No Intelligence Allowed XXXVIII, Pharyngula IX and Panda's Thumb

Tues, 15 Apr 2008

In THREE days, the CRUSHING suppression of Big Science will begin to end - hope, learning, data, honesty, academic freedom, science and American values will return to this nation. THIS will be the end.


Ben Stein and Premise have done such an outstanding job of presenting the essence of the struggles of ID that no one could hope to express it more clearly or more adeptly: suppression, Communism, Marxism, the Discovery Institute, Creation, and Religion are all interwoven in this complex and deeply-moving attempt at film-making. Caroline Crocker and Ben Stein together express themselves in such a sticky, sweet melange of undeniable TRUTH that all viewers MUST realize the unity of their position. Such a match virtually shakes Evolution, Natural Selection and Darwinism to its very core.

In the end, there is no science unless it is God-born science, and there is no data unless it is God-born data. Anything falling short of this mark is not of the one True science, HIS Science.

Mathematically, the Du Gerdemain manifolds have unfortunately failed to provide the insight into reality that was needed to disprove evolution, but God will eventually guide me to the RIGHT theory and show to me how to find the CORRECT data. In no way will HE allow the HUMAN SLAG of the DECEIVER's blogs to influence my research.

Intelligent Design follows the truth back to the reality that God is the Designer of the Universe. Each intricate part of every living thing was crafted first in the Will of the Creator and is expressed in whole by His Omnipotence in the reality which is all around. The Designer's WILL is sufficient in itself and of itself.

Why do you Hell-seekers deny the Truth? Why do you HATE the LOVE of God? Has Satan promised you a corner office and a wonderful life? A Voluptuous Maiden? A Handsome Man? A Skeptical Woman? A Thinking Man? Money? Riches? Gold? Baubles? A Paltry Few Data Points? A Least Squares Fit? How cheaply have you sold you ETERNAL souls for such a meager sum? Your linear regression will take you STRAIGHT to HELL. Nudge the data here, get a professorship. Nudge the data there, become a fellow. Fudge the data a little more, gain a Chair. Expel a colleague, become a dean. It is time for the DATA-WHORES to repent their EVIL lies. Follow the TRUTH and REPENT. One should not doubt the seriousness of this situation. The WORD is that It will end badly for those who do.

REMEMBER the TRUTH in this FILM! It will be the only thing that SAVES you.

It is the Evolutionist's cowardly fears of the TRUTH that makes this moment so delectable. Ben Stein is a Rock! HIS strength brings the Unbelievers' lies into the light. May God bless, B.S.!

All atheistic attacks against Ben Stein and Expelled - a humble man with Ein stein's intellect adrift in a modern world of sin - are artless hacks.

Copyright infringement is such a weak case. Who - after all - designed the cell? Who gave Harvard permission to copy the cell's design and to put it on video? Did they pray over it? Were one to start on PAGE ONE, eventually one would understand. No copyrights apply to HIS works.

A Google bomb? Is that the best the vaunted avenger of atheism can mount? (If only Jesus were his sidekick...)

Rush Limbaugh continually advertises for the movie. PZ Myers - sir, you are no Rush Limbaugh!! What good is a google bomb against the towering intellect of Rush Limbaugh? He could defeat any of the weak arguments of Neo-Darwinian Post-Objectified Evolutionism with half his brain firmly tied behind his back.

The TRUTH is on the side of the Righteous, but it is not too late to see the light! God is LOVE. One can still accept JESUS Christ - it is not too late to abandon the selfish willfulness of intellect and desire.

Peace to you,

My Dear Sir:

Neither humor nor apology is an acceptable form of analysis, and both are best left to professionals at any rate.

Would it be that the author has not understood what was written as a critique of his emotional and foggy-headed reverie? Would he be a fundamentalist or a logical thinker?

Perchance, could he calculate the work needed to leave the Earth’s gravitational field? I think not! At least, he might come up short on the upper limit of the integral. Critical Thinking at its Finest, pshaw! Or would that be pwned?!

Such sloppy thinking will never dispel Expelled!

