  1. Hi, my name is keiths. When I do not answer a question it is because i am afraid to answer the question.

  2. dazz: Hi, my name is Mung. When I do not answer a question it is because i am afraid to answer the question.

    Unassailable logic!

  3. Mung: Yup. Your expectation that anyone be logical assumes theism.

    No, but considering that you’ve shown to be logically illiterate time and again one should logically conclude that you’re an atheist. Right Mungy?

  4. No. It is not just atheists who are logically illiterate. My claim is that atheists employ logic to their own detriment. It would be better for them if they abandon all attempts at being logical.

  5. Robin,

    Hadn’t noticed that. Gravatar assigns a random monster image if a member doesn’t want to upload one of their own choice. I can’t recall a recent update that might have triggered a reset. I’ve changed mine recently just ‘cos I can!

    Maybe that’s it. It just seems like as of the middle of last just about everyone has a new portrait from what I’ve become used to, so now I don’t know who anyone is anymore. 1st world problem I suppose…

    I know. A couple days ago I was a bad-ass crab-like thing. Now I look like a glob of phlegm, something more reminiscent of Mung or Joe/Frankie/Virgil.

    Mine’s the same. So’s Goneril’s.

    Yes, mine’s the same too. It seems that the avatars that were self-loaded stayed, but all the system-generated ones changed.

  9. I used to have an internal ignore button that allowed me to skip over the worst of the creationists. I’ve got some sort of allergy that has me in a really bad mood, and I’m responding to things I should ignore.

  10. Apparently Barry has been dipping into Stalin’s playbook again. V.J. Torrey posted an OP at UD that was critical of Doug Axe’s Undeniable that has now disappeared along with all of its comments. REC at AtBC posted a cached copy;
    Cached copy of Torley’s UD post

    Is it possible that VJT is wearing out his welcome at UD?

  11. Acartia,

    When you’re fighting the persecution and censorship of the Darwinists, you can’t afford any deviation from message. (Especially not when your science is a complete crock.)

    Yes, it’s all the Darwinists’ fault, after all. Possibly they got a mole into the pure, unsullied truth and brilliance of UD, and VJT will have to be disappeared. Nothing to do with ID, nasty Darwinists are forcing Barry’s hand.

  12. Acartia,

    REC also (correctly) points out:

    “So….at UD today, white supremacy is OK, but critiques of Axe disappear. ”

    Oh the freedoms they enjoy there!

  13. Good thing evilutionists were around to preserve VJ’s opus. It’s almost book length.

  14. OMagain: It’s back now.

    I switched it off because it messes up the formatting. I asked if anyone was bothered and got no direct feedback one way or the other. If people find it useful I’ll leave the plugin active and try not to lose sleep over the untidy comment thread appearance.

    I’d sensed (or imagined) previous tension! Should we not invite Vincent to post his opus here. Perhaps a “lightly” edited version.

    Alan Fox,

    I guess I’d rather have it than not.Also, I like having the comments on each page numbered.

    Ah, I forgot about that. It is quite handy to have the numbering.

  17. Neil Rickert: I think he won’t.That would earn him the wrath of Barry Arrington, and he probably doesn’t want to go there.

    I think he has already earned the wrath of Barry. Barry has deleted at least two comments that linked to VJT’s article that VJT posted on his own blog. One by VJT.

    I always thought that VJT was a little crazy with his flying priests. But he has shown that he can think thoughts that Barry doesn’t give him.

    And Barry has now shown that he takes his marching orders from the DI.

  18. Neil Rickert: Now Cornelius has stepped up to the plate
    Professor B Supports Evolution
    and is attacking VJT.

    Corny is kidding when he says professor B is posting anonymously. Isn’t he?

  19. petrushka: Corny is kidding when he says professor B is posting anonymously. Isn’t he?

    Hard to say. The linked paper does not identify an author, though the link itself shows that it is a vjt page.

    I think Cornelius doesn’t want to publicize who he is criticizing.

  20. Has anyone read Axe’s book BTW? I haven’t, but the presentation video wasn’t very promising: swap Behe’s mouse trap for an origami crane and make the same old failed analogies

  21. Bah, nevermind. Reading Torley’s review it’s apparent that Axe is rehashing the same old retarded arguments: Paley’s watch, arbitrary probability boundaries, multiple interdependent parts, supercomplexialidoucious…

    Creatards love to buy the same book over and over and over again

  22. There is a Professor B in VJ’s review, so that is what Corney is responding to.

    VJ’s essay, by the way, is well written and well worth reading. I would be happy to see it posted here as an OP. We could leave comments on. 🙂

    Without agreeing with everything VJ says, I think it is among the best book reviews I’ve read. Certainly better than anything I would expect from a newspaper or magazine, even the good ones.
