great thread

the mitchum scrap with Italkshite just gave it a certain piquante quality, a certain je ne sais quoi

This presumption that there is a binary choice between Darwin and God is completely wrongheaded. If you think that you are not talking science anymore you are actually talking a new religion - Evolutionism.

I thought the problem was creationism attempting to be taken seriously in the scientific world rather than whether or not god exists?

Are you sure about that? Surely a person can't believe that God created man in his own image and still believe that man evolved from apes?

Yah, a certain baudrillardian metanarrativity in a liminal (mis)appropriation of reality, yes, certainly

can you imagine this thread taking place in reality, say in some café or something? 40 people, loud shouting, sweaty tantrums, some valid arguments, quiet points being made, amusing asides, people wrestling on the floor.. all at once.

You are clearly discounting the distinct possibility that God was a monkey when he made monkey Adam and monkey Eve.

I wish your carer kept you away from the conpewter.

haha, so now you're reduced to implying i'm disabled? Top drawer old man.

Mitchum: You see that child in the wheelchair there? With the spit on his mouth, which his carer tries to wipe away but only succeeds in wiping across his face?

RSJ: I have observed the mongoloid.

Mitchum: That's you that is. That's you watching old people playing bowls. "Umh thats ih mavis, lean into ih".

I guess so
As an aside - Isn't Dawkins Selfish gene theory just another form of I.D

You have that all wrong. Men will evolve into monkeys - they are the higher form, not us.

(because, obviously, i am reading up about id when i should be working..)

there's a pretty interesting discussion (well, the bit of it i've read) here

i rather liked:

ID is a trojan horse which is not meant to contribute to actual scientific discourse, but instead to single out evolution in particular as an "incomplete" theory. It's part of the creationists' long game, in which the views and attitudes of pre-college students are to be softened up for acceptance of more extreme, and even less scientifically defensible, viewpoints. This demands that ID proponents take advantage of most peoples' profound ignorance of science and the scientific method and that they appeal to a misguided sense of fairness and "equal time" for all points of view.

Taking the moral highground, now?
How cute.

and suddenly it all makes sense....

 

[MDR]

I'd like to hear what the monkeys have to say on all this. I think we're giving too much weight to the human point ofview.

no

"selfish" in this sense was a metaphor, just as the "blind watchmaker" was also a metaphor

metaphors are used all over science

parables, even

not meant to be taken literally

hmm, I've heard this before somewhere....

 

[MDR]

Who would have thought that out of all mankind, it would be the nerds who took on God?
