Well, it stopped a group of religious fanatics from trying to indoctrinate other people's children.

Nothing would surprise me as the U.S. is corrupted and turned into a shithole country, but as far as i know there are no appeals of the decision working their way through the court system at this time.

This is probably correct. What truth are you talking about, and if it's be suppressed how do you know about it?

Re: Dredge thinks not knowing everything is not knowing anything
It's the genetic similarities due to universal common ancestry between humans and other animals that have proven useful in medicine.

The "due to universal common ancestry" is irrelevant. Medicine doesn't need to know what produced the genetic similarities to make use of them.
Well, medicine DOES know about universal common ancestry and the more you know the more likely you will be able to find models for human health issues.
You can pray for miracles all you want but I will go with medical science every time. Knowledge keeps increasing, but ignorance and stupidity lead nowhere good.

That is not true. And history is filled with examples of where ignorance and stupidity do lead. The short list includes famine and death.

Mr ID is back and still as stupid as ever
It hardly seems worth the effort, his proposed topic The New Intelligent Design and Its Discoveries and Its Curiosities is the same pathetic gibberish and flawed reasoning as his prior threads. It's almost as if he doesn't remember that everything he said on earlier visits was completely refuted.
Mr ID writes:
Hi, I just wanted to share to you the new Intelligent Design. I am the father and founder of it.
We remember your delusions of grandeur.
Mr ID writes:
Either the invented definitions are not part of reality and must be changed, or we need to reinvent another realities, fantasies, perhaps, like Evolution. Thus, somebody must discovered the real and actual definitions and descriptions of those words - testable, usable, numerical, universal and scientific - to be used both in science and in reality, so that we could explain reality better. That is real naturalistic science.
Maybe Mr. ID and Dredge could get together and redefine scientific jargon...

Message 1 Now we are discussing in science. I think that you are talking science too. If you are going to ask a scientist (even here) this simple question:

"is biological cell intelligently designed or not?" (ID)
That's easy, biological cells are not designed.
MrID writes:
They could never answer that. We have dictionaries. We have invented definitions and descriptions of "intelligence". Why they could never answer that simple real question?

Sometimes, I gave them another options. I used another words for "intelligence". Here they are:

"is biological cell intentionally designed or not?" (ID)
Biological cells are not designed.
MrID writes:
Or

"is biological cell importantly designed or not?" (ID)

​Biological cells are not designed.
MrID writes:
Or

"is biological cell smartly designed or not?"
​Biological cells are not designed.

Scientists would have thought of experimenting with insulin from non-human animals with or without the theory of universal common descent.
Funny how none of them tried it before the theory of common descent.

Easy, all the mammals that are used to model human medical conditions, rather than fish or mollusks, because they are quite obviously more closely related to humans. No one tried using insulin or thyroids from other mammals to treat human diseases before they knew we are related.
