I was never explicitly banned... But my comments did mysteriously stop appearing at UD.

Teach the controversy, huh?

It's like Conservapedia. Wikipedia is evilly biased because it doesn't follow the Whackjob Christian Fundamentalist line. That means Conservapedia gets to be as goose-steppingly Conservative Christian as it likes - and that doesn't count as bias.


Oh yeah - do sockpuppets count? A big hi to vesf if he's listening :)

Upon my return from a couple days away from the computer I found Id been summarily expelled from the inner sanctum of the big tent.

Here are a couple of ground rules that werent spelled out to me about being allowed inside the big tent:

1) Thou shalt not question the Discovery Institute, its purposes, intents, or methods.

2) Thou shalt not question that belief in Darwins theory on the Origin of Species made the holocaust possible.

In other words, you dont have to believe in God but youd better believe in the Discovery Institute and not wander off-message.

Well, my guess is that someone at UD took one look at your Image Icon, and realized that anyone showing Jesus stealing one of Cain or Abel's pet dinos from Teh Garden Of Eden, shouldn't be trusted with the ID Secret, and ratted you out to DaveScot.

You've got a great icon dude!

Cue: Im not following this thread too closely, but to say that methodological naturalism is an essential ingredient of the scientific method betrays a gross ignorance of the history and philosophy of science. Indeed, its not even fair to say that there is one scientific method. Percy Bridgman put it this way: the scientific method, insofar as it is a method, is doing ones damndest with ones mind, no holds barred. In any case, youre out of here.

Bornagain, to say that it is artificial may be correct, but to say that it is unnecessary is not. The scientific method is a specific process. It is not the only process. It is, however, the process represented in the schools when natural science is taught.

Studies that dont fit the scientific method, such as they arent conducive to experiments or arent readily communicable, can still be studied, but not as a natural science.

In 61 above, when you find imposed materialism to be the biggest hinderance to science, I suggest that simply doesnt make sense. Science (natural science), by definition, has that imposition. If you mean that imposed materialism is the biggest hindereance to knowledge - appreciating that science is but one tool to gain knowledge - then the argument would make more sense.

What is especially entertaining about WAD's post is that Percy Bridgman was the originator of operationism (although he never liked that term), and sought to replace abstract theoretical concepts within physics with the analysis of the operations by which those concepts are measured. These notions were influential among logical positivists. The logical positivist Feigl spent a sabbatical with Bridgman in 1930, after which he joined the faculty at Harvard and brought Bridgmans views to the attention of E.G. Boring and his students S. S. Stevens and B. F. Skinner. As transplanted to behaviorism, operationism construed subjective experiences and cognitive activity (and agency generally) as beyond the reach of a truly scientific psychology.

In short, Bridgman, whom WAD quotes in support of his warped construal of the natural world in terms of a guiding (but shy) intelligence, was actually the author of ideas that resulted in the ejection of intelligence and agency from human psychology for 50 years.

You'd think the guy would read up a little before he begins to go on about "gross ignorance of the history and philosophy of science."

Would you like me to give a P-A-R-:0)-D-Y of Lady Boy Bill's facetiousness to that rather phosphorous materialist reduction of said Girlyman's House of Cards sooty stain on ID lab bench.

wMAD: RB .....here at UD science pseudoscience is what I say it is and if I quotemine some early postmodernist social scientist, with a twist, then the twits on this board will feel vindicated that their knob polishing hasn't been in vain. Remember history is written by the victors and my case I am truly a ber  victoriass lacy angel winner. So there :P. and besides they haven't been on Colbert Nation or to Heffies place.

That, my friends, is a true example of how well the theory of evolution has been tested. It hasnt been tested at all.

Very, very bold claim.

Please cite evidence.

A nature.com search of the word evolution gives 60,000 results (I realize not all the results are scientific papers, and some papers use evolution in different ways, however, many, many thousand still use evolution in the ways criticized here, Im just not good at filtering them out).

Thats a whole lot of not testing.

Bettawrekonize's remarks belong here as well:

Quote (Bettawrekonize @ July 05 2008,16:23)
For those of you that think Uncommondescent only discriminates against evolutionists, I would like to suggest that it's not true. They also seem to have banned me for no apparent reason. When I tried to login and it said invalid password. So when I tried to reset my password it said something to the extent of, "Invalid Key." I made another account and managed to post onto there and one of the mods said that it does show I was banned and he doesn't know why, but he will ask. After a while, I was able to login with my original account but when I post, my posts never make it to the awaiting Moderator confirmation screen and they never get posted. So I am assuming that I am "suspended" indefinitely? I was never told why I was banned and I was never told why my account seems to be suspended indefinitely. I think there is something wrong with their policy in general, not just against evolutionists in particular. Whatever, it's their forum and if everyone gets banned for no apparent reason (and no opportunity to redeem themselves), eventually no one will pay attention to them.

Thanks for your help everyone. Like I said, I tried to E - Mail everyone there for an answer, but my E - Mails kept bouncing back.

Betta - if you haven't yet, read this "blogczar" thread from the beginning. It will put your experience into stark perspective.

We have gross models of gravity that permit us to predict trajectories of projectiles with considerable accuracy. Similarly, we have gross models of evoluton.


You really lost the plot there. NDE predicts nothing. Look at poor Dr. Lenski and his 20 years and 40,000 generations of E.coli. He couldnt predict jack diddly squat about what or when (if anything) was going to happen to them in the way of evolving. All he could do was watch, wait, then when and if something did happen he could explain it after the fact.

You had better a get a clue pretty quick or youre history here.

On second thought, get lost. That was just too stupid to tolerate.

You beat me me to it - well done.

Austin English compared gravity to evolution. I told him it was ludicrous as gravity allows us to make exquisite predictions of the future and evolution cant predict anything.

You then started to make analogies about evolution and the rolling of dice. Yeah, buddy, but its almost infinitely sided dice. No two rolls ever have to come up the same in a finite universe. You cant make predictions based on statistics from dice like that. Thats why neo-darwinian evolutionary theory can make no unpredictions.

For participating in the stupidity of comparing of evolution to gravity you are out of here. Say hi to Austin English wherever he is.
