I occasionally look in on William Dembski's ID blog, and it is depressingly stupid and impressively dishonest. The guy is a Christian zealot and is too cagey to admit that behind all his funhouse mirror philosphical disputation is the ideology of the inquisition. He was fired from Baylor (a Baptist university!) for being too right-wing.
These people are crazy and dangerous.
e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e!
Seems to me that Bush can serve as an argumnet against evolution (how could the human species have devolved to having him as one of its "supreme leaders") and equally as an argument against intelligent design: how could a loving creator have given us such a profoundly ignorant chimperor to govern us?
But human kind has overcome far worser threats than this little twat.
Time for a song:
On a sleepy endless ocean when the world lay in a dream
There was rhythm in the splash and roll, but not a voice to sing
So the moon shone on the breakers and the morning warmed the waves
Till a single cell did jump and hum for joy as though to say
This is my home, this is my only home
This is the only sacred ground that i have ever known
And should i stray in the dark night alone
Rock me goddess in the gentle arms of eden
Then the day shone bright and rounder til the one turned into two
And the two into ten thousand things, and old things into new
And on some virgin beach head one lonesome critter crawled
And he looked about and shouted out in his most astonished drawl
This is my home ...
Then all the sky was buzzin and the ground was carpet green
And the wary children of the woods went dancing in between
And the people sang rejoicing when the field was glad with grain
This song of celebration from their cities on the plain
This is my home ...
Now there's smoke across the harbor, and there's factories on the shore
And the world is ill with greed and will and enterprise of war
But i will lay my burden in the cradle of your grace
And the shining beaches of your love and the sea of your embrace
This is my home ...
(by the late Dave Carter)
This is actually nothing new, I believe the Resident is already on record as saying he doesn't have any truck with that evolution nonsense. I'd do a little research if I felt sufficiently motivated, but frankly, I'm starting to think that Chimpy is what's making me sick, and I should probably try to control further exposure.
Actually, I'd like to hear from the bums about this problem with the prevailing winds failing and a big die back of marine life out there on the left coast. What's the word from the front?
Huitzil-- These people are crazy and dangerous. Yeah, and they are running the country.
SMSS-- I know, I know.
Speechless-- He may seem like an anti-evolution argument writ large, but on the other hand, would God have made such a twisted, psychopathic imbecile?
CCorax-- I've never heard of that song before. I am going to have to check iTunes to see if I can at least hear a snippet of it. I love the words. Thank you.
Cervantes-- Interestingly, I first learned of the maritime problems plaguing the pacific from reading your blog. I just googled and read the article in the Boston Globe. It is a horror. Looks like the scientists are going to wait to see what happens next year, before they make a pronouncement about possible causes.
About sickness and this administration, I have noticed that I've been quite depressed these past few days. Bush is the new Toxic Shock.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Thanks!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Crap! Crap!! CRAP!!! C-R-A-P-P-P!!!!
With all of the lovely nature photos you post, I would have taken you for an animal lover, RD. Sorry, but I think it's unkind to group simians with a vile animal like George Bush.
Grrlscientist-- Your welcome.
Corndog-- I know.
Seavu-- I am an animal lover-- it's George Bush who denies his history. These photos show George his ancestry, in a way that he almost can't deny! I was going to put a caption under the photos that said, "methinks he doth protest too much."
Ha ha ha - Oh, those pictures are marvelous! Thanks for a laugh.
Bush once again displays his qualities as the quintessential American whose opinion need not be based on any knowledge at all, yet presented as fact. Unfortunately, he's also president, and in combination with his studied ignorance, that proves to be increasingly dangerous.
