[After being informed that the red squirrel dying out and being replaced by the grey squirrel due to disease is a form of natural selection.]

The red squirrel is dying because the grey is spreading a disease. This is what happens when things mix. This has nothing to do with 'natural selection'.

The Bible says God created everything within a specific boundary and designated it an area. The greys are not native and have broken out of their indigeous habitat and are killing off the red squirrels.

I don't think you understand the term 'natural selection'.

-----------------------------------------------

"[D]isease is an environmental factor. It is a form of natural selection in the same way that predation is: those who are affected do not pass on their genes, while those who avoid it (because of a behavioural, physiological, or geographical reason) do."

Only evolutionists believe disease is an environmental factor. The root of disease in the Bible is sin or faulty thinking or doing. Again this is the case where we have polar opposite beliefs on an issue.

So he denies the germ theory of disease as well. Now we know that Cassiterides does not believe in astronomy, gravity, the wave theory of light, evolution, and now, the germ theory of disease. I highly doubt that he is willing to swallow a test tube full of pathogen, even if he is sure that he did not commit any sins while doing so. Which makes him a hypocrite (if he isn't a Poe, and I'm beginning to think he is) and should just fuck off.

And in related news, I saw some grey squirrels today. They're so cute with their gathering leaves, and running up trees, and causing the deaths of red squirrels. Yup, definitely nothing sinful about them!

"And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and two of them were married, but then, they switched ... from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

Now that that's out of my system, care to explain Dutch Elm Disease, you silly idiot?

I don't think YOU understand natural selection.

Natural selection is an "is", not an "ought". It happens, but it isn't nice, and it's in any individual species best interests to make sure that it is favored by natural selection. In some cases, this means changing the rules of natural selection (which is what humans have done, and done very well). The grey squirrels are dominating the red squirrels because the environment favors the greys and not the reds, but if another species interferes and starts forcing the greys out and NOT the reds, the reds will flourish again, simply because they're there and the greys aren't. Natural selection is basically just "what survives survives".

Disease is tied to germs, not sin. There are things you can do to prevent germs from getting to you and fucking you over, but that doesn't mean that getting sick means you are somehow evil; you were just unfortunate.

"The root of disease in the Bible is sin or faulty thinking or doing"

Well, at least Cassiterides is consistent with what the babble says. In John 5:1-14 or so...jeebus heals a man and tells him if he sins he will get worse. That was typical of the theory of disease back then. You got sick because you sinned.

But it calls to question: If the gray squirrels are spreading the disease....that is a disease the grey squirrels got for being sinful. So....why are the red squirrels getting sick? From the disease of the grey squirrels? That would be the germ theory of disease. OR....perhaps the grey squirrels are tempting the red squirrels to live a life of squirrel sin.......

I would sure like to ask Casse about that one.....

I'm surprised no one picked up the subtle racism in this quote.

Yes, we're dealing with squirrels here, but compare that with the language used by Judge Leon M. Bazile when he upheld the ban on interracial marriage in Virginia:

"Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix."

In essence, every creature (human and non-human) should stay "where God placed them", and God never intended for any creatures to mix.

SIN BE PRAISED

O Lord, your book of sin so bold
The Holy Bible we follow as told
To do all the fine sin
in thy great name
You'll save us from hell
and absolve us of blame.

O Lord, we kiss thy ring of gold
All evil sinners do flock to thy fold
To praise thy abhorrent ways
as thou'st kill and maim
You'll save us from hell
and absolve us from blame.

O Lord, we clap thee from below
From deed of evil to evil blow
And cheer thy malignant bigotry
Thy evil eye of no escape
sees how we'll burn, and persecute and rape.
O God of War and Torture and Hate
O God of Selling Weapons To Fools
Thou art sublime, invisible, sneaky and great.

Crawling as the lowly snake
upon his belly, we do wriggle and scrape
Slavishly we do thee implore, O Lord,
War we do adore, what more?
Can'st we instigate more death for profit
If it doth please thee, O Great Terror Lord?

Thanks be O Lord, thy evil we love
You are a guide to we simple clods,
we puppets of dust, we muppets of lust,
with our banal dreams of Heaven, we minions of disgust.
Thou insanity in the clouds that flies
you'll save us from fiery Hell.
Thou filthy monster that invisibly lies
and call us to Heaven where we'll immortally dwell.

Amen

"I'm waiting for Truthseeker to come and tell us Cassiterides doesn't believe sin causes disease in squirrels, merely that it is an alternative and equal hypothesis."

And to test that hypothesis, here's some fap material for Casshiterides. Amy the Squirrel:

"Dirty sinning red squirrels"

Amy's not bad, she's just drawn that way.

"Now that that's out of my system, care to explain Dutch Elm Disease, you silly idiot?"

And if Casshiterides were to do the research, he'd discover that all the bees that exist today in the UK are actually the descendants of Mexican honeybees imported after WWI, after the native British honeybee became extinct due to Isle of Wight Flu.

On page 11 of that thread, he says (his emphasis):

"I don't believe in Germ theory of disease."

We have seen germs through microscopes, but since we have a germ "theory" of disease, he cries, "But it's only a theory!"

We have observed evolution, but since we have a "theory" to explain how it works, he cries, "But it's only a theory!"

We have measured the distance of the sun from earth using observation and mathematical formulas, but since we haven't physically traveled there, he cries, "But it's only a theory!"

We know that mass attracts mass, and we have named this phenomenon, "gravity." But, since we have theories to explain how gravity works, he doesn't believe in gravity, crying, "But it's only a theory!"

We have traveled to the moon, and seen the earth from a distance. We have orbited it, we have satellites orbiting it, planes fly around it daily, and we know for a fact that it's spherical. And yet, the flat-earthers all claim it's a theory that the earth is spherical. This must be Cassiterides' source when he cries, "But it's only a theory!"

We have measured the speed of light, but Cassiterides claims it doesn't travel at all, that we see things because the light emits from our eyes, or something like that. He claims that our "belief" that light travels is based on the assumption of an old universe, which to him is "Only a theory!"

This last one follows suit with the young-earth creationist belief that, since they always start with the assumption that their chosen holy book is true, then every claim science makes is based on unproven assumptions, as well, as bobabelever outlines so beautifully in the same thread with this post.

No, bobabelever, evolution is the conclusion, not the assumption, just as an old universe is the conclusion we arrive at when we know the speed of light and other variables.
