This is exactly why many Christians who have taken the time to learn about ID reject it as bad theology (as well as bad science) - because it reduces God to a "genetic twiddler."  Thanks to bfast for both the candor and the nicely descriptive term.

I don’t think Aspergers is an evolutionary defect nor a birth defect, the result of industrial pollution.

Personally I think the mind of an “Aspergian” may be tapped into a higher reality.


What the hell!  Having family members that are affected by both autism and aspergers I cannot believe that comment. What higher reality would that be-the one where my family member is beating his head against the floor or my cousin bullied for years at school and in public because he was different-oh yeah life must be better on that higher plain of reality-whatever the hell that means.  What a load of transcendental clown crap

Seconded.

As someone who had to no option but to watch, impotent and helpless, for years on end, while my cousin pounded the plaster out of a corner with his head because something none of could ever hope to understand was slightly out of place- only the most ignorant, unreflective, and unsympathetic observer could possibly equate any form of autism with "tapping into a higher reality."  Reality isn't "Rainman," no matter how much you'd like those sanitized talking pictures to be true.

At best, its coping with a more uncontrollable form of hell. Suggesting otherwise is worse than bad taste- it's taking advantage of other people misery.

Blowhard Kairosfocus is asked:

Quote
I’m interested in how one goes about investigating the non-material?

Kairos responds:
Quote
Every time you think logically, mathematically, propositionally or morally, you are “investigating the non-material.”

For that matter, every time you are exercising conscious verbalised choice, like in communicating the above, you are doing something that is patently vastly beyond the reach of matter + energy acting under the influence of chance + necessity only on the gamut of the cosmos.

Er, so that's all clear now.

D'tard gives his opinion on "positive evidence for design".
Quote
The positive evidence for ID:

1) intelligent agents produce complex code driven machinery

2) intelligent agents exist in the universe today

Not to be outdone, "congregate" chimes in with something a bit more scientific.
Quote
Possible positive evidence for intelligent design: tools, factories, blueprints, footprints of designer, ruins of designer’s house, landing strip for alien designer’s spacecraft, crashed spacecraft from designer being chased by design gone out of control. Newspaper dated June 30, 20,008, left behind by time traveling designer.

IDcreationists have been using analogies as evidence for years and years.

But try to tell them that analogies are nto evidence, and they accuse of 'elitism' or some such douchery.

There is no question that the Dover decision has had an intimidating effect on legislatures and school boards that want to include or allow criticism of evolution in the school curricula.



There is no question that the Dover decision has had an intimidating effect on legislatures and school boards that want to include or allow criticism of evolution in the school curricula religiously motivated vacuous pseudoscience in Biology classrooms.  Except of course, it apparently hasn't because you dickWADs keep trying.  Perseverance and tenacity aren't necessarily virtues, you know? In the wrong context, it can get you arrested, or as here, mocked as an economical form of entertainment for others.

The Darwinists are wrongly applying the name ID to all criticisms of evolution in an attempt to get maximum mileage from the Dover decision.


Well, whoever these "Darwinists" are, they should stop that.  All the other people who speak well of the Dover decision, however, recognize that ID is but the latest branch on the phylogenetic tree of creationism with a dash of endosymbiotic agnostic cranks thrown in.  All the truly well reasoned, supported, testable, and interesting criticisms of modern evolutionary theory are called "science" and people write articles about them in things called "journals".

He was probably thinking of the science-fiction movie “The Fly,” where a man was turned into a fly as a result of a botched teleportation experiment.

A 2004 episode of Penn and Teller's television program Bullshit! broadcast video taken of the ICR spokesperson, Duane Gish, stating "neither creation nor evolution are scientific theories. Evolution is no more scientific than creation", and that the Grand Canyon was created in as little as a few days due to the Biblical flood in Genesis. Eugenie Scott of the National Center for Science Education responded, "the Grand Canyon consists of granite and shale and really hard stuff - about 5,000 feet of it. You're not going to cut this very hard rock with just a bunch of water flowing through it at one time."
