The only noteworthy aspect of this edition is the absence of Pagano
and the temporary return of Spintronic. One of the reasons Spinny was
one of the few posters ever banned from TO is that he had a habit of
posting under multiple Nyms and when he came back he used at least
three. You can't make this junk up.

Google By Their Fruits to get the Biblical meaning of this thread. It
is only meant as a means of making it easier for anyone to use Google
to get as many posts as they can stand to read from these posters in
order to get an idea of the state of the religious anti-evolution
movement. They are a diverse group that have many views and you can't
pigeon hole all of them so one size does not fit all. We have a Hindu
creationist IDiot in Kalk, Nando/Syamsu follows the Koran, and Nyikos
is a Catholic church going self proclaimed agnostic disciple of Behe
etc. So there are all kinds and one definition isn't going to work.
Just being a creationist was never the problem. It is what these guys
do because of their religious beliefs that is the problem. I have
links to creationist sites in other By Their Fruits where those
creationists would not make the list.

I don't claim that these guys represent the entire range of the anti-
science/anti-evolution creationist movement. They are just the sample
that posts to TO and tries to defend the junk that failed the
Scientific Creationists over 25 years ago and the creationist
intelligent design scam that took the place of Scientific Creationism
around 20 years ago. I don't know how history is going to view the
IDiots that still support a stupid and dishonest creationists scam
that for the last decade has been running the bait and switch on their
own creationist support base. The ID perps never delivered the
intelligent design science that they claimed to have, and all the
creationists have ever gotten out of them is a switch scam that
doesn't even mention that ID ever existed. IDiots like Kalk just keep
going back to them as if they can trust the guys that have lied to
them about the ID scam. Sad but true.

So consider this list under those circumstances. The links are to the
Google posts. I purposely just take random posts from the last couple
of weeks of active threads and if the post is too over the top I pick
another so that I can't be accused of stacking the deck. You can look
up more of their posts by clicking on "view profile" by their name at
the top of the post.

It is likely a good idea for lurkers with similar views to first read
a sampling of the posts from these guys and the responses to get an
idea of what you might be getting into if you try to post.

There are links to past By Their Fruits threads and they contain links
to others.

Here is what "Honest" Ron Okimoto conveniently forgot to tell
everyone: All of the so called "Creationists" and "IDists" he mentions
accept conceptual existence of Darwin's main claims in nature: natural
selection, microevolution, macroevolution and common descent. Peter
Nyikos also accepts human evolution and space aliens responsible for
biological First Cause.

All of the "IDiots" (Ron's term) are in his bed.

Did Dr.Dr. Kleinman give up? Except for a rare check I stopped
following the 1000s of posts because almost every reply allowed him to
control the terms of the "debate." I recall only ~10 questions about
his "theory" and ~5 of them were from me.

Same goes for Anthony, though maybe less than 1000 posts. And
voweltroll may have froze to death in the Alps.

It's even worse than that. He says nothing about his "theory" because
he knows that the only thing *he* could think of would be assumptions,
wordplay, and story-telling.

Ray, all humans are apes, and remain apes. For that matter, all humans
are ultimately "Africans" as well.

You are "rejected as an idiot" because you keep writing idiotic things,
not because of your position on evolution.

Most readers can tell what I think from the two sentences above, and
thus don't have to ask. In fact I am *more* critical of those who
accept evolution and use words like "evolutionism," "Darwinism" and
"Darwinist(s)" than I am of those who deny (or pretend to deny)
evolution and use them.

I don't think the supreme being demands worship and I don't think he can

I do agree that theology can be abused easier than science, similarly
people can play head-games with any philopsophy with but science should

Conspiracy? Most of the guys on this list don't even want to
associate with themselves. If you mean the ID scam. I don't consider
it much of a conspiracy and call it what it actually is. It is just a
bogus scam. Are you going to contest that the guys that sold you the
teach ID scam are running the bait and switch on their own creationist
support base (that means you). How much ID science is in the switch
scam that they give the rubes instead of the wonderful ID science?
Why isn't ID even mentioned in the switch scam if it is being run by
the same guys that sold you the ID scam? Isn't that sad. I don't
consider it a scam for the bogus science that they pretend exists. It
is a scam for how they treat the creationist rubes that fell for it.
Did they ever have the ID science that they still claim to have? I've
never seen you put up a testable ID hypothesis that has actually been
tested and verified, so where is the ID science that they still lie to
you about?

