    All the ID perps seem to want to discuss is denial. Is there anything
    left about the ID scam that any ex IDiots, who dropped out of the ID
    scam when the Top Six were given to them, think is still worth
    discussing. There is still the second rate creationist denial that
    didn't make it into the Top Six, and creationists like Tour and MarkE
    still think that it is worth lying to themselves about individual topics

    This has been known for over 2 decades, but for over 15 years most of
    the IDiotic creationists that continued to post on TO ignored that fact.
    No one has ever gotten the ID science to teach in the public schools
    even though the ID scam started out claiming that they had ID science
    that could be taught in the public schools. The ID perps never produced
    a public school lesson plan even though they have continued to claim to
    be able to teach the ID science in the public schools for decades. No
    one knows what would be taught if anyone ever teaches what they claim as
    ID science. The reason seems to be that no one would want to teach the
    Top Six, and if you aren't going to teach the best evidence why would
    you teach anything at all? The Big Bang (#1) has already been a science
    topic that IDiotic type creationists have wanted to drop from the public
    school science standards, and they succeeded in Kansas in 1999. So the
    ID perps knew that they didn't want to teach the ID scam in the public
    schools years before they started to run the bait and switch in 2002.

    The bait and switch scam that the ID scam turned into, and the loss in
    Dover hasn't made any IDiots demand to see the ID science. Most of the
    IDiots were satisfied to keep lying to themselves with the Gap denial
    until the Top Six came out. The ID perps are still claiming creationist support. They have subsequently put the Top Six out with the gaps out
    of order and dropped #4 (IC) and #5 (the Cambrian explosion). The last
    article on the Top Six dropped the Big Bang (#1) and made it the Top 5
    by splitting #2 (fine tuning) into two parts and Human evolution (#6)
    into two parts. Even some of the ID perps couldn't stand the Top Six as
    they were presented to the rubes back in Nov. 2017.

    Nelson was an ID perp from the start, and he was the only one that kept claiming that they didn't yet have the ID science, but that they were
    working on producing some. The reason turns out that Nelson was YEC and couldn't stand what the other ID perps were claiming as the ID science.
    There is absolutely no room for the existence of any YEC creationists
    within the Top Six provided in "their order simply reflecting that in
    which they must logically have occurred within our universe." The Big
    Tent that they sold the creationist rubes was a Big Lie. Luskin was
    probably the editor responsible for the Top Six, and the rubes were
    warned when Luskin came back to the ID scam claiming that he had gotten
    a PhD working on sedimentary rocks that were nearly 3 billion years old.
    What is sad is that the majority of creationist support for the ID
    scam are likely still YEC after over 2 decades of the bait and switch
    going down on any creationist rubes still stupid enough to want to teach
    the junk.

    That seems to be the major reason that no ID perps seem to want to use
    the Top Six in any constructive or positive way. They are the same god-of-the-gaps junk that the Scientific creationists resorted to when
    they figured out that there wasn't any creation science that they wanted
    to accomplish, but they have never been used to build anything that the creationists are willing to support. Even the Reason to Believe IDiots
    have to deny the origin of life and Cambrian explosion gap denial
    because they don't fit into the Biblical timeline. They haven't managed
    to reinterpret enough of the Bible to make them fit. There isn't any
    billions of years of the existence of microbial life before land plants
    were created, before sea creatures, and whales need to be created before
    their terrestrial ancestors existed because the Reason to Believe
    creationists believe that whales were included among the sea creatures
    that were created before terrestrial animals. It is denial of the denial.

    Bill, Pagano, and Kalk couldn't keep using the Top Six to lie to
    themselves. Pagano claimed that the Top Six were bogus (They are not consistent with his geocentric old earth Biblical universe). Bill
    claimed that he had never supported the ID scam, but what he likely
    meant was that he had never supported what the ID scam had always been.
    Now Kalk is claiming that he just is no longer interested in the Top
    Six. ID perps like Sewell had to drop IC and the Cambrian explosion out
    of the Top Six and present the rest out of order, and Miller dropped out
    the Big Bang.

    There doesn't seem to be any ID science under development that anyone
    wants to relate to their religious beliefs. Meyer has been selling the Cambrian explosion Gap denial (#5) years before he ran the Bait and
    Switch on the Ohio creationist rubes in 2002. There probably are not
    very many Biblical creationists in existence (the Reason to Believe old
    earth IDiots included) that want to believe in the designer responsible
    for the Cambrian explosion. The Reason to Believe IDiots claim that
    they are IDiots in order to confirm their belief that the Bible is
    factually true, and they have to deny the Cambrian explosion denial even
    though you can see them using it the same way in which the YEC
    scientific creationists and ID perps have used the Cambrian explosion
    (as gap denial).

    There doesn't seem to be any IDiotic type creationists interested in
    discussing the IDiotic science because they do not want to understand
    what they will end up denying.

    Agreed, which is why I said that there's nothing "worth
    discussing about any IDiotic science at this time". In
    addition, of course, to the fact that "ID science" is
    nonexistent.

