Wowowowow!

Jasper, are you infering that ftk might be... lying? (insert weird video of groundhog turning towards camera with scarry look and jumpy soundtrack here)

Not necessarily. There are at least three other options:

1) She's ignorant.

2) She's not very intelligent.

3) She's nucking futs.

oohhh! oooohhh!! Can I haz joker?


No?


Aw right, I'll take all three then...

If FTK is faking, it is probably one of the biggest, best, most extensive Poe Award winning efforts ever.

I'd love for her to be fooling us, that would be brilliant. I'd laugh if it was really Olivia Judson (or someone) in disguise.

Others will probably point, mock, and abuse. I, though, am impressed. That third video gives a totally new and unexpected meaning to "March of the Penguins". You, Sir, are to be applauded for that performance.

Wow - this is cool.  Check out the acceptance/rejection by education level.

The highest level of evo rejection is from those who have some college, but didn't finish.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing?  Does just *attending* college make a person more likely to arrogantly dismiss conflicting knowledge, as compared with actually finishing college or going on for graduate work?

AFAICT, Jasper wasn't inferring/implying that FtK was any of those three options . . . s/he was just encouraging us to follow the evidence where it leads!  :)  :)  :)

Yo Cheryl,

Don't get too excited there...the way that poll was worded I would be compelled to answer yes to the question "Do you believe in the theory of evolution".

What a moronic way to word the stupid poll...of course I believe in the theory of evolution...duh.  Obviously the mechanisms of evolution are detectible in regard to adaptation or microevolutionary change.  Christ, the people who write some of these polls are idiotic...or Darwinian...:)  Same difference.  The whole scope of Darwinian evolution is not that simplistic.

You know, you have yet to prove that you "believe" it. Actually, you have to prove that you understand anything about science. Someone citing Walt Brown as an expert is not likely to be considered relevant.

Even though this is a dedicated FtK thread, she is just trolling for attention here. In that light, it might be useful if we would just ignore her here, as we should do for any other troll.

We know that she will not engage in any critical thinking. We know that she will revert to insults at the slightest provocation; in fact her entire last comment was one long insult.

I propose we ignore her just to see how shrill she will get...

*FtK sticks her tongue out at *all* of you*


Yo Ja FtK, hit a nerve?  

I agree that the "believe in" shouldn't appear in any poll having to do with acceptance/rejection of well-established scientific theories.  

So if you're all about rejecting bad polls, then of course you've already publicized how bad the latest DI/Zogby poll is, right?  How Zogby used the same set of discredited questions they used in 2003?

Or the fact that the DI took one of Darwin's quotes grossly out of context (surprise!!!) in their survey, as noted by Jeremy Mohn.  Jeremy notes that the DI uses this  - "A fair result can be obtained only by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on both sides of each question." - as the admitted cornerstone of their misnamed Academic Freedom Day.  Jeremy further shows that

   
Quote
Unfortunately, the quote is glaringly out of context. Here are Darwin's actual words from the introduction of On the Origin of Species:

   
Quote
This Abstract, which I now publish, must necessarily be imperfect. I cannot here give references and authorities for my several statements; and I must trust to the reader reposing some confidence in my accuracy. No doubt errors will have crept in, though I hope I have always been cautious in trusting to good authorities alone. I can here give only the general conclusions at which I have arrived, with a few facts in illustration, but which, I hope, in most cases will suffice. No one can feel more sensible than I do of the necessity of hereafter publishing in detail all the facts, with references, on which my conclusions have been grounded; and I hope in a future work to do this. For I am well aware that scarcely a single point is discussed in this volume on which facts cannot be adduced, often apparently leading to conclusions directly opposite to those at which I have arrived. A fair result can be obtained only by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on both sides of each question; and this cannot possibly be here done.

Charles Darwin
On the Origin of Species


By replacing a semi-colon with a period, the first part of Darwin's original sentence has been deceptively changed into what appears to be a complete thought. Contrary to what the DI would have us believe, Darwin was not referring to a debate between evolution and some purported alternative explanation. He was referring to his own ideas concerning evolution and lamenting the fact that he knew of so many supportive observations that he could not possibly present them all - even in his 500+ page "abstract."

Personally, I think that it is quite fitting that the folks at the Discovery Institue would "honor" Charles Darwin's birthday by actively misrepresenting something that he wrote and then using it to further their own anti-evolution agenda. It is precisely this kind of hypocritical and unreflective behavior that exemplifies their twisted sense of "honor."


So of course, in the interests of scholarship, FtK is also willing to refute Don McLeroy's egregious quotemining, unlike the DI's John West who drools over it as a "tour-de-force."  Right?

C'mon, give us a link.  Show us how you're righteously standing up to bad surveys.  Aren't you the one who claims to have a "slightly neurotic obsession for finding truth?"

It's kinda hard to pluck the beams out of your own eyes when you're busy sticking your tongue out at everyone else . . .

That's OK, it was a good rant, and well-deserved.

I think that ignoring her here is win-win. If she posts here and everyone ignores her, it will be great. If she doesn't post here just to show us that she isn't as shrill as we think, it's even better!

It's quite simple, really:

micro-    adj., which has been observed
macro-    adj., which has not been observed

This conveniently prevents any observation from ever having to be considered evidence of the macro-evolution.  Because, as we all know, the underlying dynamic is really more or less this:

micro-    adj., Biblical
macro-    adj., atheistic

To create an ordered universe
As the only possible proof of its own inheritance.

