If you watch the Discovery Institute, you’ll discover they’re constantly playing games, trying to find that winning PR technique that will persuade the hapless ignorati. Some of them are effective, even if dishonest: “irreducible complexity” injected all kinds of misleading chaos into the brains of their followers, and “teach the controversy” was a potent slogan. They’ve been flailing about in recent years, trying to emphasize their pretense of scholarliness with tripe like West’s efforts to use pseudohistory to blame Darwin for Hitler, or Meyer’s farcical, long-winded distortions of modern biology in Signature in the Cell. Those haven’t worked so well.

Etc.

A friend thinks Myers watches too many political debates on TV.

Baroque accompanies Michael Denton’s new book, Evolution: Still a Theory in Crisis (2016)

Denton: the traditional notion that life is an integral part of the natural order has found renewed support in 20th-century physics and cosmology

I'm banned from Myers blog so NOT playing games! Its serious attempts to persuade. What does game playing mean after all this time in these matters? NOT PR! Its education and advocacy. Saying your opponents stuff is PR is just PR . Really! NOT hapless ignorants! Its the smarter people who pay attention to these things. Smarter kids too. Is anyone who things ID/YEC a "HI". What if converted to evo side. Sudden;t not "HI"? this is high school putdowns. IC and Teach/controversy are ptent points because the the concepts are very potent. The reply's are not potent. Because the concepts oppopsed are not potent. Discovery does not flail about but boxes with potent jabs. The boxer is sweating but doing fine and this program is another jab. Why doesn't evolution thumpers make videos and books with potent jabs. I think evolutionism is the "sick man of old 1800's "science " " If ID/YEC was on poor intellectual foundations then they should of been knocked out long ago. In reality every year is a embarrassment of riches. Hey Mr Myers unban me on your blog. If you can't deal with a easy going Canuck, with poor poor grammar/spelling, then your preaching to old choir. On the wrong side of history. Strange for these left wingers eh!!Robert Byers_{February 15, 2016

LOL. We should all join in and bash PZ. Being the malignant narcissist and psychopath that he is, I'm sure he reads everything that's written about him. Hopefully, this thread will infuriate him to the point of sending him into a coma or something. ahahaha...AHAHAHA...ahahaha...Mapou_{February 15, 2016

Re Mapou at 1 and Seqenenre at 2. I thought PZ had always been a senile old fool. The fact that he has a job at a university shows only that he has a job at a university, not that his extremely biased pronouncements on everything he hates are true. He's not noted for acuity when he speaks on ID, creationism or religion.TimT_{February 15, 2016

“irreducible complexity” injected all kinds of misleading chaos into the brains of their followers"
And yet PeeZee and his ilk can't tell us the details of how something like a flaggelum came to be developed by the Blind Watchmaker over time, Nick Matzke's retarded attempt notwithstanding.mike1962_{February 15, 2016

PZ is the one who is flailing about. And that PZ is an associate professor shows the sad state of our education system.Virgil Cain_{February 15, 2016

PZ Myers is now a senile old fool. Someone should send him a one-year supply of pullups.Mapou_{February 15, 2016
