IM GIVING UP ON NATURAL SELECTION

ah, patiodawg, it is so good to see you here..

y tu, tambien...

Is that "really" patiodog? WOW!

Ive awakened from a fitful nights sleep. I was being chased by this guy with a buible who kept yelling "READ THIS< READ THIS" so what else could I do?
I kicked im in the scrote

Let me tell you 'bout the goat
Who on A2K you'll note:
He's not so dense -- he'll float,
But in his eye he has a mote.
He knows what's writ by rote
'Bout Noah and his boat.
With his Bible, me he'd smote,
So I kicks him in the scrote.

hey dog, good lines.

I thought Id revive this thread since it was one that had gone horribly bad by some of the habitues of A2K. I enjoyed the little trip down a 4 year old memory lane

And the opening statement is still relevant today.

How long before the dipsomaniacal troll shows up to clog the threads with his oral diarrhea?

I'm right here, doggy baby. The pub was invaded by ladies and I was forced to flee.

dont ya just hate it when that happens.

tsk tsk they orta do somfink

Yeah, by God . . . we should shoot somebody . . .

Ever since the format change, ole Real Life has just flat given up on his mission.
Where are all the intermediate fossil bats?
where is the first butterfly? Everything we know about platypi is from a sudden appearnce in the Cretaceous sandstones of what is now the island of Australia.

what about seed plants? (extra credit if you can trace these back)

We have Dawkins. He's evolving. He runs a few ideas up the flagpole and when one of them, it doesn't matter which, gets him a reward it acts as an operant conditioner and gets him looking up all the well known arguments. Like a carrot with a donkey.

Actually, the reward comes from those who approve of the idea he chose who are themselves being rewarded by seeing their long held prejudices being confirmed by the printed word cobbled together by an "eminent" scientist.

So it's a bit like two donkeys dangling a carrot each to push themselves along the road. Ooooh!! Into the narrow lanes, I can't stumble or stay put. Mutually reinforcing operant conditioners. Only he gets the money and the attention. It's a great idea. There's no God. Not very original but it will run and run as long as there is a big enough market of misfits and other woebegones eager to have their superior intellect confirmed by such an authority.

He probably chose his big idea because all the other big ideas had a moat and drawbridge and high walls to scale and they wouldn't let him in on account of his personality defects.

He's probably haunting another forum somewhere. I bet they say the same things about him that we did

Farmer, I've admired your stamina. I've even thought we should catalog your arguments. The repetitivo is soul excoriating, and I couldn't begin to have the patience you have had.


Hah, I just answered an old old thread as if it were new.

Well, we still have gungasnake, but his attempts at argument are more cartoonish and are easily popped. Real Life used to stick to his core beliefs and try to sound somewhat scientific. His arguments were simply phenomenalogical and he was good at posing the limitations that science has to deal with and he tried to make many of these limitations as fatal flaws.

He's flagging osso. Have you not seen his latest defeatist post on the Creationism will never win thread?

Obviously, natural selection no l0nger applies to humans, because one cannot otherwise explain the existence of people such as Gunga Dim, Spurious, Big Tex-ass, etc., etc. . . .

RL was also fond of oversimplified logic traps like "if creature A becomes creature B, and they can not interbreed, then how can the first B survive with nothing to breed with".

Specious arguments like that are key because they are the main tool being used by Creationists to make their case to the "broad audience". Upon closer inspection, those arguments are flawed, but they sound intuitively persuasive, and as such, are difficult to counter. Science needs to find simple answers to those types of arguments in order to persuade people in debate style formats.
