Wrong job

Oliver Kamm is no scientist and is talking complete bullshit about what he calls evolution being an established fact. It is not a fact, it is an ideology. It is a very flawed way to look at the evidence: I have not seen a single Darwinian hardliner who knew a thing about ethology and animal social behaviour and their role in species survival, for instance, and Darwin himself was quite astonishingly stupid on this matter. You yourself are even less of a scientist, and your and Mr.Kamm's attitude amounts to an order of silence to anyone who disagrees with the materialist ideology that disguises itself as a scientific theory.

Entertaining to see loony Creationists spilling from the woodwork the moment Kamm says anything even remotely sensible. It was just the same with Hitchens and Falwell. No, Kamm isn't a scientist. But evolution is supported by the overwhelming scientific consensus -- that is, tens of thousands of appropriately qualified scientists. "A very flawed way to look at the evidence", indeed. Nothing like the tax fraudster Kent Hovind and his plesiosaur "find", or "Answers in Genesis" and their babbling, nursery school understanding of thermodynamics. On the one hand, over a century of accumulated scientific evidence sifted by experts; on the other, a gaggle of witless home-schoolers waving their arms as if misunderstanding science is the same as discrediting it. You do realise such crackpot irrationalism damages your more saleable political ideology?

Stuart A: you talk like a creep and a thug. "Scientific consensus" is the thing that anthropocentric global warming fanatics rely upon. It does not exist in a sane world and when it does it is usually damaging. Scientific consensus stampeded the Church - which had nothing to do with it - into trying Galileo; it was all the leading thinkers in Italy who wanted him shut up. Scientific consensus followed Haeckel and Schallmeyer into racism and eugenicism. Scientific consensus is now being invoked by Al Gore. I will not tell you to shut your trap, since you are a thug and thugs must needs bluster; but I shall tell you that you are exactly the kind of person who relies on consensus - consensus of any kind. Oh, and FOR THE RECORD and in no uncertain terms, I am no creationist. I just reckon that if creationists had not existed, the "scientific consensus" would have had to invent them; they need, after all, an enemy.
