"The Origin of Specious Nonsense"

Pushtrak · 2010-09-13 15:06:36

http://www.theoriginofspeciousnonsense.com/ Someone on my facebook posted this. I went to the site but its a hideous mess and hard to see what is going on there. Though it is playing Ennio Morricone so I kept the tab open.

There are certainly people here who pretend to.

It doesn't matter. They are still the 'monkey' Kind.

Scientists in South Africa say they have discovered a potential missing link in the evolutionary chain between humans and our earliest ancestors.

What a useless phrase.

... he arrived at it by pure prejudice ... dressed up in pseudo-scientific ... and pseudo-liberal 'clothes'!!!!

Please also note that none of the Evolutionists are prepared to defend the paper they have cited as challenging ID.

... and this is the only paper they have cited against ID.

That's another lie J C. Many papers have been cited. You just ignore them so you don't have to answer awkward questions.

Why do you lie do much? Are you allergic to honesty or truth?

I'm no troll ... so you are lying about me ... because you can't face the truth ... that Spontaneous Evolution has never happened.

blah blah troll blah nonsense blah clinging to claims blah deny evidence blah blah

Why are you here? We've already established that if the bible said the sky was red, you'd believe it in spite of all the evidence. You are talking to rational people who do not share this level of self delusion - you are wasting your time. Why not troll some people who are more vulnerable to buying your nonsense? You are a long-busted flush here.

Fair point. It's just quite amusing to watch JC try to break down a fortress of rationality by smashing his/her face off the walls over and over again...

I don't think anyone comes to this thread expecting J C to suddenly engage in rational debate and intellectual honesty. It's just a guilty pleasure, like making a puppy run round and round in circles until he gets dizzy and throws up on your friend's carpet.

Plus it's meme fodder.
And a great place to start if you ever debate real creationists.
You get to see all teh half baked arguments and the rebuttals.

Addressed your non-argument here.

That entire paper gives a detailed account of why demski's awkwardly cobbled mathematical theories, and hackneyed (made-up) terminology are nonsense. Retro-fitting pseudo-science to ancient fairytales. You do not understand it, so you scoff and pretend it is meaningless. It's more sad than it is amusing.

... and my post questions each of the conclusions in the paper ... thereby questioning the entire paper.

You still haven't provided a reason why you think the paper is flawed. You just claim that it is. I don't think you've even read it.

Do you even know how an argument works? The paper is solid. You're going to have to do more than say you. Don't accept it. You're going to have to provide proof of the flaws.

You won't, of course. Not just because you're scared of facing it. The science behind the paper is solid, reproducible and peer-reviewed. You have nothing to offer against it. Judging by how you handle debate, you wouldn't know how to use evidence against it even if you had some.

I don't begrudge you your belief in some god. I don't even care that you hold different contradicting ideas which let you reconcile your loving god with mass murder. But your desperate claims that there's actually science to justify the whole sorry lot is just sad. The lengths of dishonesty and apparent delusion you resort to, pathetic.

Why not just admit you believe in something irrational without any evidence, and leave it at that?

I think he did admit that recently - but for some reason he thinks he can also convince the rest of us that the world is flat, the sun orbits the earth, and that people can live long and fulfilling lives inside the stomachs of large marine mammals...:pac:

I have asked where exactly the summary statements are grounded in the body of the paper ... and so far ... silence!!!

That's the irony ... there is objective scientific evidence for the creation of the CFSI in life ... and there is no evidence that it could be spontaneously produced.

For a man who would believe that the earth was created by the quack of a cosmic duck if it said so in the Bible, you are very concerned with the foundations of other peoples' beliefs! :pac:

Just read the paper, J C. It's all laid out there in a clear logical fashion. It doesn't even use many big words. Stop being so lazy. The onus is on you to show why we shouldn't accept the paper's findings.

I realise you're used to being spoonfed everything you've been taught, but at some point you're going to have to get off your ass and so your own homework. Why are you so scared of it?

Prove to us you aren't a cowardly dishonest evasive hypocritical fraud. Debunk a few points from that paper. That's all it will take to win you some respect. Are we asking too much of you?