What is sad is that since the last By Their Fruits you put up at least
three articles published on the web by the ID perps at the Discovery
Institute and were burned by all three instances. The last one was
stupid because all you had to do was to watch the video and know that
you were being lied to by the title that you put up. What is your
excuse for continuing to go back to the guys that you know lied to you
about intelligent design in order to continue to be lied to? I guess
a scam could be called a conspiracy, but you can only call a rube that
won't admit to the scam and continues to support the scam artists and
IDiot. I don't have much choice do I? Were you not the victim in
this scam, or did you know that there was never any ID science worth
teaching and go with it anyway? How long has the bait and switch been
going down? What happened to the rubes in Texas and Louisiana that
took the switch scam from the same guys that lied to them about the ID
scam and tried to implement it? Did the Discovery Institute support
their efforts? No in both cases. Really, guys as lost as you are
don't listen to the science side, but for some reason they will listen
to the scam artists when they tell the rubes that what they are doing
isn't such a good idea even if the scam artists sold them the bogus
idea in the first place.

Who has been the major factor in keeping intelligent design
creationism out of the public schools for the last decade? Who sent
representatives to kill the idea in Florida when around 9 county
school boards and multiple state legislators were claiming to want to
teach the science of intelligent design in the public schools. What
did the Discovery Institute representatives do in Florida? Did any ID
science get presented that could be taught? Didn't the bait and
switch go down again? Wasn't that around 7 or 8 years after the bait
and switch run on the Ohio State board of education? What has
happened in every such case where the rubes have bought into the ID
scam and wanted to teach it in the public schools? You are the IDiot
rube explain history. If you want to make it out to be a conspiracy
go for it.

The list is what it is. It is a list of all the posters currently
posting that support the anti-science side of the issue, the good, bad
and the ugly. Essentially, supporters of either the old scientific
creationist type claptrap or the intelligent design scam junk. I have
nothing to do with the fact that the good is mostly lacking. The
state of things is just what it is.

El lunes, 8 de octubre de 2012 12:54:26 UTC+1, Ron O escribi�:
Forgive me, dear Rony. I will present here another interpretation about
the presence of creationists in this site.


They all know perfectly that their position in regard to science and
evolution is worthless. But they are playing to act like they were
intelligent. It is a little like the boy that moves his
arms and body simulating his is an orchestra conductor.

They love to rub elbows with us, for they admire our independent mind,
ans how much we know of science. I exclude me of the example. Then,
their passport to rub elbows with us is to present religious arguments
against the ToE.
When I was thirty something, I used to frequent American tourists in bars
that had hidden in the Island to avoid be sent to the Viet Nam war.
They soon expended the check their parents sent to them each month.
Then passed most of their time in bars without a buck. Then, I
approached to them with the pretest to asking a grammatical question
about English, and then invited them to drink a few beers, and have
some sandwiches of ham and cheese. This way I made friends of them,
and could be beside them hearing their conversations. And sometimes
I could also chat a little with them.

I am sure these guys of the creationism love being in our company and
play at teasing our intelligence. I have the hypothesis that they
love our arguments.

They know perfectly well they cannot convince any of us of their
creationism. But they like to hear our replies. In a way, they
are like sharpening a little bit their own intelligence by coming
here to dispute with us.
They love to be around us. That is the reason why they are here.

So, I think we should play at being nicer hosts to them. If you
think deeper, they are flattering our intellect by coming here to
argue with us. But, at the same time, we are also flattering them
with our replies. We are showing them, to care of what they are
saying to the point of writing careful intelligent replies.

To me, all these bogus arguments about creationism, help me to
exercise my intelligence and to train the analytical part of my
brain. They serve me as well to avoid my brain to get trapped
by Alzheimer for lack of intellectual exercise .

Many of the creationist guys has so low IQ that to have them near
us can enhance our self-esteem. Or at least this is my case.

Then, even if sometimes we get a little irked reading their posts,
I think they are mostly a blessing, or we would not be here for
so long.

