Tell me FTK, why do you think it is that all those biologists with their "wrong thinking" manage to publish so many dozens of peer reviewed journals etc, yet the number of ID peer reviewed publications has been static for a decade or two?

I think we asked her that one time, and her answer, well, rather than misremember, I'll let her respond to you. If it's anything like what she said last time, your jaw will drop.

Gil Dodgen speaks, wrapping science, politics and religion into one big happy bundle.  For the record:

I find the following interesting: the difference between the worldviews of chance worshipers and those who have concluded that the universe and life were designed for a purpose.

The big surprise is that modern science has provided virtually irrefutable evidence that the universe and life were designed, and not the product of chance and necessity. This was a major factor in my conversion from militant atheism to Christianity in 1994.

The U.S., with its Judeo-Christian values, has done more for the world in promoting freedom and justice than any other civilization in the history of the world, and at a great cost.

I follow the evidence where it leads, and the evidence is that chance-and-necessity materialism is completely bankrupt on many levels, and that Judeo-Christian values — when taken seriously and implemented in one’s life and the culture in general — produce the most good. I’m an engineer. When I figure out what works I don’t argue with the results.

I am incredibly humbled by those who have gone before me and have made so many sacrifices to give me the freedom and opportunities I enjoy. This debt cannot be repaid, but its payment by another can be appreciated, and that is the Gospel of Christianity.

I cannot see Gil's comment by following the link there - has it disappeared or have I missed something?

Wow. I don’t get to use the word “jingoistic” very often, but if there was ever a time this is it. I realize this is the season for politics, but sheesh… this is little more than a tortured post hoc justification for war wrapped in a flag.

Thanks. I kind of botched it though. I should have spelled Dodgetron. I want that "juh" sound in there. But I didn't think editing would be honest.

Anyway, it was an easy target. All GD was saying is "I am a Brodbignang...Brombdangnabitum...Hugely Provincial mofo."

I don't know if this is due to bannination but it seems as if the've messed up the Obama thread. It doesn't build up completely.

Just an aside, but wouldn't any unintended consequences arising from the interference of an intelligent designer mess up any "divine plan" in nature?

Or are DaveScot's banninations all part of God's purpose!?

Now my head is hurting...

That's how I read it anyway, if that makes you feel any better.

It appears that Gil Dodgen's post, quoted above, "is no longer with us" at UD.  Perhaps it was a little too clear?

And I see that Trimbach's comment quoted above by PTaylor is gone also.  Seems like Dave wants to post political stuff, but he doesn't want anyone to comment that he doesn't agree with.  Surprise!

I’m glad we stopped Saddam from rolling out his Weapons of Mass Destruction and made Iraq much more stable…
I pray no one gives us the same “freedom and security” that the US gave to Iraq. G-d spare us from such help.
God’sIpod will be missed. He was a good contributor to UD and brought a unqiue voice to our debates here.

PS If this gets me booted or on moderation, so be it. ID is not equivalent American Republicanism, so I don’t see why it would.

Will Dave ban another long-time commenter?

If it were almost anyone else I'd suspect sock puppetry.  But WW probably means that completely innocently.  Dave has somehow created a world where the "real" posters at UD and the puppets say exactly the same things.  Convergent evolution, perhaps?