Dear Sir:

Ironically and above, gravity is maligned by your own hand. No discomfort is intended by the following: yet, it must be said. In particular, it was written:


“We can create a means by which we leave our planet, venture out beyond gravity’s reach,”

————————-
Gravity is a 1/(r^2) force in Newton’s approximation. It is better to define ‘beyond gravity’s reach’ more carefully in one’s own mind and not to use a florid phrase reflexively - if one would desire to dispel uncarefully formed ways of thinking.

————————-


“experiment in the weightlessness of space,….”

————————-
Would this condition obtain everywhere in space? If one were to switch on the engines of one’s spacecraft, there goes weightlessness by the equivalence principle. However, one is still in space and is not weightless. (What is sufficient and what is necessary? C.V. Boys could help, but I digress.) Actually, it is the virtue of the absence of gravity in free fall about which should be written. For clarification, one might, indeed, read “An Old Man’s Toy.”
————————-

So, I suppose that I will not be stepping off any towers today. B.S. rulez. Peace out.

HA! No press is bad press: Expelled marches on! Hallelujah!

Nibset is correct!

No matter how dim you accuse us of being. Simplicity is virtue, virtue is strength, and strength is simplicity! This logic is inescapable.

The Lord of the Hosts is invincible, timeless and omnipresent! The price of Darwinist sin is separation from the Lord - be aware of the price of vain pretenses to intelligence and hold to the one true faith!

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is gaining momentum! It is a veritable steaming juggernaut careening towards its charming, faithful audience and towards a profane COVEN of neo-Darwinian atheists.

PZ Myers - Expelled!

Clinton R. Dawkins - Withered!

In the end, Ben Stein is Victorious!

HA! Once again, the unholy assault of PZ Myers (et al) has been repelled! Yes, Myers hoist by his own petard! No more plundering and pillaging of the innocent and gullible for him! No more casting of doubts and funneling the Unbeliever's evolutionary lies. No more spinning untruths and half-facts into mere lamentable theories! After all, the only facts are the facts!!

HE has been relegated to an AUDIENCE of NONE at the margins of the Mall! He has been Expelled! He must now cease and desist from his arrogant SUPPRESSION of the debate! Does he not see the delicious irony of his situation?!

Poor, dull Darwinist! Poor man! One can lead an Intelligent Design to knowledge, but one cannot make it think!

P.S. The Institute of Theory’s annual toga party has been a great success. The turnout has been surprisingly good this year considering that the party fell on Good Friday.

I hope to see you all at next year’s toga party in our new facilities.

This year’s theme was Carpe Diem - and did we seize the day and night! HOO-RAH! Caligula would have blushed!

I daresay that you cannot handle the truth. Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed will never be exposed; this is because the META TAGS are for Jesus as you will clearly see if you peruse:

FIRST:

Here is grand proof of ID. Only a designer could have created such an irreducibly complex mechanism of static resistance in His creatures:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7287453.stm

Only by having Faith in design can one hope to have the Inspiration to understand it.

SECOND:

Re: #140 Corey Said:
>> “Mark Witt doth verbally vomited: “Thinking Man seems
>> to think that I am ‘typing in tongues’ or something like that…”
>>
>> Nah…we just think you’re a Poe or an idiot…”

I forgive you, Corey. It seems that you are an ironic caricature of yourself - please look in a mirror someday. It is clear that you know NOT what you type.

Sadly, you conjugated both “do” and “vomit” in different tenses in your attempt to belittle my writings and my faith.

Here is a little demonstration for you:

(correct form): ID does make sense as a theory.
(Corey form): ID does maked sense as a theory.
(’Old’ Corey form): ID doth maked sense as a theory.

(correct form): I do go to town.
(Corey form): I do went to town.
(’Old’ Corey form): I doth went to town.

Note the suppletive verb! To be unkind in such a manner is an understandable reaction, but only repentance will help your pathetic attempts at humor. Plaid monkeys!! Butter-flavored towels!! Bad Grammar!!

I forgive you, Corey.

>> Re: # John B. Sandlin Said:
>> 1) What is darwinism, exactly?

Darwinism is the belief that man evolved from apes, and apes from lower creatures like snails. Snails evolved from yeast. Yeast evolved from bacteria. Bacteria evolved from viruses. Viruses evolved from dirt, water and electrical stimulation. OF COURSE, this is all untrue since man was made in God’s image - so if man had to evolve, God would have had to evolve, too. However, God is perfect and did not need to evolve. Therefore, evolution is a lie and man was designed intelligently by the Creator of the universe about 6000 years ago.

