Forum: Biological Evolution Thread: Evolution and Complexity Message: 15 A concise and descriptive explanation of how selective pressures can either lead to more change or lead to more stasis, depending. Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Fixed link. It had been "m=18#15". This gets you to the page with message 18, and then jumps to message 15. Problem: Message 18 and 15 may not be on the same page for some people (including me). Therefore I changed the link to "m=15#15", which will work for everyone. In other words, it is best that those two numbers are always the same. Those who would sacrifice an essential liberty for a temporary security will lose both, and deserve neither. -- Benjamin Franklin We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat

Creationism museum opens in Alberta Message 95 In it's entirety:
Presumably you give equal recommendations for UFO museums? http://www.roswellufomuseum.com/ the bigfoot museum?http://www.bigfootmuseum.com/ Museums for lake monsters?http://www.worldhop.com/Journals/J11/PAGES/Magic.html http://sunnyokanagan.com/ogopogo/ and anything else that fits the faith category of knowledge... with no critical review for any actual facts. Summarizes why creationism museums is a bad thing for creationism. Do not debate the topic in this topic. Got to that topic. Then you will be the correct topic.

Message 289
Since before I have been a member of this forum I have been troubled by the idea that religious fanaticism uses a false understanding and apparently purposeful misrepresentation of actual science in order to attack science. I think Modulous exposes the hypocritical use of such pseudoscience in a manner that I agree with and think is much better than I have been able to muster. So kudos to Modulous for expressing this central refutation of anti-science dogma in such a well reasoned manner. This sums it up for me:
modulous writes: But why bother? It isn't necessary. Non-scientists using science sounding stuff to try and show that scientists have got science wrong??? Why not just say 'We don't accept the conclusions reached by natural science?' - trying to show that those conclusions are invalid within the framework of science by ignoring the majority of the physical evidence is not explaining how they feel that science is wrong - it is trying to convince others to distrust the authority that is science in favour of the authority that is them. Choose a knowledge gaining method and stick with it. Don't try and use a little bit of naturalistic methodology as it suits one (ie when the conclusions can be made to sound like they agree with one's supernatural myth of choice) since that is sloppy thinking and learning. When they do it knowing they are ignoring important evidence, that they are providing inconsistent thinking styles, and teaching misleading information...we should not be celebrating. One thing that confused me was that you said you disagreed with flood geology - but then you say that if it brainwashes wins hearts and minds then you celebrate it. Personally I find that reprehensible and hope to convince you eventually that this is so. If they want to spread that they believe the earth is only 6,000 years old then so be it - that's their belief. They shouldn't hijack the trust in scientific authority to gain a footing in the cultural battle unless they believe there is a NEED for underhand tactics. Perhaps there is a need for these tactics - but it doesn't stop them from being intellectually lazy, dishonest and intellectually dangerous.

I thought Modulous' post #272 was pretty good, too.

Message 84
RASD does a careful and complete and reasoned job of answering dendochronology issues. If there are flaws there are: 1) It is a lot to absorb. I doubt that the doubters want to actually learn so much. 2) The site referred to on the issue of false rings doesn't describe in as much detail as I would like. I not that the ring which almost touches the left lower corner and slopes to middle upper edge meets the description for a false ring but I think the only remaining thing would be to show other examples and point some out. (ooops I think I posted a dup of this in the wrong place )

Thanks. It is a lot, but it is necessary to show the depth of deception on the part of Don Batten and the bankruptcy of truth in his article.
