Ove on OgreMKV's blog David chimes in with:
The key equivocation in all the definitions that come from the IDC community is the word certain: “certain structures,” “certain features of the universe and of living things,” “certain natural phenomena.” This word allows IDC to be infinitely elastic and to reduce its claims when handy: you can think everything evolved naturally ever except for, say, human self-awareness, and IDC will claim you for one of their own.
But of course ID’s claims are much more than such modest statements suggest. IDC says they can tell, scientifically, which among these “structures” etc. are designed. When it wants to, as in the definitions above, IDC will say all we’re doing is applying existing methods to natural pheneomena — what’s the big deal? Meanwhile it defines evolution as being incredibly arrogant, creating a strawman version of what evolution means (and — in case kairosfocus is reading — adding a little ad hominem, a few red herrings, and a lit match).
The equivocation is all dave's as IDC only exists in the minds of the willfully ignorant.
Methinks Dave doesn't understand the word equivocation. Intelligent Design does not say that everything is designed and IDists tell you what those certain features are.
And yes we say we can determine what is and isn't designed. and guess what? to refute any claim of design all YOU have to do is step up and demonstrate necessity and chance are all that is required. Shit the explanatory filter mandates that your position be given first crack at a solution.
And finally Dave accuses us of creating a strawman version of what evolution means- and again without any evidence to support the claim.
So how about it Hermy? What strawman have we created? Please be specific.
What's the pleasure you get in revealing people's names? Do you feel some sense of power? Obviously you go out of your way to do this.
ReplyDeleteYour "refutation" of my comment is merely an assertion that I'm wrong.
Joe, stop! You are killing us! We're dying from laughter!
ReplyDeleteDave:
ReplyDeleteWhat's the pleasure you get in revealing people's names?
What's the pleasure you get out of lying and misrepresenting your opponents?
What's the pleasure you get out of posting bald assertions and false accusations?
Obviously you go out of your way to do so.
Your "refutation" of my comment is merely an assertion that I'm wrong.
Your "comment" is all bald assertion. That is the whole point.
And it is very telling that you avoided any attempt of supporting your bullshit.
oleg:
ReplyDeleteJoe, stop!
Stop what? Stop exposing you and your ilk for the evotards that you are?
You are killing us!
I am just exposing you for the evotards that you are.
We're dying from laughter!
Of course you are. Morons usually laugh at that which they cannot comprehend.
The support is in the quotes from ID self-definitions, all of which use "certain" in a vague sense that allows for broad range of what that means.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't answer my question. I do not believe I have lied or misrepresented your views, so your question is about an opinion (yours) that I don't share. You have without doubt gone out of your way to publicize real names rather than internet handles, so my question is about a fact. Unless you don't agree that you have a practice of revealing real names of your opponents.
Dave:
ReplyDeleteThe support is in the quotes from ID self-definitions, all of which use "certain" in a vague sense that allows for broad range of what that means.
And as I said in the OP we tell you what those certain features are.
I do not believe I have lied or misrepresented your views,
Well you have. And that you don't understand that proves my point- you are pathological and unstable.
Now tell us about that alleged strawman.
I do not believe I have lied or misrepresented your views
ReplyDeleteActually it appears that is all you are capable of.
And if you didn't lie and misrepresnt ID I wouldn't give a damn who you are.
ReplyDeleteBut seeing that all you have is to lie and misrepresent ID I want people to know who you are.
Joe, you don't even understand why we are laughing at you, do you? Well, let me explain.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny when a Joe Sixpack picks on an expert, particularly an expert in a field about which Joe knows very little. Examples abound.
Here is Joe saying that professors of integrative biology from Berkeley do not understand nested hierarchies.
Here is Joe lecturing a physicist about information theory.
And now, here is Joe telling Hermagoras that he does not understand what the word equivocation means. Come on, Joe. You can't even spell his handle correctly and you're trying to teach him rhetorics?
Don't you think it's funny?
oleg:
ReplyDeleteHere is Joe lecturing a physicist about information theory.
LoL! You link to me showing you that you are an ass? Nice job ace.
That is why we laugh at you asshole.
oleg:
Here is Joe saying that professors of integrative biology from Berkeley do not understand nested hierarchies.
That wasn't me and that wasn't what was said.
And now, here is Joe telling Hermagoras that he does not understand what the word equivocation means.
It was more of a suggestion actually. And if he knows what it means then why does he equivocate?
Strange how he hasn't supported anything he has posted.
Oh, and your protestations that you are not ID Guy, that's priceless, too! Trouble is, Joe, your writing style is inimitable and anyone with half a brain can recognize it from a mile away.
ReplyDeleteBesides, in a moment of excitement you forget to pretend that you are not ID Guy.
Oh, and that nebula thing? Also very funny.

