I overlooked Granville Sewell and BarryA, whoever that is, in my list of the "authors" at Uncommon Descent. The thread
http://www.uncommondescent.com/intelligent-design/darwinisms-biggest-and-least-discussed-problem/#comments
is typical of what is still going on at Uncommon Descent which is to criticize the Darwinian fairy tale and, by doing so, grant it a modicum of respectability. The only way to deal with Darwinism is to treat it with overt, utter contempt and to laugh hysterically at anyone who is so out of touch with reality as to give it any credibility whatsoever. One cannot reason with congenital "born that way," "prescribed" atheists. It is an exercize in futility.
One of these decades we will be forced to come to grips with what Einstein knew by instinct 75 years ago -
"Our actions should be based on the ever-present awareness that human beings in their THINKING, FEELING, AND ACTING ARE NOT FREE but are just as causally bound as the stars in their motion."
Statement to the Spinoza Society of America, September 22, 1932. my emphasis.
"A past evolution is undeniable, a present evolution undemonstrable."

John,
I have put forth here and elsewhere that humans have free will. I have been rightfully challenged to demonstrate such a quality. I am currently working on a few projects that might contribute to answering that challenge.
If Einstein’s claim be true, then I am wasting my time. Has his claim been scientifically demonstrated?

Dear Mel. It is nice to see someone else who is able or willing to post here. I have no idea what is going on.
If we had free will and were able to change our basic views, Darwinism would have disappeared long ago. I am afraid I am a "prescribed" disciple of Einstein. I regard his understanding of the human condition as every bit as significant as his physics. Here is one example which is so revealing with respect to several personalities now dominating the ephemeral and irresponsible world of cyberspace. I ran into this quotation on the October page of my Einstein calendar. I don't know its origin.
"It is abhorrent to me when a fine intelligence is paired with an unsavory character."
"A past evolution is undeniable, a present evolution undemonstrable."

I neglected to answer your request for scientific information bearing on the question of free will. I recommend William Wright's book "Born That Way."

Please visit here to discover that oldmanintheskydidn'tdoit still can't spell my name right. I am surprised Wesley Elsberry hasn't ordered his cronies to stop mentioning my name. Frankly I think he is terrified of me and my sources and always has been. So have Myers and Dawkins been as well. That is why I am never mentioned on their blogs either.
My friend Terry Trainor once said -
"Davison is the Darwinians' worst nightmare."
I certainly hope so!
I love it so!

I see DaveScot/David Springer is still kicking the dead Darwinian nag, this time referring to Karl Popper's theorem about falsification. No hypothesis needs to be falsified. Hypotheses require one thing and one thing only - verification. The only aspect of the Darwinian model that has ever been verified is the experimental production of intraspecific varieties and the natural production of subspecies, neither of which are incipient species anyway.
The Darwinian model should not even be recognized. It should only be ridiculed and lampooned. Why dignify the biggest hoax in the history of science by presenting arguments against it? That is not only unnecessary but counterproductive as it only stimulates response from those who still are compelled to support it.
"An hypothesis does not cease to be an hypothesis when a lot of people believe it."

I refer to my message #112 and to message #122 by some one posting as JD who is completely misrepresenting Einstein. Einstein was deeply religious, often referring to God, and to misrepresent him as JD has done is scandalous. Like all other anonymous posters he should be treated as a coward and then ignored.

Have you read William Wright's "Born That Way" yet? If so, what is your reaction to it?

Once more DaveScot/David Springer sets us straight. Anthropogenetic global warming is a SCAM. Get used to it as that is the last word from the world's expert on climatology, species extinction and God only knows what else. It seems that the loathing of Al Gore dictates scientific progress. Those who continue to ignore and deprecate hard data are not scientists by any standard. They are no better than Dawkins, Myers and Hitchens.
While I have never been a fan of Al Gore, he is the only current Democrat I would even dream of voting for because he happens to be on the right side on this most important issue. Just for fun (I love to make predictions as real scientists do that don't you know), I predict that after Hillary withdraws her candidacy, Al Gore will emerge from the Democratic convention next summer as their candidate for the Presidency. He is their only hope. I may even vote for him!