I hope you would not be irked you with my modest consideration
about this group.

In fact the ID perps and the Biblicals (mostly YEC peddlers) wish each
other would shut up and let them do all the talking. If anything, we
make an effective conspiracy for them, when we lump them all together
as "creationists." Sure, they have even more in common than most
people are aware of. Namely, a laundry list of long-refuted arguments
against evolution that use every trick of pseudoscience imaginable,
all wrapped in a radical, paranoid authoritarian worldview.
Ironically, the only way to truly appreciate those similarities is to
take a detailed look at their *differences* in apparent beliefs, and
their methods to peddle science-denial and paranoid worldviews.

Thanks. I was scarce much of that time because the new Google Groups
made reading and posting difficult. Somehow I was able to reload the
Old GG, so I'm back. In the meantime I have found other passtimes, so
my posting frequency will probably be intermediate. Ray will likely be
disappointed, and will be forced to finish his book. ;-)

Prawnster comes across as a parody of Nashton (with notes of others of
the resident creationists).

There's reason to think he's been around for a long time (under a
different nym? as a lurker?) or has made an extensive study of the group
archives.

Challenged.

Show us where you obtain the idea that Peter Nyikos is a Creationist?

Peter argues tooth-and-nail in behalf of the ToE, including human
evolution. Since you cannot support your claim you are engaged in
classic "axe-grinding." Peter is under skin. You are angry and beaten.

Now that Ron has made this ridiculous claim he must defend it to the
death because retraction is not an option that his ego can endure.

For the benefit of new readers, "creationist" is a catch-all word that
people use to describe evolution-deniers, be they people on the street
who innocently parrot misleading sound bites, career anti-evolution
activists or anything in between. I do not use that word for anyone,
but if I did, it would not be for Nyikos.

For the benefit of new readers, Ray is the only evolution-denier who
accused most (all?) other evolution-deniers of accepting evolution.
Peter is not under Ron's skin, nor is Ray. I might be though. Because
Ron has called *himself* a "creationist" - rendering the word worse
than worthless - and I like to bug him about it.

But he doesn't think "apes morphed into Africans over the course of
millions of years" whatever you mean by that. And the more you put
those words in the mouths of others, the more readers, Christian ones
included, will think you're an idiot.

You should at least give Ron O. credit for specifying at the time what
he meant by it.

Also, it might be useful to use (lower-case) creationist and
(upper-case) Creationist.

The evidence clearly shows that all human populations are a species of
ape, and that humans evolved over millions of years from a common
ancestor with our nearest ape relative. There is nothing odd or
controversial about thatnpfpinding.

Also Ray, all humans are "Africans", so why make a big deal about the
humans who are presently living there? The current populations
living in Africa are no more or less distant from the above mentioned
relatives. Why do you keep suggesting that its only the populations
currently living in Africa who have evolved?

Who is the "we" here, and its painfully clear that you are looking for
approval from others. The fact that you keep sabotaging yourself with
silly, unsupported, and badly thought out arguments is why you are
unable to convince anyone you are the genius you claim to be.

That you fail to win approval which you so obviously crave, is that
your position is wrongheaded from the get go.

Playing the sour grapes game over and over only makes you look like a
petulant fool.

Unles you propose the space aliens are robots instead of living things, they

"apes morphing ..." is your ridiculous way of referroing the the most
complex and thorughly studied scientific theory of this world. And you know
nothing about it. You are doing your best to stay ignorant. You have

Actually, humans are apes, so the phrase 'apes morphed in (I assume you meant
'into') Africans' is incorrect; Africans, and all other humans, are still
apes. Please note that last bit: _AFRICANS, AND ALL OTHER HUMANS, ARE STILL
APES_. Yes, I saw your attempt to make a racist statement. And, yes, you
missed. Because, well, the fact is that humans are apes.

Now, if you're insulted by the truth, and if you try to use the truth to say
something that it doesn't say, well, you have to be a bit better than this.

What's wrong with you, Ray-ray? Have you been associating too closely with
Peter N and some of his dishonesty is rubbing off on you?

Yes, the belief that apes evolved into Africans over the course of
millions of years is gutter racism masquerading as science. The idea
was put forth by a very rich white Englishman (Charles Darwin) who
thought he was superior and special.

