Creationist Strongarm

[USincognito]

One of the reasons why I really despise what Creationists do (beyond ignoring facts and evidence and lying for the lord) is their strongarm tactics to quiet all opposition. They claim that both sides of the argument should be talked about or complain about secular agendas when Evolution is discussed but have no problem with their own agendas of pushing their ideas.

One good example is the forum that I had linked to here a while ago at http://tinyurl.com/2eoj4j (it won't let me post the real URL without messing it up so that'll have to do). I was strong armed out by being negatively repped and the last comment about where I was was responded by the following:

I'm still able to post there apparently, though I don't have any real inclination to. I notice Zorro never replied to my dismantleing of his claims or that the Zoologist ever responded to my partial critique of his posts.

I honestly don't think that 'zoologist' was one. I don't blame you for not having an inclination to, there's much more to talk about here and there isn't much opposition to facts.

Whether he was or not, he certainly didn't have much staying power other than quote mining and appeals to authority. It's pretty sad when a security guard with a BA in History seems to know more about recent research on a subject than someone who supposedly majored in.

I don't blame you for not having an inclination to, there's much more to talk about here and there isn't much opposition to facts.

I wish I hadn't come so late to the game over there after so many were burned out. Maybe there were some lurkers who actually took the links we posted.

One can hope.

That's a community site that doesn't focus mainly on these issues. Your not getting master debaters, your getting people that never even think about evolution or it's impact. Sure, they will discuss it, but I wouldn't say they are prepared to. It's not their life. They care more about the price of gas and the health of their grandmother than a some evolution theory. And that's the way it should be.

Wow... and they just showed how natural selection works to boot.

I know, I was kinda laughing about that. They have set up the selection pressure that any poster that questions biblical literalism will be selected against by way of bans. From this they have seen a marked rise post counts (allele frequency) for those that support their selection pressure unquestioningly and a decline in the post counts or outright bans for those that do not.


Natural selection and evolution in a population if I ever saw it.

So because Jeffrey Dahmer was an atheist I should send the cops to check out your freezer?

Since when do atheists say grace before eating their victims?
