Please note that DaveScot/David Springer has described "theistic evolutionists as spineless appeasers." Speaking as a "theistic evolutionist," I find Springer's comment very revealing not to mention personally insulting.

I can only conclude that Springer is one of those who believe that it is intrinsic in the nature of matter to assemble itself into a living, evolving entity. How does that differ from Darwinism David? Surely you can explain yourself here, but will you? I say you won't because you know you haven't a leg to stand on.

What is truly baffling is the way Dembski lets this pompous, unprincipled bully dominate his forum with his arrogant pronouncements.

It is hard to believe isn't it?

Pharyngula now recognizes me, my email address and my weblog. Here is the message I composed and sent only to be informed that I had made too many comments recently and should try again later. Of course that is utter nonsense.

Here is my comment and I meant every word of it.

"Organic evolution was planned from beginning to end and is no longer in progress. The present biota is the last to ever appear and much of it has already become extinct."

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

For the record and especially for David "I love being right" Springer and Anthony "sunspots" Watts.

For the record -

my message # 77

I have no truck with Barack Hussein Obama. His past associations with the likes of William Sawyer and Jeremiah Wright disqualfy him for the office of the presidency. He is a very dangerous man.

I just utilized P.Z. Myers' cowardly one way communication system to send him the following message -

"Since I am very definitely a creationist, I expect you to inform your faithful followers of this public confession by publishing this message. If you fail to comply, I will make that a matter of public record."

My message, should it appear, would be #81.

*Attention*

DaveScot, alias David "I love being right" Springer.

When are you going to mention Dr. James E Hansen's recent testimony before the Congress or are you going to assume that too doesn't exist?

I wait for your response here, on my blog or anyplace else, confident that you will maintain a stony silence. Cowardly, insecure tyrants are like that wherever one finds them.

I love it so!

Note that Anthony "sunspots" Watts is now doing everything in his power to denigrate James E Hansen, a real scientist. And who is Anthony Watts?

In his own words -

"I'm a former television meteorologist who spent 25 years on the air..."

How is that for credentials?

I call your attention to DaveScot's aka David "I love being right" Springer's comment #28 in which he mentions HIS front-loaded hypothesis. I ask how does HIS front-loaded hypothesis differ from MY Prescribed Evolutionary Hypothesis?

I will let each draw his own conclusion as to matters of precedence. I guess we can add blatant plagiarism to the list of his many other egomaniacal characteristics.

Anthony Watts introduced a poll about James E. Hansen's suggestion that Congress should put oil executives on trial. The results of that poll are quite revealing.

I see David "I love being right" Springer is still denying reality.

It is hard to believe isn't it?

"In view of the fact that God limited the intelligence of man, it seems unfair that he did not also limit his stupidity."
Konrad Adenauer."

"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."
Winston Churchill

That's David Springer.

More of the same from Springer and Gil Dodgen as well. To compare "global warming hysteria," which it most certainly is not, to Darwinian mysticism is utterly irresponsible. The devastating effects of ever increasing levels of atmospheric CO2 is one of the most perfectly documented phenomena in the history of science. The meticulous records from the Mauna Loa station in Hawaii tell the truth and the whole truth about the cause of global warming. All the rhetoric in the world can never negate those records, records that are cynically and deliberately avoided by all those who deny global warming. Their behavior is scandalous, politically motivated and irresponsible.

Why all the nonsense about computer models is being discussed escapes me. Computer models have never been worth a nickel as predictors of the future, just as they were a perfect failure as simulators of organic evolution.

Stated another way -

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

"We have met the enemy and it is us."
Pogo

This thread by Wesley Elsberry and the commments that follow fail to recognize that Alfred Russel Wallace, later in life, completely rejected the paradigm he helped to initiate. It is obvious from the complete title of his last book -

"The World of Life: A Manifestation of Creative Power, Directive Mind and Ultimate Purpose."
Chapman and Hall Ltd., London, 1911.

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