No, it's part of the essence of the arguments of Ron O. The essence
also includes deciding that someone is a creationist, by definining
"creationist" to mean "anyone who believes in the existence of a
supernatural creator of something (perhaps the universe, perhaps just
the postulated souls of the elect)".

Where the essence really gets nasty is when Ron O decides, for reasons
he never divulges, that someone like me fits that description, and
then takes every denial that I fit it -- and I've made many denials of
that -- as "proof" that I am a habitual liar.

The essence gets even nastier when he spouts the Pee Wee Hermanism
"Projection is a way of life for ____" and then takes accusations of
wrongdoing by him, Ron O, as an ADMISSION by ____________, the person
making that accusation, that the person himself is guilty of that very
wrongdoing.

Sound farfetched? Here is the url for the post where Ron O did just
that:
http://groups.google.com/group/talk.origins/msg/60419d9c6317c0b3

and here is the post where I showed, by multiple *reductio ad

did along the above lines:

And other white rich British forged, or kept believing in long after
it was debunked, Piltdown man because the English woudl have much much
preferred to prove that _we_ are the cradle of mankind, not the
Africans.
"Being the first at something" is generally something people tend to
be proud of, just as modern Greeks are immensely proud of being the
first to have evolved democratic systems of government, or the Chinese
for being the first to invent writing. Often, countries fight over the
claim who was the first to do something. Only in your confused mind is
there a slight attached to the idea that the human mind and human
intelligence kick started in Africa.

In fact, promoting the Biblical claim that human life started in the
middle east, even after the ToE proved otherwise, is seen by many
Africans as a lie intended to undermine their identity and their pride
by white Americans:

From an black activist website :

"Not only is the black race cursed but we are given a fictitious
account of history; because of science and archeology we know that
black people were the first ones on earth, so this biblical story puts
the white man in the
first place while introducing the black man under some despicable
circumstances." {...} "That story give an alibi (or justification)
for the invasion of
Canaan. It is the first step to curse black people and to falsify
their
history, the second is no other than the myth of Hebrews enslaved in
Egypt."

http://www.afrostyly.com/uk-us/afro/diverse/curse_of_ham.htm

Here another two typical quotes for "afrocentrism" and how the "Out of
Africa" theory is used to sustain black pride:

"It should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway: all of the
significant evolution in our species occurred in populations with
brown and black skins living in Africa. When language, music, and art
evolved, they evolved in Africans. Lighter skins evolved in some
European and Asian populations long after the human mind evolved its
present capacities. "

"The skin color of our ancestors does not have much scientific
importance. But it does have a political importance given the
persistence of anti-black racism. I think that a powerful antidote to
such racism is the realization that the human mind is a product of
black African females favoring intelligence, kindness, creativity, and
articulate language in black African males, and vice versa.
Afrocentrism is an appropriate attitude to take when we are thinking
about human evolution. We all come from Africa: our ancestors were
black. Whiteness is of little biological
importance, but according to Miller, kindness was"

Human Rights, and Law. p110)

You may not know the half of it. See my reply to Boikat a few minutes
ago.

By the way, there are several regulars who tease me about the fact
that I made a few lists of people back in 1995-2001, but conveniently
omit any hint that I haven't posted any since then, and make it sound
like it was a deep flaw in my character that I posted them.

I'm not sure how many of them are posting to this thread, but at least
one of them is. And, of course, that person is perfectly OK with Ron
O posting lists every few months, as is every other participant on
this thread who is not on Ron O's lists.

Since I am not anti-evolution, you can cross my name off that list.

But you are too dishonest and consumed with hate for me to do that,

But that's NOT the same as saying that I believe that there is a life
after death and a benevolent God in charge of it, much as you love to
pretend that this is true.

I regularly correct people's false claims about him. If that makes

I'd even correct people who make false claims about YOU. But then,
the reality of you is far uglier than any false claim a person of
average creativity could even consider about you. See my reply to
Boikat on this thread less than an hour ago.

I only defend my own theory of intelligent design by panspermists that
are no more "creators" than you or me. I've yet to see a so-called
"Scientific Creationist" endorse that theory.