>> 2) Who explicitly calls themselves darwinists?

The people who call themselves Darwinists are frustrated scientists who cannot crack the big mysteries and are thus forced to putter around in various labs with the hope that they will actually discover something meaningful. However, since they always declare the TRUTH to be invalid and unworthy of investigation, they are always shy of reality and meaning. These are those who name themselves Darwinists. Of course, the immoral also - like Adolph Hitler and Margaret Sanger - have adopted the Darwinist spirit if not its moniker. Is it a contest of how low can one go? There is a lower place coming up that none of these so-called rationalists will enjoy should they not repent.

>> 3) Why is it considered a religion?

It is not a religion. It is an immoral philosophy of sin by and for sinners who are unwilling to know the Scripture, but who would like to fall back on rationalism as a defense for their souls. There is only one true religion.

>> 4) How is it that such a tiny fraction of the
>> population can be in so much control of the rest?
>> (Atheists are by recent estimates about 1 to 15
>> percent of the U.S. population, depending on which
>> poll you accept)

How are the rich in control of the poor?

>> 5) Who, exactly, is Big Science?

Big Science is the group consisting of the NSF, NIH, WHO, NOAA, CDC, Merck, Pfizer, Glaxo-Smith-Kline, Planned Parenthood, all Universities especially Michigan, Stanford, MIT, Caltech, UW, Harvard, Carnegie-Mellon, Princeton, Columbia, UC Berkeley, Penn, Stony Brook, U Conn, Yale, Brown, UT Austin, and Harvey Mudd. It is funded by lamentably immoral activities and the propagation thereof.

>> 6) What was the question asked that seems to have
>> prompted Richard Dawkins’ extraterrestrial response
>> and what exactly was his full answer?

Who knows what motivates him? He would definitely like us to believe that it is logic, reason, empiricism, objectivity and dispassion. Clearly, Ben Stein aspires to something different and more important - freedom of speech and the unrelenting dialog of debate. Dawkins’ exact answers are relatively unimportant in the grand scheme of things, so I will not address them.

>> I haven’t commented on the accuracy or morality of the
>> film. I haven’t seen it. I have tried to answer
>> questions posed in the comments, or commented on the
>> content of the original blog posts. I think that some
>> parties on all sides of this issue have reacted in an
>> extreme and unproductive manner.

Of course, this is the nature of the debate, but it is important to HAVE the debate. The debate is never resolved, because only few in the debate have access to the Truth - the others deny the Truth at every turn. That is exactly why I decried the ‘Incessant Scribblers.’ They simply refuse to accept what is clearly true and have no reliable evidence against it.

I am not sure about “Frank”, and I don’t know what “Thinking Man” is. Thinking Man seems to think that I am ‘typing in tongues’ or something like that and seems to be quite similar to Shirakawasuna. They could be the same person, but who can know. Keith Eaton seems quite legitimate as do you. I once met Glen D. - that was shortly before his famous questioning of the evidence of the relativistic effects of gravity. (???) He seems to have a tenuous grasp of science. If the SSC had been built, I would have jokingly told him to go stand next to the beamline and self-induce some consciousness - he did not like me much. Luckily, I moved to NH.

About the Institute if anyone is interested: The Institute’s benefactors - a consortium of a few wealthy families who have interest in ID and would prefer to see the end of its suppression - donated a very significant sum. They are unabashedly creationists which is why I sometimes recite YEC philosophy. Nevertheless, when the Institute’s new research (based on the ideas of du Gerdemain and standard physics minus the corrections that are sure to come) is revealed, God willing, evolutionary theory and Darwinism will be simply swept aside.

With this mission, the Institute of Theory was founded - it is not in a basement as someone once jeered. The Institute is to be built off I-95 at 6xx Long Wharf Drive in New Haven. The purchase of the land should be completed soon, and the architectural designs too should be approved soon. So, hopefully, if the construction goes as planned, the Institute will be staffing a brand-new $30M complex with state of the art IT infrastructure and molecular biology labs later next year. There are several people whom the Institute would like to hire for this new facility, but we have not contacted them, as of yet. The positions will be very lucrative and it is expected that we will attract some top-notch scientists. When the IT department is settled, new hosting will be acquired and a completely new website for the Institute of Theory will be put in place and subsequently moved to the Institute. You truly have something to look forward to: an open house is planned.