    I acknowledge results are not part of the definition of science.
    However, results are part of the consequences of doing science. OTOH
    no knowledge isn't the same as negative results. It's as important to
    know what is not true as it is to know what is true. Negative results constrain the focus for positive results.

    Philip Johnson retired from his ID scam blog a month after the first
    bait and switch went down on the Ohio rubes, but he did not give up on
    teaching the junk in the public schools because he had made it a major
    issue in his Wedge strategy. When the Dover court case started 3 years
    later Johnson still claimed that the ID science should be taught in the
    public schools and he supported the Dover creationist's efforts. It
    wasn't until Johnson sat in the Federal Court every day of testimony
    that he claimed that he understood that the ID science did not exist,
    and that there was nothing equivalent to the existing science in an
    interview conducted after the Dover court case.

    This reality never affected IDiots that kept posting to TO.

    As I noted Nelson had consistently made claims that the ID perps did not
    yet have the ID science. The first that I recall was around the time
    that the first Bait and Switch went down in 2002, but he is always
    quoted for his 2005 statement that he made when the Dover situation was
    hitting the fan.

    Bill, Pagano, and Kalk couldn't keep using the Top Six to lie to

    There doesn't seem to be any IDiotic type creationists interested in
    discussing the IDiotic science because they do not want to understand
    what they will end up denying.

    Agreed, which is why I said that there's nothing "worth
    discussing about any IDiotic science at this time". In
    addition, of course, to the fact that "ID science" is
    nonexistent.

    The ID science itself can happen and maybe even does happen ... just that >it does not have results and evidences. Religious art and gaps in our >knowledge are not proper evidences.
    Without results and evidences they have still to say something. Only Phillip
    Johnson had enough backbone to be fair and say that they have nothing
    to teach (yet). Rest of them tend to fill the silence with political noise, >doubt and denial of science.

    "no results and evidences" means ID science does not happen.

    That does not follow as science is nowhere defined as results and evidences. Science is typically defined as rigorous and systematic attempt to achieve knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions.
    They have made some positive science-like claims about ID before and those
    have been refuted. Therefore attempt did happen and did fail without good results, (no knowledge) and it may well be that it still does happen.

    As I noted Nelson had consistently made claims that the ID perps did not

    that the first Bait and Switch went down in 2002, but he is always

    So what is there worth discussing about any IDiotic science at this time?

    Nothing, especially since there is no such thing as ID
    science. Maybe when it appears...


    This has been known for over 2 decades, but for over 15 years most of
    the IDiotic creationists that continued to post on TO ignored that fact.
    No one has ever gotten the ID science to teach in the public schools
    even though the ID scam started out claiming that they had ID science
    that could be taught in the public schools. The ID perps never produced
    a public school lesson plan even though they have continued to claim to
    be able to teach the ID science in the public schools for decades. No
    one knows what would be taught if anyone ever teaches what they claim as
    ID science. The reason seems to be that no one would want to teach the
    Top Six, and if you aren't going to teach the best evidence why would
    you teach anything at all? The Big Bang (#1) has already been a science
    topic that IDiotic type creationists have wanted to drop from the public
    school science standards, and they succeeded in Kansas in 1999. So the
    ID perps knew that they didn't want to teach the ID scam in the public
    schools years before they started to run the bait and switch in 2002.

    The bait and switch scam that the ID scam turned into, and the loss in
    Dover hasn't made any IDiots demand to see the ID science. Most of the
    IDiots were satisfied to keep lying to themselves with the Gap denial
    until the Top Six came out. The ID perps are still claiming creationist
    support. They have subsequently put the Top Six out with the gaps out
    of order and dropped #4 (IC) and #5 (the Cambrian explosion). The last
    article on the Top Six dropped the Big Bang (#1) and made it the Top 5
    by splitting #2 (fine tuning) into two parts and Human evolution (#6)
    into two parts. Even some of the ID perps couldn't stand the Top Six as
    they were presented to the rubes back in Nov. 2017.

    Nelson was an ID perp from the start, and he was the only one that kept
    claiming that they didn't yet have the ID science, but that they were
    working on producing some. The reason turns out that Nelson was YEC and
    couldn't stand what the other ID perps were claiming as the ID science.
    There is absolutely no room for the existence of any YEC creationists
    within the Top Six provided in "their order simply reflecting that in
    which they must logically have occurred within our universe." The Big
    Tent that they sold the creationist rubes was a Big Lie. Luskin was
    probably the editor responsible for the Top Six, and the rubes were
    warned when Luskin came back to the ID scam claiming that he had gotten
    a PhD working on sedimentary rocks that were nearly 3 billion years old.
    What is sad is that the majority of creationist support for the ID
    scam are likely still YEC after over 2 decades of the bait and switch
    going down on any creationist rubes still stupid enough to want to teach
    the junk.