Yes, lurkers, if you dare to ask for genuine evidence of the "bait"
part of what Ron O calls the "bait and switch scam" that is still
"going down," the post I documented in reply to Boikat is a sample of
what you might be getting into.

That's a real beauty you picked out, one that lays bare on highly
revealing facet of Paul Gans's many-faceted character.

Gans hasn't posted to this thread of yours so far, Ron O. For one
possible reason why that may be true, a hint can be found in my reply
to Kalkidas earlier today to this thread.

And, real old-timers like Hemidactylus just might get the following

Only because I am making your challenge mine, and I thus challenge Ron
O to say where he obtained the idea the I am a creationist EVEN
ACCORDING TO HIS BROAD DEFINITION OF "CREATIONIST".

As you know, Ron O, in a classic case of the pot calling the kettle
black, has pronounced you insane, and has used this allegation as his
basis for ignoring you whenever he wants to ignore you.

And this is one issue on which he can be counted on to ignore you, and
thus salvage his ego without even looking foolish for doing so.

I am far, far deeper under Ron O's skin than it is healthy for anyone
to be under his skin.

And why on earth do you think YOU are under Ron O's skin? Has he
slapped crud on unanswerable accusations of yours, and accused you of
"running away" because you thought his crud too ridiculous to be worth
addressing? Has he accused you hundreds of times of lying and when
you deny you lied, accused you of lying about lying? Has he repeated
assertions that you had already refuted, and then claimed that if you
could refute them, you would do so in a heartbeat?

He has done all that and much more to me.

> Because

And it all goes like water off a duck's back, I would guess. [Have
you ever gotten a reply from him that suggests otherwise?]

The reason for my guess is that I believe that Ron O is running a
scam.

I believe he calls himself a creationist to lure people into admitting
that they fit under HIS very expansive definition, and then they are
saddled forever with explaining to people who dislike/despise
creationists *sensu* the talk.origins FAQ that they aren't THOSE kinds
of creationists.

Fortunately, I don't even fit under his definition, so there was never
any danger of me falling for that kind of scam.

I've seen several such times, but they are outnumbered by the number
of times Ron O has falsely accused me of being a creationist on the
false grounds that I did not know what HE meant by creationist. Fact
is, I knew it way back in the first month (December 2010) in which I
encountered him, and still I can state that I do not fit his
definition.

Robots designing life to be sent to earth? Not impossible, but then I
would say that those robots were designed by "flesh and blood"
panspermists to take care of the design of earth life.

By "flesh and blood" I simply mean intelligent species evolved
biologically from prebiotic soup on their planet, by my hypothesis. I
don't think it likely that the panspermists who are responsible for
seeding earth were themselves the result of evolution via panspermia,
because our universe doesn't seem old enough to make that likely.

Again, Ray, your being perceived as a fool has nothing to do with what I
believe. Even though evolution is not the "atheist view of life".
Even if it was, that's hardly the issue. It's your behavior, Ray, not
my personal religious or scientific opinions that makes you appear
foolish.

For someone who keeps trying to invoke logic, you certainly are enamored
of the logical fallacy of ad hominem (among other logical fallacies)

What makes you assume that either Peter, Rolf, or Ron believe the
"material created the immaterial"? Why can't the immaterial exist
beyond the material. If it can, why does the material have to exist
first?

But Ray, you are the one who keeps promoting impossible, and ridiculous
beliefs. When has anyone seen a clay sculpture come to life? How
possible is it for a global flood to happen, and leave no evidence?

You are the one who proposes that "superintelligent" Neanderthals
from Atlantis (where the eels still like to gather), built the Pyramids,
and the town of London, England was named after the Biblical patriarch
Dan. How more ridiculous can one get?

I don't recall if Rolf has claimed to be an atheist, but neither Ron, or
Peter are atheists. They simply disagree with you. You are not God,
Ray. Your will not be done.

You've never explained how this is "gutter racism" when it's not just
the "Africans" who have evolved from apes, but all humans. We are all
ultimately Africans by descent.

