He has run the bait and switch scam       from the start of the Discovery Institute's ID scam unit. He was       involved in writing the teachers notes for Of Pandas and People. Meyer       was the main cheerleader and director of the teach ID scam. He was an       author for the Discovery Institute Teach ID handbook. He had a real job       teaching at a religious college, but after he ran the first bait and       switch scam on the Ohio rubes in 2002 he quit that job. It must have       been difficult to walk down the hallways with others knowing what you       had done. Meyer dropped out for a few months and West had to step       forward and make sure that the bait and switch continued to go down. It       was all so tragically lame at the time that who would have expected that       the ID perps would still be running the bait and switch scam today?              Why would anyone take Stephen Meyer seriously? He has directed a stupid       and dishonest bait and switch scam for over 2 decades. Meyers is in the       business of conning the rubes into supporting the "Big Tent" ID scam       when his own main argument depends on 25 million years not being enough       time to create all the different kinds of animals during the Cambrian       explosion that he knows occurred over half a billion years ago. He has       to lie to the YEC IDiots that support the ID scam that they are welcome       in his creationist scam. Meyer understands that YEC still are the       majority support for the ID scam, and he is willing to lie to them about       reality in order to keep that support. Even old earth creationists like       Kalk and Pagano could no longer support the ID scam after the Top Six       rubbed their faces in the fact that the ID scam did not support Biblical       creationism.              If you have no association with the ID scam why are you still an IDiot?       You know that you are an IDiot for religious reasons, so why support a       scam that does not support Biblical creationism? The ID scam junk is       not supposed to be taken seriously by Biblical creationists. It is only       supposed to be used for denial purposes. IDiots like you only want to       be lied to. Bill, Kalk, and Pagano are examples of that. Once they       came to understand that the ID perp's designer was not the Biblical       designer they quit supporting the ID scam. Bill even claimed that he       had never supported the ID scam, and Bill had been an IDiotic supporter       of the ID scam for over a decade at that time. YEC like Nelson only       supports the bait and switch ID scam because he understands that the ID       science never existed. YEC ID perps like Nelson would have never joined       up to support the Wedge strategy if Meyer really had scientific support       for intelligent design during a 25 million year period that occurred       over half a billion years ago. Meyer understood how lost Nelson had to       be because Meyer was an oil geologist at one point in his career.              All ID has ever been used for is as bait so that the ID perps could push       off their obfuscation and denial switch scam onto the creationist rubes.        I recently put up a post about Wells that demonstrated that the switch       scam obfuscation and denial were all used in the Gish Gallop in the       creationist attempt to support YEC Biblical literalism. The Supreme       court has already ruled that such obfuscation and denial is not support       for creationism, so the ID perps have to tell the rubes that they can't       mention ID nor creationism when they teach the switch scam stupidity.              Ron Okimoto              >       >>       >> Pretty much only someone deeply involved in the ID scam would still       >> think that these types of numbers mean anything, and you would have to       >> be an ID perp so delusional that you would go along with the bait and       >> switch scam and still think that there might be something worth       >> believing about the creationist scam.
