet brought into existence, or equipped in any predicate fashion to either interpret or to act upon the messenger RNA thereof.
It’s like designing and launching a computer program driver into the ozone in search of a program that has yet to be written for a purpose that yet has to establish any rationale for its existence. You have failed to identify first cause or the predicate rationale for any of your evolutionary premise. What’s the purpose?
And if one must call upon sentient rationale, is one not now forced to speak of an Intelligent Designer to establish the First cause and from it the rationale behind the Creation – of anything?
Your evolutionary premise gives you no reason for existing apart from your inherent meaninglessness. In your world you can create yourself without a predicate rationale for doing so and you can therefore pretend to be anything you want to be on this board – a “conservative,” perhaps, or maybe even posturing as a “Christian.”
You can fool yourself. You can lie to others. Fools don’t last for long on FR and liars are often dispatched with extreme prejudice around here.
And are Creationists incapable of standing behind their own words without pinging a dozen or more of their amen chorus?
Your FReeper sign up date says Aug 1, 2007, but most of us have long suspected that you are nothing more than a retread from the Darwin Central days, posting under a newer name. You waited long enough past the 2006 flushing of the Darwin Central cabal, but you and a few others have come back under newer names as the “bowl floaters” on the Board.
Most of that “amen chorus” of writhing, whining, space-cadet, Gollum-gasbagged, materialistic Darwinians were banned to the perdition of their respective chat rooms for atheists and the DU blog site long ago.
If you are finding yourself outnumbered by true conservatives around here, well, looks like you’ll just have to get used that.
The reasoning resident within all that ejacu-gelato splooge between your ears is likely to find a more receptive audience somewhere other than here.
Feel free to go there.
