Random Quote

There are actually two ways to prove the non-existence of something. One way is to prove that it cannot exist because it leads to contradictions (e.g., square circles, married bachelors, etc.). The other way is, in the words of Keith Parsons, 'by carefully looking and seeing'. This is how we can know that such things as the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, the Abimonable Snowman, etc. do not exist.

Sal Cordova does it again

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?

What is it with these people and their flatulence jones? Did they ever get out of junior high?

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.