    That seems to be the major reason that no ID perps seem to want to use
    the Top Six in any constructive or positive way. They are the same
    god-of-the-gaps junk that the Scientific creationists resorted to when
    they figured out that there wasn't any creation science that they wanted
    to accomplish, but they have never been used to build anything that the
    creationists are willing to support. Even the Reason to Believe IDiots
    have to deny the origin of life and Cambrian explosion gap denial
    because they don't fit into the Biblical timeline. They haven't managed
    to reinterpret enough of the Bible to make them fit. There isn't any
    billions of years of the existence of microbial life before land plants
    were created, before sea creatures, and whales need to be created before
    their terrestrial ancestors existed because the Reason to Believe
    creationists believe that whales were included among the sea creatures
    that were created before terrestrial animals. It is denial of the denial. >> >
    Bill, Pagano, and Kalk couldn't keep using the Top Six to lie to

    claimed that he had never supported the ID scam, but what he likely
    meant was that he had never supported what the ID scam had always been.
    Now Kalk is claiming that he just is no longer interested in the Top
    Six. ID perps like Sewell had to drop IC and the Cambrian explosion out
    of the Top Six and present the rest out of order, and Miller dropped out
    the Big Bang.

    There doesn't seem to be any ID science under development that anyone
    wants to relate to their religious beliefs. Meyer has been selling the
    Cambrian explosion Gap denial (#5) years before he ran the Bait and
    Switch on the Ohio creationist rubes in 2002. There probably are not
    very many Biblical creationists in existence (the Reason to Believe old
    earth IDiots included) that want to believe in the designer responsible
    for the Cambrian explosion. The Reason to Believe IDiots claim that
    they are IDiots in order to confirm their belief that the Bible is
    factually true, and they have to deny the Cambrian explosion denial even
    though you can see them using it the same way in which the YEC
    scientific creationists and ID perps have used the Cambrian explosion
    (as gap denial).

    There doesn't seem to be any IDiotic type creationists interested in

    and any evidence contradicting their beliefs is

    Yes, science is endeavor, attempt to achieve knowledge with certain
    methods.

    For example: Michael Behe produced his first version of "irreducible complexity". Something that stops working if to erase any protein.
    That is testable and its existence in nature can be shown but that can
    be result of evolution. Close, but no cigar.
    Then he produced his second version of "irreducible complexity".
    Change that takes long row of individually non-beneficial mutations (or
    one step macro-mutation) to reach. That is also testable in theory if
    to have genome of ancestor and evolved version. But existence of
    any such cases haven't been found in nature. Close again, but no cigar.

    They have had several other similar science-like claims that have
    been either refuted, discredited or not shown to be exiting or needed.
    So ... I do not know with what someone of them comes out for next.
    Currently they say nothing interesting ... just denial. So I agree,
    nothing worth discussing. All I disagree is that science can't happen
    there.

    Using science to attempt to validate faith is a bad bargain.

    Lot of successful science is done and new knowledge produced
    because scientists had noticed some oddity, had some idea about it
    and faith in that idea. People with faith in supernatural beings also
    say they notice and sense something. It can be result of superstition, self-hypnosis, confirmation bias, or it can be that they are right. I do
    not know it. All I know is that I do not observe things like that. But
    it can be that I'm like ... for example color blind in that sense.


    Without results and evidences they have still to say something. Only Phillip
    Johnson had enough backbone to be fair and say that they have nothing

    exists. If Behe had ever been successful in finding his 3 neutral
    mutations that occurred in some part of the flagellum to produce a new function over a billion years ago, that would have just been more
    science for IDiots to deny.

    So what is there worth discussing about any IDiotic science at this time?

    Agreed, which is why I said that there's nothing "worth
    discussing about any IDiotic science at this time". In
    addition, of course, to the fact that "ID science" is
    nonexistent.

    The ID science itself can happen and maybe even does happen ... just that >> >it does not have results and evidences. Religious art and gaps in our
    knowledge are not proper evidences.

    If by "science" one means using the accepted methods of
    science: Investigate observed phenomena by formulating tests
    and hypotheses, analyzing the test results and using those
    results to attempt to falsify the hypothesis, lather, rinse,
    repeat, then I question whether ID (the religious version,
    which is the one nearly all IDists are invested in) can
    *ever* be scientific, since their conjectures are untestable
    and any evidence contradicting their beliefs is
    automatically rejected.

    Yes, science is endeavor, attempt to achieve knowledge with certain
    methods.

    For example: Michael Behe produced his first version of "irreducible >complexity". Something that stops working if to erase any protein.
    That is testable and its existence in nature can be shown but that can
    be result of evolution. Close, but no cigar.
    Then he produced his second version of "irreducible complexity".
    Change that takes long row of individually non-beneficial mutations (or
    one step macro-mutation) to reach. That is also testable in theory if
    to have genome of ancestor and evolved version. But existence of
    any such cases haven't been found in nature. Close again, but no cigar.

    They have had several other similar science-like claims that have
    been either refuted, discredited or not shown to be exiting or needed.
    So ... I do not know with what someone of them comes out for next.
    Currently they say nothing interesting ... just denial. So I agree,
    nothing worth discussing. All I disagree is that science can't happen
    there.

    Using science to attempt to validate faith is a bad bargain.

