"The Origin of Specious Nonsense"

Pushtrak · 2010-09-13 15:06:36

http://www.theoriginofspeciousnonsense.com/ Someone on my facebook posted this. I went to the site but its a hideous mess and hard to see what is going on there. Though it is playing Ennio Morricone so I kept the tab open.

One of the most educational topics around but at the same time, it can be completely mad and idiotic.....

Excellent piece of music and excellent movie.

I'm only sorry I got to this thread so late. You'll have to forgive my often short responses. I'd love to use what I'm learning in college to tear down the points made by creationists/ID'ers, but said college takes up too much time. I'm learning quite a bit here also, particularly from oldrnwisr, Sarky, doctoremma and a load of others.

Well... that was a big anticlimax.
What happened to the lock?
Everyone was wrapping up and winding down.

It's like those doomsday cults when it turns out that Rapture isnt happening this week and we all drove out to the desert for nothing.

While there may be differing hypothesis with regard to what causes variations in genetics it still comes down to natuallly inheritable characteristics, natural selection and time.
Mickrock's guided/theistic evolution position is not supported at all.
The idea that mutations are deliberate changes towards some outsider's goal is unsupported... for all intents and purposes, and in every way we can measure, as far as I am aware*, the changes a statistically random.

*Please if you have data that show otherwise please provide it. Something meaty, not "I read on a website that 5% of biologists think that it's deliberately controlled by some sort of external meddler"...
