CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

*Yawn*
Same old bluster with no substance from the creationist side again.
Maybe they'll have something in 2021.

The scientific community quails before this anonymous comment on a blog. Surely it will all come crumbling down now.

LOL Not this tired stunt again. And someone needs to tell the Disco Toot that science isn't done by polling or petition. It's done by evidence.
Maybe, after 30 years, they could finally produce some.

A Disco Toot blog entry defends one of their shining students? Shocking!

Skepticism is the default scientific position, even on established theories. Darwinian evolution has been modified and extended considerably since first proposed and that continues.
Rational skepticism is acceptable; arguments from incredulity are fallacious.

Actually, the comment in question doesn't even defend Behe. Behe accepts common descent and that life has changed genetically over time. The commenter posted things that would be rejected by both Behe and his critics.

So no, you don't want to discuss anything in that comment. It's okay -- I realize you don't actually know anything about this subject.
Something tells me that my cognitive skill set is a bit better suited to evaluating claims about evolution than yours.

Consensus is not a synonym for "a bunch of people's opinions." It is driven by the evidence. Consensus means the conclusion drawn from all available evidence that has been published. Scientists may have differences of opinion on details and implications of published findings, but the consensus is still agreed upon by those who study the topic based on the available evidence. That the consensus might change with new evidence is a feature, not a bug.

Those are the facts.
These are creationist organizations that pretend to be scientific, while they are literally just religious institutes.
Their reason for existance is LITERALLY to pretend to be scientific.
That's why they organized their own "journals". Because no actual sientific venue would publish their religious nonsense.
They call themselves the "biologic institute", but what they do has nothing to do with biology.
It's dishonesty to boot. Literally.
And you are one of their many victims. Conned. Trolled. Misleaded.
There's a reason why they "publish" their religious nonsense in their own religious circles. And the reason is that no actual scientific journal would accept their religious bs.
Do you think anything produced by the DI is worth squat?
