... evolutionist ...
You're holding back.
Most creationists, especially the professionals (eg, Drs D.Gish and H. Morris of the ICR (
the very creators of creation science),
Mr Kent Hovind), apply the adjective, "atheist", to "evolutionists". What say you? Are "evolutionists" also atheists by creationist definition?
If all you need to do to be an "evolutionist" is to accept evolution, then does that make the many theists,
including Christians, "atheists"? After all, Dr. Henry Morris in "defining" their "atheistic Evolution Model" stated outright that it includes "most of the world's religions, ancient and modern".
Actually, in the "Two Model Approach" (TMA) which forms the fundamental basis of "scientific creationism" (AKA creationism) the "Creation Model" is nothing other than young-earth creationism (the "Creation Model" is never revealed in public except when creationists go even more stupid as in
Arkansas Act 590 of 1981, entitled the "Balanced Treatment for Creation Science and Evolution Science Act," where the creationists included their definition of the "Creation Model" which exposed that law as having purely religious purposes -- creationists quickly removed that definition in
its sister law in Louisiana). The TMA's "Evolution Model" is then everything else, "including most of the world's religions, ancient and modern",
including most Christian teachings (remember that fundie YECs are a definite minority among Christians). So then most Christians are "atheists"?
Yeah, you're trying to hand-wave your way out. We need a more complete definition and discussion about "evolutionists".
Same with "evolutionism" which is obviously far more extensive than you are trying to hide. Note also that it suffers the same "atheistic" problems as "evolutionist", besides being a gross misrepresentation which has deceived you about evolution and other sciences.
I need to leave for class now.
PS
You seem to believe that evolution somehow conflicts with Creation. Again,
WHY? And
HOW?
You seem to believe that you must choose between evolution and God. Again,
WHY? And
HOW?
You are not making any sense! That is why we have to keep asking you to explain
WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!
And if you want to claim that there are problems for, with, and because of evolution,
THEN PLEASE TELL US WHAT THEY ARE!
Explanation:
"Going stupid."
Guided ordnance is designed to home in on some characteristic of the target in order to reach its target. As that target moves, that homing algorithm keeps the ordnance tracking its target. We refer to that as being "locked onto the target".
The intended target has counter-measures to cause that ordnance to "lose lock". You see that depicted in so many movies; eg,
Top Gun: Maverick where flares are fired off to confuse infra-red missiles tracking the plane's jet exhaust, "noise makers" in
Hunt for Red October et alia to shake off sonar-tracking torpedoes. The idea is to confuse the ordnance enough to throw it off target.
When guided ordnance gets thrown off target, we say that it
"goes stupid." Hence the reference.
BTW, sometimes, apparently especially in the case of torpedoes, when a homing torpedo "goes stupid", it tries to reacquire a target. In the example of the film,
The Hunt for Red October, the Konovalov's homing torpedo, having "gone stupid" over the Red October, ended up homing on to the Konovalov, its own weapons platform.
It can be very embarrassing to be torpedoed by your own ordnance. One apocryphal tale I heard was of a homing torpedo test in which the torpedo ended up homing in on the sub that launched it, such that that sub had to sail into harbor with its own torpedo embedded in its sail.
No idea whether that had ever happened, but that is what we see creationists constantly do to themselves.
