Most of today's science is a joke....science is run by a bunch of chance-loving atheists who have constructed an intellectual moat around themselves -- this moat disallows the free-flow of any information that contradicts the basic dogma they have constructed for their made-up, Sesame-Street-like fairytale world.

Why hasn't he raptured something, already?!
Edit: not only did he quote-mine, not only did he rearrange some of the words to suit his argument, he also used a 'paper' by someone who doesn't even hold the credentials he claims to. Dying a death, methinks, to be that desperate
(having read the bit of paper that he posted)
NATURAL SELECTION DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!
Natural selection works on the principle of "good enough". If you survive to pass on your genes, your genes were good enough. Thus, the more you pass on your genes, the better they were, and the more of your genes there are to pass on in the next generation.
And a paper written by a guy who claims to have a PhD but lists his contact information at Hotmail doesn't lend much credability to the paper.
Two words: Peer Review.
Every new scientific idea is attacked by a bunch of knowledgeable jealous colleagues who would rather that their ideas were recognized.
Most of today's religion is a joke....religion is run by a bunch of power loving theists who have constructed an intellectual moat around themselves -- this moat disallows the free-flow of any information that contradicts the basic dogma they have constructed for their made-up, Sesame-Street-like fairytale world.
fixed.
"Most of today's science is a joke...."
Most of Christianity is a joke, not a very good joke, but a joke nonetheless.
"science is run by a bunch of chance-loving atheists who have constructed an intellectual moat around themselves"
Many scientists are indeed atheists and some good scientists are actually Christian (for some odd reason). If you are referring to the evolution happening by chance, you are dead wrong. Mutations may appear by chance, but natural selection, while not directed, is not chance.
I'm sorry you feel excluded by the intellectuals. I'm sure they would be more welcoming if you took the time to understand what they are talking about.
"this moat disallows the free-flow of any information that contradicts the basic dogma they have constructed for their made-up, Sesame-Street-like fairytale world."
I'm sorry, you obviously have the scientists and other intellectuals confused with the Fundies. Fundies live by a fairy tale-like dogma. Scientists and intellectuals live by the scientific method, research and study.
You can get Irony Meters in bulk fairly cheaply at CostCo. Don't buy the Wal-Mart brands - they have been known to break at the slightest hint of irony.
Of course, for hacking through the strong, dense irony of guys like supersport, you need a nuclear-strength irony meter, as sold by Spectra-Physics. These precision instruments have been repeatedly tested within 10 inches of the irony-field created by two-dozen fundamentalists packed in dense formation, and have not broken under such extreme circumstances.
Naturally, of course, you'll need to cough up a cool $8 mil just for the base-model with no fancy frills. For an extra $3 mil, the "deluxe" model is dual purpose, serving as both Irony Meter and Bullshit Meter. The Fundie-Babble Translator attachment module is sold separately for $2 mil.

You guys gotta get one of these new industrial strength digital irony meter. This sucker displays in scientific notation. It's smoking but I think it's OK.
I'm going to replace the circuit breaker, just to be on the safe side.
Yeah, I got me one of them too. The guys at the shop recommended adding a filter to reduce the levels detected at the sensor by a factor of 10, so that it doesn't overload so easily. You lose some precision that way, obviously, but it's well worth it when you consider the number of irony meters this place has destroyed.
Did anyone notice how damning the very first sentence of the paper he referred to is?
"The fundamental premise of the intelligent design concept is that biological systems are the result of intelligent design."
Since in this case a premise is an assumed proposition for making an argument, he's admitting that at the very start ID is founded on circular logic.
Nice work, "Ph.D."
Well if you are so much better, become a scientist and break through that vast conspiracy they are perpetrating and expose the scientific community for what it 'really' is. Oh, you know less then they do? Then sit down.
Well, in that case don´t type in the computer, you know, sesame-street-like fairy tale.(and don´t take antibiotics or use internet for that matter)
Never mind all these new-fangled electronic gizmos. I rely absolutely on the old-fashioned, heavy-duty, Mark IV meter produced by the old Birmingham & West Bromwich Irony Co., from the days when British engineering meant something. Of course, it weighs a couple of tons, runs on coal and you can't get the parts any more, but it don't break.
Supersprout never fails to astound with his spewed idiocy. He's been repeating exactly the same lines for months and months now. You'd think that even he would realize the irony in his statements, but alas, no.
I could very easily make a statement about the sheer irony of this statement, but then, there have been so many similiar ones.
So instead, I say only this: supersport, you're an idiot.
Getting a scientific theory into a textbook and keeping it updated is like a military elite boot camp. No it is a like a multi-way gladiatorial death match between competing theories.
The process is tough, very tough. If it doesn't pass, too bad try something different.
Wasn't Sesame Street an educational TV series? Didn't it teach kids the alphabet and the numbers? If you don't like that, I can see where the "basic dogma they have constructed" comes from. Requiring people to have a basic education, how DARE they?!?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
