They let me back in. It must depend on who is manning the deletion button!

I haven't had this much fun in a long time.

Martin and I are both back in business. It is a hoot! Join in. The more the merrier.

I love it so!

658 comments and going strong again. Are there any brave souls here that are willing to join Martin and myself in this incredible demonstration that there are still those who believe that life in all its manifestations was an accident? Are Martin and myself the only ones who reject that by publicly challenging the two major exponents of that bizarre philosophy, Richard Dawkins and P.Z. Meyers, both of whom have remained silent? So it would seem. I am sure Martin agrees with me that we welcome any or all to join in this most fundamental of discussions at a venue which was arrogantly introduced by the author of the thread on which he is now afraid to speak.

Opportunities like this do not occur every day and they should not be ignored. They reveal a philosophy without foundation that deserves to be thoroughly exposed and One Blog A Day presents a rare opportunity to challenge the Darwinian fantasy and its two most vocal supporters in a reasonably neutral venue. Perhaps others can produce a response from the two most prominent atheist biologists of the present time. Martin and I can't seem to achieve that most desirable result.

This anonymous (of course) creep, tOOt, has repeatedly lied about the age of Homo sapiens which I had generously estimated as no older than 100,000 years.

In response I quoted Alfred Sherwood Romer as follows:

"A type of man definitely assignable to our own species, Homo sapiens, appeared in Europe well toward the end of the last glaciation, NOT MORE THAN 50,000 years ago."
Vertebrate Paleontology, Third Edition, page 227, my emphasis.

That message and a repeated version of it never appeared. So much for One Blog A Day, just another Darwinian flame blog.

I repeat my conviction that Homo sapiens is the youngest and in all probabilty the last mammalian species ever to appear.

wOOt, whoever that is, cites Wikipedia as his authority on the age of Homo sapiens. Is Wikipedia an authority on anything? Not to my knowledge.

It is hard to believe isn't it?

It didn't tale long for Zimmer to show his real self. I did manage to get in comments #22 and 27 before being shut down. They both still stand and if they should be deleted, I will be happy to reproduce them here or anywhere else as a testimonial to the insecurity and cowardice of those that still support the Darwinian myth.

It is hard to believe isn't it?

I can't imagine Zimmer will let those two comments stand and so I predict he will, sooner or later, delete them.

As for Darwinism, the most persistent fantasy in the history of science -

"Never in the field of human conflict was so little owed to so many by so many."
after Winston Churchill.

As for Martin and myself -

"We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight in the hills, we shall fight in the swimming pools; we shall never surrender."
ditto.

ATTENTION: denizens of this and other blogs and forums!

Real scientists make predictions, something Darwinians are very hesitant to do because of their insistence on randomness. An hypothesis that has no predictive value is useless and should be immediately discarded.

Now I understand the problem about predicting the future as it was clearly stated by Yogi Berra -

"Making predictions is hard, especially when it is about the future."

Nevertheless, being a scientist, not a mystic, I make the following predictions.

No mammal species younger than ourselves will ever be found or will ever appear. Furthermore, judging from the shared, firmly stated, conclusions of Julian Huxley and Robert Broom as well as the implied opinions of Pierre Grasse and Otto Schindewolf, I feel I can safely say that the youngest mammalian genus is the genus Homo. As near as the fossil record unambiguously indicates, Homo sapiens is the terminal product of what to me has obviously been a planned evolutionary sequence, one now completely finished.

"La commedia e finita".
Pagliacci

I welcome any concrete evidence to the contrary.

"Silence is golden."
Thomas Carlyle, the same Carlyle who wrote -

"No sadder proof can be given by a man of his own littleness than disbelief in great men."

Zimmer over at the Loom has backed off from outright bannishment and now is holding my comments but not presenting them. I have privately requested that he allow them as they are completely innocuous. I have also reminded him of George Bernard Shaw's

"All great truths begin as blasphemies"

One more enemy at this stage in my career means very little to me in any event. At least Zimmer hears me which is more than I can say for most heads of forums who have made that quite impossible. He would be wise to allow my voice to be heard on The Loom.

To formalize the matter I gave Zimmer until 6:00 PM today to present my missing message. After that he can join with all the other many blogs and forums that have found it necessary to muzzle Martin and myself.

I love it so!