This idea also applied to that very rich white Englishman. It makes him

This is an extermely rare situation where a genuine Creationist (Ray
Martinez) and a genuine Darwinist (Peter Nyikos) are rightfully
blasting another genuine Darwinist (Ron Okimoto) for lying. Ron
Okimoto will never show his face and answer the challenge to his
claim. He is angry that you dare say one objective word that helps the
Creationist cause----that's where he obtains the "idea" (= slander).
He and his kind (like J.J. O'Shea and Dana Tweedy) are so used to
lying as a way of life. Ron feels lying is justified based on the need
to erase Creationism off the face of the Earth. Ron Okimoto is like
most other Darwinists: a brazen liar. He deliberately misrepresents
ALL anti-evolution literature for the reason given, just like his
lying hero, pseudo-Christian Judge Jones.

Like Atheist-Evolutionist Immanuel Velikovsky, you will pay the price
for speaking the truth until the day you die, Peter.

Leave it to the ultimate lying hyprocrite (Ron Okimoto) to create a
monthly topic based on a Biblical quote-mine (By Their Fruits).

> As you know, Ron O, in a classic case of the pot calling the kettle

Yes, "Christian" Ron Okimoto has pronounced me insane. I am not the
least bit insulted to be held insane by a "Christian" who stands with
Richard Dawkins, instead of the Bible, in regard to the origin of
species and life.

< ....and has used this allegation as his

The real reason Ron ignores me is because he can't get any
satisfaction in debate . I am smarter than him and he knows it----
that's the real reason which he cannot admit.

Like ID traitor Kalkidas, Ron is a coward.

Both are afraid of me.

But let's not lose track of the fact that Ron Okimoto symbolizes 99
percent of all other Darwinists (liars for Charlie).

As you know, many self-described creationists - as in Biblical
literalists, not TEs like Ron - also say they're not anti-evolution,
then pull the "micro/macro" thing. Without telling where "micro"
leaves off or what the alternative to "macro" is, of couse.

Refresh my memory, do you accept common descent at least in the sense
of "something other than 'RM+NS' occurring in-vivo"?

An attempt to obscure the fact that Darwin and the ToE say it is a
fact that apes first became humans in Africa.

Our Darwinist does see the obvious gutter racism.

Why would anyone feel any insult in being called an idiot by persons
who think humans are apes?

This is what happens when one comes to accept the theory of evolution:

It is the position of mainstream Creationism that human evolution is a
self-evident racist doctrine made necessary by the rejection of God as
Creator of Adam and Eve.

in the gutter advancing apes to have evolved into Africans while

Read up on the "Curse of Ham" and ask Ray to explain it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_Ham

There's plenty in the bible that can be used to justify racism. The New
Testament has helped justify antisemitism.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_antisemitism#New_Testament_rejection_of_Judaism

If anything the bible gives its readers recipes for outgrouping, as Ray
has done above, painting ugly pictures of the Other, the ones not like
us in their beliefs. It is not a source of peaceful or truly
universalizing thoughts.

Human evolution gives us an account of how different human groups came
to be in their respective geographic locations. It also helps us
understand why humans have tendencies toward cliquey ingroup
orientation. It does not tell us how we should act towards Others though.

I don't hate Ray, or consider Ray an enemy, and I have never

is more than enough to show how silly Ray's claims may be. Also, I've
refuted everything Ray claims.


Here's where Ray makes the claim that the pyramids were built by
superintelligent neanderthals from Atlantis:

It is interesting, though, to see Ray admit here that *he* does

that Ray is indirectly admitting he can't refute what I have said.

I am an ape who wasn't born in Africa, unlike the Moroccans and

Ray, all humans are apes, and all humans are ultimately Africans. Why
do you keep suggesting that people who presently live in Africa are
separate, or different from other humans?

You also have never addressed what significant differences you see
between humans and other ape species. You have implied you find "light
skinned" humans to be more attractive than other humans, but that's not
a significant difference, or indicates that "light skinned" humans are
any less apish. One might find hummingbirds to be more attractive than
ostriches, but they are both still birds

And not on its technical merits, but simply on its style.

Other poster reply to him far more often than I do. So why don't you

It has been stated in this newsgroup that a method to discourage Lokis

You even run away from claiming that the claims are false when they
are not? Remember Astrology? Who claimed that the evidence didn't
exist and who ran? Who came back and still tried to defend the IC
claptrap?

