    I've made the point every now and then on this and the Other Thread(*), and I'm with koth above: I've learned a lot about evolutionary biology via great posts like Sarky's two recent ones as well as hundreds of others by other first-rate posters -- a sincere thanks to everybody who's contributed. JC's posts, on the other hand, haven't changed in the slightest. What I believe is his/her first one was seven years and four days ago, here, and other than the evolution of the trivially discreditable IFSC nonsense, I don't see any evidence of JC having learned a thing.

    That's a great pity.

    Religious learning never evolves -- how many centuries has it been since religion produced anything worthwhile? -- but science certainly does as real researchers make real advances.

    (*) shocked to see it was closed down last November and the follow-on thread never caught on.

    Would you stop with that childish nonsense. For someone who claims to be a Christian (which you clearly aren't), you're quick to continuously misrepresent comments to try and have a cheap pop at people.

    How about trying to have an honest discussion for once, and stop being obtuse?

    Both religion and science (and indeed Atheism) have produced many wonderful things ... and many horrific ones as well.
    They're all part of the amazing tapestry that is Human history.

    Ye guys accuse me of being 'uni-dimensional' in my belief in Creation ... but here's the thing ... I freely recognise the achievements of both Creationists and Evolutionists ... it is ye guys who are the real 'stick in the muds' seeing no good in Creationists ... and no problem with Evolution.
    You deny that it is possible to scientifically evaluate the Creation theory while accepting that it is possible to scientifically evaluate the Abiogenesis-Evolution theory. I accept that we can evaluate both origins ideas ... and this shows you guys to be the real 'uni-dimensional' ones, wedded to your worldiew, come what may ... while I was once an Evolutionist ... and now I'm a Creationist ... because that is where the evidence has lead me.

    Their scientific ideas certainly have evolved ... as new scientific evidence has been discovered by Creation Scientists.

    These laws certainly applied between the Israelites and their neighbours in Old Testament times ... but we now live in the time of God's mercy ... for anybody who asks for it.
    Jesus talked of many laws being a great burden on all of Humanity ...

    He came to replace the requirements of these laws with mercy ... by fulfilling the legal compenstion required for sin.

    Matthew 23:1-10
    King James Version (KJV)



    1Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

    2Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

    3All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

    4For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

    5But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

    6And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

    7And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

    8But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

    9And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

    10Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

    The Crocoduck was a Creationist 'creation', which came about through a complete lack of understanding of evolution.

    Stop lying.

    I don't really think you can get more bat**** crazy than the point he started from to be honest. It's more different varieties of the same level of bat**** craziness. Something might look more crazy the first time you read it, because it's new, but then you look over all of his posts and realise he was always this bad.

    If Evolutionists didn't invent it ... they have certainly used it.
    While it may have been used initially by some Creation Evangelists, the Crocoduck has never been taken seriously by Creation Scientists ... and indeed it continues to be used by Evolutionists to scoff at real Creation Science claims.

    Let me help:

    Your appendix burst because Satan, Lord of the Dark Arts, Bearer of The Staff of Evil, Source of Everything Icky and Horrible, corrupted the DNA that flowed from Adam and Eve. This corruption caused a the problems with your appendix.

    GodSatan did it.

    Except the 500+ pages in this thread where we've explained a wide variety of things, backed up by scientific evidence. I'll take my scientific books, over a book that promotes child rape (Quran) any day of the week.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    I suspect it's a defence mechanism that shoots out of the mouth when an incorrect person's claims are proven time and again to be rubbish.

    Personally, I think it's a bit of an evolutionary dead end.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Oh J C, I noticed you edited a post again about half an hour after it was made, after a dozen or so posts had moved the whole thread on. It's a pretty big edit, and didn't include the massive wall of text before.

    You wouldn't be attempting to retcon in an attempt to claim nobody addresses your claims now, would you? Holy spirit inspiring you to lie, perhaps? Have you checked recently to make sure it's not Satan whispering in your ear? With the kind of arrogance and ignorance you display on a daily basis, I'd say it would be pretty easy for him to replace what you thought was the voice of truth.

    Not that we haven't answered all your claims so far. It's really easy when all you post is horsesh*t.

    Do I have to repeat myself? We've spent 500 pages explaining a vast array of topics. You've obviously ignored it, because your Quran does not permit you to studying reality.

    Blimey, ok I was wrong, J C's posts have always been batsh*t crazy.

    It's actually kind of impressive though, in a twisted way, how consistent he's has been for 7 years. Consistently wrong and totally incapable of learning from his glaring mistakes, but consistent nonetheless.

    You should try posting some real science that supports M2M Evolution ... rather than just talking about doing so.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    1. There is no such evidence.

    2. That's because m2m evolution is a bullsh*t term you invented in a feeble attempt to look clever.

    M2M Evolution is a term you came up with. So why don't you come up with evidence for it, since you created the term?

    There once were over 100 so-called vestigial organs that were supposed to be 'left-overs' from Evolution with no function - but practically all are now know to have useful functions.
    The Appendix is now thought to have a role in protecting and producing 'good' gut bacteria ... and this role is especially important in vulnerable babies and young children

    thanks for the interesting article about moths and evolution. Not sure why you poted something that doesn't help your argument though.

    It is not a Strawman, because it was an argument put forward by two prominent Creationists against Evolution. It, along with every other Creationist argument demonstrates a complete lack of understanding as to what Evolution is, and what processes dictate it. You included.

    I agree that there is no evidence that unicellular microbes evolved into anything ... except more microbes.

    I personally have this theory we came into existance in the middle of a giant baked potato. My evidence is ALGR, a nonsensical thing I made up which nonsensical science I made up shows can be found in the hair follicles of all living organisms. The first human was called brian, and he reproduced asexually. ALGR also proves this, just because.
