Profile

Afarensis is a 3.5-2.8 million year old hominin from the Kada Hadar member of the Hadar formation in the Middle Awash, Ethiopia. He is approximately 41 inches tall, weighs approximately 60 pounds and has a cranial capacity of a whopping 410 cc (approximately). Afarensis is currently considered to be transitional between apes and humans and displays some traits of both. Since he spends a lot of time on the couch watching monster movies, some observers question whether he is an obligate biped (although no one has observed him climbing a tree). He also has a blog called Transitions:The Evolution of Life His previous blog can be found here.

Aphorisms

"Loyalty to petrified opinion never broke a chain or freed a human soul..."
Mark Twain

"Ideology is a poor substitute for rational thought..."
Afarensis

"It isn't faith that makes good science...it's curiosity"
Prof. Jacob Barnhardt, The Day the Earth Stood Still

"This man wishes to be accorded the same privilege as a sponge. He wishes to think!"
Clarence Darrow, Inherit the Wind

"...I become fearful when I see people substituting fear for reason..."
Klaatu, The Day the Earth Stood Still

"I want you to grab life by its little bunny ears and get in its face..."
The Simpsons

"This is between me and the vegetable..."
Seymour Krelborn, The Little Shop of Horrors

"There are bad laws and cruel laws and the people who enforce them are both bad and cruel..."

"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." Jean- Luc Picard, Star Trek: The Next Generation

"But the limit of tolerance for these human foibles is obtained when the proponent of a questionable scientific doctrine endeavors to maintain it against all possible odds by misrepresentation, misinformation and suppression of contradictory data, and by insinuating unfairness in opponents of his views."
Franz Weidenreich, Morphology of Solo Man

"Man stands alone in the universe, a unique product of a long, unconcious, impersonal material process with unique understanding and potentialities. These he owes to no one but himself, and it is to himself that he is responsible. He is not the creature of uncontrollable and undeterminable forces, but his own master. He can and must decide and manage his own destiny."
George Gaylord Simpson, Life of the Past

Yeah he's the Dick to the Dawk to the phd, he's smarter than you he's got a science degree! Yeah he's the Dick to the Dawk to the phd, he's smarter than you he's got a science degree!

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
Frederich Nietzsche

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
The Declaration of Independence

Expelled Exposed: The Website Evolves

Category: Intelligent Design
Posted on: April 15, 2008 7:02 PM, by afarensis, FCD

The Expelled Exposed Website has evolved into an excellent resource for those who wish to combat the vile and despicable tactics used in Expelled. I was somewhat shocked to see that the Expelled Exposed Website linked to my post taking down Well's centriole nonsense when the Expelled Exposed Website could have used any number of takedowns by Ian Musgrave, this one for example. It is not my job, however, to second guess the makers of the Expelled Exposed Website, so I will feel flattered that my post was picked and gratefully thank the makers of the Expelled Exposed Website.

Update 1: Shelly asks if there is a website where one can go to Expose Expelled. Well, Shelly, the answer to your question is that, yes, there is indeed a website called Expelled Exposed that Exposes Expelled. It is all about debunking the claims in Expelled. I am sure if you went to , you could find out Expelled Exposed you could find out the latest news...

Comments

Hmmm... I don't think you have enough links to the Expelled Exposed Website, afarensis.

I pointed this out to another scibling, but if you wrap the link around just the word Expelled and not the whole phrase, so it looks like this :Expelled Exposed, the attempt at a google bomb is more likely to associate the simple word Expelled with the Expelled Exposed website...

;-)
but I see that the Expelled Exposed website seems to have buckled under the pressure...

If only there were some website where I could find rebuttals to Expelled's misleading claims...

Oh you naughty afarensis. If anyone stumbles across the Expelled exposed site (not easy, I know), they might well find this at the top of the page:

The full ExpelledExposed.com site is experiencing particularly high traffic at the moment. We are working to resolve this problem as quickly as possible.

Imagine what would happen to poor Wes if people linked to the site.
