Mr_Christopher Posts: 1238 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Nov. 05 2007,09:33    I was playing my DaveTard's greatest hits this morning and I thought some of you might remember this gem:   Quote 8 January 2006 Reminder To Stay On Message DaveScot This applies to everyone writing articles as well as writing comments. Professor Dembski excepted of course. The topic and purpose of this weblog is to instruct and promote the intelligent design work of Bill Dembski in particular and the ID movement in general. We are trying to convince that world that ID is based on math, science, and logic. While the implications tend to attract religious devotees in large number ID is not about religion...I realize that it’s hard to divorce our innermost faith from our writing and will try to tolerate a generous amount of spillage but the bottom line is if you’re warned to ease up, ease up or the axe will fall. Professor Dembski advised me to be ruthless in policing this blog. Talk about jeebus and you'll get the axe!  Funny because that is ALL they talk about nowadays.  I'm glad they finally quit pretending ID has nothing to do with jeebus. And since when were creobots are attracted to "math, science, and logic"?  Seriously, is there a parallel universe or something where religious tards are attracted to science and reason?  No one ever bothered to tell me this. -------------- Uncommon Descent is a moral cesspool, a festering intellectual ghetto that intoxicates and degrades its inhabitants - Stephen Matheson

Arden Chatfield Posts: 6657 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Nov. 09 2007,21:57    Gotta bounce Dave back to the front page: Quote DaveScot 05/07/2007 11:44 am Another common factor is that United States is the focal point of both controversies. Funny how a nation of knuckle dragging bible worshippers is also the most technologically and economically advanced nation in the world. The mother of all non sequiturs is that progress in science and engineering is hampered by religious belief. The proof of the pudding is in the tasting and the proof in this case is that a nation founded on the principle of inalienble God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is the best thing going. Judeo-Christian belief, whether true or not with regard to divine inspiration, is unquestionably a successful formula for the attainment of high living standards in a free society. I don’t know who said it but Never argue with success and if ain’t broke don’t fix it are apt here. -------------- "Rich is just mad because he thought all titties had fur on them until last week when a shorn transvestite ruined his childhood dreams by jumping out of a spider man cake and man boobing him in the face lips." - Erasmus

We’re reproductively isolated by geography and there isn’t a snowball’s chance in south central Texas I’d be attracted to an Inuit woman anyhow even though we’re probably still physically compatible on a hypothetical basis sort of like brown bears and polar bears.

At the time I wrote some groggy junk on that topic, which anyone masochistic enough can read below. [Quote="DaveScot"]I’m an autodidact with a certified IQ north of 150 (MGCT and SAT tests).[/quote] [QUOTE="Moi"]The SAT is not an IQ test. The SAT is 'aptitude' test, with many things you have to be taught in it, as opposed to factors of general intelligence. The SAT can be correlated roughly with IQ, but not very well. Anyone with an IQ over 150 should know this. The second one is that MGCT isn't even a test I am aware of or can find. The closest I could come on google for "MGCT" was "Minnesota Council for the Gift and Talented", which might administer an IQ test, maybe. It is still not the acronym for a test, however. There is an MCAT test, which is another aptitude (not IQ) test. However, it is a test for students attempting to get into medical school. It's both improbable that Dave took it (and aced it) given that he's not a doctor, and even more improbable he'd mistake it for an IQ test somehow.[/QUOTE] MGCT is also a test for some bizarre disease I'd never heard of, and someone with a one-in-a-thousand IQ should be too smart to make these retarded comments, even barring his UD involvement counting against him. Well, okay. Maybe someone with a one-in-a-thousand IQ who was permanently blind drunk could act like DaveScot. I wrote a bunch of other junk about his use of "autodidact" being blindingly stupid, his bizarre obsession with New Scientist, and the low odds of his being a half-competent computer engineer, but it's a little trite in retrospect. Actually, very trite in retrospect. I blame sleeplessness. -------------- "ALL eight of the "nature" miracles of Jesus could have been accomplished via the electroweak quantum tunneling mechanism.

Actually, very trite in retrospect. I blame sleeplessness. Annyday, Welcome to the Therapeutic Wellness Environment at AtBC. Here we specialize in assisting others in their recovery from Post Tardmatic Stress Disorder. On these peaceful, spacious grounds and with the guidance of our compassionate and accepting staff you will learn to heal your tardma and release your pain. The nurses' station is to your left; this is your room. You'll note the absence of furniture save a bare mattress on the polished linoleum floor. Please remove your clothing, seal all items into this bag and place into the incinerator. Shortly, an aid will shave your head and all body hair. You'll note that all flat surfaces are HD screens displaying Uncommon Descent. 20 hours each day you will read UD, starting with posts by William Dembski and DaveScot, followed by the works of Denyse O'Leary, Gil Dodgen and the archived works of Sal Cordova. You can expect to experience nausea that culminates in continuous projectile vomiting (please use the appropriate receptacles). Ultimately, these disturbances will be replaced by a sense of despair, boredom, and eventually wandering attention. Upon looking up from your screen you will be surprised to discover that weeks have passed. You will be overcome by an irresistible desire to sleep. You will awaken many hours later at home in bed, clothed, coiffed, and feeling strangely refreshed. Your interest in Uncommon Descent will be permanently attenuated, and you will be able to reflect on your experiences there without emotional upset. Good luck! -------------- Myth: Something that never was true, and always will be. "The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you." - David Foster Wallace "Here’s a clue.