    Lot of successful science is done and new knowledge produced
    because scientists had noticed some oddity, had some idea about it
    and faith in that idea. People with faith in supernatural beings also
    say they notice and sense something. It can be result of superstition, >self-hypnosis, confirmation bias, or it can be that they are right. I do
    not know it. All I know is that I do not observe things like that. But
    it can be that I'm like ... for example color blind in that sense.

    Your point about noticing oddities is correct; I even use it
    as my sig. But that doesn't make every conjecture rooted in
    ignorance, such as Behe's about "irreducible complexity",
    science. At most, they're interesting ideas which might lead
    to new knowledge, but only if they can be tested. IC was
    testable; it failed because there were pathways not
    considered by Behe; I recall something about
    subsequently-removed spandrels.

    Without results and evidences they have still to say something. Only Phillip
    Johnson had enough backbone to be fair and say that they have nothing
    to teach (yet). Rest of them tend to fill the silence with political noise, >> >doubt and denial of science.

    This reality never affected IDiots that kept posting to TO.

    As I noted Nelson had consistently made claims that the ID perps did not
    yet have the ID science. The first that I recall was around the time
    that the first Bait and Switch went down in 2002, but he is always
    quoted for his 2005 statement that he made when the Dover situation was
    hitting the fan.



    But they don't seem to bother posting here (any more). There's a few befuddled folk who think evolution is far too complicated, so it easier
    for them to conjure up a magician to do all of it, or at least the tricky bits that science hasn't managed to figure out yet.

    I think you're waging a battle that's over, or at least moved to some
    other theatre.


    I am the one that has been claiming that it has been over since the bait
    and switch scam started over 20 years ago. Right now only Glenn and
    Nyikos are keeping the ID scam alive on TO. Bill and Kalk may post from
    time to time, but they gave up on the ID scam half a decade ago. MarkE
    still wants to wallow in the Gap denial even though he doesn't want to
    believe in the designer that fills those gaps. That is all that is left
    here on TO.

    Nelson was one of the original ID perps that started the ID scam at the Discovery Institute, but it took him a very long time to make Senior
    Fellow. He was the one that kept claiming that they didn't have the ID
    science yet, but that they were working on producing it. When the ID
    scam started Nelson claimed that he was going to publish a book that
    would refute Darwinism, but as far as I know that book was never
    published. PZ would ask him for years about when that book was going to
    be published.

    Nelson never wanted to support the Top Six best evidence for the ID
    scam. As a YEC IDiot there never was any science that the ID perps
    could accomplish that would make Nelson happy. Any successful ID
    science would just be more science to deny. So Nelson participated in
    the ID creationist scam knowing that they never had the ID science that
    the other ID perps claimed to have.

    That is science, not scam.

    Similar unsuccessful science example: Some Korean researchers
    published in July a discovery of "room temperature superconductor"
    that caused several of institutes to study it and find that it isn't superconductor. <https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/09/the-room-temperature-superconductor-that-wasnt/>
    Bad, failed science. But by every definition science.
    Lot of science actually goes like that and lot of (expensive)
    equipment and work hours are put into things that are figured not
    to work as result.
    Knowledge was produced in form of testable predictions that
    succeeded something but failed in general.

    Scam example: What "pnn calmagorod" posts here is clear scam. He
    claims having invention and patents but does publish nothing that
    others can verify. Why? Because he is scammer, not worth attention.

    So that is (at least my opinion about) what is science. As of supernatural
    it depends what we say is natural and what is supernatural. For example
    if to say that what we know something about is "natural" (baryonic matter
    and energy) ... then at least 95% of our universes mass and energy is supernatural by indirect evidence. If anything of that is also "intelligent" and even "benevolent" we do not know. We know nothing about it in big
    part. That can be probably researched.

    I agree with Ron Okimoto that if whatever we find out about how things
    really are will not satisfy most believers. Discovery Institute, Reason
    to Believe, Answers in Genesis etc. They want to argue with dogma
    against dogma, not to research and to study.

    I'd argue that Behe wasn't "doing science"; those who tested
    his conjecture were. All Behe did was voice an opinion,
    unsupported by anything other than his personal belief in
    what's possible; that seems to be the sum total of *all* of
    ID. And IIRC he still hasn't acknowledged that his
    conjecture, and by implication the belief underlying it, are
    wrong.

    So yes, science was involved in the process. But Behe didn't
    practice it.

    Paul Nelson is indeed a 3rd generation YEC. I have a copy of his
    grandfather's book;
    Nelson, Byron C.
    1927 (last edition 1952) After Its Kind: The first and last word on
    evolution Minneapolis: Augsburg Books


    Nelson was one of the original ID perps that started the ID scam at the
    Discovery Institute, but it took him a very long time to make Senior
    Fellow. He was the one that kept claiming that they didn't have the ID
    science yet, but that they were working on producing it. When the ID
    scam started Nelson claimed that he was going to publish a book that
    would refute Darwinism, but as far as I know that book was never
    published. PZ would ask him for years about when that book was going to
    be published.

