Welcome To The
OMNIOLOGICAL SOCIETY'S
California Institute of Omniology Web Site

This web site is "Dedicated to Academic Freedom", the free and open critical review, commentary, scholastic and educational research of theoretical and empirical science.

The California Institute of Omniology
holds as fact that all theories of Origins, lacking empirical verification, are metaphysical and religious in nature. Therefore, they require and deserve equal examination, evaluation, and, critical review in the spirit of true academic freedom in science.

The California Institute of Omniology
also holds to the fact that educators and students alike are biased towards one view or another of Origins and other fields of science.
In a free society high standards of academic freedom include the expectation that students are to be taught "how" to think for themselves, not "what" they should think.
Therefore, we support a students "Right To Know" an instructor's academic background, religious beliefs, and philosophical discipline.
This information could be essential in understanding and evaluating instructor's teachings on any given subject.

"WARNING"
1. THIS WEB SITE CONTAINS LARGE GRAPHIC FILES THAT MAY TAKE SOME TIME TO LOAD.
IF ANY PAGES STALL IN LOADING, CLICK THE "REFRESH" ICON AT THE TOP OF YOUR WEB PAGE. THIS SHOULD SOLVE ANY PROBLEMS.

2. DUE TO THE PARADIGM SHIFT THIS SITE SUPPORTS, THE INFORMATION YOU FIND HERE WILL BE INTELLECTUALLY STIMULATING, AND MAY EVEN BE EMOTIONALLY DISTURBING TO YOUR CURRENT WORLD VIEW.

3. IF YOU LIKE RIDING THE ROLLER COASTER OF "ACADEMIC FREEDOM"
THIS IS THE SITE FOR YOU.

ok. I'll bite. Where did that shit about the jaw fragments being found miles apart come from? I've heard of the knee joing being found miles away (I know that's false) but I don't recall hearing the same thing about the jaw fragments.

Their comments on the bomardieer beelte (and pe vs. graudualism for that matter) speak for themselves

"Biologists had been expecting to see something that would look like a primitive ancestor to the middle Cambrian animal called Pikaia, formerly promoted as the world's earliest chordate. Rather than finding evidence that Pikaia had a lesscomplex ancestor, Chen instead found a chordate that already displayed many vertebrate characteristics 15 million years earlier."

SOmehow that is supposed to demolish evolutionary thoery and support biblical creationism?

Tell me that is a spoof site. They can't even spell Einstein properly in a quote.

Sauce for the goose. This sort of thing could give creationism a bad name.

I like this bit:
Quote:
ON THIS WEB SITE, I TOO USE MY EXPERIENTIAL AND EMPIRICAL "EYE WITNESS TESTIMONY" PLUS "ILLUSTRATED DRAWINGS" TO MAKE MY CASE FOR "VERIFYING" THE EXISTENCE OF MAN TRACKS WITH DINOSAUR TRACKS. BUT, IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE, I ALSO USE THE EMPIRICAL SCIENTIFIC METHOD OF MANY PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCES, C-14 TEST RESULTS AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH REPORTS FROM INDEPENDENT SOURCES EXCLUDED ON BROTHER KUBANS' WEB SITE.
and this:
Quote:
THE WORK THESE MEN HAVE DONE IN THE PAST AND ARE CONTINUING TO DO TODAY, IN MY OPINION, IS ONE OF THE GREATEST THREATS TO THE MACRO-EVOLUTIONARY PARADIGM. ANOTHER IS THE C-14 DATING OF DINOSAUR BONES, HUMAN REMAINS AND ORGANIC MATERIAL THROUGHOUT THE FOSSIL RECORD.

I BELIEVE THE TIME HAS COME FOR HONEST EMPIRICAL SCIENTISTS AND RESEARCHERS TO JOIN TOGETHER AND SETTLE THIS ISSUE ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Perhaps it is time for scientists who really understand science to settle this issue once and for all.(Oops! already been done!)

BTW, every time I see a site with that clown Carl Baugh as a star attraction, I hear <a href="http://www.acct.freeserve.co.uk/midi/thunder.mid" target="_blank">circus music</a> in my head.
