A great post, clearing up errors and heading off misunderstandings (some of which exascerbated by myself) on the subject of that oh-so-mysterious non-coding DNA.

This one kind of shows up how badly some people can get locked inside the walls in their own head and be unable to see over them. And then it shows how silly it is.

Although I don't completely agree with him, his analogy of God and the founder of FedEx is interesting.

Reply to Skeptic's paranoid fear of scientists and science. Passionate and powerful. It made me say "Yeah!" when I got to the end.

I'll second that. I particularly like this line from Mammuthus's post.
quote:
Whereas those of strong faith can withstand the progress made by science in learning and characterizing the unknown without feeling that their faith is shaken or threatened, creationists cringe in fear and denial with every leap science makes.
Our man Skeptick (RIP) actually brought out the best in a couple of veteran posters, as this classic from Crashfrog shows:

Mainly - the point about atheism not being anything to do with evolution was honest and intelligent. Go Scraff!

The visual example of smooth transition of colors followed by the visual example of transition in squirrels was very simple but very powerful, in my opinion.

If this is not up there with "the dog ate my homework" for poor excuses for not being able to back up ones assertions, then nothing is...ooo boy..just you wait..when I get that perpetual motion machine up and running with the swimming fin attached, I'll set it to spank your butt forever..just you wait and see.

Quetzal, who has been sorely missed around here, both shows how Syamsu is wrong (like shooting fish in a barrel) and gives one of the most information dense rebuttals to come along in a while. Good stuff for anyone interested in extinction research. A definite post of the month.