    Nelson never wanted to support the Top Six best evidence for the ID
    scam. As a YEC IDiot there never was any science that the ID perps
    could accomplish that would make Nelson happy. Any successful ID
    science would just be more science to deny. So Nelson participated in
    the ID creationist scam knowing that they never had the ID science that
    the other ID perps claimed to have.

    Do you need a dictionary?
    Fidelity: faithfulness to a person, cause, or belief.

    What person, cause, or belief are you accusing people of being unfaithful to?
    I don't think any of these folks took a pledge of loyalty to the Discovery Institute.

    And infidel as an insult? Faith or belief is not a choice. Some consider it a gift.
    As such, you castigate those who have not been given your particular gift
    of belief in your particular god? Funny from one who on occasion describes themselves as agnostic.

    Clearly I disagree with many things you say but as often you say things that are frankly incoherent.

    What do you think you are doing by putting up the god-of-the-gaps denial
    in order to support your religious beliefs against the "infidels" and
    have to lie to yourself about what you are doing and why you are doing
    it? Do you understand why the other IDiots quit the ID scam when they
    could not deal with the ID perp's Top Six best evidences for IDiocy?
    They obviouisly did quit, and now Kalkidas is claiming that the Top Six
    are just things that are not worth discussing any longer. They just do
    not have the value in self deception that they used to have.

    Paul Nelson is YEC and never wanted the ID perps to accomplish any ID
    science. It just would have been more science to deny. He was only
    involved in the ID scam because he understood that the other ID perps
    did not have the science that they claimed to have. The ID perps like
    Nelson have always been lying to the YEC rubes in order to gain support
    for their Wedge strategy. Nelson has understood this from the very
    beginning.

    QUOTE:
    Nelson is frequently cited by opponents of intelligent design as an
    example of ID's "big tent" strategy in action. He has written about
    "Life in the Big Tent" in the Christian Research Journal.[4] In an
    interview for Touchstone Magazine Nelson said that the main challenge
    facing the ID community was to "develop a full-fledged theory of
    biological design", and that the lack of such a theory was a "real
    problem".[5]
    END QUOTE:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Nelson_(creationist)

    All you have to do is imagine what Nelson would do if Meyer was ever
    able to do the science to demonstrate that some god was responsible for
    his Cambrian explosion gap denial. He would know what happened within
    that 25 million year period over half a billion years ago. Nelson is
    YEC he would have likely quit the ID scam if any ID science had actually
    been accomplished.

    I read virtually all of the post on this particular thread. About the
    only thing notable in these post is the reassurance that infidels offer
    each other that their infidelity is justifiable and the right pathway
    to self-righteousness.

    What do you think you are doing by putting up the god-of-the-gaps
    denial in order to support your religious beliefs against the "infidels"

    You are a damn liar! You know nothing about my "religion". I totally
    and completely 100% reject the Genesis creation story. My rejection of evolution has nothing to do with religion! It's because I discovered
    that evolution is a fraud. For a more than a half century, evolution
    was based on a deliberate, purposeful fraud, known as the Piltdown
    Man. But the Piltdown man, from the beginning was recognized as
    fraudulent by some professionals and so it was contraversal. But this
    fraud was a "godsend" to people who desperately wanted some proof of evolution. And this fraud was spread throughout society for a half
    century. How many school books had this apelike human fraud placed
    before children.

    How many indeed? Can you name just one? I've never seen such a book. If
    any exist, were they written by biologists or authors of pop science?

    Are you really so ignorant that you think that evolution was based on
    the Piltdown man? Whether today or in 1950 no serious biologist
    regarded Piltdown man as the centrepiece. Acceptance of evolution is
    based on far wider evidence than just one example. Did Theodosius
    Dobzhansky ever take Piltdown man as an essential part of evolutionary
    theory? If you think he did, please give a reference. Did R. A. Fisher?
    Did Sewall Wright? Did J. B. S. Haldane? Did George Gaylord Simpson?
    For all of these, and others who were influential in the first half of
    the 20th century, you need to give direct quotations and references. If
    you can't do that then it's not RonO who is a damn liar, it is you.

    This fraud affected human societies for more than a century: actually
    until the 1950s. By then the damage was done. However, to the dismay
    of many believers, physicist proved it was a deliberate fraud, the
    fraud consist of an early fossilized human skull with a chimp chin and
    filed teeth.

    There are certainly numerous PhDs who earned their Doctorates by their dissertations on Piltdown man.

    Evidence? Give some examples.

    Such PhD should be worthless, since the dissertations were based on
    the fraudulent Piltdown Man which they accepted as real. So, since so
    many people were fooled by this fraud, how many others people were
    deceived by this fraud. Secondly, how many other frauds have been
    perpetuated
    by people who advocate evolutionist.

    and
    have to lie to yourself about what you are doing and why you are doing
    it?  Do you understand why the other IDiots quit the ID scam when they
    could not deal with the ID perp's Top Six best evidences for IDiocy?
    They obviouisly did quit, and now Kalkidas is claiming that the Top Six
    are just things that are not worth discussing any longer.  They just
    do not have the value in self deception that they used to have.

