Man has always desired to comprehend the complexity of nature in terms of a few elementary concepts as possible. Among its quest, in Feynman’s words,has been the one for “wheel within wheels”, the task of Natural Philosophy being to discover the innermost wheels if any such exits. A second quest has concentrated itself with the fundamental force…

Actually bananas really and truly were designed for humans to eat – it simply that it was humans doing all the genetic tinkering to get there.   😉

I asked how you evaluate a single person, one who was wasting our time IMHO.

Guess, it’s never about a single person, from my perspective that is.  There’s always the onlookers with a spectrum of attitudes.

At what point do we give up, stand back and allow ignorance to have it’s way?

What did the Democrats accomplish by slamming the door on Republicans and not taking their best shot, and a then fighting back, with rationality and truth?

As for getting people to appreciate Evolution seems to me the key to that is trying to tell the fantastical story of Evolution.  Give people something to fill their heads with.  Creationism is a self-centered o…[Read more]

I haven’t had much time, so been missing a bunch.  It is has been an interesting thread.  It begins with:

INTELLIGENT DESIGN & CREATIONISM

“Intelligent design” is a thing — a specific thing.

I’ll admit I haven’t read a lot of stuff on the topic, though I’ve spent lots of time thinking about it.  Aside from what others say ID is, it seems to me ID…[Read more]

With all due respect that is.

OH speaking of the hearings, yesterday when they had business after the hearing and the Republicans had motions to call the Bidens to testify.  Rather than allowing debate, Democrats circled the wagons and tabled those motions fast as possible – Why didn’t the Democrats have the cohones and facts and sense to confront every deceptive meme being…[Read more]

Thank’s for those comments and that link up there.  Remember I’m reading this against the backdrop of watching Republicans in action raping the heck out of reality, law  and civility while royally screwing our future beyond what any of us could have imagined even a decade ago. – and it’s all so normalized.

The reason I believe this topic is of crucial important is because Holmes is an excellent example of the mindset of a third of this county.  He’s infuriating as hell, but he should be making us think harder about exposing his deception in real time.

Holmes, so do I get to assume you are incapable of honestly responding to the following query:

But where are your examples of Irreducible Complexity?

Holmes may I consider continued silence on this specific question –  as an acknowledgement that you have no serious examples of “Irreducible Complexity” to present.

Would that…[Read more]

It’s curious that no one has posted about the impeachment hearings.  Guess, HooHum.

Thanks.  I read through it another dozen times.  Kept picking off little things here and there, but it’s a wrap now and sent off.

I removed most the “then” – I’ve gotten into the habit of using them to keep the sentences moving forward, guess I need to watch that.
