Preach it, Brother!
May. 17th, 2004 02:49 pmPZ Meyers is one of those good guys fighting the good fight. In a recent post, he pans a book review in Science of the pro-"intelligent design" book, Darwinism, Design, and Public Education, edited by Campbell and Meyer. His objection is to this sentence: "The volume's legal, pedagogical, and social arguments--- in contrast to much of its scientific discussion-- are nuanced and informed."
Meyers responds:
Amen.
Meyers responds:
I'm afraid that isn't good enough. This is a book purportedly about the teaching of science, and the science it advocates is crap. That crucial fact ought to be front and center in bold print at the heart of the review, not buried in a weak "tut, tut" somewhere in the midst of broad accolades for the author's mastery of the use of commas and paragraphs. That kind of tepid academic dithering is what's killing us in the marketplace of public opinion.
Get it out. Campbell and Meyer are wrong. They are using rhetoric and well-spoken lies to peddle dishonest crap to school children. When these frauds try to teach my kids that the sky is green, up is down, and by the way, the earth is only 6000 years old, I don't want one of the leading science journals to soft-peddle the stupidity of their cause to extol the elegance of their poesy. I want goddamned critical knives. I want furious rhetoric that puts these fraudulent clowns down. I want, just once, for a scientist to grit his teeth, make his muscles bulge, rip off his lab coat, and roar, "DARWIN SMASH!!!"
Amen.
My opinion on it...(Don't laughed) I'm dead serious.

Lets take word “Genetics”
Definition:[n] the branch of biology that studies heredity and variation in organisms
Heredity….Darwin Theories.
We inherit genes and by true fact most humanity does act like animals. Rage uncontrollable madness….”Anger Control” class are the equivalence of the Rabies shot.
If you look at the characteristic of animals and weigh them toward humanity you’ll find that Darwin Theory is not to far off. If you look at most religious faith, most of the do have a fantasy or try to base their persona towards the animal kingdom, why? We’re bunch of mammals.
What comes first the Egg or the Chicken….Here’s one DNA, RNA, and protein molecules. Hay what the hell does Mutation means? Why does my dog Essences have 2 extra toes or why is my son feet webbed. Why do we have twins that are joined…. Cells do have nucleus right? Each nucleus determines what?
Now if we inherited all these cells from our ancestries from our DNA, but yet we have our own minds to think with and we seldom look like our parents because our DNA has been alter and combine to be different individual than our parents. So I’m more towards the Darwin Theory, myself.
Most men and women are hairy beast that can be mistaken for Grizzly bears or MONKEY!
