He's ready and champing at the bit to take on all the deluded evolutionists. Why do all the IDists sound alike?

It's unusual that he's appended creationist to intelligent design (IDC). This is generally out of character for most IDists I'm aware of, as they go to great lengths (at least officially) to avoid the term. Perhaps he's only recently encountered ID and Dembski, and hasn't yet adopted the party line.

He has it right, though. ID is creationism.

Well, he'll learn. I wonder what it is about being an IDist that makes people so perishingly long-winded, though.

It must be a gift. For the production of massive, impenetrable clouds of obfuscatory verbiage and formalistic flummery, Dembski has no equal. I suspect this may be the very thing which many ID neophytes find appealing. There must be something in all that prodigiously prolix palaver.

Rufus, or whoever else is at CForums, you should invite him here.

They think they've got it all figured out.... until they meet scigirl.

It seems like most creationists don't go to great lengths to avoid the term, and actively use ID to put an intellectual face on their beliefs.

It's like a geek who tries to hang out with the cool kids on the playground, not realizing that the reason the cool kids are cool is specifically because they don't hang out with him.

NOOOO! I'm trying to actually pass anatomy!

Ahh, forget it. I can just fail medical school, and write a book on the "Lie of Evilution" and make millions like Dr. Hovind!! If he didn't need med school to get that degree, than why should I?

Scigirl,

The guy is a typical creationist who thinks that ID proves that kinds exists. He will be rather easy work.

Well, when he said he'd started a thread at another board that had half a gazillion responses, I though for a minute that it was Vanderzyden. But I gather this character isn't from California, so it's someone else. Wonder which board he was talking about.

Bah, he's nothing compared to the tard we have posting over on theforce.net forums.

Darth_Brooks is his username. He was getting fed bs from Frank Sherwin of the ICR in a thread we had going on evolution. Peez was over there debating him for a while. You can check a few of his posts here in the Big Bang vs Creation thread:

<a href="http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=8124454&page=11" target="_blank">Big Bang vs Creation</a>

Here's a lovely quote from him from the above thread:

Faith in a naturalistic explanation is certainly foolish if a Creator is involved, as that explanation would be dead wrong.
