@farmerman,
Quote:Huxley had a dislike for Hubble ever since the day EDwin called Huxley over to his telescope and said .
"Hey Aldous, look throught the telescope and tell me what you see"
Mr D.K. Dunaway, a professor at the University of New Mexico among other things, wrote-
Quote:........ what forced the Hubbles and the Huxleys apart was neither personal nor intellectual but political. Grace and particularly Edwin vehemently opposed any delay in supporting the war. Of course, even Edwin could be cynical on the subject, as in one lecture to local dowagers (sic) : " the younger men will go to war like a shot because they won't want to miss the show: the older men will go to get away from their wives." (This was not well received," Grace noted icily.)
There were no heated arguments, no ruptures. The Huxleys still enjoyed Edwin's fishing stories and the telescopes on Mount Wilson, but war had opened a fissure. The Hubbles worked on William Allen White's Aid the Allies drive; on July 3, over tea, Grace and Anita Loos talked about the approaching rally, but "Aldous is silent when war is discussed.
Quote:The Huxleys and the Hubbles continued to drift apart. The previous October, when Edwin had addressed the Aid to Britain rally, Anita and Grace had sat together; the Huxleys were noticeably absent.
Mr Hubble made many radio speeches in support of Aid to Britain and the US coming into the war.
Huxley was a pacifist and a founder member of the Peace Pledge Union.
Professor Dunaway, in a detailed biography of Huxley in Hollywood, made no mention of the matter farmerman brought up. Whether the professor thought it tactless to say such a thing about a famous American scientist or farmerman made it up I don't know. Or got it from a peer-reviewed source maybe.
Professor Dunaway paints a picture of Mr Hubble and his wife presenting a honorary English couple image and dressing in the posh manner of our upper middle-class. I would think, on the balance of evidence, that farmerman made it up or is relying on others who did.
In which case it would be real "green slime" and not just asserted to be. And all over the memory of a famous American.
He also made up that I had had fun over his crippled arm. Which is a double dose of green slime on the one page. Of course it doesn't count as green slime if the vomiter is an anti-IDer. That's how subjective anti-IDers are. Their capacity for objectivity and critical thinking is zero despite how much they talk about such things as if talking about them is the same thing as doing them.
All that actually shows is that they have no answers to the points I raise and just lash out with venemous assertions presumably on the assumption that A2Kers will think them true, as they do themselves, merely on the evidence of their having asserted them. Which is a gross insult to the intelligence of members here and it amazes me that no-one seems to have the guts to challenge them on the matter.
I am really at a loss as to how they conduct a relationship with anyone who is not a toady. They would be thrown out of every pub in England for such silly behaviour.
PS. Mr Hubble was struck by lightning shortly after delivering a lecture in England in honour of Darwin.
