Random Quote

It is telling that Craig wants to justify his use of the appeal to consensus. And in doing so, he appeals to a false analogy. In a court of Law, or in the certtification of doctors, lawyers, etc., we may have to go with the verdict of the majority since we have not the leisure to master the subject ourselves. This, in turn, is because we do not have all the time in the world before we must return a verdict, choose a surgeon, etc. We have to make a choice, and the voice of the consensus tips the balance. But it only seems to us that we must take the word of the mass in biblical discussions if we think that here, too, the decision is a matter of practical, even life-or-death choice, and this is not the case in an intellectual consideration of complex issues.

Robert M. Price, "By This Time He Stinketh"

Sal Cordova does it again

Category: Creationism
Posted on: April 4, 2007 11:05 PM, by PZ Myers

The poor fellow has an irresistible quote-mining reflex, unable to leave even the most innocuous statements alone. After his deplorable puppy-killing slander, he's trying to slime Darwin again, and coming out looking like a pathetic wanker himself.

Garth: what else is there to do? Every time a liar and a fraud is there, be right on top of him and don't relent.

We'll be in trouble once Sal gets into Darwin's letters and notebooks. Look at his murderous plans upon the return of the Beagle:

...I shall annihilate some of my friends...

Or his obsession with lesbians, apparently with racist overtones:

very many dykes: some of them white...
...yet I am quite in doubt concerning the nature of these dykes.

Is it just me, or are the people at Discovery Institute in a sad state of pathetic desperation if the only things that they can do to counter evolution nowadays are to falsely portray Charles Darwin as a flatulent puppy-kicker, and use a factually incompetent neurosurgeon like Dr Egnore as their new figurehead?

Sal is so worried about Darwin, I think he should be incensed at James Dobson of Focus on the Family as he describes at length his abuse of his little dog in his book, "The Strong Willed Child." He beats the little dachshund with a belt.
This Dobson is a total whackjob.
