You atheists/materialists/Darwinists ought to be ashamed of yourselves. You’re truly pathetic. Take bornagain77. He is not a scientist. He is a creationist, a biblical literalist (AFAICT) and a believer in near death experiences. I personally do not subscribe to BA77′s brand of Christianity or his worldview. Yet, BA77 consistently kicks your sorry asses on this forum. It’s a relentless, merciless ass-whipping, day in and day out. The shame, the humiliation, the horror, the humanity! What gives? It’s almost too painful to watch.

Yes, I remember the Copy-Paste Wars. I'd ... look, I'd rather not talk about it, OK?

At UD, two authors have mentioned that they have discovered what it takes to get rejected by Bio-Complexity.

Their demonstration that Star Trek episodes=God in 3 persons is truly peerless.

http://vixra.org/pdf....3v1.pdf

There is an online petition here:

http://www.ipetitions.com/petitio....freedom

I think the authors could use hundreds of signatures demonstrating Bio-complexity limits the academic freedom of others.

Anatomically modern rabbits couldn't have existed in the Cambrian because they would precede any plausible ancestor. Most IDers know this, but can't seem to bring themselves to say so.

phoodoo,

As I demonstrated in this post, no one has a strong understanding of evolutionary theory; nor can anyone, in principle, have a strong understanding of evolutionary theory in the sense one can have a strong understanding of the theory of general relativity. Why? Because there is no such theory.

Barry has posted another Darwinian Debating Device. Number 18 (but I thought he was already at 18).

Blahblahblag

He should probably change the title of the series to If You Can't Beat Them On Logic, Declare One of These And Claim Victory.

That misunderstands the position at Uncommon Descent.

Their position is that they already have been defeated the "materialists" on all matters of evidence (because SETI! and archeology! and forensic science!) and all matters of logic (because "materialism is self-undermining"!). They've already won, and the rest of us are too stupid/cowardly/immoral to realize it. So there's not actually anything for them to do except mock.

I posted three variations of the following:

à propos "oops": Barry, what happened to the comments of Aurelio Smith? Could those be restored, please?

(third time's the charm...)


The first and the second time, the comments went through, but disappeared after a short time. I thought that I had made an error, so I tried for the third time. This time, nothing happened at all, the comment vanished instantly - not even the moderation queue was mentioned.

It seems that after seven years, my time at Uncommon Descent comes to an end...

Also, will someone comment on the disappearance of all of Aurelio Smith’s posts? I guess I can conceive of some highly unusual accident resulting in the deletion of his user account and therefore all of his posts. But given the empirical evidence gathered over several years on this blog, it’s impossible to avoid the suspicion that this is yet another case of administrative abuse on this forum. If it was an accident, I guess I’d expect there to be some acknowledgment of that.

This one isn't disappearing as Barry thought it would. Keep Banning, Barry. It is the only way to hide from yourself.

Because, Barry, as my link shows, I have posted a great deal about why I think that Meyer’s claims are criticisms against a straw man.

I did not “dismiss” Meyer, and I have not avoided explaining why I think the claims in he makes in his book are erroneous.

If you want to read my explanation, start with my link.

I address his arguments, I do not dismiss his person.

And frankly, Barry, I see no reason why anyone should spend any length on composing responses to anything on this site, given the apparent risk that they will be deleted in their entirety without explanation.

If anything is “ad hominem” it is your use of the “delete user” button on WordPress.

If you want to know what I think about Meyer’s book, come to TSZ, where nothing will be deleted except for porn, malware and personal details, and no-one is banned for anything except posting those things.

Barry keeps sinking to new lows. Do you think in his heart of hearts he thinks he's a 'good guy'?

Does he think by suppressing commentary he is "protecting the flock"? Thank goodness he and KF have no real power in real life.

I've got relatives whose response to 2000-year old complex philosophical conundrums would be to blurt out whatever pops into their heads as true, then defend it endlessly with babbling, and they're sure the whole time that not only are they up-to-speed on the issue, but they're obviously winning the discussion.

Some of these relatives literally voted for Alan Keyes in an election once.

Barry strikes me as about that smart.

Original order of comments.

Zachriel: Please provide a scientific definition of phylum for the purpose of this discussion

kairosfocus: To attack the man rather than address the merits of the case is to be irrelevant, and it is clearly an ad hominem.

Barry Arrington: Z @ 25. Once it has become clear that you have no interest in a good faith discussion, it would be foolish to continue it.