You lie a lot. That is a given. What your "corrections" are tells a
lot about the jerk that you are. Just go back to the Feb By Their
Fruits thread and defend your actions. You did so many things wrong
that you really are pathetic. Who even deleted a post instead of face
what a dishonest liar he was?

Do you want me to give an historical outline of what you did?

What did you snip out in order to prevaricate about what I wrote? You
didn't even mark your snip. Doesn't most of the rest of the paragraph
apply to you?

Was I trying to present evidence for anything? Do you want me to do
an historical evaluation of the Feb By Their Fruits thread? What
about a general summary of how you have debased yourself to defend the
intelligent design bait and switch scam? Do you realize what it means
when you are the only one to ever deny that it is going down? What
will happen to the next group of rubes that want to teach the science
of intelligent design in the public schools? What has happened in
every such case? Who sold them the Teach ID scam? Remember the Legal
Journal article? Remember the book? You were posting on TO when the
ID perps were running the teach ID scam full tilt in the late 1990's.
Where did Santorum get the idea that ID could be taught in the public
schools? You were still posting then. Remember the No Child Left
Behind fiasco? Look up the date of that.

Poor Nyikos has to lie to himself about the stupidest things. Even
the ID perps do not deny that they sold the rubes the teach ID scam.
Nyikos never put up a single piece of evidence to support his
contentions. Not one. What should that tell him? Denial is stupid
and crazy at this time.

Why should I have to read your post to Boikat? Do you understand what
a jerk you are. Nothing left but a twitching sphincter, and all that
is coming out is crap. If you have some beef post it to me and not
behind my back to other posters.

Just think of the sicko that would laugh when he should be crying, and
he wonders why he is on the list while prevaricating about being a
disciple of Behe and defending the ID scam. What gets me is that
there is no doubt in my mind that Nyikos belongs on this list because
he was one of the first IDiot rubes (before the term IDiot existed)
over a decade ago before he stopped posting to TO for a while. This
was when the ID perps at the Discovery Institute were still claiming
that ID was "their business" before the bait and switch started to go
down in 2002.

Ray, how does stating clearly that all humans are African "obscure" the
fact that all humans come from Africa? Darwin predicted that the
earliest evidence of humans would be found in Africa because that's
where humans' closest relatives live. Darwin was found to be correct.
The theory of evolution itself does not specify where human ancestors
came from, but the evidence indicates that humans originated in Africa.

No, I don't see any "gutter racism" at all here. You still have not
explained why African origin of humans is "gutter racism".

Because humans are apes. Also, your idiocy is a consequence of your

Since humans are apes, what is "deluded" about thinking they are?

All humans are ultimately Africans, Ray. No one, except creationists,
claim that Africans are a separate group from the rest of humanity. So,
considering that I myself am an African,(several tens of thousand years
removed) why is it racist to believe my own ancestors were apes, and
monkeys?

This is a good example of your dishonesty. This is what you need to
stop if you are to expect people to stop considering you dishonest.

Note too that Ray uses the terms 'self evident' to signal he can't
defend his claim.

All humans are apes, and all humans are Africans. How does it become
"gutter racism" to acknowledge the truth, that all populations are
equally related to our ape cousins?

Besides, I'm not an atheist. Atheists have many choices, but it doesn't
matter to me. I accept evolution because it's the best scientific
explanation for the evidence.

Nyikos indicated that he had done some bogus junk in a post to Boikat
so I came up to look and found this.

Nyikos knows that I got my definition from the Random House
dictionary. A creationist is simply someone that believes in a
creator, usually for religious reasons. The example given was one
that believes in a creator for their immortal soul, and Nyikos just
admitted to that below.

QUOTE:
> Nyikos is a Catholic church

member, due to a hope that there is a life after death and a
benevolent God in charge of it, and a belief that the Catholic Church
is the best hope for keeping that hope from being completely
extinguished in the human race.
END QUOTE:

He claims hope instead of belief, but for a nutcase like Nyikos that
has to lie to himself about the stupidest things that obviously does
not matter.

