RationalWiki:What is going on at ASK?/July 2009
From RationalWiki
| -2 | PJR: "Project Steve demonstrated that evolutionists are happy to use an argument ad populum to disprove a non-existent argument ad populum by opponents of evolution!" Really, Phil? These don't exist? |
| 3 | "Evolution is not controversial", "Sorry, but you're in denial", "No, Philip, it is you in denial", "no I aint!", "Surely then creationism is controversial"...... "Damn you evilutionists!" |
| 0 | Jokes aside, this is a smear job, beginning to end, worthy of Ken. Stay classy, PJR. |
| 1 | CMI said it, I believe it, that settles it. |
| 3 | Intellectual honesty at work. |
| -3 | PJR, for some reason, has to ask why it is correct to refer to fundamentalists as being against gay marriage. |
| 0 | The evidence is here! The evidence is...uh...oh, you wanted convincing evidence, didn't you? |
| -2 | Almost there, Philip. Let's see, if uniformitarian science is "anti-biblical", and Christians who aren't YEC nutters are (mis)reading the Bible, how long before people who don't agree with you stop being real Christians? |
| -3 | The circular definition goes round and round. Everybody sing! |
| 1 | PJR in his own words: "I question [radiometric dating methods] because they're questionable! And because they contradict the biblical account." |
| -3 | PJR: Uniformitarianism is a pile of bunk, except, of course, when it is used to argue for God's existence, at which point it becomes uncontroversial and any questioning of it becomes totally speculative. |
| -4 | Ken reaches a new level of idiocy, admitting that he can't even tell if the organization the "noted Swedish geneticist" Nils Heribert Nilsson was "director" of even existed. |
| 11 | PJR almost goes Jack Chick: Ancient Chinese astronomy was based upon the teachings of the Jesuits. Really good time-travelers, those Jesuits, being able to influence astronomy 3,000-plus years before their order was made... |
| -6 | PJR, ignoring everything Darwin said about natural selection, is trying to make a point with matches. |
| -5 | Ken: "Ace, please do not expect me to reply to your ravings. It was no surprise that you did not show one single example of me engaging in deception/lying." No surprise, certainly, given that the "ravings" were a complaint that Ken deep-burns the examples... |
| -1 | PJR: Science depends on monotheism, therefore Greek science never went anywhere. Obviously Callippus and Euclid were just spinning their wheels on the fast road to hELL... |
| 4 | PJR has his own take on what constitutes "reasoned argument": When a columnist writes a satiric column in favor of gay marriage, that's unreasoned mud-slinging. When Paul Cameron puts out pamphlets alleging that gays are all child-molesters who intentionally spread AIDS, well, that's reasoned argument. |
| -5 | Oh my goodness Phil, no one is going to read all this. |
| 0 | Ruylopez/Conservative/Newton/Ken can stop Gentlemenning ANY time he wants to. He just does it to take the edge off, right? |
| -3 | I don't understand Haldane's Dilemma all that well. I admit I don't understand Haldane's Dilemma all that well. Therefore, I can criticize your understanding of Haldane's Dilemma. |
| -3 | Ken: If you're a true believer and you say being gay is A-OK, the Holy Spirit will tap you on the shoulder. |
| 2 | PJR: Creationists don't deliberately conceal things to dupe scientists; they deliberately don't reveal things so as not to prejudice scientists. |
