The significance is that Syamsu is on a continuing quest to link acceptance of evolution with Nazism.
Check out this thread to witness Syamsu promoting his favorite topic.
I'd take the great debate myself, but when it comes to Syamsu, I'm mainly in it for the snarky comments. I'll bet Mammuthus or Hambre would be willing to knock his ass around a while, though.

Re: With trepidation...
I will try.
*loads a clip into a gun, hands the gun to Mike*
The second he uses the word "ideology", use this. On him, on yourself, it doesn't matter. Just end it, one way or another.
But hey, as long as Mike's taking him on, can we have a snarky comment side thread? Huh, huh, can we?

Re: Snarky comments
Could it be stopped.
Yay!
This is such a joke.
That's the plan! Oh, it's like Christmas came early this year!

Re: With trepidation...
I assume that since this will be a more formal setting, a very specific point will be picked and debated, with no extraneous side issues.
Oh, dear.
You might just wanna use the gun now.

Sigh. Well, pass a glass, will you? Maybe after enough punch, Mike the Wiz'll get pretty enough to get the job done.

Who'se really going to argue against the idea that science as it is, is prejudiced towards describing in terms of cause and effect?
No one, because it's not even a defensible hypothesis. What's to argue?
This is pretty much your standard procedure, Sy. You make a wild statement about science getting it all wrong. You then fail to produce even a sliver of evidence to support your radical new idea about how science should be practiced, while at the same time proclaiming that the lack of evidence is exactly what supports your statement.
It's like watching a conspiracy theorist in action. "The Warren Commission covered up the fact that aliens killed JFK! Where's my proof? Well, you don't see any mention of aliens in the Warren Report, do you?"
Mind you, I don't mean any of this as an insult. I love conspiracy theorists. I hope this time you tell us how the Illuminati snake demons have infiltrated the highest levels of the scientific community to further their own agenda.

oh so decisions are like alien invaders, they don't exist.
No. Your ideas about science are like aliens; they are totally unsupported by evidence.
They're also like aliens in that only drunk, inbred hillbillies with missing teeth would put any stock in them.