I have even claimed that being a creationist isn't the important
criteria for getting on this list. It is the bogus junk that gets
done because these guys are creationists that get them on the list.
There are a lot of creationists on TO that do not make the list. Who
is in denial about the ID scam? Who is a Behe disciple? I even admit
to being a creationist. Nyikos has known all of this for over a year
and he still has to lie.

Are you referring to how you prevaricated about being a creationist
for over a year before claiming to be an agnostic? How agnostic are
you when you admit to going to church and hope for a life after death
depending on your immortal soul created by your intelligent designer?

Projection is just a way of life for Nyikos. I do not get why he does
it, but it is supposed to be some kind of defense mechanism. It just
seems like self flagellation to to me because he has to confront all
the bogus things that he does when he lies about other people doing
what he is guilty of.

This is Nyikos' documentation? Nyikos has to self evaluate the Feb By
Their Fruits thread that he links to. As sad as it may seem Nyikos
links to a side thread he created with his bogus title changes to be
"saddistic" and he can't even tell what he is doing. He only started
the side thread because he couldn't face what he was running from in
other parts of the thread, and had to be nasty about it. Not only
that, but he obviously created the side thread to make fun of someone
else. Not only that, but to do it he made up a story about Google and
made claims that did not apply to what he was talking about. All in
order to claim that someone else was doing something wrong. You can't
make this junk up.

Nyikos what was not saddistic about your starting that side thread?
What was not saddistic about making up the google story and pretending
to laugh at someone else that had done nothing worth laughing at?
Face it, you made up the Google story. Where did I encounter the
"read more" statement? That is so sad that I don't even know why you
would even go back to your bogus deeds as if they had some legitimacy.

You should have just faced what you were running from instead of start
that side thread. How many months did it take you to finally lie
about being an agnostic after starting the bogus side thread? The sad
thing is that if you had just come clean you wouldn't have had to
start the side thread or get caught in all the dishonest prevarication
and stupidity like you deleting a bogus post instead of face what you
had done. All that just in that one thread.

Projection is just a way of life for Nyikos. How sane is that? What
was the basis for the "saddistic" claim? Who projected his sad
behavior onto someone else? Who has a problem with projection? Why
didn't you put up the post where you started a whole thread to claim
that I was running from one post when who was running from dozens by
his own definition of running? You can't deny that projection is a
way of life for you. Your dishonest projection is what gets you into
most of your troubles. Who was the dirty debater? Who had the insane
logic? What was the Scottish verdict on Nyikos? All projection.
Instead of lie to yourself self-evaluate what you have done.

That seems like a silly way to discourage lokis, as it would seem to
give them exactly what they want. Who has stated such a thing? I reply
to lokis seriously only if I'm not sure they're really lokis, and that
isn't a tactic. The way to discourage them is to ignore them. Humorous
replies may encourage also, but at least you're in on the joke.

Again, not an argument. I asked a question because I was interested in

What about your acceptance, defence and promotion of an Islamic view of
nature (occasionalism)? Or does guilt by association only apply to other
people?

I should have given you credit as well, as you make the point most
often among those who do.

Really? Is that why you phrased your question to emphasize naive or
thoughtless intent?

Sorry, I don't wear well the collar of a god's chosen people.

Then it depends on what you infer to be the intent of Lokis.
Hopefully, you allow other people to have opinions different than
yours.


>Who has stated such a thing?


I don't care to look it up at the moment. Nor do I care if you don't
believe it.


>I reply

Then you and I have different meanings of 'tactic'.


>The way to discourage them is to ignore them.


That is another way. Hopefully, you recognize it isn't the *only*
way. More to the point, I don't really care if it discourages them or
not. It is my choice to reply or not, as I choose or not, without
regard to what you might think of my choice or my reply.


>Humorous
>replies may encourage also, but at least you're in on the joke.


Which is fine if your intent is to make it obvious you are in on the
joke. But if the joke is so obvious, I see no point in boasting about
that.

It is my experience that people who ask that kind of question in that
way aren't interested in any answer I can provide. Your post helps to
confirm my experience.


>Would you mind answering?


Your implication notwithstanding, I already did. If you don't like my
answer, or even if you don't understand it, then please seek an answer
that suits you elsewhere, as I suggested before.

I see no legitimate purpose to your question as you phrased it, or to
continuing this thread as you have.
