Quote | There's the admission folks, in his own words. Not a single word of this was about science. There is nothing you can prove to him, nothing that will change his mind.
He's here ... because on the social and government scene it is critical to correctly define human beings as what they truthfully are: Creations of the Creator God, made in the image of God, and placed in a position of dominion over all of nature. | Admission? Do you think I was trying to HIDE this? Not at all. I've said this several times. You must be a newcomer.
Quote | This is consistent for AFD, tho -- and for all other Creationists. Their whole agenda depends on convincing people that the more you know about a subject, the LESS qualified you are to speak about it. Thus the often-seen notion that biologists are the LAST people who should be talking about 'origins' -- much better to have mathematicians, engineers, pastors, or retired Air Force pilots. The less education they've had, the more 'objective' they are. | No. You'll notice that we have no agenda to attack the linguists (other than the silly little Portuguese fun we had), we don't attack the cancer researchers or doctors or geologists searching for oil, and many, many other good people. We are just attacking the General Theory of Evolution for the reasons stated above. Soon the lightbulb will come on for a majority of scientists regarding Intelligent Design and us 'amateur scientists' will go back to our churches and be quiet. This kind of thing has happened over and over again through the centuries and it will happen here as well.
Quote | Even amongst his illogical ramblings, the idea that this is a forum to 'educate the public' is astonishingly stupid. | Reading comprehension, Rilke. Not the public HERE. The public OUT THERE. See, let me walk you through it again.
(1) AF Dave needs to sharpen his arguments because he is actively involved in the education of children with regard to Origins. See www.kids4truth.com. He does not want to lead these children wrong, so he wants to test his arguments against some evolutionary biologists. He has big plans for greatly expanded information to be available at k4t. (2) So he comes to PT and finds some willing participants at ATBC, some of whom, like Rilke, have absolutely no clue what his goals are, but they try to guess. (3) AFD has immense fun debating, achieves his goal of honing his arguments, the ATBCers are happy because they think they are honing their arguments, or watching a comedy, practicing their insults, or whatever. (4) No one gets bored contemplating their navels. (or someone else's)
It's a win-win!
