Not sure if anyone cares but I responded to Joe's latest post as follows:
| Quote | Is Joe G an Intellectual Coward? It appears that way.
But appearences can be decieving (sic) so I defer to the evidence so that you can make your own decision:
1- Joe G is always quick to disparage anyone who comes to his site, but when pressed it is obvious he doesn't even understand basic biology. IOW he appears to be too lazy to do any actual research about the subject.
2- When pressed to support his ID position so that we can compare the two, he never does.
3- Instead of staying on-topic in any thread that requests that he support his point-of-view, he hems, haws, beats-around-the-bush, quotes The Privileged Planet, calls people stupid, throws a few online tantrums, but never does as requested.
4- A lot of people have asked, several times now, that the IDists present a testable hypothesis based on their ID position. That is present a testable that demonstrates telic, ie non-stochastic, processes can do what they claim. Yet all we get is more nonsense, o (sic) substance and definitely no hypothesis.
5- When told that there isn't any data, scientific or otherwise, that demonstrates that the physiological and anatomical differences between land mammals and cetaceans, between chimps and humans, can be explained by a designer all we get in return is a vague literature bluff- meaning the answer I get is "It's in the Privileged Planet."
However evolution is not being debated - it's already an established fact making this blog totally redundant other than as a form of christian apologetics. And the data I requested is not in any peer-reviewed journal- yes I have looked. If Joe G thinks I am wrong the easiest way to support that claim is to find ONE peer-reviewed artcle that contains the data I requested.
6- When all else fails we get banned or moderated.
The only reason for such a ban/moderation is that it's easier than having to face reailty.
The bottom line is their position does not make any predictions based on any telic, ie non-stochastic, process. The position can't be objectively tested.
That is why he will not answer our request. To do so would be to expose his position for what it is- faith trying to be passed off as science.
IOW the IDists are nothing but intellectual cowards.
And all the above is why I hope Joe G will be running for his local school board in the next election. Getting this chump in Court and forcing him to answer any question regarding biology will be well worth the resulting hilarity. No one has yet to say anything about Joe G's presentations in area kindergartens, so I doubt anything will change once he becomes milk monitor for a week. |
