Hi Richardthughes,
So what was the purpose of you asking questions concerned the finer points of something you consider equivalent to "javelin catching"?
You didn't ask just once, but twice.
Was it just so you could mock?
Of course it was.
How you choose to respond to those with opposing view points influences the perceptions of their followers.
It is of little wonder as to why people like Dembski and Wells are able to sustain the ID Movement. There is no benefit in making honest attempts. In fact, it is detrimental to their cause. All they need is to show is that the only choices are to reject your science or reject their God.
And they don't have to work very hard, since your actions make it all too obvious this is the case.
| Quote | The truth is Darwinism is not a scientific theory, but a materialistic creation myth masquerading as science. It is first and foremost a weapon against religion – especially traditional Christianity. Evidence is brought in afterwards, as window dressing.
This is becoming increasingly obvious to the American people, who are not the ignorant backwoods religious dogmatists that Darwinists make them out to be. Darwinists insult the intelligence of American taxpayers and at the same time depend on them for support. This is an inherently unstable situation, and it cannot last.
If I were a Darwinist, I would be afraid. Very afraid. |

Around 400 AD, there was a movement lead by people like Cyril and Augustine.
The scientists of the day included people like Hypatia of Alexandria who taught...
| Quote | | “Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fancies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child-mind accepts and believes them, and only after great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after-years relieved on them. In fact, men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth – often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you cannot get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable.” |

For those not familiar with the history, Hypatia and other scientists from the Library of Alexandria were labeled pagans and/or heretics and killed.
Cyril and Augustine were sainted by the victors.
History has a nasty habit of repeating itself. I would rather not have my children and their children suffer through another Dark Age. Paying off our national debt should be punishment enough.
