Thanks for showing up. I doubt that you visit me once a week. I am confident you visit every day just as Myers, Dawkins and Elsberry do and all for the same reason.
"Davison is the Darwinians' worst nightmare."
Terry Trainor.
That is why Springer too has banished Davison from his domain, Uncommon Descent, which he now rules with an iron fist.
By shifting the origin to some other civilization, you have accomplished absolutely nothing. You are not the first to employ this strategy. Svante Arrhenius, Nobel laureate in Chemistry, came up with "panspermia" a hundred years ago. He only suggested an infection. You apparently are going much further, suggesting we were visited by a superior race who started the ball rolling just for us and then disappeared? Give me a break. Do you realize how bizarre, how ridiculous that sounds? Apparently not.
The only real issue is the basis for the origin and subsequent ascending evolution which has, over the course of several million years, produced the present living world. Where this was initiated has nothing to do with it. That is buck-passing pure and simple. Frankly I am amazed you would give it any credence. Perhaps you read too much science fiction in your formative years. I know you read a lot of it and probably still do.
There is NO evidence that life has ever existed anywhere else. SETI was a disaster and proved to be a waste of the taxpayers money.
As long as you persist in your position as recently stated you are a Darwinian mystic and you might as well join them. You can't have it both ways. You can't promote front loading as you do and at the same time deny a role for one or more programmers.
I have conceded only one aspect of the Creationist position: the insistence that a personal God still exists and I am not even certain about that. Gods are like that don't you know.
Here are some disturbing realities. There is no reason to assume a single origin of life and several reasons to question it. There is no reason to assume a single Creator either. As I concluded in my essay "What is an atheist?," there is no more reason to assume a monophyletic evolution than there is to assume a single Creator. But to deny, as you have done, the necessity for one or more entities (Gods) with intelligence far beyond out comprehension, labels you an atheist and, accordingly, a Darwinian mystic.
You keep harping about the Laws of Physics and how they cannot be violated, oblivious to the reality that every living creature violates those laws constantly, only yielding to them finally with its death.
I assume you will disappear from the field for another week or so as you always do. That does not mean that I will not continue to expose you as the unprincipled hypocrite that you have recently, once again, demonstrated yourself to be. You don't believe a thing that Dembski represents but you will never admit it. You have parasitized Uncommon Descent with one goal in mind which is to establish your supremacy whatever the cost. You have eliminated your critics often for the slightest of reasons and, in the process, become an intolerant tyrant, in your own words, a "blogczar" who has described his powers, again in your own words, taken verbatim from the Bible, with -
"The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away"
and
"I love being right."
You are an egocentric bully pure and simple. It is always with ones own words and actions that the real person emerges and you have now left no questions unanswered concerning your Machiavellian character, purposes and methods. You are a blight upon the face of rational discourse and an obstacle to the search for the truth.
It is hard to believe isn't it?
It doesn't get any better than this.

Note comment #12. David "I love being right" Springer has just eliminated Tom Riddle and is threatening to do the same with Larry Fafarman, this time over disagreement concerning the "off topic" subject of national politics.
The "Blogczar" strikes once again. "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away." Isn't he just precious?
It is hard to believe isn't it?
I love it so!

My blog is doing just fine with a doubling of my daily visits so I will refrain from further linking to it. Just occasionally visit -
jadavison.wordpress.com
and contribute if you choose.

Hi John,
I see you didn't present any evidence where magic is required to explain organic evolution.
I'll come back in another week to see if you can come up with some facet of organic life that couldn't conceivably be created in a lab without any spooky interventions from incorporeal bearded thunderers and whatnot.

I figured it was about time for Springer to emerge once again, probably only to disappear supremely confident he has scored a victory.
I am a confessed and professed Creationist myself. It is David "I love being right" Springer who has joined the Darwinista by denying any role for the supernatural.
I presented my position on my blog by quoting Montaigne -
"Man is certainly stark mad; he cannot make a worm, and yet he will be making gods by dozens."
and responding -
"Man makes gods because he cannot make a worm."
Let us all know when evolving life is created in the laboratory.
It doesn't get any better than this.

I see that David "I love being right" Springer is still debunking anthropogenic global warming and reminding everyone that Uncommon Descent, that citadel of certainty, has been doing that for years. I recommend that Springer read James Lovelock's "The Revenge of Gaia," Martin Rees' "Our Final Century" and Tim Flannery's "The Weather Makers."

The simple truth is that William Dembski has an atheist fox in his theist hen house. His name is David "I love being right" Springer. The only question is what, if anything, Dembski will or can do about it.

Daniel Smith continues to make fools of the anonymous cowards at Esley Welsberry's "inner sanctum," "After the Bar Closes."
I predict that Daniel Smith will soon be denied participation on that Darwinian ghetto and for exactly the same reasons that Martin and myself have been. He already can speak only from the "bathroom wall" a sure prelude to banishment.
Mark my words.

Hey David "I love being right" Springer.
Your week is up tomorrow.
It is not I who has to defend his Creationism. It is you who has to defend his sneaky but finally revealed Darwinian Atheism. If you are afraid to do it here on Dembski's weblog, do it on my weblog - jadavison.wordpress.com
I'll copy it all over the place wherever you do it. Just do it because if you don't, that will become a matter of record also. Trust me.

In addition to throughly subverting Uncommon Descent by converting it into an organ for atheist Darwinism, Springer has also turned it into a political forum which was never its original intent.
Whatever happend to the nominal heads - Dembski and O'Leary? And where are their friends? Are there any left at Uncommon Descent? Not that I can see. Springer has finally achieved what he has always sought - complete control of Uncommon Descent. He has even bragged about it as I have documented earlier.
I have often wondered why Dembski permitted me to hold forth here. Perhaps the time has finally come for him to give heed to my warnings concerning the methods and purposes of David Springer.
