Casey tried to quotemine Niles Eldredge so as to say that Prothero's book wasn't complete, therefore Prothero's examples must not be trustworthy. Bleccchhh. Here's something else Niles Eldredge said of Prothero's text, stuff Casey didn't bother to pass along: Quote In the same way that visitors to the American Museum’s Dar- win exhibition (now traveling the world in several iterations) have tended to resonate deeply with the comparative osteology of ver- tebrates (“I GET it!,” more than one visitor has announced when confronted with a series of vertebrate arm skeletons), Prothero’s clear, compelling and well-illustrated presentation of The Fish With Legs (the Upper Devonian Tiktaalik) comes replete with a reconstruction and a cladogram showing where it fits in phylo- genetically. Other highlights include his discussion of that still- and-increasingly-marvelous succession of “mammal-like” rep- tiles from the Permo-Triassic (“Karroo”) of South Africa; early whales, not only with legs, but also with tell-tale artiodactyl “double-pulley” astragali pointing to their terrestrial origins; and insectivorous bats without echolocation—a discovery so new that that it did not even make it into Prothero’s text. And of course, Prothero goes to town with that bane of every creationist’s existence (because, of course, all they re- ally care about is where we humans came from)—the spectac- ularly rich, dense, and diverse stratigraphic record of hominids over the past 4 million years. The hominid fossil record is a tremendous boon in the unending battle against the anti-evolution forces. Simpson would, I think, have been gratified: his “quantum evolution” explained why it would be unlikely to find such clear- cut intermediates (living in transitional environments for short times in highly localized places)—and not that such intermedi- ates never existed. Finding them is the icing on the cake—not a refutation of Quantum Evolution. Do you suppose that was coincidence? I don't think so. -------------- "You can't teach an old dogma new tricks." - Dorothy Parker

Example:  the Tree of Life is fixed!  Fixed, I say!  Any change to it is admission of a Darwinian retraction. See what he's doing?  If a report comes out describing how Luskin is related to an onion, then later, with new data, a report comes out describing Luskin distantly related to an onion but closely related to a turnip, that's a "retraction."  An admission that the Darwinists Got It Wrong. It's a bird!  It's a plane!  No, it's Superman! EN&V headline:  Two Out of Three Darwinists Get It Wrong

Yeah, Luskin (MS, JD, Esq) used the same list at his Academic Freedom Day talk at OU last month.  He affected the nice little Christian boy pose right before launching into a nasty bit of character assassination on ERV.  Apparently, at the DI, being more Christ-like means pretending you are up there on a cross muttering "Science, Science, why has Thou forsaken me?"

I would never quote-mine Dembski or Luskin or Behe. Plagiarism has gave consequences for journalists (or should), but these guys just keep getting away with misrepresenting the work of others! Ben Stein's stupid film with that chopped-up quote from Darwin and that chopped-up interview of Dawkins and that "speech" before movie extras portraying "Pepperdine University students" is still going around!

Srsly. OK, maybe Larry Moran called me "tiresome" but consider the source. So, considering my studly tiresomeness, and my proclivity to make asinine comments, and considering your own collective experiences at being maligned by Moran or others less scholarly, do you think it ever occurs to Casey Luskin, Attack Gerbil for the Liars Institute of America who only employ liars and attack gerbils, that it might be something HE DOES to engender such love? Possibly?  Maybe? Gerbil food for thought, at least!
