Re: ID About to Fail?

Do you eat dead-jesus-meat crackers, too? That is a known mental impediment.
Oh brother!
Were that true, hundreds of millions of people would have a known and documented mental impediment. Define impediment, by the way. What specifically is belief in a higher power doing to our precious little human minds??

I am asking all of you is to kick Evolution out in science, society and in all schools, right now, and replace Evolution with Biological Interrelation, BiTs, since BiTs is the only correct theory for biology. If you will dis-agree, you must answer all questions and all challenges that the new model will throw at you. DO IT and win. Don't do it, and Evolution (will) lose.
Wait a minute! Since when does "science" kick a theory out? And since when does a theory suddenly become "the only correct theory"? You got a lot of 'splainin to do, Lucy.

Re: The Missing Link
Thanks for that thoughtful post. I poked around a bit (not that im in any way interested in what Mr.ID has to say) and found one thing.
Not too impressive.

Did I find your video? Is that you in the previous post?

Re: Lost & Found
Change...what is change in reality?
At my job, change comes out of the coin changer after one hands me X amount of dollars to pay for their groceries. Change is made up of Quarters, Dimes, Nickels and Pennies.

Re: Lost & Found
So in essence what you appear to be suggesting is that the reason that Mr.I D can attack evolutionary theory is because he essentially made his own straw man to knock down.

Theodoric, addressing sensei writes:
We are not discussing creationists, we are discussing the term "evolutionist". I am not defending an argument. You made the claims, you need to provide definitions and support or crawl back under your rock.
I just want to know if we all agree on the basic terminology. Sensei, the ball is in your court.

Grumpy as usual. How about I exercise freedom of speech?

Re: dishonesty is not a good look
Sensei, don't stoop to their level. Let them insult and belittle you. Remain silent concerning personal remarks. I am learning that I myself do that when I react to a situation emotionally rather than respond rationally. And the same goes for us. If we have no evidence to support our claims, we can't win these arguments. (We can't lose either when it comes to proving the Spirit of Creativity. The burden is on them to dismiss it.) And they would be foolish to try. Some things have no obvious meaureable evidence.
