After introducing my recently published essay, I was treated with perfect contempt and summarily removed from the above weblog. It is apparently just one more flame pit. It is all very revealing.

"A past evolution is undeniable, a present evolution undemonstrable."

Quick check #39 before P.Z. wakes up and deletes it.

I love it so!

In case he deletes it before you have a chance to read it, Here it is -

The frogamander is in no sense a transitional form. It is one more demonstration of my PEH, an animal which combines the features of two "prescribed" morphologies. Is a shark, with a true placenta, a transitional form between sharks and placental mammals?

Grow up P.Z. and put your silly Darwinian convictions about transitional forms to rest. Darwinian gradualism is a myth and always was.

My message disappeared but not before some clown responded to it! I wonder how P.Z. explains responses to messages that no longer exist. What a loser!

It is hard to believe isn't it?

It doesn't get any better than this.

I love it so!

As you can see, P.Z. Myers is taking plenty of guff from others but I am the only one whose comments he deletes. Apparently he is afraid only of me.

I love it so!

P.Z. Myers continues his assault on Christianity. I wonder just what this has to do with evolution or science generally.

I feel it is every important to establish that man is an animal. A successful cross between a human and a chimpanzee or other fellow primate could go a long way toward ameliorating the ideological barriers that continue to plague progress in evolutionary science.

Responses from others are welcome here or at my weblog.

I thought Dawkins and Myers had a commercial market at Pharyngula with atheist Tshirts, bumper stickers and coffee mugs until I ran into this link-

at Darwin Central.

The above contains P.Z. Myers' "kill file" where I and Martin are featured among many others that P.Z. has chosen to treat with contempt. One thing always troubled me. P.Z. listed an enormous number of presumed aliases that Martin had used. Since they were in blue, I clicked on them and guess what? Everyone of them produced my email form! Don't take my word for it.

Isn't that revealing?

I love it so!

http://www.uncommondescent.com/off-topic/freeman-dyson-environmetalism-the-new-secular-religion/#comments

Once more DaveScot/David Springer trots out the global warming issue for discussion, this time citing an extensive book review by Freeman Dyson.

The most remarkable feature of this whole issue resides in the stubborn refusal to recognize reality. There is no contraversy, no question, and no doubt about the future. As CO2 increases steadily year after year, both poles continue to melt, world wide precipitation increases, violent storms rage, our infrastructure is being destroyed and death tolls rise.

The tragedy is that there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it. We waited far too long.

I am surprised that Dyson doesn't recognize that this is not only a contraversy. Environmentalism is not just a new religion finally to be granted a modicum of credibility. We are faced with the sober realization that we have been the instruments of our own destruction. As near as I can tell, Dyson remains oblivious to the reality and significance of the climate changes that are and have been occurring, especially during the last few decades. His discussion doesn't consider these matters in sufficient depth or concern. It is evident in the title of his essay - "The Question of Global Warming." There is no longer any question about global warming, its causes or its dire consequences for our civilization.

It is unfortunate that a scientist with Dyson's reputation has elected to minimize the dangers of global warming. All I can say is that while he is a distinguished physicist, I feel he is lacking in both Physical Chemistry and Natural History or he would have a much better sense of the crisis we now face.

"There is one impact that results from global warming, however, that is unobtrusively manifesting itself and is being felt on all continents approximately equally: All of them are are shrinking. This is because, courtesy of heat and melting ice, the oceans are expanding.

Is this a threat to humanity? Let's see how far the waters will rise and at what speed."
Tim Flannery, The Weather Makers, page 141

"And so there has been little reason for our blindness, except perhaps an unwillingness to look such horror in the face and say,'you are my creation.'"
page 210.

Mankind contiues to fiddle while earth burns.

While Martin has now been banned from "After The Bar Closes," I am pleased that he was able to leave behind some wonderful comments both by himself and by quoting me as you can see from this page from "The Bathroom Wall."

I am both delighted and amazed that they were stupid enough to let our comments stand.

I love it so!

I share the current comments, #145-147 by Martin and myself on the failure of the Darwinian myth.

I have an interesting exchange in progress at John Wilkins' blog. It will be interesting to see how he responds to my latest message.

That didn't take long as I have already been denied further comment.

After Martin commented there, I was again able to post. I recommend this link as a demonstration of what we anti-Darwinians are up against in the present scene, a scene in which Darwinian mythology still reigns supreme.

Most recently (June 4, 5:20 AM) Wilkins has warned me not to repeat my signature comment.
