Nemesis Juggernaut on ID
It has to be Nemesis Juggernaut for his well defined explanation of ID and how it is distorted by its detractors.

Re: Nemesis Juggernaut on ID
A hearty 2nd to that nomination, GDR. Nem has masterfully articulated the argument that ID can be applied to science.

Modulus on Science and Nonscience
Message 52
Modulous is very clear and systematic in answering. It will be interesting to see if the repsonse is as careful.

I have no problem with God; It's some of his fan club that I find irritating.

Thanks Nosy. Perhaps it was wise I cut so much from the post

Arachnophilia

Thread: Bible Study
Message: from 27 on
Once again arachnophilia shows his in-depth understanding and concise interpretation of the Bible is a key component of this site.
I always enjoy his posts but this series particularly stands out as a great example of his informed and detailed explanations concerning some confusing aspects of Christianity and Judism IMO.

I just saw the nominations
Thank you to GDR and Buzsaw for their nominations. I don't normally come in here, though I should probably participate. Thanks again.

Nothing profound, just blindingly clear, jar dismantles the OP. Jar's on a roll since he came back, imo.

Mark24 at "Richard Dawkins on Irish TV on The God Delusion"
Author: Mark24
Forum: In The News (Creation/Evolution only)
Thread: Richard Dawkins on Irish TV on The God Delusion
Message: Message 5
Pretty much just a link to Homepage | Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science, which contains a couple of vidio clips. But they are very interesting video clips. Actually, the video is disposable - Just listen to the audio.
I didn't, at least yet, listen to the first clip. I was currently listening to the second "questions and answers" clip when things quit working at 48 minutes. Rebuffering now.

Re: Mark24 at "Richard Dawkins on Irish TV on The God Delusion"
I realize that my non-admin alter-ego is on thin ice as far as the nomination being a proper thing. After all, there is very little input from Mark himself.
Any discussion of this should go to the current version of the "General Discussion..." topic, link below.

you can download the clips from Dawkins website, and this should prevent your problems.

Re: jar
Whoa! Missed that one, great post!!! For me it's a unique observation about the nature of design, one I have somehow not seen before. I wonder if it's original, in which case Jar deserves even more credit.
