Re "There is no “unbecoming.”"

I dunno. To me, the argument that was excepted from sounds rather unbecoming.

in case anyone's not following it, Zachriel is mopping the floor w/r/t "if a zygote == a baby, would you rescue a vat of zygotes instead of a living baby if you had to choose one?" ethical thought experiment, and the IDiots are flailing and gnashing their toofies. it's fun.

Yes. One of the funnier sideshows there is Joe G/Virgil Cain who 'solves' the dilemma:

I would have the staff save the frozen embryos and incubator while I saved the newborn baby. 😎

Wondering, no doubt, why no-one is congratulating on his insightfulness, he repeats his solution - twice - until StephenB, of all people, educates him:

   StephenB- You save one and have someone else save the other. The probability that you are the only person left is too small to even consider.


Obviously, that would be the best solution. Gather up our resources and save them all. We both agree on that. Under those circumstances, there is no dilemma. The question, though, is about what we would do if the best solution is not possible.

Poor Joe, he gets no respect.

Obviously if you measure time in zygotes the probability is around zero then the dilemma becomes why is a second rate factory worker/with a ticket in  vending machine not less respected?

Umm if women are too dim to decide BEFORE having sex perhaps they shouldn't be given the right to choose after they become pregnant.

Then we get Joe's understanding of spontaneous abortions that end 40% of all pregnancies.  Miscarriages are evidence of Intelligent Design because they show genetic entropy.

You think maybe O'Leary's got some issues?  This is on the first page at UD:              
Quote
Uncommon Descent at 15000 posts: A tribute to Bill Dembski
July 20, 2015 Darwinism, Information, Intelligent Design

I (O’Leary for News ) must have first met Bill Dembski (who started this blog in 2005) at some  Christian meet in the Toronto area, Canada, roughly 2002. You know, the usual Templeton-funded stuff, aimed at sedating and anaesthetizing Christians in science while their hands are conveniently chopped off. They are more useful that way. […]
Hands chopped off?  Has she got ISIS envy?

In the OP she continues      
Quote
We should quiet our concerns by  developing two lives, one in which we assent that the unbelievable is true (and get good jobs)P. Otherwise,  we could assert what we know, as  believable and evidence-based, and then be marginalized or destroyed.
Oh how the righteous suffer for the Lord!  Marginalized!  Un-hired by the big time magazines!  Forced to put up with retarded snots like..err.. The problem is not on her end!  When you've given your heart to Jesus, you get powers of discernment and see things like that.

But one man has it even worse:            
Quote
No wonder Dembski became a hated man. Hated on both sides because, apart from any other way in which he might be a threat,  he offers lazy “Christians in science” a chance to fight – which they absolutely did not want.   They want to make a living by surrendering a bit at a time, via grants.
Saint Dembski, Martyr.  He never surrendered, not a bit except maybe that one time about the flood and it didn't save his job any way, so it's as if he never surrendered.  Saint Dembski.

Mung inadvertently has the last word.  "I would go up faster if we allowed more trolls."

Yes you would.

I (Woodbine for Shit-posting) am eternally amused about the whole Dembski-Flood-Academic Freedom thing - not least because for some people it apparently never happened.

Isn't that right, Denyse, Barry, Casey, Klinghoffer...etc?

Really. Guillermo Gonzalez had seven years to design an astronomical research project, find funding for it and at least begin the actual research.  As far as I can tell, he did none of that.  He never came up with any kind of research program, so of course he had nothing to find funding for and never did any research.  At all.  Nada.  Not one bit.  

But when he was denied tenure because of his total failure to produce, the IDiots went wild.  They claimed that his academic freedom was abridged because he happened to write "The Privileged Planet" during his seven year paid vacation.  He made every ID martyr list.  He was living evidence of the anti-Christian prejudice that supposedly permeates the halls of ivy.

Then Dembski writes a book that takes the common sense view that Noah's Flood never happened and he's dragged before the Dean, forced to recant his views and made to pledge fealty to a religious dogma he obviously doesn't believe in.  And he gets canned anyway!

And the UD crew?  Instead of coming to the aid of their protector, they ignore his martyrdom and busy themselves flinging volleys of poo at the evil secularism, telling themselves how clever they are and banning those who disagree.  They forsook him three times before the cock even woke up.  Truly, "A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."

I think the worst part for Dembski is that Southwest Baptist had such a really beautiful parking lot.  A man could be proud, parking in that lot!  He'd really feel that he'd arrived, that he was one of the big boys now, a scholar of substance.  It must have hurt to the bone when it was taken away.

Worse than the cafeteria.

Really. Guillermo Gonzalez had seven years to design an astronomical research project, find funding for it and at least begin the actual research.  As far as I can tell, he did none of that.  He never came up with any kind of research program, so of course he had nothing to find funding for and never did any research.  At all.  Nada.  Not one bit.  

But when he was denied tenure because of his total failure to produce, the IDiots went wild.  They claimed that his academic freedom was abridged because he happened to write "The Privileged Planet" during his seven year paid vacation.  He made every ID martyr list.  He was living evidence of the anti-Christian prejudice that supposedly permeates the halls of ivy.

Then Dembski writes a book that takes the common sense view that Noah's Flood never happened and he's dragged before the Dean, forced to recant his views and made to pledge fealty to a religious dogma he obviously doesn't believe in.  And he gets canned anyway!

And the UD crew?  Instead of coming to the aid of their protector, they ignore his martyrdom and busy themselves flinging volleys of poo at the evil secularism, telling themselves how clever they are and banning those who disagree.  They forsook him three times before the cock even woke up.  Truly, "A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."

I think the worst part for Dembski is that Southwest Baptist had such a really beautiful parking lot.  A man could be proud, parking in that lot!  He'd really feel that he'd arrived, that he was one of the big boys now, a scholar of substance.  It must have hurt to the bone when it was taken away.

Worse than the cafeteria.

POTW nominee!

+1

+1 bottle of single malt and a Waterloo. Don't forget teh Dembster still owes a book to The John Templeton Foundation maybe that's why his buddies at bible school thought waterboarding him was a good idea.

K.e.. "Don't forget teh Dembster still owes a book to The John Templeton Foundation maybe that's why his buddies at bible school thought waterboarding him was a good idea. "

In the introduction to "Being as Communion", in the credits, he thanks the Templeton Foundation for their support and says this book is the one he owes them.  No reply from the Templeton boys so far.  Possibly they're still speechless.

I'd be happy to be paid to owe them a book for a decade. A sweet gig, if you can get it.

Getting permanently reminded of the 10,000 bucks must have been a pain in the ass for him because his CV/resumé at designinference.com since 2012 says:

I suppose the Templeton Foundation has a "No Free Lunch" policy.
