See for yourself.

Best of luck (although I think you'd have to do quite a bit to get banned around here). That's some task, John.

Presently I am simply trying to see how many blogs and forums will ban me, thereby identifying themselves as hopeless, feckless ideologues. I have been doing famously of late. My current audience, aside from this one, consists entirely of "Sandwalk" (Larry hasn't noticed me yet, but he will probably ban me when he does),"brainstorms", my favorite forum and Terry Trainor's "Evolution, Creation or Both" forum. Incidentally, I am the one responsible for the "Both." Trainor is remarkable for his tolerance of ideas that are not in concert with his own, a rare feature among forum hosts. It is too bad others cannot do the same. Most forum heads are incorrigible egomaniacs with only one goal in mind which to establish their own perspective whatever it takes. Some of them even have hired goons like David Springer and Alan Fox to do their dirty work for them. I am sure I don't have to tell you which forums I have in mind. So you see "Telic Thoughts" is on trial too as far as I am concerned. Aren't I the arrogant one though? You bet I am. Just what does anyone intend to do about it? Ban me? Bannishment is the final proof that one has, as they say in the military - "reached out and touched someone." I love it so! "A past evolution is undeniable, a present evolution undemonstrable."

"reached out and touched someone."

Davison Sat, 13 Jan 2007 11:41:49 +0000 http://telicthoughts.com/?p=1182#comment-60990 Jack I see you intend to pretend I do not exist. That is the typical Darwinian reaction to any form of criticism of "the one true faith." That won't wash any more. Let the record show that Jack, whoever that really is of course, has no response to offer when formally challenged. That was the fate of everyone of my sources as well and that is the primary reason I have published my evolutionary papers. It is to restore those sources to the prominence they always have deserved as the real pioneers in the study of the greatest mystery in all of biological science - organic evolution. I repeat, for God only knows how many times now, that the Darwinian model has absolutely nothing to do with creative evolution beyond the elaboration of intraspecific varieties, all of which are nothing but evolutionary dead ends anyway. It is the greatest and most long lived hoax in the history of science, dwarfing both the Phlogiston of Chemistry and the Ether of Physics.

I have definitely offered an alternative "hypothesis" to the Darwinian "hypothesis." It is properly identified as a "PrescribedEvolutinary Hypothesis. Apparently you choose to ignore it.