    Paul Nelson is YEC and never wanted the ID perps to accomplish any ID
    science.  It just would have been more science to deny.  He was only
    involved in the ID scam because he understood that the other ID perps
    did not have the science that they claimed to have.  The ID perps like
    Nelson have always been lying to the YEC rubes in order to gain support
    for their Wedge strategy.  Nelson has understood this from the very
    beginning.

    All you have to do is imagine what Nelson would do if Meyer was ever

    his Cambrian explosion gap denial.  He would know what happened within
    that 25 million year period over half a billion years ago.  Nelson is

    Paul Nelson is indeed a 3rd generation YEC. I have a copy of his
    grandfather's book;
      Nelson, Byron C.
    1927 (last edition 1952) “After Its Kind: The first and last word
    on evolution” Minneapolis: Augsburg Books


    Nelson was one of the original ID perps that started the ID scam at
    the Discovery Institute, but it took him a very long time to make
    Senior Fellow.  He was the one that kept claiming that they didn't
    have the ID science yet, but that they were working on producing it.
    When the ID scam started Nelson claimed that he was going to publish
    a book that would refute Darwinism, but as far as I know that book
    was never published.  PZ would ask him for years about when that
    book was going to be published.

    Nelson never wanted to support the Top Six best evidence for the ID
    scam.  As a YEC IDiot there never was any science that the ID perps
    could accomplish that would make Nelson happy.  Any successful ID
    science would just be more science to deny.  So Nelson participated
    in the ID creationist scam knowing that they never had the ID
    science that the other ID perps claimed to have.

    I read virtually all of the post on this particular thread. About the
    only thing notable in these post is the reassurance that infidels
    offer each other that their infidelity is justifiable and the right
    pathway to self-righteousness.

    What do you think you are doing by putting up the god-of-the-gaps
    denial in order to support your religious beliefs against the "infidels"

    You are a damn liar! You know nothing about my "religion". I totally and completely 100% reject the Genesis creation story. My rejection of
    evolution has nothing to do with religion! It's because I discovered
    that evolution is a fraud. For a more than a half century, evolution was based on a deliberate, purposeful  fraud, known as the Piltdown Man. But
    the Piltdown man, from the beginning was recognized as fraudulent by
    some professionals and so it was contraversal. But this fraud was a
    "godsend" to people who desperately wanted some proof of evolution. And
    this fraud was spread throughout society for a half century. How many
    school books had this apelike human fraud placed before children.

    This fraud affected human societies for more than a century: actually
    until the 1950s. By then the damage was done.  However, to the dismay of many believers, physicist proved it was a deliberate  fraud, the fraud consist of an early fossilized human skull with a chimp chin and filed

    how many others people were deceived by this fraud. Secondly, how many
    other frauds have been perpetuated
    by people who advocate evolutionist.

    Denton claims that people that reject biological evolution due to his
    first book misinterpreted what he was doing. He has claimed that
    biological evolution is a fact of nature. You lying about defending
    your religious beliefs against the infidels is due to your
    misinterpretation of Denton's first book (theory in Crisis).

    Did you read Denton's second book where he claimed to understand that biological evolution was a fact of nature, and wrote about how some
    designer could have been responsible for it? That book did not get a
    good review from the other ID perps. This was mainly due to Denton's
    Deistic views on the designer (the other ID perps wanted to believe in
    an interactive designer). Denton quit the ID scam for a while after
    that poor acceptance of his second book. He did not return to be an ID
    perp until after their loss in Dover. You obviously never read it or you
    would know that you had misinterpreted Denton's first book.

    There is no reason to keep lying about reality in order to keep the
    infidels at bay.

    The Christians at BioLogos also reject the Genesis account. You should
    look them up.

    Denton claims that people that reject biological evolution due to his

     I just read what he wrote. I didn't interpret anything.

    You do realize that it was your misinterpretation of what you read
    resulted in you thinking that it was OK to start to deny biological
    evolution.


     He has claimed that
    biological evolution is a fact of nature.  You lying about defending
    your religious beliefs against the infidels is due to your
    misinterpretation of Denton's first book (theory in Crisis).

    You've deliberately and purposefully deceived yourself into thinking
    that everyone who is anti-evolution is is due to a religious motivation.
    This is self-serving; it obviously comforts you. But
    I not playing your goddamn game any more, because I don't chose to
    comfort you any more. I don't
    know you and I do not care about you.

    You are the one that claimed to be countering the infidels. It is just
    a fact that there hasn't been an IDiot that ever posted on TO that was
    not a religious creationist type. They were IDiots in order to defend
    those religious beliefs, just like you were warding off the infidels.

    ID scam supporter and creationist rube, the two go hand in hand, and
    they always have. The fact that there has never been an exception is
    pretty good grounds to put the proper tag on something. You do realize
    that the majority of IDiotic creationist support for the ID scam come
    from the same YEC contingent that supported the scientific creationist
    fiasco. They were more honest before their efforts failed. The Old
    earth creationists also hopped onto the ID scam band wagon for the same
    reason as the YEC. The Reason to Believe IDiots even admit that they
    are IDiots in order to support their OEC beliefs. They claim it as
    their way of properly interpreting the Bible.

