Intelligent Design vs. Casino Universe

You do more of that fm than is decent. It's because you are stuck. You must, as a scientific methodologist, asserted, be in favour of eugenics but you can't admit it for fear of scaring your fans.

And also, you have no confidence that eugenics will produce a better result than the cascade of about 80 enrichment vessels, jahangas, that the theologians have designed over the last 2,000 years which has produced the luxuries we are permitted to indulge in, a 40 mile trip for a pizza for example, and which were impossible in Plato's School of Philosophy. Or in any other culture before we showed it the way.

Your need to escape with insults is thus explained. In fearing to go in to bat for eugenics you compliment the theologians because it has **** all to do with tectonic plates, alleles and gobstopperiums and is about nothing else but shagging. As Professor Germaine Greer once explained with one short and deftly chosen phrase about 40 years ago.

mea culpa , mea culpa, mea humongina culpa

You're absolutely right! All of those damned secularists are trying to make it seem like the Earth is billions of years old, when in fact it is no older than 6,000 years.

I love how you won't just answer the question because you know it will make you look like a foggy-headed buffoon lol.

Actually yes, I do care. Knowing the age of the Earth has led to a slew of different scientific discoveries and fields of research.

Just enjoy spendius, tbh.

This guy is funny

Actually eugenics would fly in the face of evolution. Evolution only decides the winners after the fact since it realizes you can't predict what will be required. Science has long argued for diversity in the gene pool as protection against a single threat that would wipe a non diverse population.

What questions are you asserting that I have failed to answer to your satisfaction James?

So you would allow and facilitate unfortunate hereditary conditions to multiply I assume.

We do not live enmeshed in the dynamics of evolution. They may come to be reimposed at some point but it is not in the calculable future. Evolution contains more wiping outs than can be counted.

spendi never argues just one side of the card if he can get away without being noticed.

We actually do that today with modern medicine when we keep people alive that 100 years ago would have died from their conditions. Now you are the one that seems to be promoting eugenics spendi.

whether or not you believe the Earth is 6,000 years old. You've yet to answer that.

I think the earth is 4.5 billion years old. But I have no beef with those who think it 6,000 years old. I can't see how it makes any difference.

I think that the former leads to us men being henpecked all the time whereas the latter leads to us getting a break some of the time.

There seems to be a correlation between the growing strength of the old earth belief and the drift back towards the matriarchy which I don't think is an accident. The bulk of disposable income is disposed of by the lady of the house which explains which side Media is on.

Which might be a good reason for having taxes.

Not that I know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. My scientific observations only point to a hypothesis. Not a conclusion. I do sedimentary rock formations as they form. As one does making chocolate cream cake with icing.

"It'll aw cum aaht in't wesh", (wash), my father often said when some intractable problem arose in the extended family. It always did too.

I don't know how you managed to answer the question I posed in that way para. It must be quite difficult having a conversation with you if that reply is anything to go by.

Eugenics is inherent in what is called higher evolution in respect of sexual selection. Darwin handled the subject with a fair degree of circumspection.

A class system, even a fairly fluid one, performs a similar function.

OY, now were gonna hear about the Galtons and CG Darwin. (every family has a nutbag uncle or cousin)

Right back at you spendi.. Why don't you go off again about how evolution is really eugenics? It certainly is something you have managed to answer for yourself in spite of all evidence to the contrary. That should be a great conversation starter in your estimation with no silly difficulties like putting words in someone else's mouth.

No you are not fm. I already said, on this page, that I had no view on the matter. Do you not pay attention? Anybody who can't abide the mediocre should pay attention.

I'm not putting words into anybody's mouth.

Even the flowers have the means to make themselves attractive. If they overstep the bounds of common decency it is because they are rooted.

I hope you are not seeing evolution as an affectation. Or an air you put on to achieve certain objectives. The science of the subject is what puts words into the mouth. Nothing to do with me.

Are there aspects of the science you are carefully avoiding in the hope nobody will notice?

You "think"?

lol that was the most unsupported hypothesis I've ever seen a human being draw.

So your posts have nothing to do with your opinion and are only about the science? Pull the other one while you are at it Spendi.

That's right. You have a Christian God and you get ice-cream brought to your door in case you might want one with multi-coloured hundreds and thousands sprinkled on it. That's a fact.

And pink unicorns fly out of your butt. That's a fact also.
