“Philosophy is, in fact, not easy. Bullshitting is easy. Philosophy is not.” – Kantian Naturalist
ROTFLMAO! KN’s philosophistry regularly on display.
I insist that we know the relative proportions to a decent level of accuracy.
This is different from claiming that we know with certainty which parts are junk and which parts aren’t.
Again, nobody has advocated for not doing functional annotations or various expression and biochemical assays for the entire genome. In fact I would even advocate for doing studies on differentiating cells and specific tissues so we find out not only what the functional regions are specifically, but what their specific functions are.
No, that isn’t the truth and you KNOW it isn’t the truth. You know it is a falsehood and you are now knowingly and deliberately telling something you know is untrue.
That makes you a lying sack of shit. I emplore you to stop being a lying sack of shit.
I believe I have the moral high ground here also, because even the mentally debilitating religion you mindlessly worship COMMANDS you to not tell falsehoods.
Exodus 20:16 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.”
These are supposedly words directly from god. And they’re supposedly not a story, or an allegory, or a metaphor. But a direct, unambigous commandment, and you are FAILING to live up to it RIGHT NOW.
Alan Fox,
Obviously your ‘book’ (of judgment) is rather primitive, Alan Fox. Sophistry is not synonymous with lying. I don’t doubt that KN as deeply as his self-confessed as-horizontal-as-possible persona here can muster actually believes he is telling the truth. No accusation of lying. That doesn’t make his attempted ‘philosophy’ not appear rather closer to philosophistry than wisdom. But sadly you can’t see that. And you, sir, are obviously not one competent to impartially judge, fellow atheist cheerleader of bottom-less and top-less intellectual vacuity.
“Can you offer — and defend — an example of top-down causation?”
Yes, you moronic atheist, a disgraceful excuse for a human being. I linked to your own post. That’s ‘top-down causation’. Period.
Mung,
Well, that’s a bit simplistic, but on par for the moronic atheist ‘skeptics’ here at TSZ.
They do not simulate natural selection at all, Joe. NS is not a search heuristic actively searching for a pre-specified target. OTOH weasel is a search heuristic actively searching for a pre-specified target.
As for natural selection and pure chance, well NS is non-random in a very trivial way, ie not all variations have the same chance of being eliminated.
So thank you, Joe, for demonstrating the dishonesty of evolutionists
What a total crock. Obviously you don’t use set subtraction when it doesn’t apply. You have serious issues, keiths
