Natural Science 301 Guidelines

This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.

As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

    Lying again, Jorge? You know Matzke didn't produce his critique in less than a day. You've made this claim before, and it's been shot down before. Last time you tried to wriggle off the hook by saying that you meant 24 hours and didn't include time for eating/sleeping etc. It didn't work then and it definitely won't work now. So what's you excuse this time?

      That's why I confined my detailed critique to your claims. Of course you have no substantive response.

        At least you're "honest" enough to admit that you haven't read Lubenow's book - that puts you one up on Matzke.

        From all that I know I stand by Lubenow's work.
        It might help a bit if you actually read the book.

        BTW, the following recent headline supports why I don't blindly swallow the claims of "science" as most of you people do. Not that I expect that this will be understood by most of you (in fact, I'd bet the farm that most of you will 'pooh-pooh it'), but here it is nonetheless:
        http://www.newscientist.com/article/...l#.U75oq0BXfEq

        See, one day they're swearing that they've got the "Holy Grail", the next day they're saying, "Oops, maybe not!" Just like the recent "Find of the century!!!" regarding the "proof" of the Big Bang / gravitational waves. Shortly later, "Oops!" And why are they so anxious to promote their beliefs labeled as "science"? Easy - because the main issue is about beliefs, not about science. As I've always said, science is merely a second-tier servant to ideology. In the meantime, people get suckered into believing the Materialistic view of Reality and many lose their soul in the process. That summarizes the entire matter.

          I thought you understood how science works and humans behave Jorge.

          I believe it was a bunch of those atheistic materialistic scientist who convinced the other atheistic materialistic scientists that they could be wrong. And those atheistic materialistic scientists now agree.

          See how well be behave?

            False, unsupported accusations of "lying" again.
            I must ask the Mods, why hasn't Roy been banned?

            You are an ignorant, pompous, intellectually-dishonest buffoon, Roy.
            I hope that I'm not mincing any words and that my meaning is crystal clear.

            Read the following and try not to choke on it:

            "Now, Darwin's Doubt runs to 413 pages, excluding endnotes and bibliography. Neither the book's publisher, HarperOne, nor its author sent Matzke a prepublication review copy. Did Matzke in fact read its 400+ pages and then write his 9400+ word response -- roughly 30 double-spaced pages -- in little more than a day?

            Perhaps, but a more likely hypothesis is that he wrote the lion's share of the review before the book was released based upon what he presumed it would say. A reviewer who did receive a prepublication copy, University of Pittsburgh physicist David Snoke, writes:

            A caution: this is a tome that took me two weeks to go through in evening reading, and I am familiar with the field. Like the classic tome Gödel, Escher, Bach, it simply can't be gone through quickly. I was struck that the week it was released, within one day of shipping, there were already hostile reviews up on Amazon. Simply impossible that they could have read this book in one night.

            See, unlike people such as yourself, I try to secure objective facts before speaking.

            Now, EITHER REFUTE THE ABOVE OR POST A PUBLIC APOLOGY.

                As an aside, and in reference to your demand at the end of your post. Such demands can only carry weight if you have demonstrated some willingness of your own to be similarly constrained. Since you have repeatedly and in far more offensive circumstances demonstrated the antithesis, you have no moral grounds upon which to make such a demand.

                My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                  Still no substantive response from Jorge. The "new" Jorge just posts PRATTs and runs.

                    Yet more evidence that Jorge doesn't understand how (natural) science works.

                    Or maybe it's just his ideology?

                          As amply demonstrated by previous exchanged posts, you wouldn't understand if I explained it in one or two books, let alone "sentences". So I'll pass, if you don't mind (and even if you do mind).

                          Besides, anyone with an IQ above that of a tomato would have grasped my point.

                            My IQ is on par only with a kumquat, so please simplify and repeat.

                            Please be succinct since I have a very short attention span too.

                            Hey you! I'm still waiting for a link to a website which gives a pure, direct, simple, straightforward, obvious, literal reading a Genesis.

                            Think of it as schooling the ponderously ignorant.

                              Naturally, this dishonest statement should not go without response. I quoted you in context (do you want those links again?), which demonstrated not just your initial mouthing off with an incorrect over generalisation, but went on to blunder in your assessment of 4 anti evolutionary papers. Not just once, but twice. Naturally you could not face the shame of having made such a ridiculous error, you instead tried every dishonest tactic at your command to divert the attention away from you. But nothing you tried worked, so you left the thread in a huff, hoping you heard the last of it. As I said before, your antics and blunders in that thread will hound you for the rest of your days in NS301, until you come clean.

                              I am tempted to get you modded if another of your posts contains this level of blatant falsehoods towards me, but then that will give you cause for future complaint that the world is against you rather than keeping you focused on your blunders. Far better to keep reminding you of your blunders by quoting you in context and show the readers of these threads the detestable levels at which you operate given that you have no ability to change your past posts where you have erred and refuse to acknowledge your mistakes.