Guaranteed to run Ftk out:

Quote
1.  Is it okay for ID proponents to post personal information of the internet?   NO

2.  Do you think that Wes and/or steve would not remove your personal information from the board if someone posted it?  
No, I believe they would....that is why I was giving them the warning that someone may be listing personal information about me.


3.  Do you think that the Baylor curators and other officials post their home addresses and phone numbers to the internet?   I have not checked into that so I do not know.  I would assume that most do not.

4.  Why re you back posting here at AtBC?   I believe I answered that on this page or the last page.  checking the previous 3 pages, there is no answer from Ftk as regards this question.  There are however, many complaints about having to answer questions and the ridiculous expectations of such. –blipey

5.  How does Behe know what is in a group of books without ever having read the books?   !!! This question is ridiculous.  Obviously, he wouldn't, and I'd have to ask Behe if he was every allowed to go through every book and article one by one and make two separate piles of what he had and had not read.  But, I tried desperately to explain in an earlier discussion that just because we have theories about how something *may have* occurred, that does not mean that all the questions have been answered nor should they be regarded as "fact". I’m counting this one as answered because of the first sentence “obviously, he wouldn’t”.  That being said, the commentary after that phrase proves that she’ll never be able to answer question 6.  perhaps this is why she stopped answering questions. –blipey

6.  What is the point of the Behe/unread books discussion?

7.  According to ID Theory, how did the immune system develop?

8.  What is gained by jettisoning ToE and saying God did it?

9.  In the light of a science teacher teaching that the study of beetles is not a scientific effort and possibly that spiders evolved from insects (if evolution were true), how is ID theory driving kids toward science?

10. Why don't IDers pursue RESEARCH GRANTS, from the Templeton Foundation, for example?

11. Are you afraid to examine the sequence evidence for ToE?

11A.  Added.  Do you understand what sequence evidence is?

12. Where did Albatrossity2 claim that his students were religious freaks?

12A.  Added.  Where did blipey claim that his nephew's teacher was "a source of evil"?

13. Why don't IDers publish in PCID?

14. Why hasn't PCID been published in over two years?

15. Do you believe that Darwinists have kept PCID from being published?

16. How?

17. Can ID be called a theory when it hasn't made even one prediction?

18. Yes or no: ID wouldn't benefit from publishing any articles, anywhere.

19. Yes or no: Your children should be taught the historical insights of the Bhagavad Gita?

20. What sort of Waterloo can we look forward to on February 8, 2008? Nebraska banned the electric chair as the sole method of execution.  Did anything else happen?

Interesting side note. Just came across this comment back on page 102 where you berate people for not having read the pertinent books.  Which begs several more questions I'll put here.  Why is reading material important?  Do you think it might have been important for Behe to read some books before commenting on them?  Have you read the textbook that Albatrossity2 sent you?  Have you got that list of peer reviewed articles you've read ready to go?  Are you seriously arguing that we should read books and that IDers don't have to?

21. What are IDers doing to garner respect?

22. Given that you believe ID is science because of "design inference", why is ToE not science because all it has is inference?

23. Can any human being know what is contained in a book without having read the book?

24. If everyone died in the Flood, who wrote all the different stories down?

25. What year was the Flood over? 2300 BC, answer provided for Ftk by blipey

26. What year was the height of the Egyptian Empire? 2030 BC, answer provided by blipey

27. What was the population of the world in that year? 30,000,000, answer provided by blipey

28. How did 8 people (6 really) make that many people?


29. Is Dembski a creationist?

30. How would monogamous gays destroy heterosexual marriage?

31. How did Koalas get from Ararat to Australia?

32. Do you believe that the FLOOD is a scientifically tenable idea?  yes

33. Are the people who run Baylor Darwin Police?

34. Are those same people Baptist?

35. What does this mean?

36. Given that HIV cannot have evolved (Behe), which of the 8 (6 really) people on the ark were carrying HIV?

37. There are at least 40 distinct STDs. Were they distributed evenly among the passengers on Noah's ark, or was there like one Ultra-skank who had all 40?

38. Do you think that gravity is “just a theory” and therefore should be “taught critically” (to use the ID phrase)?

39. If not, what makes the details we don’t know about gravity different from the details we don’t know about evolution?

40. Do you believe Common Descent = Common Design?

41. Do you believe that Macroevolution = (not observed so did not happen)?

42. Despite the documented evidence, do you believe that macroevolution is based solely on historical inference?

43. Can you define macroevolution (in your own words)?

44. What evidence would confirm this?

45. Did God just make it look like the horse evolved, but in fact tinkered with the design along the way?

46.  Is the horse the only thing that evolved, but everything else is designed?

47. Given your statement that the idea of the Geologic Column was introduced by Darwinists after 1860, FtK, were the "periods" and "eras" added after 1860 "to fit the evolutionary theory"?

48. Or, since the early 19th century work by Smith, Cuvier, et al. led to the identification of the Geological Column in the 1820’s, were they (periods and eras) devised by creationists before 1860 to fit the evidence?

49.  Why is the Cambrian Explosion a problem for the Theory of Evolution?

50.  Did the Cambrian Explosion occur?

51.  If yes, can Walt Brown’s Hydroplate Theory still be valid?

FtK exerts more and more influence in teh ID wad ... FL prefers her to trial transcripts as a reference for what Behe said in the Dover trial.
