Okimoto has asserted in a recent thread starter that all creationists
are anti-science. But can he prove it? Let's see this blow hard
actually produce quotes with links to the quotes in context that prove
that creationists in general are anti-science.

I seriously doubt he could prove that a lone creationist in the forum
was anti-science.

Beginning tomorrow I'll start the usual 7 day count down to watch him
run. He's nothing but a coward who is full of hot air.

He won't do it. After all people who claim that abiogenesis is true
yet can't prove it, yet expect us to believe it, aren't likely to
illustrate the rules of logic and knowledge properly.

What is a shame is that Pags covered the clergy letter project in his
response to that thread and should known that I was not claiming that
all creationists were anti-science. So why the lie to start this
thread?

Since I never made the claim there is nothing for me to prove.

This is probably why the dishonesty is perpetuated. The bogus lies

Biblearcheology likely didn't even check to see if Pags had a point or

Their 'science' is, at best, superficial. When they are more
interested in supporting an a-priori belief they are far more likely
to selectively choose what science to promote, no matter how bad, and
what science to reject, no matter how sound.

This can clearly be seen with your own defense of Geocentrism, where
you continue to try and push 19th century science as it pertains to a
non-existent luminiferous aether and where you repeatedly reject
multiple consequences of Newtonian physics when it just doesn't suit
you.

> But can he prove it?

Have you even read any of the many rebuttals to your own defense of
Geocentrism?

You still haven't come up with a *credible* explanation for the
existence of geostationary satellites or why there are distinct
advantages to eastward rocket launches, just to name a few
discrepancies with this long-ago rejected model.

You continue to miss the gravity of the situation.

>Let's see this blow hard

I particularly enjoyed your recent focus on evidence that, in your own
words, does not distinguish between the geocentric and heliocentric
models while pointedly ignoring evidence that actually does
distinguish between the two.

It is not exactly *anti*-science (your term) but it certainly is the
basis for *bad* science. You certainly do reject a lot of good stuff
that just doesn't support your a-priori positions.

>I seriously doubt he could prove that a lone creationist in the forum

Again, 'anti-science' is your term. You certainly are, at best,
incompetent with the subject.

>Beginning tomorrow I'll start the usual 7 day count down to watch him
>run. He's nothing but a coward who is full of hot air.

So what does that make you? You have repeatedly been challenged to
explain the existence of geostationary satellites, just to name one of
many issues that you continue to duck.

How about coming up with evidence that actually supports the
*existence* of a luminiferous aether to start with. You certainly do
rely on the *assumption* of one in a number of your own arguments.

Or are you just "nothing but a coward who is full of hot air"?

Apparently Okimoto never actually bothered to read the link he offered
to the discussion of the Clergy Letter
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clergy_Letter_Project). While the
co-signers to the Clergy Letter are (apparently) faithful followers of
some religious creed, they are NOT identified as creationist. The
Clergy Letter, more or less, says that undersigned accept that purely
naturalistic evolutionism does not conflict with their creed.

One cannot sign this letter and at the same time be creationist. They
are obviously inconsistent positions. Apparently the academic
blowhard failed to pass Philosophy of Logic 101 in his undergraduate
career.

Here Okimoto makes a couple of logical errors.

First he implies that "religiously-minded" folk are also creationists.
I attribute this illogic to Okimoto since the Clergy Letter only
identifies its co-signers as faithful religious believers. Since
Okimoto claims (at least at one time) to be Methodist. Does that mean
he is also a creationist?

Second Okimoto implies that the co-signers of the Clergy Letter are
both creationist and good-science-minded-folk. Yet the Clergy Letter
only identifies its co-signers as religious believers. And the Clergy
Letter states unequivocally that the co-signers accept that purely
naturalistic evolution is the best available theory and that they see
no conflict between the theory and their Faith. This is diametrically
opposed to creationism. So one cannot be a co-signer to the Clergy
Letter and also be a creationist.


The "list" that Okimoto refers to in his quote is his list of
anti-science posters in the forum. So Okimoto states that unless all
creationists in the forum (and else where) follow the lead of the
Clergy Letter co-signers and accept evolutionsm then they are ipso
facto anti science.


I'm going to give this blow hard seven days to prove that any
creationist is anti-science. Let's watch this blowhard-coward run.

Okimoto rarely can produce a logical argument which is why Nyikos

I have claimed to be a creationists before. Pags is just ignorant or
is lying again. What do you think Methodists are? Pags doesn't deny
that he is a creationist and he is supposed to be Catholic. I don't
know why he thinks that it would be different for other Christians or
the Clergy that signed the clergy letter project.

Beats me where you get this. You could make the case before you make
the stupid claims, but getting the fact wrong seems to be all that you
can do when you know that you were wrong about the creationist thing
and all that you can do is this? What is this? How plain and simple
does the quote about the clergy letter project have to be? Can't you
read?

Here it is again just for you. Make up whatever you want, but you
have to know that you are just making it up.

Who was talking about logic? There aren't just two sets here. What

I'll give you 7 days to retract all your bogus lies and then see if I
will respond or not. Poor Nyikos can't get any peace even when he is
MIA. Why should you make all the demands when you are obviously the
liar?

Anti-science from the guy that could be a poster child for anti-
science. Pags, describe how you are not anti-science again. It was a
laugher the first time that you did it. Have you improved the
delivery? Make sure that you list all the bad things about why all
the scientists are wrong about biological evolution and why your
notions are better and not anti-science.

I should have saved that post somehow. You'd be a liar if you claim
that you did not refute yourself within the post that you were
claiming to not be anti-science. You should try to find that post and
demonstrate that I am wrong about it. Wouldn't it be nice if you
could throw it in my face and demonstrate that it wasn't what I
claim? Go for it. I'd help you find it, but I can't recall how many
years ago it was. Could be more than 5 years ago.

