Yeah, I miss the good old days before Darwin, when there was never any war or materialism.

Kaibosh,
I make that same point constantly

Oh, and we all know that terrorists aren't ardent religious fundamentalist, but in fact are Darwinists.

Yeah, King Spirula, that was my point exactly when I responded to this guy's post in the thread there. Virtually the only terrorists I have ever heard about are of the fanatical religious variety; I certainly have never heard of a single \"Darwinian terrorist.\"

Hmm...

Vaguely referencing \"ancient dogma\" with little definition of said philosophy. Denial of decades of work on evolutionary theory. Overly broad categorization of theories and philosophies in order to discredit particular philosophies.

Yep, we have a fundie.

that was mediocre at best.
Until he mentioned the connection between Darwinism and terrorism!

so, is the \"1984\" part of his username supposed to be ironic or was it the year he was born?

Darwinism? Genetics? Evoloution?

Soviets say nyet, real scientists declared enemy of the state under Stalin.

The materialist \"dogma\" is the basis of ALL science. The belief that all things work through the interaction of natural forces, are the result of natural causes and that supernatural forces do not exist, or at least are inneffectial in the real world. Without the assumption of materialism science and technology are incomprehensible.

When I flick the lightswitch the interaction of natural forces and the non-supernatural nature of the lightbulb will give me a very limited number of expected results. Electrical current will complete the circuit causing resistance in the filament resulting in heat and visible light eminations. Perhaps the resistance will cause too mush heat for a defective filament to handle, breaking the current. Perhaps hightened resistance in a defective part of the wire will result in heat and cause my house to catch fire. There's a very small number of naturalistic possibilities.

If one had absoloutely no \"faith\" in materialism flicking the lightswitch opens up a world of potential supernatural outcomes. Perhaps supernatural forces will cause their head to turn into a giant cocktail olive, transport them to mongolia during the reign of the Khan warlords, cause Al Jolsen to rise from the dead hungry for brains and/or ritually appease the lightswitch god to send light spirits into your enchanted bulb. Without materialism, you never can tell.

For robaby1984 every moment that he/she isn't an ancient Mongolian olivehead being pursued by undead vaudvillians is a reason to praise God.

Damn those Darwinist extremists. You see, everything Michael Crichton writes is true.

Damn - read the first paragraph and followed the link expecting to see some rubbish on Roman Soldiers preaching Evolution on Christ or something...

That essay was full of misquotes, misrepresentations and lies -- what's new for Theology.

Here's something ACTUALLY from the 'General Summary and Conclusion' in \"The Descent of Man\"...

For my own part I would as soon be descended from that heroic little monkey, who braved his dreaded enemy in order to save the life of his keeper, or from that old baboon, who descending from the mountains, carried away in triumph his young comrade from a crowd of astonished dogs- as from a savage who delights to torture his enemies, offers up bloody sacrifices, practices infanticide without remorse, treats his wives like slaves, knows no decency, and is haunted by the grossest superstitions.

Zipperback, that's hysterical! I'm going to be giggling over that for _days_...

Edited to add: Yeah, the bit about the cocktail olive and the lightbulb spirits. The rest is, indeed, not at all funny.

Stalinist tyrrany is no laughing matter, Birdseatbugs.

Oh, you mean the other thing.

Okay.

Aaaaaaand... Mr. Yahya (legal name Adnan Oktar) is currently in a Turkish prison, where he will no doubt be forced to watch gladiator movies and have uncomfortable conversations with airline pilots.

And all this is irrelevant. And false, for that matter.
