He uses them to as catergories of a "problem" he himself define, namely "febble-mindedness". <br />Whenever you uses these words, it makes you appear to be yet another eugenicist rearing his head. Because you Dr. Goddard was an eugenicist, who used his classification scheme to advocated the sterilization of people and their segregation from society. <br /><br />He say certain people identify early in life were predisposed to criminal behavior and suggested that the criminal courts should treat them differently. This was until later in his life, when he found out how his work was used to enforced anti-immigration, racial and other bigotry. At that point he retracted. <br /><br />But apparently you missed his retraction.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12680311426152934979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-5299219934731530572010-09-24T18:59:47.417-04:002010-09-24T18:59:47.417-04:00Rosetta, a computer program, can design a new prot...Rosetta, a computer program, can design a new protein fold de novo in a couple of days of computer time. <br /><br />"Design of a Novel Globular Protein Fold with Atomic-Level Accuracy"<br />Brian Kuhlman, Gautam Dantas, Gregory C.

Or some other Mix of Murky Motivations(TM). While we are busy trying to understand their motivations so that we can have a reasoned debate, the IDiots have delivered their bullsh*t and walked away.<br /><br />Perhaps we should always first respond "You're wrong, and here is why..." before we try and be reasonable?DiscoveredJoyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300239909689336895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-17658832925721409992010-09-24T16:04:23.610-04:002010-09-24T16:04:23.610-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.DiscoveredJoyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300239909689336895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-54407956598917561812010-09-24T15:51:11.296-04:002010-09-24T15:51:11.296-04:00They make extensive use of false dichotomy by assu...<i>They make extensive use of false dichotomy by assuming there are only two possible explanations for a biological phenomenon—their (usually false) version of evolution, or creationism. By "refuting" their strawman version they assume that the only alternative is creationism.</i><br /><br />Don't you see how it is that the enormous evidence <b>for evolution</b> must have been designed by God and/or Satan, since evolution cannot occur?<br /><br />See, so all you have to do is to refute evolution, because then the only thing we know that would deceive us by putting in evidence for evolution is intelligence, either God or Satan.<br /><br />At least that's the best I can come up with. Aside, that is, the constant fallacy of quoting Dawkins and others who, rather prejudicially, claim that life looks like it was designed (it may to them, there's nothing about life's appearance that would lead an unbiased person to that conclusion). That's a staple in ID "argumentation," and that it's a fallacy is only par for ID and its drive to change science from its biases against faulty reasoning and evidence-free assertions.<br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/mxaa3p" rel="nofollow">Glen Davidson</a>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647353309370269220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-89028833482557784462010-09-24T12:53:33.396-04:002010-09-24T12:53:33.396-04:00I think its cute when IDiots say my research is im...I think its cute when IDiots say my research is impossible (#1 and #2).<br /><br />I also think its funny my brain considers Paul Nelson and Stephen Meyer the same person.