>> I also believe there have been trolls and parody posts
>> from all sides, and straw-men galore. Worst of all are
>> the ninnies on all sides yelling, with fingers in ear,
>> “Na-na-na-na, I can’t hear you” (well, figuratively,
>> anyway).

This is just the nature of the internet. One has to get used to it.

Beyond this, you have to accept that funding is increasing and soon Darwinism will go the way of the Dodo.

Expelled HTML: The META Tags are FOR JESUS!!

Sat, 8 Mar 2008

I WILL NOT DENY Him THRICE - neither explicitly nor IMPLICITLY - for His Truth will prevail. It is clear that Ben Stein is suffering Peter's weakness - for Ben Stein (Stein 'stone, rock') is the modern Peter (petros 'stone, rock'); cf. John 18:15-27 (KJV).

IMPLICIT is the denial, yet no less is it a betrayal. HTML can be seen if one looks, so I now express myself to all in the message of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed!

Here is one instance of the burning TRUTH - (View -> Page Source):

[meta name="description" content="Ben blows the horn on Suppression! Science and Education has expelled smart new ideas from the classroom. What they forgot is that every generation has its Rebel_" /]

[meta name="keywords" content="Ben Stein, expelled, expelled movie, expelled film, intelligent design, atheism, atheist, creation, theism, theist, religion, Christian, bible, God, evolution, Darwin, Darwinism, science, Richard Sternberg, Carolyn Crocker, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Eugenie Scott, PZ Meyers, creationist, suppression, dissent, communism, Hitler, Marx, Marxism, natural selection, random mutation, Eugenics, academic freedom, meaning of life, origin of life, National Science Teachers Association, Discovery Institute, National Academy of Sciences, National Council of Churches" /]


Here is another instance of the unadorned TRUTH - (View -> Page Source):

[meta http-equiv="description" content="If you are a student or a leader, learn how you can support the premise of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. Let your voice be heard and get involved with an Expelled campaign." /]

[meta http-equiv="keywords" content="expelled, expelled movie, expelled film, expelled campaign, student, teacher, leader, youth group, bible group, intelligent design, atheism, atheist, creation, theism, theist, religion, Christian, bible, God, evolution, creationist, suppression, dissent, communism,Hitler, Marx, Marxism, natural selection, random mutation, Eugenics,academic freedom, meaning of life, origin of life, National Science Teachers Association, Discovery Institute, National Academy of Sciences,National Council of Churches"/]


It is only by bold assertion that the All-Encompassing Truth of Intelligent Design can be brought into the Light! As in the commandments, ONE SHALL NOT deny vainly the LORD's NAME!

Dear Sirs and Lady:

Since I am not sure whom to contact, I am writing to you; this is to indicate that to which your fine Institute's name is being linked. I know personally the ridicule that your Institute's efforts have faced as I have attempted to expound similar views regarding Intelligent Design. This below-mentioned attack is a vile attack that could hurt your credibility by association. PLEASE take this seriously - this was posted after I mentioned Dr. West's book on the site. There is no direct contact link to the maintainers of the blog,

(http://www.expelledthemovie.com/contactus.php):

Here in particular, Post #413:

This reader/poster linked into a pornographic site and the moderator did not catch it. Please advise the people who maintain the site that this has occurred. I was ABSOLUTELY shocked to find what was contained there. Your name is linked to "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" by the petition that was advertised - the one I signed regarding Academic Freedom. Please take care not to expose your friends to vile content. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Your work is truly amazing.

HA, HA, KAT!!! You make it sound like we are irrationally digging for fossils. Not likely given the highly-unlikely radioactive decay of the carbon-14 nucleus. There are answers in the Genesis, and there are also answers in Numbers. See Numbers 2,7-18 and watch the invalid arguments decay! How is that for science? Note the speed of the light in Numbers 2 Verse 9. Not the accuracy or precision that one would expect, is it!? This certainly came before Einstein! What is the perfected value of pi? Well, let us check…I Kings 7 Verses 23-26. Again, this is not the accuracy or precision that one should expect, is it!?

“…Big Ben Stein…”