Strange, but entertaining. Thanks...
You're suggesting somebody else wants to write like you?
ReplyDeleteThat strains credulity all by itself.
And you're further suggesting that you and this somebody ("Jim," if I recall) have engaged in some super-clever plan to confuse others into thinking you're the same person?
That's some tall tale you're concocting to deny the obvious.
Dave:
ReplyDeleteYou're suggesting somebody else wants to write like you?
Am I to understand that evotards don't have any friends? Friends that happen to agree with a position, have something to say and also like fucking with people?
I believe it.
Still noticing that you cannot support any of your claims.

Evidence that you're frisbee kid might be your own comment on UD about five years ago: http://www.uncommondescent.com/intelligent-design/roger-ebert-film-critic-expert-on-evolution-id-basher-and-overall-supergenius/#comment-32234
ReplyDeleteThat is just evidence that that account has been active since that time.
ReplyDeleteMost likely it was the email addy I used to register- that is what the account was set up for. So naturally it would be the one I would advertise.
You're never going to address your bullshit misrepresentations, equivocations and nonsense, are you?
How about this for evidence: the letter sent in 2005 to the Journal of Clinical Investigation by "Joseph A. Gallien" (with a GE affiliation, no less) using the frisbee kid address? http://www.jci.org/eletters/view/26727
ReplyDeleteDid your father send that letter?
"Most likely it was the email addy I used to register- that is what the account was set up for. So naturally it would be the one I would advertise."

ReplyDeleteI am sure it's all Jim's fault.

ReplyDeleteIt is an address I use to register for forums. It was set up by one of the other people who posted as "John Paul" (that was a group effort).
I can't access the email account. All I can do is inform the person who has it when I have a password being sent there.

Too bad they can't spend as much effort trying to support their position as they spend chasing their tails...
Joe,
ReplyDeleteEven if we suspend disbelief and swallow your explanation, the elaborate scheme looks monumentally stupid. Here is Joe giving out an email address to anyone who would like to contact him. Every week he has to contact Jim and ask him to check the email account and to forward the email, if any, to him.
After a week, anyone with half a brain would simply register another throwaway account himself and be done with it.
Keep up the good work, Joe, the literary genius that you are.
oleg,
ReplyDeleteYou are a moron.
oleg:
Here is Joe giving out an email address to anyone who would like to contact him.
Stupid, the addy was set up many years ago when a group of people who only had company email addresses wanted to join discussion forums and didn't want to/ couldn't use a company email address and didn't want anything directlt traced back to them.
Every week he has to contact Jim and ask him to check the email account and to forward the email, if any, to him.
Umm Jim has nothing to do with it and I don't contact anyone once a week.
Only when I set up a new account do I contact the admin of the email, usually by email. And people I know use my email to contact me.
But nice twisted story you have woven there dipshit.

Joe, it doesn't really matter that you pretend your sock puppets are real people, friends who share your first initial J, atrocious writing style, love of ID, and contempt for others. It doesn't really matter that, when your lies are exposed, you spin ridiculous tall tales to evade the obvious, eliciting further evidence to the contrary. It doesn't even matter that you somehow think that any attention to these lies, by distracting from the real issues, is a point in your favor.
ReplyDeleteThey would be a distraction if you presented any real issues to discuss. Instead you write things like this: "to refute any claim of design all YOU have to do is step up and demonstrate necessity and chance are all that is required."
That's your position in a nutshell. You can claim design for something, and unless science knows everything about how it got that way, including even to the origin of life itself, you win. Sorry Joe/Jim/John Paul, that's not how science works.
Dave:

Dave:

We claim design for something because that is what the science demonstrates.
However you claim things are not designed just by bald declaration.
IOW you are a scientifically illiterate moron and you have no idea how science works.
Joe wrote: IOW you are a scientifically illiterate moron and you have no idea how science works.
ReplyDeleteJoe, you can't even imagine how stupid you look when you spew stuff like that. Of course Hermagoras has a pretty good idea about the working of science. He has an excellent vantage point to see the process. You just look pathetic when you say stuff like that.
Seriously. Take Rich's advice. Stop typing up knee-jerk replies in half a minute. Register for a science course or two at your local university. Broaden your perspective. Take a writing seminar, for God's sake. Go fishing.

I wont get into the pettiness, but I would like to comment on the inclusiveness of ID. The definition is what it says it is: Some things are best explained by intelligent agency. This is very broad and yes, it does include someone who believes that human (or non-human) awareness is by intelligent agency, not materialism and random accident. So dont equivocate: Do you believe in intelligent agency or not?
