The Lion Shall Lie Down with the Lamb
| January 18, 2007 | Posted by Dave S. under Just For Fun, Off Topic, Philosophy, Religion |
Over at ATBC one of our brightest detractors Altabin (banned here, natch, because he’s just too smart for us) suggested an experiment. He misquoted the bible of course. It’s wolf and lamb or lion and calf. But we get his drift. Quote 53. Were all the animals friendly to man before the Flood? Idea: raise… more
Quote of the day — Finally some closure on monkeys typing Shakespeare!

“We’ve heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true.†–Robert Wilensky HOMEPAGE: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~wilensky SOURCE: http://www.jimpoz.com/quotes/speaker.php?speakerid=855 more
Dennett gives scientific reasons ID will prevail
| December 30, 2006 | Posted by scordova under Culture, Just For Fun, Religion |
It is my speculation the notorious Beyond Belief Conference and Dawkins call to make religion illegal are signs secularism could be on the brink of crisis. Ironically, Daniel Dennett unwittingly gives powerful “scientific” reasons why secularism is doomed and why religion (which tends to be ID-friendly) will prevail as the dominant paradigm in human culture.… more

Flash Animation Contest: “There is no God and Richard is his prophet”
| December 22, 2006 | Posted by William Dembski under Just For Fun |
I’m considering offering $250 for the winning entry in a flash animation contest. I’d like the flash animation to incorporate the following elements: (1) Portray Richard Dawkins as a cult deprogrammer. (2) Portray a 7-year old Stephen Colbert as the theist he must convert to atheism. (See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuXpysYEhgA and below) (3) Employ 10 classic Dawkins… more
ID is Dead?
| December 22, 2006 | Posted by Dave S. under Intelligent Design, Just For Fun |
They say ID is dead yet they just can’t stop talking about it on Panda’s Thumb. I counted 21 mentions of “ID” and “Intelligent Design” on just the home page without expansion of any articles or comments. If they believe ID is dead that means the thumbsters are necrophiliacs. Gross. I’ll add that to their… more
The Dawkins-Dembski Briefwechsel I — “Evolutionary Algorithms”
| December 18, 2006 | Posted by William Dembski under Darwinism, Evolution, Intelligent Design, Just For Fun |
Since Richard Dawkins thinks he has the right to reprint my letters to him by posting them over the Internet (go here), I’ll assume the same privilege applies to me. Let’s start with this exchange from the spring of 2000 (the paper in question became chapters 3 and 4 of my book NO FREE LUNCH):… more
The Wayne Campbell of Oxford
| December 17, 2006 | Posted by Dave S. under Just For Fun |
In a masterful display of witty rhetoric… Response from Richard “Girly Man” Dawkins “Anybody who resorts to tactics of desperation like this has to be a real loser. Dembski is a loser”… more
The Church Lady of Nuclear Physics
| December 17, 2006 | Posted by Dave S. under Just For Fun |
Dana Carvey or David Heddle? You be the judge… Something new for the CV “This is damn embarrassing.” “This post was on the adult blog, Uncommon Descent” Doctor Heddle, you’re not half as embarrassed as I’ll be if you reveal the author of that email offering to make you an author on Uncommon Descent. more
Reporter caught telling lies in attempt to infiltrate Cornell IDEA club
| October 9, 2006 | Posted by scordova under Education, Intelligent Design, Just For Fun |
Reporter Celeste Biever of New Scientist was caught apparently telling lies in an attempt to infiltrate the Cornell IDEA club according to club president Hannah Maxson. In the IDEA club’s letter of protest to Biever’s employer, Maxson wrote: it appears that your reporter acted unethically and lied to us about her identity and falsely claimed… more
[Really Off Topic] Technological Evolution
| September 15, 2006 | Posted by Patrick under Just For Fun |
Let’s lighten things up a little: The only way I can think of to connect this to ID in any manner is DaveScot’s contention that evolution will continue via self-modification. Other than that, I just thought it was funny. more
ID culture a part of Starbuck’s coffee culture?
| August 31, 2006 | Posted by scordova under Culture, Just For Fun, Philosophy |
In response to Bill’s earlier thread Who said evolution wasn’t progressive, to say nothing of warm and fuzzy?, Rob Crowther posted a followup here: Beasts in the Forest. Crowther points out Discovery Institute CSC Fellow Wesley Smith has a quote appearing on Starbuck’s coffee cups. more
Do you know somebody who is eligible for one of these?

We support the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who remove themselves from it. Of necessity, this honor is generally bestowed posthumously. It’s the Darwin Award! more
What is a “pseudo-journalist”?
| July 24, 2006 | Posted by William Dembski under Intelligent Design, Just For Fun |
Wesley Elsberry, in blogging about Denyse O’Leary’s recent coming on board here at UD, refers to her as a “pseudo-journalist” (go here)? What a curious designation. Does Wesley’s use of the prefix “pseudo” simply indicate his disapproval of O’Leary and, in particular, her failure to accept his brand of evolution? Or does the prefix indicate… more
