Several of us are checking out. Guts is just tap dancing. He's got nothing to say.

I'm just bored at the moment. I'll likely get into some more serious AE errors and deceit in the comming days.

Nelson, you're a fraud, and we've seen it all before. Toodles.

Wow ... Guts, page 6:

I would be more than happy to debate anywhere you'd like, even on non-neutral venues.

... 17 pages of spewing insults and failure to engage in any substantiative discussion ...

Do you think you are fooling anyone ? Heck, just linking to a post that outlines your position would be sufficient to get things rolling, if you were interested in honest discourse.

Even as trolling, it's pretty third rate. Too much repetition, not enough content to draw people in.

That pretty much describes this entire thread.

I'm not here to defend my position I'm here to point out the lying that is going on here. For example, Frostman has already admitted to lying as a result, so it appears I am effective.

Yes, that we're faggots. Really brilliant work. Enjoy your stay. Somebody explain to Guts that 157,000 blog posts and zero papers is not a scientific revolution. I'm out.

How about one?

Describe a SINGLE instance of hypothesis testing uniquely driven by ID theory. A quick description of the experimental prediction (and the theoretical basis thereof), why those predictions differ from those derived from orthodox evolutionary theory, in what sense the null result would disconfirm a tenet of ID, the actual results, and the implications for future empirical work.

Then use that work to amplify the basic issues you raised above.

Here is an example, Nelson.

Land animals evolved from fish. Land animals are common by about 300 million years ago.

Prediction: Between 400 and 300 million years ago, there are fossils of fish with anatomy in between fish and tetapods.

Result: Ahlberg, P. E., Luksevics, E. & Lebedev, O. 1994. The first tetrapod finds from the Devonian (Upper Famennian) of Latvia. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B 343, 303-328.

See how easy that is?

Now you do one.

But why? Why are you here? You don't want to talk about science or ID, you don't have any response beyond yelling insults or a fourth-form retort (for American readers, that's, um, around 14 years old.).

What are you enjoying so much? Don't you worry that it's making you, your friends and everything you claim to find important look, well... stupid?

I keep trying to explain this to you. but you're not understanding. It's not that it's secret.

Is this related to a list of Commie sympathizers in the State department?

The famous Tikaalik fossil is particularly interesting for the current discussion because the researchers went to the field location because it matched predicted age and environmental conditions that were predicted to yield this sort of predicted intermeadiate.  

See?  Prediction from theory followed by experiment/obsevation will yield important results, IF there is a theory that is not just a pile of crap.

So, Nelson? Your turn to present one of the dozens (heheh) of ID successes.

Edited to add: Come on Nelson, get with it!

Geepers, Guts.  Try as you might, you cannot be stupider than joy.  She's had decades of practice, and I suspect you're still in the rookie leagues.

Heck, you haven't yet approached Bradford's pathetic level of argumentation.  You'll need to continue this vacuous evasion for a few years to catch up to him.

And as melt-downs go, yours cannot touch the quality of MikeGene's screen-smokers.

Bottom line - you're still peon fourth class in MikeGene's coterie.  Try to accept your lot in life and get on with things.

So that was about 100 people who read Nelson's being spanked.

I hope he enjoyed it.

Oh, wow. Busy programming all weekend and look what I miss.

It's like the kid who knows everything - just ask him. Except when you do he doesn't have an answer to anything. If you stump him, all he can do is spit and bluster and throw insults.

Really, I thought most people progressed from that form of argument by high school. Apparently not.

I thought I already made it crystal clear why I am here. I exposed two instances of deceit both from steve and Frostman, and I will continue to do so, even with the science. I'm not here to explain and defend my position, I go to TT and blog for that.

How was I spanked? I documented two instances of lies about my blog, and one of the liars admitted it. I'd say i'm doing pretty good.

Are yes... I'll only discuss at my fortress of creobottery where reality based comments get disappeared.

Nice one Guts!

No Guts, if You feel that way, discuss here, where the ability to edit the history wont be given to you. You're already been found wanting in that regard in the short time you've been here.

ID predictions?

Like I said, I'm not here to explain to a bunch of trolls my position, it's a complete waste of time. I'm only here to expose the lies and deceit that crop up here. It's very simple concept to understand.

That's a great assertion: Here I am trolling at a blog where I've nearly posted 5000 times. I haven't posted at Telic Tards at all.

You and reality aren't very close, eh?


Why not post here, Guts? At least we have a decent readership and lots of scientists on hand..
