      From: rokimoto557@gmail.com              https://evolutionnews.org/2025/03/west-heres-why-we-cant-just-ma       e-peace-with-darwin/              https://evolutionnews.org/2025/03/doug-axe-on-darwinian-evolutio       -one-of-the-weakest-most-pathetic-scientific-theories/              The ID perps can't quit making stupid claims about Darwin and his       observation of natural selection in nature.              MarkE wants to continue to lie to himself about "Darwinism". The simple       fact is that natural selection has been known to not be the only factor       in the evolution of the current diversity of life on earth for a very       long time. It is just one factor, and a factor that anyone with enough       training can go out into nature and collect data consistent with it       continuing to act in nature today. ID perps like Dembski and Behe have       admitted that natural selection could be the designer of examples of       evolution that we have. Behe's stupid argument about "devolution"       actually claims that natural selection would be expected to be       responsible for things like the evolution of whales where a lot of the       genes that had evolved to work in creating terrestrial tetrapods for       over 200 million years had to be broken for the whales to go back to an       aquatic lifestyle. The broken genes were still in the whale genomes and       had obviously evolved from functional sequences of the close terrestrial       relatives of whales, but Behe just claimed that it was a bad type of       evolution in order to make negative claims of natural selection. Behe       actually shot himself in the head by claiming that whales evolved when       his designer wasn't looking and the evolution was due to natural       selection because natural selection would have been expected to select       for the broken genes and the results of breaking them, while his       designer would have done a better job of evolving whales.              West's denial article cites Axe's denial article. "(See, “Doug Axe on       Darwinian Evolution: ‘One of the Weakest, Most Pathetic Scientific       Theories.’”)" This is obviously just stupid and dishonest denial       because Phillip Johnson sat in court every day of testimony for the       Dover IDiotic creationist fiasco and came to the conclusion that the ID       perps had nothing equivalent to biological evolution to put forward. He       admitted that the ID science had never existed, and could not compete       with the real science. Axe's lie about what he is calling Darwinian       evolution means that the ID scam is so much weaker and pathetic than the       actual science that there isn't much doubt about why the ID perps       decided to start running the bait and switch on creationist rubes       instead of give them any of the weak and pathetic ID science.              West claims that Darwinism is corrosive, but even though he never       defines Darwinism he is just objecting to what science has to be in       order to function in the real world. Biological evolution in nature is       just an affront to his religious beliefs. Behe and Denton have been       telling the other ID perps that biological evolution is just a fact of       nature since the turn of the century, but ID perps like West and Axe       have never been able to accept reality.              Whining about Darwinism is just stupid at this point in the ID perp's       bait and switch ID creationist scam. The only supporter that the ID       perps have left on TO is MarkE because MarkE has never been able to       accept reality just like West and Axe. All the other IDiots quit the ID       scam because they realized that there wasn't any ID science that they       wanted the ID perps to produce. Any real science involving the Top Six       best evidences for ID would just be more science for Biblical       creationists to deny. None of the long time IDiots had ever been       interested in believing in any ID science. They had all been IDiots due       to the failure of scientific creationism and the fact that they could       not give up on the denial like MarkE.              Ron Okimoto              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
