Yep, typical. A barrage of accusations calling me a troll and claiming I called you a moron when in fact I have done neither. Nice way to avoid the topic at hand and dodge the actual discussion. You might not be a typical creationist but you sure act like one. The most I have done is attempt to defend science and correct misconceptions, which you appear to have many.kettle -> pot
I actually did not call you a troll. You might be paraphrasing. But then you'de only be justifying the very thing you quote me on.Yep, typical. A barrage of accusations calling me a troll and claiming I called you a moron when in fact I have done neither.
Actually. It's quite ON topic given that I'm pointing out the behavior similarities between you and the religious. Check it twice. This thread is NOT about evolution.Nice way to avoid the topic at hand and dodge the actual discussion.
The only similarity between myself and a creationist is that I don't buy your flawed logic set. It ends there because I'm NOT purporting an alternative. In fact, creation (purposeful or accidental) is the exact opposite of what I believe which is that in all probability there is no ultimate origin.You might not be a typical creationist but you sure act like one.
If my perception are 'misperceptions' simply because they choose not to sit in on your circle jerk of not-really-science then that's fine. Don't however, claim to defend science when all you've done is destroy evidence that contradicts your pre-made conclusions. That's not science, that's politics.The most I have done is attempt to defend science and correct misconceptions, which you appear to have many.
"YOU came along and trolled the fuck out of him."I actually did not call you a troll. You might be paraphrasing. But then you'de only be justifying the very thing you quote me on.
I'm not talking about the thread topic but if you are going to respond to my posts, at least have the courtesy to clarify your bullshit claims. The only thing you have done is make assertions about science and when I correct them, you avoid and continue to spew your lies. As I said, you can call evolutionary theory pseudo-science but that doesn't make it so and you have not presented anything to back up these assertions.Actually. It's quite ON topic given that I'm pointing out the behavior similarities between you and the religious. Check it twice. This thread is NOT about evolution.
Again, you claim flawed logic but do not explain why or how. Logic is like math, if mine is wrong, you should be able to logically expose it yet all you do is continue to whine about science and scientists.The only similarity between myself and a creationist is that I don't buy your flawed logic set.

What exactly did I destroy? Again with your unsupported assertions. As I said, I am well-versed in my field and can explain any misconceptions you have about biology, however you don't seem to be interested in that, you only appear to want to bash science. You are the one acting like a troll, offering accusations without support, merely to try to piss people off.If my perception are 'misperceptions' simply because they choose not to sit in on your circle jerk of not-really-science then that's fine.

That was a 'you' general, not you personally. As in 'evolutionists'.seems to me your memory is a bit faded.
Once again, Kettle->potI'm not talking about the thread topic but if you are going to respond to my posts, at least have the courtesy to clarify your bullshit claims.
""""The only thing you have done is make assertions about science and when I correct them, you avoid and continue to spew your lies.
But you are the one lacking evidence, not me.As I said, you can call evolutionary theory pseudo-science but that doesn't make it so and you have not presented anything to back up these assertions.
Reading comprehension fail?Again, you claim flawed logic but do not explain why or how.
I don't whine about science, but I don't dehumanize scientists either.Logic is like math, if mine is wrong, you should be able to logically expose it yet all you do is continue to whine about science and scientists.
Again you, general, sorry. Thought you read that the first time. Back to comprehension I guess?What exactly did I destroy?
Not science, just politics pretending to be 'science'.Again with your unsupported assertions. As I said, I am well-versed in my field and can explain any misconceptions you have about biology, however you don't seem to be interested in that, you only appear to want to bash science.
why is it all creationists/ denialists always fall back on some random factoid from the 19th century as if its got any context or meaning what so ever..Sorry, "Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles" jfgi
oh and heres me thinking it was nibiru/ reptillians happening in 2012...Same reason half the world is shitting in their pants over the LHC 2012.
LHC is set to go live 2012. You're the one bringing up reptilians and crqazy shit. And on that note. Far be it from me to be superstitious or anything. But it *MIGHT* just be a little wise to respect the predictions of an ancient culture with technological capabilities we don't know about but clearly knwo they had. JUst hold off till, you know, 2013 for shit's giggles, and peace of mind?lol you seriously brought 2012 into this discussion...
Some people get their morbid fascinations from nukes. I get might from black holes. If they hit those particles dead on there will only be the spin of the constituant particles. IF the spin on those particles is equal an opposite they'll need to offest it by less than atom width to generate spin or build the whole thing lopsided.you clearly has listened to nothing but ill informed hysteria about the lhc too
Against other scientists who have a vested interest in the field. You might read popular theories but you don't sound like you understand academic scientific circles very well. They'll stand by a bad theory or idea to the tune of eradicating things that prove them wrong or competitive scientists and research that might. Newbies on the field with 'wild' theories aren't given much creedence or respect and sometimes rightly so. But the threshold is so rediculously high that good shit has been discarded later only be given an 'oops, my bad'.your complaining about not being able to trust scientists who stand by their research and put it up to critique
I'm not parroting anyone. A black hole is a fucking black hole. What we do know about them is terrifying. We're only a decade over believing they actually exist. Do I think it'll be the end of the world? No. Odds are low. Odds. Sorry, I'm not a gambler.while parroting a far more abhorrent group of unqualified doom predictors

I'm smoked some of their DMT. I personally don't believe anything until I see and I'm still dubious but ah....yeah....I wouldn't be generating any black holes on 2012, personally. Fate's a bitch, what's cliche, tempting her? Asking for it?

Even if the observable universe were filled with monkeys the size of atoms typing from now until the heat death of the universe, their total probability to produce a single instance of Hamlet would still be many orders of magnitude less than one in 10*183,800
You forgot stupid. Smart people do stupid shit too. And your allusion is all to apt. There's nothing about being smart that makes you apt to be more responsible. Also, ego appeals don't have have to be lofty. The worst ego trap is job security.the way i am understanding your retoric is that,
scientists= men with super powers, and with great power comes great responsibility and with a margin of possibility to becoming "evil" and "immoral" or greedy.
Maybe not 'hands off' but did they really need to test TWO FUCKING THOUSAND? And if the hippies hadn't said HEY FUCKING STOP THAT SHIT....would they have?so when scientists aim to test their theories, and one just so happens to be nuclear bombs, they should have known better than to delve into such a thing because its "hands off"? now im not accusing you of saying just that but it sure seems that way.
The crows fly away. Seriously. Did you just suggest that my argument amounts to suggesting nuke would be better tested by cave men? LOLscientists will discover these things regardless whether you like it or not, and odds are somebody is going to test their hypothesis. if anyone could be trusted in today's world, it would be someone who precisely follows the scientific method and use our modern technology. to think that is comparable with some old civilizations, like the mayans or the aztecs, who had a grasp on astronomical timetables could even correlate to their claims on doomsday's or whatever ridiculous mythos they had, that is just.... bad and there is no other way to put it. and that is faulty logic if i have ever seen it written.
