Ummmm, would it be tactless to mention that this is the fourth mammoth thread concerned entirely with observing and commenting on their site?

Indeed. If only Google Sidewiki had taken off, AtBC would be unnecessary. ;-)

So UD becomes a site that comments on ATBE-UDT and we comment back. Did I mention that I'm a robotics engineer? - I just love feedback loops.

Let's not pretend its symmetrical: Any of them could post here if they wanted.

No, I don't think so. The mamoth threads here are because the comments in them will get (and have gotten) the author banned over there. They are welcome to post here, and that is the difference. If I took the tone of "Dr Jammer" over there, I would be banned in under 5 comments.

Bloguno Teh Creotards are banning people for calling them Creotards!

Blogoduo The poisonous bile is unwarranted and untrue. It used to distract and disrupt us from honest discussion. The hateful atheists simply cannot leave us alone!!1!

Bloguno Teh Creotards are banning anyone they even remotely suspect isn't a Creotard!

Blogoduo Now that the polarised atmosphere has been cleared and refreshed we can begin our honest discussions!!!1

Bloguno LOTardCats!

With the solitude and serenity of the ban hammer reigning over the land, every opportunity for free and honest ID discussion is available.
Blogoduo Look what they are saying now, in the fetid fever swamps! Disgraceful!!1! Will they ever leave us alone to have our discussions in peace?!?!1?

Act 1
Scene: A wall divides the stage in two. On each side a blogger sits at a table on which there is a keyboard and screen. The floor on one side is littered with crumpled copies of unwholesome magazines, discarded fast-food containers and beer cans. The other side has been kept ruthlessly tidy for years and the porn is only referred to, but never taken out of its folder. A cloying scent of sanctimony and long-gone cheese-poofs emanates from it.

Bloguno He's typing something again!

Blogoduo He's typing something about me typing something! Tard!

Bloguno Onlookers! Behold the bile-soaked pusillanimous spawn of God-denying frrrrrrrrr-VUNT sparticulatum gashwogga informatic ggggnarrrrr as conclusively shown in Chapter 9, 37, and 58 - 84 of my book.

Blogoduo TARD!!!

[Repeat 18 times

Act 2

[The same as Act 1, but the audience may hold mackerel in their left hands]

Love it! Thanks for the laugh. POTD.

Denyse is either an irony-blind idiot or a deadpan comic genius. Regarding the fact that geckos have evolved (and lost) their sticky toes many times, she writes:

Quote

The evasion, of course, is the idea that natural selection, acting on random mutation, somehow just produces the quality as needed, time and again, in the gecko evolutionary tree. They don’t come right out and say that because it would sound too much like magic. [emphasis and facepalm mine]

Instead it shows a innate triggering system that gives and takes such pads as need arrises.
Its just like human colour.
It happened suddenly upon need and so mechanisms are there in biology to bring this about.
Just as it would be if a creator makes so that creatures can survive.

So, according to byers, humans can become different colors suddenly? Hmm, that's interesting but it makes me wonder why black people don't suddenly become white if they move to Scandinavia and why white people don't suddenly become black if they move to Kenya. I guess the innate triggering system must be malfunctioning.

Well, it is scientifically established that Hawaiians can become Kenyan if they're elected President!

Yeah, and suddenly all black and a muslim too!

Seriously, it amazes me that many people believe that Obama is a muslim, and that he is referred to as black or "African American". Even Wikipedia says "He is the first African American to hold the office." I guess they forgot that his white mother "was born in Wichita, Kansas, and was of mostly English ancestry along with Scottish, Irish, German, and Swiss", even though it's in their very own article about him.

Shouldn't he be called an English, Scottish, Irish, German, Swiss, African, Kansan, Hawaiian, black and white American? Or maybe better yet, just an American? :)

No, Byers has just re-invented theistic evolution. The creator is the source of variation, and then the creatures survive. Humans became different colour as they spread out from the Tower of Babel after teh Flud.

BTW - 'colour'?? Byers is British?