Doesn't matter. Okimoto has already won -- he replied that your
premise, your claim that he even made the (reasonable) assertion that
all Creationists are anti-science, is false, and by ignoring that
devastating rebuttal you lose your own challenge.

Your habit of calling other people cowards is quite peculiar. As you

Classic example of question begging. Where is the announcement paper
and Nobel Prize for the authors? Why does abiogenesis "research"
continue today unabated?

The reason why abiogenesis is unsolvable is because only life can
beget life. The refusal of Darwinists to acknowledge only testifies to
their dishonesty and the pro-Atheism nature of evolution. Even ToE has
life always a component in producing life. When the animate is
removed, end of story. Abiogenesis remains in the exact same position
as it was in the 19th century----but only worse off since the
discovery of cellular complexity.

Since Tony (an atheistic Creationist) accepts conceptual existence of

nature, his claim that you conclude all Creationists to be anti-
science, is falsified.

You should have read the next sentence. Raven's point is that both
scientific research and the Genesis account describe abiogenesis - in
the case of the latter
something not alive, a-bios, the clay, became something alive. At
least in the judeo-chrisitian tradition, there was a point when there
was no life (apart, possibly, from God though he does not really fit
the definition of alive that biology uses, and God created life
therefore from non-life, an abiogenetic event.

Raven is of course not quite right, as there are models possible, and
indeed promoted by some religions, where life existed always

Because even if we can prove that it took place, how it took place is
another matter?

True. That's because the ToE has nothing to do really with abiogenesis
and its result are entirely independent of any insights that might
come from abiogenesis research

Abiogenesis research has made quote considerable progress, both in
terms of developing an dtesting possible models of how life on earth
originated on the past, and how life can be created from scratch now.

If you need to get up to date with the considerable body of research
you could do worse than this for further reading:

Because scientists would like to know how it happened. That it happened
is known.

Which flies in the face of your claim that a supernatural being produced
life.

Actually, "Darwinists" do acknowledge that life today comes from pre
existing life. You, Ray are the one trying to claim that life is
created de novo by a supernatural being.

Unlike creationism.

Note, Ray, that you are the one who claims that species are manufactured
from inanimate "clay like ground" by a supernatural being.

Actually, the study of abiogenesis is much farther along today than it
was in the 19th century. Cellular complexity is not a problem for
modern studies of abiogenesis, as no one claims that the modern cell
suddenly, or randomly assembled. You seem confused as to the status of
modern ideas about abiogenesis.

Classic example of lack of reading comprehension.

Where in "life exists" do you see "because it was created by humans."?

Abiogenesis happened at least once *by definition*

Let the trolls like "bible" (who reminds me of voweltroll) bait-and-
switch between the fact of abiogenesis and the theory (that doesn't
yet exist) and get busy with your book.

You may lie to yourself about the title, but when adman figured out
what the title really meant he went bonkers (more bonkers than
usual). I don't expect you to understand the meaning of the title
becasue you do not have a Biblical background, but you might Google it
to see what you get. We are talking about a legacy, but it isn't
mine.

Idiot. Natural selection is not a thing, no something that exist! It is an
abbreviated and accepted form of referring to some unavoidable facts we
observe in nature. Nothing special about it. It is as simple as you
selecting socks from a drawer. You don't wear a red sock on one foot and a
blue on the other, do you?

If an island drifts of from a continent with all it's inhabitants, we say
that they have been naturally selected. We find that after a time several
will have undergone changes consistent with the changes in climate,
competition, food sources and so on. The effect and result of their being
selected by the process of becoming isolated, and experiencing changes in
living conditions is evolutionary change, adaptation to the envireonment in
the struggle for survival, to live and reproduce.

Now tell us what is wrong with that.

Ray, you do understand that the Genesis creation story with Adam being
formed from the dust of the Earth is abiogenesis, don't you?

Unless you bait-and-switch definitions. Which is one of the essential
tactics of anti-evolution activism. If t were up to me I'd only use
the word "creationist" for anyone who *deliberately* uses such tactics
- along with playing favorites with evidence, quote mining, baiting-
and-switching concepts (e.g abiogenesis with evolution, the fact of
either vs. its theory, etc.).

Ron has me concerned because he's using the word for people who don't
even *innocently* use those tactics. People who are on *our side* in
the science-pseudoscience battle.

On Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:47:55 -0700, the following appeared
in talk.origins, posted by Kalkidas <e...@joes.pub>:
You mean the epithets such as "blow hard" and "coward who is

when he gets caught out; he ignores all responses until the
Big Day, then declares victory and runs away.

For what? Tony was apparently born with those traits.

Yep. Creationism is an anti-science philosphy because it presupposes
that accounts
of the origin of life, of history, and of the nature of the universe
are tacitly true, without
regard for scientific evidence. Hence, creationism is "anti-science'
if you are a
"creation-ist" then you are a proponent of anti-science.

But of course, you will either ignore what I have just written or
barefacedly lie about it,
as you do with most rational responses to your rants.

Strictly speaking, that's true, but we both know that he is misusing
or misunderstanding the word "abiogenesis". He means, of course, that
it is some failing on our part to believe that abiogenesis is a
*natural process, with several proposed mechanisms, and an end result
(life) which shows no sign on unnatural processes; rather than a
*magical event, which completely lacks any evidence whatsoever, and
has no falsifiable models to explain it.

Our kid just moved back in at age 24 - can't find work with a new BS.
At least she's more self-maintenance now.
