I refer you to my message 889 in which I have decided to no longer respond to anonymous posters. A person who cannot put his identity to his comments no longer exists as far as I am concerned and, in my opinion, should not be allowed to use the internet for communication with those who do. I feel that is a fair criterion, one that should have been instituted years ago.

I recommend the above for those who want to see the animals at After The Bar Closes in action. It is nothing but a "groupthink" gossip party. The treatment of Martin is a disgrace.

I wish someone, somewhere would introduce a forum in which anonymity is not allowed. It is little more than license for abuse and denigration. I measure the character of a forum by a simple formula. The Calibre (C) is directly proportional to the ratio of known (K) to unknown(U) contributors -

C = k(K/U)

By that criterion "brainstorms" stands very high and would be the ideal place to initiate such a program.

What say others?

I get the distinct impression that I do not exist even here at "brainstorms." That of course was the fate of all of my sources as well so I suppose I should be flattered to join such distinguished company. Pardon my cynicism but I see no other explanation. There is more than one way to dispose of a heretic now that burning at the stake is no longer in vogue.

One thing seems universally true. The Darwinians and the Fundamentalists alike consider evolution still to be in progress. They differ primarily in how the process is controlled. It IS NOT controlled. It WAS controlled. There is not a shred of evidence for a present evolution beyond the establishment of intraspecific varieties none of which are incipient new species in any event. To that extent both camps are dead wrong.

"Everything is determined...by forces over which we have no control."
Albert Einstein

That which IS determined most certainly WAS determined. At present all we observe is the dissolution of a once magnificent edifice. We are now in a planned, terminal, irreversible phase for which Schindewolf coined the appropriate term "typolysis." It is not a pretty picture.

It is now more than 4 years since this thread was introduced. Then it resulted in spirited discussions even from such convinced Darwinians as Pim van Meurs who I notice no longer participates here. I wonder why.

Today it produces only a revealing silence. I am reminded of a similar history which followed the publication of Mivart's "Genesis of Species," Berg's "Nomogenesis," Goldschmidt's "The Material Basis of Evolution," Grasse's "Evolution of Living Animals," and Schindewolf's "Basic Questions in Paleontology." It seems we several critics of the Darwinian fairy tale have all suffered the same fate. Quite simply, we have not been allowed to continue to exist by establishments dominated by Darwinian mysticism and Christian fundamentalism, neither of which factions ever offered anything which had to do with creative, progressive organic change, a phenomenon no longer occurring.

Of course darwinism is not science. Darwinists only see in Nature what they want to see - Natural selection, Mullerian mimicry ant other of their inventions. Maybe they are not even aware that it is only their opinions what they see, not the reality. Because how is it possible that Natural slection was not observed so many centuries? It is so simply - you don't have be educated. Bur everybody sees what he want, as Bertrand Russell observed:

quote:

BERTRAND Russell once observed that animal behaviorists studying the problem-solving abilities of chimpanzees consistently seemed to detect in their experimental subjects the "national characteristics" of the scientists themselves. A divergence in the findings of the practical-minded Americans and the theoretically inclined Germans was particularly apparent.

Animals studied by Americans rush about frantically, with an incredible display of hustle and pep, and at last achieve the desired result by chance. Animals observed by Germans sit still and think, and at last evolve the solution out of their inner consciousness.

Martin

I wish I could join you at ATBC but the cowards there are afraid of me. So are both P.Z. Myers and Richard Dawkins. That is why I have been banned. Nevertheless you are doing fine. Remain on the offensive. Sooner or later they will ban you again. Insecure cowards are like that wherever you find them, especially Darwinian atheist cowards.

I love it so!

I recommend this and subsequent pages to really appreciate the complete degeneracy of the clientele that comprise After The Bar Closes, not a rational mind in the lot.

It doesn't get any better than this!

Dave has done it again. This time it is variations in solar output!

Relax folks. We have nothing to be concerned about. Springer has spoken. What is next Dave?

Can you believe 900 messages without a peep from P.Z. Myers?

Twenty-four hours after debunking global warming as caused by human generated CO2, Springer is now blaming the CO2 produced by the Chinese. Chinese are Homo sapiens aren't they Dave? Or do you still deny that man made CO2 levels are involved in global warming? What is your position Dave or do you even have one? Words have meaning. What do your's mean? Don't feel compelled to respond. You don't have to you know.
I am getting very used to being ignored as were all my sources.

They won't even spell my name right at ATBC. Martin has again exposed them as the "groupthinking," nasty, gossip mongers that they really are. Elsberry should be very proud of his special inner sanctum, "our forum," the creme de la creme from his Darwinian cow.

Springer, Myers and Dawkins at least have the good sense to pretend I don't exist which historically has always been the most effective way homozygous, hidebound,"prescribed" ideologues have dealt with their adversaries.

It doesn't get any better than this.

It is hard to believe isn't it?

I love it so!

Springer is back in his debunking phase again.

I am delighted to recommend this forum from one of my earliest supporters, Phil Engle. I hope others will offer their views there as well, preferably using their real name.

Springer's most recent warming thread has produced only two comments, both favoring his view that it is a "swindle." They don't want to be banned!

It is hard to believe isn't it?
