Look's like we have another contestant from Cobb County. This one is a chiropractor.

Quote:
DEAR EDITOR:
In his letter published in the Oct. 2 MDJ, Kenneth Buxton assailed
the Rev. Dr. Nelson Price for using a source that "attracts fringe
academics who agree with the fundamentalist views of creationism" and
then later says there is no need for "Christian science" vs. "secular
science."

First, I would remind Mr. Buxton that science is science. Period. And
evolution is not science. It is one attempt to explain the origin of
man that merely sounds scientific to the unsophisticated and
unthinking mind. In fact, given the holes and gaps in the "proof" of
evolution, absolute adherence in its tenets requires nothing less
than total faith in something unseen and unproven.

Regarding "fringe academics," I would remind Buxton that all
knowledge is advanced on the "fringe."

Just like a river's course is changed by the force of its "fringe"
pushing against its boundaries, so too is the body of scientific
knowledge.

No boundaries are ever expanded in the mainstream, especially in the
realm of science.

Many have come to faith in God and acceptance of the creation simply
because it makes more sense than evolutionistic scientism. "Real"
science has yet to either prove evolution or disprove the creation.

From an area paper:

Quote:
Creationism does just fine on its own

In response to Tim Hollingsworth's letter "Evolution or creation? How about both" that appeared in the Sept. 20 letters:

"What is the difference between "faith" and "wishful thinking"? According to Hollingsworth's letter it looks like there is no difference. You imply in your letter that little evidence for creation provides the opportunity to demonstrate "faith." In other words, "Faith is that which one employs when all reason is against him." With that view of faith, the best thing that could happen to a Christian is that the bones of Jesus be found in a grave. Then the Christian could really demonstrate "faith." This is not what the Christian Bible calls faith. Rather, faith is an act of trust based on being convinced of the truth because of evidence. It is putting trust into that which I have reason to believe is true.

Another question: "What would qualify as evidence for creation?" How about a fossil record that reveals a sudden explosion of life followed by stasis? Or how about a discovery that the simplest cell contains more complexity and information than the Encyclopedia Britannica? Or a law of thermodynamics that opposes order when we plainly observe a universe that is highly ordered? Does any of this qualify as evidence?

Evolution is a "theory in crisis," to quote the title of atheist Michael Denton's book. Why marry it with creation? The evidence shows creation stands just fine on its own.

Suggested reading by authors: Jonathan Wells, Michael Behe, Phillip Johnson.

Ignorance: 11. Second law of thermodynamics for fuck's sake!
Writing inability: 6. Eh, I've seen much, much, much worse.

Originally the word liberal meant social conservatives(no govt religion--none) who advocated growth and progress---mostly technological(knowledge being absolute/unchanging)based on law--reality... UNDER GOD---the nature of GOD/man/govt. does not change. These were the Classical liberals...founding fathers-PRINCIPLES---stable/SANE scientific reality/society---industrial progress...moral/social character-values(private/personal) GROWTH!

Evolution...Atheism-dehumanism---TYRANNY...

Then came the post-modern age of switch-flip-spin-DEFORMITY-cancer...Atheist secular materialists through ATHEISM/evolution CHANGED-REMOVED the foundations...demolished the wall(separation of state/religion)--trampled the TRUTH-GOD...built a satanic temple/SWAMP-MALARIA/RELIGION(cult of darwin-marx-satan) over them---made these absolutes subordinate--relative and calling/CHANGING all the... residuals---technology/science === TO evolution via sclock science...to substantiate/justify their efforts--claims...social engineering--PC--atheism...anti-God/Truth RELIGION--and declared a crusade/WAR--JIHAD--INTOLERANCE/TYRANNY...against God--man--society/SCIENCE!!



What's this guy's score? I am having trouble finding any sentence structure whatsoever.

I first met f.Christian a few months ago over at Free Republic on one of their creation/evolution threads. I initially thought that he was a troll trying to make the creationists look even dumber than they already are, but I soon realized that he was a real creationist with some SERIOUS mental problems. He's posted his jibberish on literally hundreds of threads but still hasn't been banned (I think the freepers feel sorry for him).

Take a look at his freeper <a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/profile?u=35711" target="_blank">profile page.</a> His rantings on the right side of the page (scroll down) are really bizarre. The scary thing is that he claims to have a son!

Here's another of his posts about evolution:

Quote:


Creation/God...REFORMATION(Judeo-Christianity)---secular-govt.-humanism/SCIENCE---CIVILIZATION!

here's one for you guys. These are excerpts from a letter received by Dr. Saladin. I don't suppose he'd mind if it were shared here:
Quote:
Mr. Saladin

"Scientists are the most stupid human beings on earth. They do not believe in evolution, they just don't believe in God. ...That's heathenism and the unforgivable sin and leads to devil possession. When a person becomes devil-possessed they behave as you do and think as you do.

"...You just teach at Georgia College and have a good time with other devil possessed professors. I feel very sorry for the students who are under your tutoring. Millions of small children must be rescued from the evolution-Communistic-Russian move now underway because of people like you.

"...You don't really believe that silly monkey business. You and your fellow evolutionists are just so mean you're devil possessed."
judge that!

I've often thought highly of my ability to translate apparent garbage to something comprehensible to the sane mind...This guy puts all the other guys to shame. I can get an idea of what he's saying, but I can't give an accurate translation...sorry.


Incomprehensibility: 9.0 --- If you try really hard, you can detect some kind of meaning in this.

Writing inability: --- Amazing...he got most of the words right!

Arrogance: 7.0 --- This person claims that evolution destroyed moral foundations and Jefferson's Wall; this isn't an entirely unreasonable state of opinion, actually, though I don't endorse it (momentous findings of science can, without question, be badly abused, but it is people who do this. No scientific principle is inherently good or evil). I find it highly offensive, though, that he calls evolution a blasphemy of science and claims, further to his discredit, that the claims are fraudulant and biased (the "work of Satan" routine, and all that rubbish).

Ignorance: 8.0 --- I base this mostly on his lack of sentence structure and his claim that a scientific principle can cause social harm (again, it is people who do evil. Science is but a tool). He gets one extra point for his claim that evolutionary science is based in ideology; nothing could be further from the truth, for reasons I needn't mention.
