It&#39;s totally unfair, even in a rigged debate, which this clearly is. Not only is the moderator biased, but so is the audience, who don&#39;t seem to care that the people who know what the fuck they are talking don&#39;t get a chance to explain.<br /><br />If an atheist tried to pull this shit, we&#39;d get called on it hard. When they pull this shit, it&#39;s like, &quot;Well, you should have argued your case better.&quot;Jimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18250798220959606060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588121241085894059.post-88533606064743363532010-09-14T10:47:29.906+09:002010-09-14T10:47:29.906+09:00I hated the moderator, too. There&#39;s one part of the debate (not sure if it&#39;s in these clips or not), when the moderator asks the RRS something like this:<br /><br />&quot;If we&#39;re all transitional species, then tell the audience what they were before they came into this hall today and how that has now changed.&quot;<br /><br />I think the guy is a creationist, and definitely poorly educated in science, unless he&#39;s just trying to be as fair as possible, even to stupid ideas.Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08435379042731604819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588121241085894059.post-29044972310217939432010-09-14T09:04:08.558+09:002010-09-14T09:04:08.558+09:00I made the mistake of watching the first video from the start. That moderator is an ignorant moron! It is so infuriating how badly he mangles evolution. The worst part about these creationist debates is that you often have to debate the moderator as well.<br /><br />Listen to what he says: &quot;If in the natural world stronger organisms eat weaker ones, the survival of the fittest,...&quot; Then he goes on to challenge the RRS to explain why this does not justify stronger nations taking over weaker ones.<br /><br />Stronger organisms eating weaker ones? Huh? What does that even mean? This is in no way equivalent to survival of the fittest. If he is trying to refer to the predator/prey relationship, which is &quot;stronger&quot;: the lion because it has claws and fangs or the gazelle because it can outrun the lion? <br /><br />Besides, has this douchebag never heard of parasites? I&#39;d say that&#39;s an example of weak eating strong. In fact, most organisms on the planet are parasitic.<br /><br />Then this fucktard suggests &quot;strong eat weak/survival of the fittest&quot; gives warrant for nations to take over other nations. How do these two concepts even relate? The predator/prey relationship involves animals of <i>different</i> species. No organism actively preys on members of its own species, and last time I checked, all nations are members of the same species. Lastly, survival of the fittest applies to <i>individuals</i> in a population, not populations themselves. Again, this in no way relates to nations taking over other nations. <br /><br />These fuckwits are so infuriating when they spew this garbage. As soon as you&#39;re done correcting one thing, they&#39;ve already puked up five even stupider things.<br /><br />Thanks for letting me rant.

Anybody is welcome to participate in the scientific process, but they need to speak with their work, not their loud mouths. Science does not work based on people's OPINIONS. It is a process meant to discover the truths of the Universe.<br /><br />As for the anti-Americanism, there are 2 reasons:<br /><br />1. It was just the mood I was in on the day when I wrote it.<br /><br />2. Surveys show that the USA has the highest rate of rejection of evolution among the Western developed world. So yeah, they're the leaders of this movement, so they can take the brunt of my scorn.<br /><br />Are they ignorant because they're American? Well, perhaps. Their people are fighting to get creationism taught, which will keep future generations of Americans ignorant, if it succeeds. They also need to thump a Bible in order to get elected, something politicians almost NEVER talk about in my country. This will keep future Americans behind the rest of the world in their abandoning of mythology. So it is virtually guaranteed that the USA will come out of this mindset more slowly than the rest of the world, and it's their culture that will cause the slowdown. So just perhaps, they are ignorant because they're American, or more accurately, because they're raised in the USA.Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08435379042731604819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588121241085894059.post-69654012326523872202009-04-30T04:26:00.000+09:002009-04-30T04:26:00.000+09:00I have read Marx and Smith. I have studied economics five years now, and I read books, journals and magazines on the subject. Does that make me more qualified to talk about the issue? yes. Does it give me a right to talk compared to others? No. It's everones society, and hence everyone has the right to air their opinion. However I have the right to mock their hollow reasoning, misconceptions and fallacious logic.<br /><br />However, lay off the anti-americanism. It sort of ruins the piece. There are plenty of religious bigots in Europe and Asia (and elsewhere) too. They just get as much attention in the english media. Point being that yes, America has many ignorant idiots, but they are not ignorant BECAUSE they are american (something that the piece seems to imply).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588121241085894059.post-54653907650995104912008-12-06T11:29:00.000+09:002008-12-06T11:29:00.000+09:00"read more pal....lack of information"<BR/><BR/>What a well-written and clearly thought-out comment.
