DaveS,

Research and Wikipedia is an oxymoron. Most professors forbid its use in research. You can play with semantics. I’m not interested.

Western civilization is over. The beginning of the end has begun. It began with the separation of church and state. Feminism is God’s response. It destroys the family, and as you vividly display, it is irrevocably.

Women got the vote in 1920. Muslims should be the majority in Europe in roughly 100 years. When that happens, with Sharia law most women then will not be allowed to vote. So it looks like women voting is by far the exception.

Over the years I’ve found I can often tell the author of a post here at UD by the title. VJ and KF always stand out for their thoughtful articles.


I'll do you better than that: I can tell a VJT OP from the size of the scroll bar.

“Ray Martinez, whilst I can certainly appreciate the shock invoked in you that associating Darwinian evolution, as it currently stands, with Christianity in any way, shape, or form, none-the-less Dr Hunter is right in pointing out that Darwin’s theory is built primarily upon a theological foundation that finds its roots in the liberal Christian theology of the Victorian era.
Here our pro-Darwin “IDist” simply repeats the claims of C. Hunter while adding the fact that Hunter has a doctorate—which is known as an invalid argument-from-authority. The implication is that Hunter is correct based only on the fact of his advanced degree. To be continued….

“Ray Martinez, I am hardly pro-Darwin and it is hardly an ‘argument from authority’ to say that Darwin’s theory is reliant on bad theological premises when I in fact listed a peer reviewed paper outlining the theological core of Darwin’s own book.


You’re a bad listener/reader. I said:

Concerning msg #11 by “bornagain77″

The first thing that needs to be said is that I answered OP author C. Hunter directly in blockquotes followed by my replies (msg #9). Bornagain77 completely ignored these replies and repeated the claims of Hunter using his own words. This indicates an inability to refute.

The second thing that needs to be said is the fact that bornagain77 uses secondary sources, unlike myself. I used primary sources. The rule is that if a primary source is contradicted by a secondary source then the burden of proof falls on the secondary source to produce primary sources to support his or her claims.

Bornagain77 simply parrots a secondary source and declares victory.

I hate snow leopards. A few years ago I was giving a talk in a meeting & the guy before me was talking about using camera traps to estimate snow leopard numbers. He didn't use his own camera trap photos to illustrate his talk, instead he had some from a National Geographic photographer, with the snow leopard stood majestically in from of a Himalayan mountainscape. Bastard.

It isn’t necessary to align permanent morality with God. It’s perfectly possible to read the Old Testament as a lab notebook from a million years of scientific experiments. Because the writers survived, they are entitled to tell us how they survived. They chose to write the story with God as a major character, but the experiments and the resulting laws are exactly the same without God.

Morality is another name for survival.

i didn't think anyone actually read BatShit77's comments. They have all the coherence of the guy who used to stand in the Quad at NCSU.

No, not the old guy with the sign about WHORES, he's relatively lucid. The young skinny guy who can't make eye contact and just reads from the bible.

Progressives, Fascism, and the Will to Power

July 28, 2015

Posted by Barry Arrington under Intelligent Design

So-called progressives are feeling pretty cocky nowadays, which is not surprising after they achieved a decisive victory on one of their key policy goals when the United States Supreme Court mandated that every state must adjust its laws to pretend that people of the same sex can marry one another.  Of course, it is the case and will always be the case that a man cannot marry another man any more than he can marry his left shoe.  Marriage is not an infinitely malleable concept; it has an irreducible essence, and that essence is defined by the mutually complementary design of male and female bodies.  Now the Supreme Court tells us we must, insofar as our civil laws are concerned, pretend that relationships that do not partake of that essence in fact do.  Far from tainting the victory, however, the in-the-teeth-of-objective-reality quality of it all serves to emphasize the vast scope of the progressives’ triumph.  They have forced every state in the union to pretend to deny reality itself.  That is an impressive political victory.

I’m not as inclined or as talented as you guys to go into all the intricacies of this issue but I am concise.

About 2 weeks before the supreme court let the supreme get to its head, the Houston Chronicle posted an arrogant editorial proclaiming the opposition to same sex marriage will die out.

A week later they were fair enough to publish my letter in the Sunday edition which follows here:

“The writer of the opinion with the title “A shifting tide” assumes that opposition to “gay marriage” will be quashed and that everyone across the planet will acquiesce to this faddish movement. This is naïvete – with subtitle: “Opposition to gay marriage will eventually be a thing of the past.” Quite the hubris here: that the world will see the correctness of progressive western intellectuals and their hip young acolytes, and will correct their cultures correspondingly.
Consider: (1) matrimony is a universal, ceremonial framework, worked out over millenia, by planet-wide consensus, as a framework for sex, childbirth, and child rearing. And sanctioned by the spiritual traditions at the root of every culture, despite (minority) offshoots from the one man, one woman model. (2): State involvement in the matrimonial institution has always been accommodation to the institutional framework, NEVER (until the last twenty years) vice versa so as to accommodate social experimentation. And that is what history will show this to be. We have decided that our society is the right one to take this dangerous experimental road, deviating from the universal framework.
Now to head off anticipated criticism of consideration (1) e.g.: “Why should the State license marriages involving sterile partners?” But really, should the State test every person for fertility before granting a license?
I hope people will see the hubris behind the “gay marriage” movement and wake up to what it is: a modern day experiment likely to fail based on thousands of years of universal practice.


It's crucial that the state regulate marriage because it's all about childrens!

So gay people can't get married because I guess they never have children!

But elderly or infertile people can because PFFFTTTT, like the state has time to bother with who can have childrens and who can't? I mean really!
