I don't recall seeing any posts or comments from him in the last week or so, which seems unlike him.

Could it be your arguments have convinced Mike there's nothing to ID?

Has anyone heard from Mike Gene lately?

I hope everything's okay.

Actually that pretty much just makes him a mainstream Muslim if what we see in the news and the things they say is anything to go by.

What I see happening is that "science" is going to become the new propaganda tool of those elements within society that are essentially becoming fascistic and trying to increase control. It will include things like forced immunizations and forced taking of pharmaceuticals. Those who don't go along will be branded psychologically abnormal or malevolent, and will lose their civil rights and probably their children.

"We evolutionists have built this imposing sandcastle of Darwinism grain by grain, bucket by bucket, upon the shores of History. But now the hoodlum Creationism, with its ATV of Intelligent Design, threatens to plow down our towering edifice.

Creationism and other forms of "fundamentalism and extremism" lead to a "total rejection of science", which is "one of the most serious threats to human rights and civic rights." It makes "attacks of utmost virulence on human rights" and on "the very core of the knowledge that we have built up little by little".

To this one published in Eugenics Review, 1931 attacking Pope Pius IX after he condemned eugenics…

""¦ the Pope delivers an uncompromising ultimatum not only to eugenists, but to all who seek to order their own affairs in the light of science and human judgement. It is a defiant return to mediaevalism"¦ at the beginning of this survey it was written advisedly that the Encyclical was a return to the Middle Ages. Its mediaevalism is carried so far as to ignore all anthropology, all history not contained in Genesis, and to attack not only the practice of eugenics, but also the underlying biological bases. Not only is current biology specifically attacked, but an onslaught is made on the whole texture of science and the liberty of thought"¦
