Ever get frustrated arguing with Darwinists about the illogic of their theory? It’s like arguing with Ma & Pa Kettle about the finer points of arithmetic. I’m sure you’ll agree that the following video captures the dynamic of this debate (the only difference is that Ma & Pa Kettle are a lot more personable than most Darwinists).

Take Ma & Pa's way of doing math, mix it with some scientific jargon, cite a bunch of references (mostly from darwinist gurus) and you'll get a wonderful Darwinian research paper.Farshad

Considering how illogical Darwinism is, the agreement by most people that Darwinism should be taught alongside ID is actually a generous concession. In debating Darwinists, I get the impression that most of them are conceited and very disdainful of the opposition. They frequently call their opponents stupid and ignorant. Darwinists generally regard themselves as the best informed and most logical people in any discussion about the controversy. This disdain for the opposition extends to discussions of other subjects as well, like discussions about law. It seems that Darwinists can never make a rebuttal without putting someone down.Larry Fafarman

Bill you OBVIOUSLY don't get it!!! The point is not whether or not 5x5= 25 but that through 14 small successive, random changes the 5 evolved in the 25. The fixity of mathematical principles are only as valid as they support the over-arching and unifying theory of Darwinism, which transcends ALL scientific fields (including psychology and Feng-shui). Religiously biased lunatic... ID'ists would have the world believe that mathematical probability and that stupid explanation filter thingy have some bearing on the argument. The point is it's just not good science.! And I should know my aunt in the NCSE has got more back hair than Godzilla, now there's real evolution for ya. Sheesh, I better garner ACLU support to have your degrees revoked.lucID

Looks like some of my math. Word equals God x God (pure math) Letting a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, etc, mathematically: God x God x God ..........................= 47,900,160 70 seven fold x 99 x love................ = 47,900,160 God x 1260 x love ........................= 47,900,160 10 % of heaven seven fold x God x G.......= 47,900,160 10 % of 1x2x3x4x5x6x7x8x9x10x11x12....... = 47,900,160 704 x 54 x 1260….….….…….................. = 47,900,160 iron (9 x 18 x 15 x 14) x 1408 (2 x God)..= 47,900,160 God x G x O x D x (God + God + God ).....= 47,900,160 47,900,160 minus (Jesus squared x one)....= 47,160,900 Jhn 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Word (22,680) x 2112 (3xGod) .......... = 47,900,160Zero

Dr. Dembski, you are a mathemetician, correct? How could you possibly believe that 25 / 5 is anything other than 14. Certainly it is your religious bias that causes you to conclude that 25 / 5 = 5. Were there not five stones in David's pouch when he faced Goliath? 25 / 5 = 14 is as established as gravity itself, ask any judge.bFast

That would be hilarious if it did ring so true, except Ma & Pa Kettle were more logical.teleologist