    Denying the religious connection has been part of the creationist ID
    scam from the beginning. You should have realized that long ago. You
    should have taken your clue from the ID perps. After their failure in
    Dover they started up their religious web sites and they started putting
    out their science and religion articles on their ID propaganda site
    (evolution news).

    Ron Okimoto


    Did you read Denton's second book where he claimed to understand that
    biological evolution was a fact of nature, and wrote about how some
    designer could have been responsible for it?  That book did not get a
    good review from the other ID perps.  This was mainly due to Denton's
    Deistic views on the designer (the other ID perps wanted to believe in
    an interactive designer).  Denton quit the ID scam for a while after
    that poor acceptance of his second book.  He did not return to be an
    ID perp until after their loss in Dover. You obviously never read it
    or you would know that you had misinterpreted Denton's first book.

    There is no reason to keep lying about reality in order to keep the
    infidels at bay.

    The Christians at BioLogos also reject the Genesis account.  You
    should look them up.

    and
    have to lie to yourself about what you are doing and why you are
    doing it?  Do you understand why the other IDiots quit the ID scam
    when they could not deal with the ID perp's Top Six best evidences
    for IDiocy? They obviouisly did quit, and now Kalkidas is claiming
    that the Top Six are just things that are not worth discussing any
    longer.  They just do not have the value in self deception that they
    used to have.

    Paul Nelson is YEC and never wanted the ID perps to accomplish any
    ID science.  It just would have been more science to deny.  He was
    only involved in the ID scam because he understood that the other ID
    perps did not have the science that they claimed to have.  The ID
    perps like Nelson have always been lying to the YEC rubes in order
    to gain support for their Wedge strategy.  Nelson has understood
    this from the very beginning.

    QUOTE:
    Nelson is frequently cited by opponents of intelligent design as an
    example of ID's "big tent" strategy in action. He has written about
    "Life in the Big Tent" in the Christian Research Journal.[4] In an
    interview for Touchstone Magazine Nelson said that the main
    challenge facing the ID community was to "develop a full-fledged
    theory of biological design", and that the lack of such a theory was
    a "real problem".[5]
    END QUOTE:

    All you have to do is imagine what Nelson would do if Meyer was ever
    able to do the science to demonstrate that some god was responsible
    for his Cambrian explosion gap denial.  He would know what happened
    within that 25 million year period over half a billion years ago.
    Nelson is YEC he would have likely quit the ID scam if any ID
    science had actually been accomplished.

    I read virtually all of the post on this particular thread. About
    the only thing notable in these post is the reassurance that
    infidels offer each other that their infidelity is justifiable and
    the right pathway to self-righteousness.

    What do you think you are doing by putting up the god-of-the-gaps
    denial in order to support your religious beliefs against the
    "infidels"
    ;
    You are a damn liar! You know nothing about my "religion". I totally
    and completely 100% reject the Genesis creation story. My rejection
    of evolution has nothing to do with religion! It's because I
    discovered that evolution is a fraud. For a more than a half century,
    evolution was based on a deliberate, purposeful  fraud, known as the
    Piltdown Man. But the Piltdown man, from the beginning was recognized
    as fraudulent by some professionals and so it was contraversal. But
    this fraud was a "godsend" to people who desperately wanted some
    proof of evolution. And this fraud was spread throughout society for
    a half century. How many school books had this apelike human fraud
    placed before children.

    This fraud affected human societies for more than a century: actually
    until the 1950s. By then the damage was done.  However, to the dismay
    of many believers, physicist proved it was a deliberate  fraud, the
    fraud consist of an early fossilized human skull with a chimp chin
    and filed teeth.

    I find it interesting that you object to fraud, and yet the
    alternative you favor over evolution is a known fraud, and has a court
    case establishing as much.

    Federal or civil laws do _not_ determine the its validity, _only_ its legality.
    IE teaching ID is illegal, which does not mean it's  wrong.

    But it does mean that their claim to be able to teach it as science is
    wrong, and that ID has been a scam since they started running the bait
    and switch before ID was found to be illegal to teach. ID has only been
    the bait to draw in the creationist rubes like yourself, but all the
    rubes ever get is an obfuscation and denial switch scam that the ID
    perps tell you has nothing to do with ID nor creationism.

    Ron Okimoto

    There are certainly numerous PhDs who earned their Doctorates by
    their dissertations on Piltdown man. Such PhD should be worthless,
    since the dissertations were based on the fraudulent Piltdown Man
    which they accepted as real. So, since so many people were fooled by
    this fraud, how many others people were deceived by this fraud.
    Secondly, how many other frauds have been perpetuated
    by people who advocate evolutionist.

    That claim is another fraud.  In all likelihood, there are zero PhDs
    based on Piltdown man (excepting, perhaps, one or two fairly recent
    ones about its history).  Can you name one?  I would attribute your
    mistake to simply gullibility, but your adding the word "certainly"
    makes you accessory to the fraud.

    From the time of its "discovery" the Piltdown man was considered an important link between modern man and his earlier ancestors. So, there
    is every reason to assume that there were some PhD dissertations on what
    was thought to be an important find. Under this circumstance why do you
    not agree? I did read on TO that there was 500 such papers, this however
    was controversial.

