CLASSIC CIRCLE JERK!

CIRCULAR REASONING
circulus in demonstrando

......​

Description: A type of reasoning in which the Proposition is Supported by the Premises, which is Supported by the Proposition, creating a Circle in reasoning where NO Useful information is being shared.​

​

This Fallacy is often quite Humorous.​

......​

Example #2:​

​

The Bible is the Word of God because God tells us it is... in the Bible.​

​

Explanation: This is a very serious circular argument on which many people base their entire lives.​

This is like getting an e-mail from a Nigerian prince, offering to give you his billion dollar fortune -- but only after you wire him a “good will” offering of $50,000. Of course, you are skeptical until you read the final line in the e-mail that reads “I, prince Nubadola, assure you that this is my message, and it is legitimate. You can trust this e-mail and any others that come from me.” Now you know it is legitimate... because it says so in the e-mail.​

To take a line of fossils and claim that they represent a lineage is not a scientific hypothesis that can be tested, but an assertion that carries the same validity as a bedtime story—amusing, perhaps even instructive, but not scientific.”― Henry Gee, In Search of Deep Time: Beyond the Fossil Record to a New History of Life

We already know how you feel; however, don't evilutionuts (I did this to mimic your comic relief) do the very same thing. They reject a CREATOR because HE is immaterial. They have built theories of exclusion. They ignore written history. They ridicule personal character rather than stick to the data and interpretation of the data.

Unless you believe in the gods of competing religionists, you may have evilutionist tendencies.

All seriousness aside, I think religionists of all stripes and caliber of weapons object to science requiring a standard of demonstration. There is nothing that separates your alleged gods from any of the other versions of gods. Your immaterial gods are no better demonstrated from any of the other immaterial gods.

Science, on the other hand, has methods to test claims and assertions provided those claims and assertions do not rely on an a priori commitment to belief in supernaturalism. Obviously, when you’re dealing with infallible humans, there will be those who for various reasons will attempt to “fudge” the data. The difference that separates appeals to supernaturalism as opposed to rational discourse is that science will peer review.

If you don’t see the creation ministries as the worst offenders of dishonestly manipulating data to suit their agenda, you should read the “Statement of Faith” that is a part to these creation ministries.

No you idiot.
You of course know nothing about evolution or even basic science.
plants and animals of similar age are found at same levels of strata worldwide and never found with creatures that aren't.
(the 70mya K-T/meteor impact being marker worldwide)
When Isotopic dating came along like Carbon (C14) dating it just CONFIRMED Evolutions dates.
Now many longer-lived isotopes are used to Confirm dates.

And I might add, we have overlapping tree ring dating chains of 10,000 years or more. Older than YEC's 6000 years, and even YOU could understand tree rings. No?

As for tree rings going back 10,000 years. Why not further? Let's consider the reality that since GOD created trees, HE would have created some fully grown. Adam and Eve likely looked like a fully mature and healthy couple of 30 years old. So, if GOD created a fully mature human, why wouldn't GOD create some fully mature trees for man to wander among. And as such, certainly they would have possessed rings. The prototype would mimic those that grew later. Now, the interesting question would be if the rings of those trees with "10,000" year old rings differ in appearance structurally from those that would have grown and matured after the initial CREATION. Might they be more uniform, healthier looking. That would be interesting research. Of course idiots like me like to think outside the preconceived academic box.

It is an attempt that, given the lack of evidence, is doomed to failure. Wells cites Henry Gee, chief science writer for the prestigious science journal, Nature: To take a line of fossils and claim that they represent a lineage [from ape to man] is not a scientific hypothesis that can be tested, but an assertion that carries the same validity as a bedtime story—amusing, perhaps even instructive, but not scientific."

Nothing wrong with Wells' statement. He says that it can't be tested. My complaint is we do not see bipedalism in monkeys today.

There is no Indication that man descended from apes. The ''man from ape'' claim is one typical for ID'iot creationers lacking any background in science.

It's really remarkable how the religious extremists all copy and paste the same phony ''quotes''.

The Gee ''quote'' is one you stole from the most extreme of the religious extremists.

ID’iot creationist Jonathan Wells of the Disco’tute is badly misrepresenting Henry Gee. Even if it weren't obvious from understanding biological evolution which the hyper-religious “quote-miners” do not, I can figure this out by consulting the words of Henry Gee. He has become so frustrated at the persistent misrepresentation of his work, he finally felt compelled to clarify his position to refute the false claims made by ID'iot creationers.

Adaptation is obvious. Extrapolating adaptation to the extremes you pretend is NOT "fact." Not remotely.
But since you pretend that it is, explain the insuperable statistics of polypeptide synthesis, including folding.

“WE CONCLUDE – UNEXPECTEDLY – that there is little evidence for the neo-Darwinian view: its theoretical foundations and the experimental evidence supporting it are weak.” – Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Illinois, Chicago, The American Naturalist, November 1992

“And let us dispose of a common misconception. The complete transmutation of even one animal species into a different species has never been directly observed either in the laboratory or in the field.” Dean H. Kenyon (Professor of Biology, San Francisco State University), affidavit presented to the U.S. Supreme Court, No. 85-1513, Brief of Appellants, prepared under the direction of William J. Guste, Jr., Attorney General of the State of Louisiana, October 1985, p. A-16

“I can think of no other example in all of history when an important scientific theory – a dominant position in intellectual life – was held in such contempt and skepticism by people who are paying for its research. People just found that theory impossible to swallow.” – David Berlinski, 2008 lecture

“I believe that one day the Darwinian myth will be ranked the greatest deceit in the history of science. When that happens, many people will pose the question, ‘How did that happen?’ – (Dr Soren Luthrip, Swedish embryologist)

“250,000 species of plants and animals recorded and deposited in museums throughout the world did not support the gradual unfolding hoped for by Darwin.” (Dr. David Raup, curator of geology at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, “Conflicts Between Darwinism and Paleontology”)

“My attempts to demonstrate evolution by an experiment carried on for more than 40 years have completely failed…..It is not even possible to make a caricature of an evolution out of paleobiological facts…The idea of an evolution rests on pure belief.”(Dr. Nils Heribert-Nilsson, noted Swedish botanist and geneticist, of Lund University)

The case method has been the primary method of pedagogy at American law schools ever since. The case method has since been adopted and improved upon by schools in other disciplines, such as business, public policy, and education. Students such as Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. would ensure that Langdell's innovation would not go unnoticed. Christopher Columbus Langdell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
