Ah I think Nelson/Guts is attempting the debating tactic of provoking a banning, sometimes referred to as "death by Cop", I believe.

This is all very illuminating, Sir.

(Edited for spelling)

No i'm trying to provoke actual thought, which is absent here. No one knows my position? Are you friggin kidding me? This thread is pages and pages long, and accusations abound, but no one knows my position? How batshit insane is that. I could write a book on it.

I'd suggest you start a little closer to home, Nellie.

Well, the handful of pages that went up between last night and this morning were more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

LCD, I assume this is your coy way of admitting you're never going to answer the backed up questions on the other thread?

No, that would be incorrect.


The stuff is not easy.  It is and I'm reluctant to admit it harder than I thought.  I haven't been working on it this weekend because I thought I'd be in the surf and having some fun.

One thing though.  I can't help but note what I'd call a double standard here.  First, Newton came up with "Classical Physics".  Now science took that as truth for what, 300 years?  Then we had Relativity.  Now it's Quantum Physics.  So what about GUT?  I keep reading where they say it exists but nobody can find it.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but Dembski's EF seems to be a great start, the "Classical Theory" also known as the first step.  Why must ID be perfect the first time when mainstream science still hasn't gotten it right?

We'll take that as a 'no, I won't' to my original question.

Carlson using stars to simulate "emotes" that is so weird, i gotta tell ya.

That's it?  I spend two and a half hours crammed like a sardine in a 757, then scurry like mad between terminals to catch my puddle-jumper home, all in anticipation of some witty riposte from you, and that is the best you come up with?

You are so gay.

In 90 comments he merely bloviated, despite several polite requests to state a position and have a real intellectual debate. He hurled insults from the very beginning. What part of that makes you proud to be associated with his side?


Yeah welcome to troll city. This is what ID proponents have to deal with on a daily basis.

Nah, he's just intoxicated with his own stupidity.

Well it's better than putting up with "research", "experiments" and "science", eh?

That doesn't make sense, those are things you do at a lab, but then sometimes you want to come home and relax in front of the computer. Thats when you have to deal with trolls.

I'm not the one that came here and started a mindless thread to attack my website, if you have something substantive to say against anything write, say it. So far, I only see faggotry, which is pathetic.


Try again.

Yeah welcome to troll city. This is what ID proponents have to deal with on a daily basis.

And there might even be a good reason for that. Why don't you knock the dust-bunnies off the ol' Nixplanatory Filter and see if you can figure it out?

Or maybe this will be quicker - ID proponents invite abuse by

1) never answering a question the first (or second, or third or nth) time.

2) never giving any evidence for their claims

and 3) trying to hide 1 and 2 by hurling insults or concentrating on personalities rather than facts.

There might be more items in this list, but I suspect that we have gone past your grade-school attention span with three.

Great. Here's a question while you're here.

What predictions have been made, on the basis of ID principles, that allowed experimental testing, and for which the results of those experiments supported ID and cannot be accommodated by evolutionary theory?

Thanks in advance.

You coyly qualify that with "accommodated by evolutionary theory", anything except creationism can be accommodated by evolutionary theory.

Cute nonanswer. It's clear why your blog is such a powerhouse of science.

Please keep the blog going though. It's very amusing to watch you guys pretend to be scientific revolutionaries. Or even scientifically relevant.

Nothing coy about it. If ID is to replace evolutionary theory, it will have to explain things that evolutionary theory cannot explain. That's how science works.If ID can't perform in this regard, it's not ready for serious consideration.

And there are LOTS of possible experimental outcomes which could not be accommodated by evolutionary theory. Let's not get bogged down in those, however. Let's try to focus on the original question, which you not-so-coyly avoided answering.

Care to try again?

Unless you're not proposing a replacement theory, that is a fundamental flaw in your logic.
