Forum: Coffee House Thread: Of Snarks and Dogpiles Message #: 34 Subtitle is "Debate Fatigue". Summary: Evolutionists, tired of PRATTs? Go find a life elsewhere (or something like that). Even got a (+) from Admin. Moose Edited by Minnemooseus, : Had forum name wrong.Professor, geology, Whatsamatta U Evolution - Changes in the environment, caused by the interactions of the components of the environment. "Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will piss on your computer." - Bruce Graham "The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness." - John Kenneth Galbraith "Yesterday on Fox News, commentator Glenn Beck said that he believes President Obama is a racist. To be fair, every time you watch Glenn Beck, it does get a little easier to hate white people." - Conan O'Brien "I know a little about a lot of things, and a lot about a few things, but I'm highly ignorant about everything." - Moose

He spreaks of PRATTS, and in general of creationists never learning. Buzz gives a jeer often to posts speaking negatively of creationists or their points. So, it didn't really puzzle me, cheers/jeers often follow a pattern, so I tend to check them to find out more about the preferences of the memberhood concerning posts.
It's a good post btw, although I do not share the fatigue myself.(yet)

Seconded, and then some.
Dwise1 has an insider's knowledge and has been in on the debate far longer than almost anyone else I know of, if not anyone else at all around this site. Here he beautifully explains what the whole deal is about.Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. - Francis Bacon

I started getting involved around 1981. Though I didn't start posting on-line, in CompuServe, until circa 1987. I have seen a lot happen over the years.

Though POM is not for discussion etc, since some wondered why, I'll post a one message explanation. I jeered Caffeine's because the message implicated all creationists in one lump, which is, of course certainly objectionable to evolutionists as well. This happens all to often, imo.
quote: Any active member on this board should be aware that the Buzsaw Hypothesis is unique in many ways from that of most. There are many other creationists of whom the allegations in the message would not apply. I've read Dwise's entire long discourse on problematic creationists. There's a lot in that discourse of Dwises that I fully agree to, having encountered some of them as a non-conformist to the mainliner YECs. I am not popular among YECs in and out of church circles; in fact as unpopular as I am here, idiologically. I've found it necessary to pretty much stand alone, effectively advocating for an irrifutable rock solid ID Biblical creationist alternative. ABE: Via research, being fully convinced that The Biblical record is reliable, I agree to Caffeine and Dwise's allegations that here that, for the most part, there is no viable creationist paradigm on origins etc. Therefore it's high time for a viable one to be found and aired. I and other creationist non-conforists should not be lumped together with the majority. Edited by Buzsaw, : No reason given. Edited by Buzsaw, : No reason given.BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW. The Immeasurable Present Eternally Extends the Infinite Past And Infinitely Consumes The Eternal Future.

Great detailed post by dwise1, glad someone else (and of course, he is not the only one, and with this I praise all) can step up and defend mathematics, which is evidently under attack by a few of the, to put it mildly, unenlightened.
What will they attack next? Obviously no form of knowledge or virtue is off the table. That is why sometimes, I just can't bear to look for a few days.Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. - Francis Bacon
