Materialists believe in magic

[Roy]

I'm shocked that Clucky McPoopy was impressed by this insipid drivel. Batten needs to stick to fruit and nuts.

Oh my. Batten's article is awful:

God made the sun and the stars on the fourth day of Creation Week. Again, this is not magic or superstition, because God is able to do such things...

Think of the supposed origin of humans from a chimp-like ape in six million evolutionary years. Modern comparison of the genomes shows such large differences (of at least 20%) ...

"At least 20%"???

Chasing down Batten's reference to Batten's own work which cites something else finds this: . In Batten's world, possibly 19% means at least 20%.

And of course there's the obligatory quote-mine:*
There's an obvious misrepresentation since New Scientist describes Paul Davies as "a physicist and writer" not an astrobiologist. Another obvious issue is that Batten (or his predecessor in the quote-chain) has added a period in the middle of Davies's sentence to make it appear that he had no more to say. It's no surprise that continuing beyond the words Batten quote-mined gives a different picture of Davies's views:

"Nobody knows, but
...
Although there is no known law of physics able to create information from nothing"

A creationist has quoted a scientist who said "[something] but [something else]" as "[something] full stop". Their standard technique.

But I'm not surprised that Clucky McWelcher was impressed by it, since he is also impressed by Kent Hovind's invented 'facts'.

Isn't that a Karl Rove strategy?

You mean, Gods gift to women, Carl Rove?

[Roy]

Not how I would describe him - unless there's a Carl Rove as well as a Karl Rove?

" Clucky McPoopy " ???

Only your 2nd post here and already you're displaying extreme bias and stupidity.
WOW - that has got to be some kind of record!

Do us all a favor and return to the rock that you crawled out from under, Bret.
Obviously you have absolutely nothing to contribute.

I'm shocked, shocked!, that much like 99% of his 10,000 posts on old TWeb Dr.* $2595 avoids the evidence I posted and instead clucks and poops about me.

Don't you worry about me , I've been around TWeb for a while. Just using my real name instead of a handle now.

He contributed more than you did, welcher. You'll never address Batten's ignorance of star fusion; you'll just vomit all over the forum as usual.

The truly embarrassing part for you is that a "2595 PhD" - as you say - can make such a jackass out of you. Reminds me of Kent Hovind. His "Patriot University PhD" has been ridiculed for decades yet I have many videos of debates where Hovind makes "real PhDs" look like stuttering, drooling idiots.

That kind of says it all, doesn't it.

Don't you worry about me, I've been around TWeb for a while. Just using my real name instead of a handle now.

Ah, now it all makes sense!

Yeah, I get it ... just like a Clinton, you show up with a new title (First Lady, Senator, Sec'ty of State, ...), bury the past and start with a "clean" slate. Hey, "what does it matter anyway?", right?

Thanks for the heads up ... I'll be sure to avoid your stupidity in the future.

Are you in the least bit comprehending what I've written?

Go back, re-read (maybe 2 or 3 more times) and try again.

Here's a hint:

Who is this "us" that I am accusing of believing in magic?
Did you become a Materialist since the last time that you haunted me?

BTW, love that pic of the kitten!

Jorge

Thanks for the complement on the cat. I have been a long time kitty owner..... and no I've never been a materialist.

Hey, cute is cute ... what else can you say?

and no I've never been a materialist.

Then your post to me is a total mystery. The "us" makes you a Materialist.

Where do you think you did this? It certainly wasn't in post #34.

Like a true Clinton, you have a short memory for your crimes and embarrassments.

Jorge has no shame, and in many ways no internalized moral compass. He certainly has a seriously compromised sense of personal ethics (fake Ph.D./welching on his bet/willingness to pretend he thinks a steam explosion could legitimately explain an asteroid impact)

So you are mostly wasting your time. You can't make a man without a conscience feel guilty.

Look above, yeah, at the post above and you will get a real-time, live example
of what I mean by O-Mudd's blatant and embarrassing dishonesty. Keep it
coming, O-Mudd, I can dish it out as fast as you can. Heck, faster!

Can you please define exactly which point was dishonest.

Can you point to a post you have exhibited shame at something stupid?

Can you point to a post where you have apologized for anything you thought wasn't quite right.

Did you or did you not buy a PhD from a diploma mill just before the book with Gitt was piblished?

Did you or did you not make a bet that all agree you lost but have yet to honor?

Do you or do you not continue to support a paper claiming craters left by steam explosions could explain the kind of impacts classed as asteroid impacts?
