....Nicky, on your promotion to head barker. I knew you had it in you as soon as I saw this wonderful, masterful, lunatic cakewalk of evo storybooking. I never thought you guys would ever find someone who could avoid the sterno long enough to crayon a coherent rebuttal to anyone, and personally, even I had my doubts at first, what with the sloppy glue-jobs you would earnestly present to the ARN, but you've come a long way, even if your magnum opus is padded with the detritus of failed guesswork and gyrates about its sham phylogeny like a child's dreidel. Shin, Hey, Gimel, Nun, indeed. You are truly the gleam in an old tart's eye, the shining spittle that guides the evos through the dank corridors of their troubled mind. Keep the good work up, and you just might get a job shining the Master's shoes, or even provide your special brand of Pub-Med carpet bombing to wear down Eugenie's Kids.

Seriously, first Evo gets (himself) banned, now "TGoP" starts flinging f3c3s...admittedly, he is (still) a bit more coherent than Evo was. Now, who said it would be even possible to discern a creationist from a parody?  :D  :D

Evopeach actually got himself banned? What was the final straw? I thought he was just getting tired of not making any headway with us idiots and morons...

There´s this "Gary Mac" character over at Panda´s Thumb (the Kitzmiller vs Dover thread). It may, for all I know - or care - be the same person. Expect f3c3s-flinging to assume shortly.  :D

 Don't worry, I'm sure your comfort troll will assume a new identity and log in again. Then you'll never have to deal with an argument you can't handle again.

 Perhaps, but to fill the time, why not read this? Then maybe you won't get skinned so bad in the future.

Bill,

Do you imagine that you know enough about, say, M-Theory to decide whether or not the theory is an accurate description of experience? No?

Then why do you imagine you know enough about evolutionary theory to decide whether or not it is an accurate description of experience? It's not immediately obvious that biology is a less complex subject than physics is.

From the book blurb:
Quote

Once you've mastered the basic elements of a winning poker formula, psychology becomes the key ingredient in separating break-even players from players who win consistently...

You don't figure out how nature works by psyching out your "opponents". You seem to know a lot of stuff ... but you don't know what science is.

Yes, but his is so easily convinced by the Moon Landings Hoax.

It proves that you pick and choose what you wish to believe as fact.

Oh yes, thank you so much, Mr Paley, for opening my eyes to such new and wonderous things. I never would have found this without you:

 You're welcome. In fact, this may be the best phylogenetic tree ever presented.

So you must think the ten thousand or so scientists who have contributed to this tree were smoking, crack, then?

Naaah, given normal growth on the evo slush fund, they can do the powder. Off a failing coed's bottom, of course.....

Which doesn't really answer the question. So let me rephrase: you think the phylogenetic tree as described on the Tree of Life webpage bears no resemblance to reality. T or F?

What an ugly, smug, glib and self-satisfied person this "Ghost of Paley" is.

Must be either Dembski or Berlinski.

Wow, you guys can be really mean sometimes. And until you can refute their arguments, Tommy, please refer to the Big D and B as Wizard and Master, respectively. :D

I take it back. Dembski and Berlinski may not be as smart as they think they are, but they are at least  fairly bright.

Paley's Ghost must therefore be Davison.

Fair enough.

People who are of a certain, shall we say, religious bent, often ask, why is there a universe? Isn't the mere existence of the universe a powerful argument for the existence of God? Isn't God the answer to the question, "Why does the universe exist?"

I disagree. I think the answer is, "Why not"?

Hey, can somebody point me at this "evo slush fund" I keep hearing about?  Or do you have to get past the postdoc stage to be taught the secret handshake?  I could use some additional money for my research.  A zillionth of a squillionth of the cost of one day of war would go a long way!