Everyone in Dover knows damn well that no children were forced to listen to the 60 second announcement regarding evolution and intelligent design. So what you have is 11 parents whose religious hostility extended to such a trivial matter they were willing to make the tiny school district pay a million dollars. I grew up in a small town and when a few people pull crap like that that hurts everyone there will be payback. I won't be at all surprised if the children of these parents are so badly ostracized and abused by other students that they're forced to find another school and the parents will be snubbed and insulted and their cars keyed and their coworkers and supervisors making their lives miserable that they'll all end up moving away. I hope that's all tracked so that the next group of parents that gets their panties in a bunch and volunteers to the be the designated shitheads know what it's going to cost them. -------------- "Rich is just mad because he thought all titties had fur on them until last week when a shorn transvestite ruined his childhood dreams by jumping out of a spider man cake and man boobing him in the face lips." - Erasmus

Arden Chatfield Posts: 6657 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Nov. 29 2007,12:51    Dave stands up for the non-peer reviewed science journal where he learned everything he knows:   Quote While SciAm is not peer reviewed, per se, a cover story is an accomplishment that few astronomers in the world manage to get and one that no one else in ISU’s astronomy department can brag about. Since SciAm is an old and well respected popular science journal that can be seen prominently on every magazine rack in the western world this represents a tremendous positive advertisement for both Gonzalez personally and for the ISU astronomy department in general.

Yet things like books, cars, highways, and computers didn’t form from the energy of the sun alone. Not until intelligent agency entered the scene did those things come to be. Anything physically possible can happen in an open system if intelligent agency is involved otherwise things like the above are just too improbable to have any reasonable chance of forming by nature alone. -------------- "Rich is just mad because he thought all titties had fur on them until last week when a shorn transvestite ruined his childhood dreams by jumping out of a spider man cake and man boobing him in the face lips." - Erasmus

Actually, Time magazine has made it clear since Day One that 'Man of the Year' did NOT imply approval, but simply that the person had a huge impact on history that year. It's never been a popularity contest. Now, if Dave wasn't a dishonest tard, he would also acknowledge that Jones ALSO shares that honor with Eisenhower, Gandhi, Lindbergh, Truman, Churchill, his beloved Ronald Reagan, etc. But Dave IS a dishonest tard, so there you go. This also makes Dembski's comment to DT about him 'keeping this in perspective' especially stoopid. -------------- "Rich is just mad because he thought all titties had fur on them until last week when a shorn transvestite ruined his childhood dreams by jumping out of a spider man cake and man boobing him in the face lips." - Erasmus

Time's person of the year award isn't an accolade for being a hero or doing something for the public good.  It's a recognition that Person X has--for better or for worse--had a large impact on the world that year.

Arden Chatfield Posts: 6657 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Dec. 21 2007,10:59    It's best that these things get cross-posted to the special DT thread: Quote Sure. The genetic code of modern whales existed in a repressed form in the cell line leading to whales. An environmental trigger in the distant past caused a chromosome reorganization to occur which in turn led to a saltation. This is in complete accord with the indisputable testimony of the fossil record which of course is a record of abrupt emergence of radically new phenotypes followed by long periods of stability in the new phenotype and in the vast majority of cases extinction of the new phenotype after an average of 10 million years with all but a small fraction of these leaving no successor species. This is promising. Usually Dave tries to vaguely hook his 'science' rants up to sth. he's read in Scientific American. I like this new 'pull nonsense out of my ass and assert it confidently' direction he's taking. Also, is it just me, or is he ripping off Javison here?

No doubt he appeals to many Western Europeans. Western Europe has lost its backbone and has become a continent full of shrinking violets.

If one is careful in reading between the lines, it could very well be that "DaveScot Springer " might turn out to be a "DiedreScot Springer". I have bolded the parts that considered together, could have big implications on Dave/Diedre's future. Consider: * His double-usage of the phrase "shrinking violet". * His use of the word "blemish".  The Old Dave wouldn't care about his skin - he just wanted Cheesy Poofs, and make that the Extra-Large Size. *  He "admires his thinking".  Is this really Dave?  Admiring anything except himself?  No, I don't think so. * He brings up the man/women ambivalence.  Posts about it.  He clearly wants us to tell him he looks pretty, and no, that dress does not make him look fat. *He posts about a "secret life".  Not that it's wrong Dave.  Us Liberal Atheistic Darwinists will be very supportive, and Kristine wants to borrow that red dresss you have in your closet. Keeping in mind RB's admonition that none of us are professional shrinks, I think Dave/ Diedre's post speaks for itself. Could this be what happened to "Denyse"?  It could explain so much... -------------- Come on Tough Guy, do the little dance of ID impotence you do so well. - Louis to Joe G 2/10 Gullibility is not a virtue - Quidam on Dembski's belief in the Bible Code Faith Healers & ID 7/08 UD is an Unnatural Douchemagnet. - richardthughes 7/11
