All of this reminds me of the joke that charisma is that indefinable, ineffable quality that girls with big jugs have. Or in this case, CSI is that incalculable property possessed only by objects we already decided were Designed.

It's a waste of time if you're trying to get them to understand. It's not a waste of time if it's the most effective way of killing time during slow periods at work.

Another reason not to bother trying to convince WJM of anything based on science:

Quote
I dont believe in things because evidence or argument compels me to; I believe in them because I choose to.

Some of my beliefs I can make logical and/or evidential arguments for; others, I cannot, but my belief in any of them is not predicated upon being able to make such arguments. I believe what I choose; not what I must. I choose to believe in ID; I choose to believe in God, and II choose to believe in a universal, objective good.

Sigh. Another moderation queue. Yesterday I made my first comment (as DiEb), now I'm waiting for it to appear at Creating CSI with NS. Unfortunately, there isn't even a notice (your comment is awaiting moderation), so I don't know whether commenting worked at all...

I can't see your comment either - must have failed to upload I think.

There's nothing in the moderation queue, nor the spam filter.

Can you try again?

I'm sorry the software is glitchy.  Unfortunately I don't have the expertise to optimise it.  I'll gradually try and fix the glitches, but each new fix seems to come with another downside.

ETA: I have now switched you as unmoderated at the back end, so you should be able to post straight away.

I haven't saved my comment. What a pity: it was the one last edit to end all editing, the one comment which made all further comments superfluous. But let bygones be bygones - I'll mumble on in my usual manner :-)

Liz reports that kairosfocus has attempted to post at TSZ, but got caught in a spam-trap.

(I haven't bothered looking to see if she's set it free, since I might be tempted to read it, and I'm nearing the limit of my capacity for being told that Western Civilisation is on the steep slope to perdition, because chi-squared and Plato, or something)

Surely that post, from that poster, means UD has twitched its last anti-evolutionary spasm?

Do we get to dance on its grave?

So, I guess he figured out that the increase in the ratio of views to comments over at UD had more to do with the denominator than the numerator.   He may not be smart, but he sure is slow.

She did set it free but doesn't know where it was.

Well that is how science operates- we observe some result and try to explain it- what it is, what it does and how it came to be the way it is.

1) I DO NOT want to know their bedroom antics.

2) How in the hell do you know about their bedroom antics...

no don't answer that.  I don't want to know that either.

So, two questions come to mind:

1.  Will Mullings actually venture out from behind Barry's skirt and appear at TSZ?

2. If he does,  how long will it take for him to complain about the poisonous atmosphere and incivility, demand an apology, and scurry back to the safer confines of UD?

KF is trying to proof Elizabeth Liddle wrong - by posting his comments over at UD.

I haven't yet decided if he is a coward, a weirdo, or both.

Link points to TSZ, of course.  :p

Ultimately, science doesn't resolve anything anyway, IMO. ... I think there are very few ID proponents that would disagree with me on that one. Ultimately, what resolves things - towards any conclusion - is one's deep worldview, not data.

Thank heavens that the deep worldview of the cancer specialists that saved my friend's life was oriented in the direction of 'stuff-that-seems-to-work'. I bet they had a peek at some data, too.

He's both, of course - but I think he's probably trying to lure a fresh drawerful of socks over there to liven the place up a bit.
But we remain in an attitude of hostile (and amused) observation!
