raghu_mani-

Go troll on any message board on any subject on the internet and you'll find people getting riled up at you.

Funny that, huh?

Imagine us, not wanting moronic theocrats smearing feces all over science, and regressing us into the dark ages.

Gosh, we should be ashamed of ourselves.
How dare we emotionally react to anything?
We're supposed to be Vulcans.
TTID's minister said so.
Our failure to be Vulcans in the face of idiotic trolling means evolution is false, and everything is made out of little dancing angels!

Modification and adaptation is not the same as what you consider to be evolution.

It's the very basis of it.

What what else do you think evolution is besides that?

I know you already don't buy the Micro, Macro evolution concept,

It's a bullshit debate wedge made up by creationists.
That's all it ever was.

but it's fact. Micro-evolution is not the evolution you are defending.

When you get a shitload of microevolutions for hundreds of thousands to millions of years, you get macroevolution.

To accept microevolution is to accept evolution period.

All you have so far, is argument from authority.
And even that's been debunked as selective quote mining.

And you have yet to present any peer reviewed ID papers from any of your sources.

Ah, but that's right, ID doesn't make it through peer review, because of the giant evil atheist conspiracy.

But, there's no evidence for this evil conspiracy, except the paranoid ramblings of some bitter creationists, and a spin-meistered documentary featuring them.

And there's tons of evidence that said makers of the spin-meistered documentary are sharlatains and carnival barkers.

But, you believe it because...you want to.

So, all you have is feelings.

A mountain of evidence for evolution, versus, your feelings.

Hey, you could get points on your side of the scoreboard with one shred of positive evidence for ID.

Finding imaginary little dents in evolution is not the way you go about proving ID.

Even if you blew evolution to bits with a dynamite flaw tommorrow, ID would not be the default theory to replace it.
You have all your work cut out for you to prove ID is the default theory, and then glaciers of work to go to attach any partcular religion as the default form of ID.

You know what would save you the mountain of work of tearing down evolution?
Positive proof of ID.
One scrap.
That'd end the debate overnight.

A string of junk DNA that when run on a laptop, makes a hologram from God would be good.

Or, a dinosaur saddle, that'd shake things up.

Evolution has on its side, mountains of fossils, a readily and massive interlocking family tree of DNA, literal mountains of geological evidence, cellular biology, anatomy, viral and bateriological evidence, etc, etc...

ID has on it's side....whispered suggestions, half mumbled conjectures, snarky melodramatic incredulity, distortion, prevarication, pouted lips, prayer clasped hands, and gallons of bitter tears.

You have, however, presented no evidence to back those views, and have wiggled and distorted, and tried to reverse the burdon of proof to avoid doing so.

Comment #166852 by Diacanu on April 23, 2008 at 1:04 pm

TheTruthID-

I never once mentioned the bible or Jesus. My spiritual beliefs have nothing to do with scientific fact.

Ah, but it has everything to do with it.

You made the claim that minus an "absolute standard", that presumendly being God, then "anything goes".

I offered proof to why that assertion was bullshit.

Then, you added to that proof, by admitting absent a religion, you wouldn't be a babykiller.

So, if you had been raised on a desert island that had never heard of any religion, you'd be the exact same person that you are now morally.

So, what do we need God for?

If we don't need him to be moral, then what are all the relgions even for?

Either we have our own innate moral sense, or God magically whispers into our ear.
But if the latter were the case, again, what do we need the middle-men, and books of religion for?

And if we don't need the middle-men, and books, and churches, then all the prayer bullshit, and church heirarchies, and boring rituals, and authorities are a big scam, and you're left with deism.

And if deism is unpalatable to you, then you have all your work cut out for you picking a religion, and explaining why yours is the best one.

And note that your transcendental numinous emotional experience are not evidence, because people of all faiths can cite them.

All the religions can't be simultaneously true, so some of them, or all of them sadly have to be either deluded or lying.

So, even after having done all that mountain of work, with all of those challenges against you, you STILL have all your work cut out for you to explain why we atheists are moral absent faith.
Because, I assure you, we are.

Either we have an innate moral sense, or God whispers in our ears, and we don't know it.

OR, we're not moral somehow.

Despite that we harm no one, despite that we love our families, despite that we break no laws, and commit no crimes, despite all of this somehow, we're still immoral.

I hope you see how that would be a totally irrational position, or there really is no talking to you.

Science has proven that life is too organized and complex to have been started by chance

Supply the evidence.

Well, even if that were so, plugging the hole with "Goddidit", is no answer at all.

Without this, any theory you can come up with is irrelevant.

Then let's throw away all science, and thus all modern living, and go back to the caves.

Quantum theory explains how a transister works, but it doesn't answer where life came from yet, so throw away your computer.

Or, plug the hole with "Goddidit", so you can be a hypocrite, and keep your modern appliances, and thus your ability to maintain this conversation about your personally held superstitions.

I dunno where else to let loose with this rant, but here's another thing about the brainwashed that's irritating the fuck out of me.

There's this new tack that's being taken, and it's implicit to the message of "Expelled", too, that science is evil because it's elitist.

Um, excuse me, but what the fucking fuck is more elitist than a bunch of self elected church motherfuckers deciding all by themselves that humanity is too stupid and evil to be left to its own devices, so they use a book of ancient myth to construct an institution that controls your mind, beats into your head from childhood an ideology of blind obedience, herds you like sheep, and even openly calls you a fucking FLOCK!!!???

*Sigh* They're still hanging on with a white knuckled resolve I see.

Y'know, it's funny, I used to be a deist.
A deist disbelieves in organized religion, and revealed texts, but thinks there may be a designer to the cosmos.

Even as a deist, I knew "intelligent design", was bullshit.

As I deist, I believed that the creation was the revelation, not some crummy old books full of fairy tales, but I thought the pattern, the signature of God in nature was yet to be discovered.

And I knew that pattern/signature was NOT to be found in "intelligent design", because even with my deist mind, I knew "intelligent design", was christianity in a trojan horse.

I can't imagine if I'd swallowed that ID crap to start with.

But, I do know I used to defend my deist stuff with equal tenacity as TruthID is fighting for "intelligent design".

To lose religion, it takes a mind so open, you're willing to hear more and more and more evidence, until the evidence even kills your pet theory you love so much.

TGD wasn't the main ingredient that killed my deism, but it was the final straw.

Fortunately, deism leaves your mind scientifically open for deism itself to be killed by evolutionary evidence.

Christianity, not so much.
That's a tougher road to hoe.

We're talking breaking full blown brainwashing there.

I'm sure you see all other religions as fake cults, and the only reason you don't see yours as such, is because you're inside the bubble.

Roland_F-

Adam Smith 'invisible hand' is not "libertarian philosophy",

Didn't say it was.
Why must seemingly everyone who disagres with me first mischaracterize my arguments?

Adam Smith's 'invisible hand', isn't libertarianism, nor is it Darwinism, because Darwin and libertarians weren't around when he wrote "on the wealth of nations".

Therefore, all attempts to connect them are external to Adam Smith, and IMO, by my personal observation, usually by libertarians.

And Shermer made that connection, and lo and behold, Shermer is a libertarian.

I like Shermer, but he loses me when he gets into the libertarian crap.

I think it dances into the very social darwinist crap the religites accuse us of.

But, that's just my personal assessment.
I went through a libertarian phase, and I found it to be cold and ugly, and offered me nothing whatever to look foreward to in life.

I suppose it's just dippy for people with obsessive compulsive workaholism, and simple desires that can be filled by mindlessly accumulating shiny trinkets, but for me it rang desperately hollow.