    It helps to know something about the subject one writes about. A large
    part of the reason Piltdown man went definitively unexposed for so long
    is because it was largely kept unavailable for study for that long. Few
    people write PhD dissertations on subject they cannot study.

    The claim of 500 of them should have tipped you off even if you didn't
    know that. 500 people wanting to do dissertations would mean a minimum
    of 50 people vying for access to the fossils simultaneously. I doubt
    even a third person would enter the field once he learned it was crowded
    by two others.

    by people who advocate evolutionist.

    That claim is another fraud.  In all likelihood, there are zero PhDs
    based on Piltdown man (excepting, perhaps, one or two fairly recent
    ones about its history).  Can you name one?  I would attribute your
    mistake to simply gullibility, but your adding the word "certainly"
    makes you accessory to the fraud.

    No comment?  Aren't you angry about frauds being committed?

    No, it does not. It was a reasonable conclusion, based upon the
    "discovery" and the interest it generated. It seemed logical. Can you
    say with any degree of certainty that there were no Phd dissertations
    based upon this discovery? I realize that you have not expressed any
    contrary information. Perhaps, you cannot say there were none. If not,
    then my reasons stands.

    I can say that people have looked for them and not found any, at least
    not until after Piltown man's exposure as a forgery. Broger already gave
    you the link to Richard Harter's page.

    And the "500 dissertations" was obviously unreasonable. I suppose it
    would not be unreasonable to assume that many dissertations which make reference to, say, a certain index fossil, but that many dissertations
    *about* any single fossil is absurd. Though I'm no expert in
    paleontology, I expect two dissertations on the same fossil would be
    unusual, and three would be remarkable.

    that any papers, had they ever existed would have been made or kept
    available or downloaded onto the internet.

    With this comment you show your total ignorance of how scientific
    publishing is done. Do you know about Google? Do you know how to use
    it? If the papers exist you can find them. It doesn't matter whether
    they've been uploaded to the Internet. If you have a reference your
    local university library can let you see a copy in a bound volume. That
    system was in general use long before anyone thought of the Internet.

     I did read on TO that there was 500 such papers,

    When? Who wrote it? Reference?

    this however was controversial.

    Wouldn't it be simpler just to acknowledge that your original statement
    about Piltdown Man was a lie, based on no evidence?

    that any papers, had they ever existed would have been made or kept available or downloaded onto the internet.

    Don't see how that follows. There are plenty of people who would like to remind everyone of how embarrassing it is that paleontologists fell for the fraud, and those people are certainly capable of uploading old papers onto the internet.

    All walks of life try to make it harder for various ever-present fraudsters to fool gullible by pretending being genuine representatives of some profession
    in the field.

    Science has been so far rather (even enviably) successful in filtering its snake oil salesmen out. It is about as hard to pretend to be successful
    and productive scientist as it is to pretend to be successful and productive aircraft pilot. So embarrassed should be the wide-eyed here who rush to
    believe some fake garbage without capability to cite (oh I got work and
    family) any actual papers.

    Nelson was an ID perp from the start, and he was the only one that kept

    couldn't stand what the other ID perps were claiming as the ID science.

    Nelson was one of the original ID perps that started the ID scam at the

    Fellow.  He was the one that kept claiming that they didn't have the

    Nelson never wanted to support the Top Six best evidence for the ID

    I read virtually all of the post on this particular thread. About the

    With this comment you show your total ignorance of how scientific
    publishing is done. Do you know about Google? Do you know how to use
    it? If the papers exist you can find them. It doesn't matter whether
    they've been uploaded to the Internet. If you have a reference your

     this however was controversial.

    Wouldn't it be simpler just to acknowledge that your original statement
    about Piltdown Man was a lie, based on no evidence?

    I was wrong, but before it was proven fraud, I had no evidence, but at
    the time it seemed reasonable. I would have expected it to be the
    subject of PhD papers.

    That's not what you said. You lied about it.

    Why don't you try to educate yourself before spouting ignorant
    nonsense? You just can't help yourself, can you? You come across
    something about which you don't know and don't understand (often both)
    and then make assertions that don't stand up. I call that lying.
    Whatever your suspicions it's not so easy to prove that a fossil
    fraudulent if you don't have the possibility of examining it closely
    and subjecting it to chemical analysis, at a time when modern methods
    of dating fossils didn't exist. I don't know where you got your "crude"
    from (another invention?) but it doesn't agree with the assessment by
    experts at the time the fake was demonstrated was "extraordinarily
    skillful."

    As long ago as 1924, work of Raymond Dart (discoverer of
    Australopithecus (the Taung child)) cast doubt on the idea that
    Piltdown man was ancestral to Homo sapiens.

    On a personal note, in 2012 I was staying with my sister in East
    Sussex, and she and her husband took me to visit a large and scenic
    garden at Sheffield Park. What I didn't realize then was that that
    brought me within a stone's throw of Piltdown. If I had known I would
    have suggested a detour.
