There were loads of excellent articles, including his testimony (which I've often used when arguing with YEC's). It would be a shame to lose them. Thankfully, his story has been archived on Greg Nayman's website: http://www.oldearth.org/whyilef....eft.htm

Don't know his current medical status. -------------- JoeG: And by eating the cake you are consuming the information- some stays with you and the rest is waste.

Occam's Aftershave Posts: 1258 Joined: Feb. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Oct. 18 2012,23:00    Glenn Morton showed up at TWeb again yesterday, posting a long rambling ranting diatribe about most anything and everything he claims is attacking his religion. link Be forewarned it's pretty depressing.  I'm afraid Morton is going all John Davidson, turning into an angry nutter recluse with less grasp of reality every day.  Or maybe it's the chemo affecting him. Very sad.   -------------- JoeG: And by eating the cake you are consuming the information- some stays with you and the rest is waste.

I'm not remotely religious, but if that's how people make sense of their lives, good luck to 'em. I'm not above mocking dumbness, but ... on bigotry, he has a point. If someone is stupid and religious ... it's the stupidity, stupid. It's not the being religious. I wish him well. -------------- Evolutionists trust entropy for creation of life but are like men who horse a crocodile to get across a river - niwrad. The organism could already metabolize citrus.

I found a lot of the articles very useful, especially when arguing with YECs. Still, at least his testimony has been archived on various sites I disagree with him about the YECs though. I think they pose as big a threat to the chuech as they do to everyone else. I don't think he's been particularly badly treated by the Atheist/Skeptic fraternity either, so I can't see what his problem is. His particular type of cancer isn't good, so I hope he's O.K.

Unless something outside of my control - God forbid - should happen. I guess that given the opportunity, irrational religion may corrupt an otherwise rational mind. -------------- My new avatar is so lovely.

Creationism is a false doctrine. Glenn's pages illustrate this decisively. His contributions are too valuable to be allowed to disappear.

There's a lot of good stuff in there including material that was missing from Glenn's original website (dead links etc.) Talkorigins would be a good place to archive it, in my opinion. Quote Glenn is claiming copyright on those pages I think he has said they could be freely distributed as long as no modifications or changes were made, if I remember correctly. I agree they're far to valuable to be allowed to disappear

That's not automatically true, and on many forums it's entirely false, The copyright may belong to the forum. Take a look at the bottom of this page. I will only say that considering the concept of fair use for educational purposes, copyright may be moot. And when arguments are made in public that may influence court decisions or legislation, I think it will be difficult to get this toothpaste back in the tube. -------------- ... a poster child for irresponsible and deceitful misrepresentation of design theory on the Internet. http://tinyurl.com/9axtwbe....9axtwbe
