|    Dembski's advice to college students    |

      From: rokimoto557@gmail.com              https://evolutionnews.org/2025/08/dembski-to-college-students-if       you-lay-back-and-bare-your-throat-theyll-cut-it-for-you/              QUOTE:       Allan CP on The Science Dilemma has some great questions for       mathematician and philosopher William Dembski including about       often-heard objections to intelligent design. The “God of the gaps” and       “creationism in a cheap tuxedo” criticisms would top that list. Dembski       addresses them.              What, as Dr. Dembski says, is “the key point” to grasp about the ID       debate? It is that ID versus Darwinian evolution isn’t a struggle of       religion against science but of “science versus science.” In other       words, you have rival scientific understandings of the evidence of       nature, locked in serious disagreement with serious cultural       consequences — but at bottom it’s a scientific disagreement.       END QUOTE:              If it was true that the ID scam is science the bait and switch would not       have been necessary for over 23 years. ID would have been taught in       public schools decades ago. All the ID scam is at this time is       god-of-the-gaps creationist denial. The Top Six god-of-the-gaps ID scam       stupidity are the same gap arguments that the Scientific creationists       used to use except instead of the Biblical god filling the gaps some       intelligent designer is filling the gaps, and the ID perps all admit       that their designer is the Biblical god.              What is really sad is that none of Dembski's junk qualified to be among       the Top Six. Dembski had quit the ID scam as an abject IDiotic failure       several years before the ID perps decided to shoot themselves in the       head by putting out the Top Six in the order in which they must have       occurred in this universe. The ID perps only took Dembski back and       started to pay him off because he knows where all the bodies are buried.        He hasn't done any ID science since returning to the ID scam. When he       retired from the ID scam he claimed that he was going to go into       education, but couldn't get an honest job, so he had to return to       running the bait and switch scam on hapless creationist rubes. The ID       perps had to run the bait and switch on the West Virginia creationist       rubes in 2024 after Dembski returned to the ID scam (2021), so nothing       changed about having any ID science. All the ID perps are doing at this       time is to continue to put out the ID scam junk as bait. That is all ID       has been since they started running the bait and switch scam in 2002.              This is how sad the ID scam has become. All they ever had to support       their creationist Wedge strategy is the obfuscation and denial switch       scam that the ID perps tell the creationist rubes has nothing to do with       their ID science.              Really, if ID were really science the ID perps would have never started       running a bait and switch scam on their own creationist support base.       Not a single creationist rube has ever gotten any ID science from the ID       perps. Lying to college students is tragically lame. Nearly all the       college creationist IDEA clubs died after the bait and switch went down.        Apparently, none of them wanted to discuss the switch scam junk just       like nearly all the creationist rubes drop the issue instead of bending       over for the switch scam when they don't get any ID science to teach.              Ron Okimoto              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
