    Mickrock has been carded and banned again for failing to debate honestly.

    Point of order....

    Surely 'failing' implies 'trying'?

    :p

    I'm mildly irritated by mickrocks failure to give any indication of what he would consider a novel development in a species.
    Can we make a list of outstanding claims/questions and a responses that were ignored?

    I don't see why we should bother. He's obviously trolling.

    True but there's a tendency for people to think that because he kept asking talking he must have been on to something... like Kent Hovind believes he has never lost a debate...

    Kent Hovind also believes you can start a PhD with "Hello, my name is Kent Hovind...". What he thinks about debates really doesn't matter.

    I'm there if Michael Bay makes that movie. As long as they get [insert hot female lead] there via a wormhole or some such method. And also mangle the dates so that there's T-Rexes and megalodons there too. And RPGs.

    Should we club together and buy a doctorate for a certain somebody? Feck it, maybe they'd do a group rate. We could all have one!

    The doctorate needs a fun name. I suggest 'Awesotronics"

    This could turn into one of 'those' strings...:-)

    How about 'Cognitive Impenetrology'?

    Considering most of the thread is one continuous painful mind****, that may be a good thing to do with it.

    Hey! Welcome to Boards! And frustration...

    I meant to get to this earlier :p Not an entirely new user, had intended on an extended break from here (to reduce my blood pressure :pac:), but mickrock carried on being too wrong to ignore.

    Some things are too wrong to ignore.

    I think that needs to go in the Quotes thread.

    You do know you're calling EVERY scientist in the last 150+ years that has tested, and subsequently agreed with the Darwinian model wrong? Just clarifying that point. Cause it's all of their work versus your ignorance of the subject.

    The great philosopher of science Karl Popper said:

    "I have come to the conclusion that Darwinism is not a testable scientific theory, but a metaphysical research programme—a possible framework for testable scientific theories."

    Later he partly recanted this because of the pressure from the Darwinist mob.

    Yes there is, mountains of it [evidence]. Much of which has already been highlighted to you.

    Dickie Dawkins has some interesting things to say about evidence:

    "My argument will be that Darwinism is the only known theory that is in principle capable of explaining certain aspects of life. If I am right it means that, even if there were no actual evidence in favour of the Darwinian theory (there is, of course) we should still be justified in preferring it over all rival theories."

    What a nincompoop! (BTW Dickie, there is evidence for evolution but none for evolution by natural selection.)


    Here's another of his quotes:

    “The theory of evolution by cumulative natural selection is the only theory we know of that is in principle capable of explaining the existence of organized complexity. Even if the evidence did not favour it, it would still be the best theory available.”

    How deluded can he get? He has reached the conclusion that Darwinism is correct from the outset and to hell with the evidence or lack of it.

    Even if he refuses to learn, his tragic lack of understanding is a great springboard for others to share their knowledge with people who ARE interested. Some day we can take this thread, remove every one of J C's and dead one's and mickrock's posts, and the amount of fascinating knowledge left will be a beautiful thing indeed.
    you have lost your cause. Because you start banning people. JC is victim of your tyranny. Deadone is still fighting. With what mouth you are talking.. You cut people's tongues and then you think you have won.. You're a loser sarky, with all of your dogmas, with all of your creeds.. with all of your misery.... face the truth.. the moderators who are ruling in this foram are real world tyrant... they can't face truth.. they support you in propagating your religion but can't bear other people... I feel pity on all of converts here...:pac:
