"For the kids" is not honest enough to allow comments that make her or her position look foolish go through, so this thread is for cross-posting.

That's a stretch, buddy. The concept of ID is no more religiously motivated than Darwinism.


she was pointed to the wedge document:

and this passage:

Quote
Governing Goals

To defeat scientific materialism and its destructive moral, cultural and political legacies.
To replace materialistic explanations with the theistic understanding that nature and human beings are created by God.


She did not allow that post to go through.

Well according to her that would count as 'stalking' ...right?

Obviously, I was rhetorically poking fun since it’s the only sane response to insanity besides completely ignoring them.

FTK unfortunately suffers a credibility crisis, how to lie without lying, she's got the sincerity side of things down pat though.

Now all she has to do is cover up the truth.

ForkTheKids is pathetic.  She had the gall to categorize me as "one of them".  What an insult!  BTW, she only let me post once in response to DaveTard's accusation that I stalk him.  She omitted to permit my other posts which provided evidence to the contrary.  She can go fellate the pope, for all I care now.

Crosspost here, so her duplicity is evident.

I thought about starting an Official Forthekids Thread a while back, but she doesn't say enough and hardly allows anyone else to talk. But this thread for cross-posting might be valuable.

She doesn't have much personality. She just seems like a female Joe G.

Nor would I have thought she would have much influence on anyone with half a brain. But, then, I am so ignorant of real US culture, I am probably wrong ???

I suppose it's true everywhere, but in all my travels around this country, I meet a surprising number of people with less than half a brain.  To them, she probably looks brilliant.

I should also mention that the .4-brainers are in the minority (not always a clear minority, but a minority all the same).

She is one of those 'just folks' types, who can 'see through the BS' and get to the truth.

At least that is how she likes to portray herself.

I think she is a moron, myself.  I'
ve tried to post at her blog about 6 times - none made it through.  Of course...

Here:

https://www2.blogger.com/comment....1993673

is taken to task for her coverage of the wedge document:

 
Quote
1) Re your extensive treatment of the "Wedge Document", that must have been on some other sites. A search for "wedge" on this blog reveals three citations.


so she was clearly dishonest when she says:

 
Quote
Richard, the reason why I didn't put your comment about the Wedge document through is because I have addressed that issue so many times in the past that it simply gets tiring. If you're interested in my response about it, go back through my archives and read to your hearts content.


She then says :

 
Quote
Dembski's flatulence comments were the only questionable comments he's ever made beside the silliness of the "vice strategy".


Let's not get into a ~who's the nastiness~ contest because that's one you'll not win.

To be fair, she talks a little about it here:

http://reasonablekansans.blogspot.com/2006....0159138

although she fails to understand causality, it's explicit theism pretending to be science, not science that has theistic implications. Her tail wags her dog.
to which I've replied:

 
Quote
The ID Side has a history of dishonesty & nastiness:

The Wedge document and its true agenda

Dembski's "Street theatre"

The Pianka affair

The Single bottle of malt scotch bet:

The EF: never used, unusable.

Davescot; any comment really!

etc.

In case this doesn't make it:

DaveScot said:

"Red State Rabble is a real joke. Witless, classless wimp Pat Hayes doesn't even enable comments. If not cowardice I'm not sure why since he doesn't have any semblance of refinement to guard. "

There appear to be comments on his blog, Dave. I assume you'll be apologizing?

I assume now that DaveTard has had this change of heart, he'll unblock everyone he's banned at UD and start spending more time commenting at blogs where people can respond to him, no?

Indeed. No one could ever accuse DaveTard of being a hypocrite....

Sometimes RSR's comments do momentarily disappear - I suspect this is due to Pat updating something and to the fact that blogger sucks - blogger sometimes won't let me comment on my own #### blog! :angry:

I think I can access the full PDF of the heart article if people can't get beyond the abstract.

Hard telling what parts of the Bible they do accept. They're not exactly sure. I suppose only the parts that don't conflict with the current beliefs of the "scientific community".


I asked her which bits she believed. She didn't post my comment, nor answer the questions. If she doubts science so much, I'd love to hear her better explanation.

Richard - Good catch - thanks for posting the link.  What is REALLY interesting though,  is who the "Dave" poster is (not DaveScot - him I do NOT want to know).  The Smart Dave asks For The Kids some very good questions, which she dodges, but he calls her and DaveScot out on not answering the questions,  so good job SmartDave.

Well, now that FtK has joined up here, I can come out of the closet! I'm Dave (really). I had an account here as Albatrossity, but somehow that account disappeared, so when I tried to post yesterday, I was told that the username was not on the list of registered users... Richard was kind enough to forward my tale of woe to stevestory, and he forwarded it to Wesley, but as of today I still could not log in with that username.

So I did what appears to be a common thing (judging from the list of members, at least); I created a second account as Albatrossity2.

I am a biology professor at KSU in Manhattan KS, my research interests are broad (ranging from lipid metabolism to stable isotope studies in grassland birds), and I also am charged with coordinating our large intro bio course every fall semester. Given my location in KS, the ID controversy has occupied a fair amount of my time and interest in the last few years, and I have participated in several local events sponsored by Sigma Xi and our local Center for the Understanding of Origins (a multidisciplinary group of scientists and scholars in Biology, Physics, Entomology, Geology, Philosophy and English) dedicated to increasing understanding of science and how it works.

Thanks for the kind words, and I thank you also for the insights and understandings that all of your posts have given to me!
