Plato also fucked little boys.  Someone should point out the reality of ancient Greek life to KF, just to watch his head explode.
So much for universal objective values, and the impossibility of those whose values diverge therefrom having any value to offer society or the world.

Did ancient Greeks even have links? (Whether in the sense of internet, sausage, or golf?)

Can anyone tell me what the fuck this means? I would make it a quiz and for double the points, who said it, but that would be too easy.

your sudden shift to raising talking points on design is interesting when juxtaposed to the above which in the main responds to the atmosphere of hostility to Christians in the public square as citizens and participants in the marketplace of ideas etc.

Whatever it means, questioning it warrants a loudspeaker-in-the-ceiling reprimand, ending: You are now on warning.

He really needs to up his game.  "Stupid" is the best he can do?  Not even a "poopy-head"?

Perhaps JoeVirgil can run an insult seminar for them.  They could book the Cornell School of Hotel Management again, so it would be all sciency and shit.

First link doesn’t address adaptive radiation. The second link is not an example of adaptive radiation. The third link mangles the definition of species. The fourth link doesn’t address adaptive radiation.

You might do better by trying to sustain an argument rather than deflect from it.

Carpathian has been quite handily taking Gordon Mullings to task over his nonsense about religion and government.

O'Leary inadvertently spoke some Big Truth in the OP:    
Quote
Unnecessary institutions are often homes for out-of-date, never challenged, politically correct ideas that any mediocrity can make money off. They tend to retard, rather than advance, discussion by fronting out-of-date “truths” to the public.

I defy anybody to write a better two sentence description of conservative Christianity.

The odd thing is that Denyse is a world leader in mediocrity, yet she has to get a night job to make ends meet.

I was just reading this morning about Nick Bostrom's concerns about the potential dangers of AI in a recent issue of MIT Technology Review.

little did i know that UD polymath Gordon Mullins would prove Bostrom foolish, and clueless, and also by the way his ideas prove Intelligent Design.

why do i waste my time getting MIT TR from a liberry 45 miles away when i can pull up UD for free? Hard to understand...

Gordon Mullings agrees with you. Or, more correctly, why do you waste your time reading any primary literature when you can get all of the "TRUTH" from the only source that counts, Kairosfocus (don't call me Gordon Mullings).

MIT publications don't have fishing reels in them.

Does KF keep on with his reel diagram because he thinks it's an answer to people demanding that he provide a mechanism?
