Answers in Genesis: "Fine. There was evolution. Fuck you."

Wouldn't you like to see that headline one day? Me too.


Anyway, this is a CrAzY CrEaTiOnIsT NeWs, something that I haven't done in a while. This is where I correct the numerous, numerous errors of basic reading comprehension that dog the ignorant subnorms at Answers in Genesis. You see, every week they send out an email of really stupid evaluations of science news. Every so often I pick it up, find the sharp end and return it to them.

So let's jam it back up their asses:
1. PhysOrg: “New Book Examines the Flawed Human Body”
Evolutionists often point to apparent flaws in human design to ridicule the notion of “intelligent design.” Now, the author of a new book on “design flaws” in humans offers his perspective.
Feet. Feet HAVE to be a design flaw. I mean, really, have you ever looked at feet? On purpose?It's like someone decided to just break your legs forward at the end. And God said, "It'll do."
University of California–Irvine evolutionary biologist John Avise is author of Inside the Human Genome, which a press release touts as “explor[ing] the many deficiencies of human DNA while recapping recent findings about the human genome.” While opponents of intelligent design have used human anatomical flaws (real and imagined) to attack the case for design, Avise points to genetic deficiencies.

Avise is partially right and partially wrong.
Whereas you monkey-tuggers have been all wrong always.
While it’s true that, theoretically, both natural selection and intelligent design can explain complex systems, information-adding genetic mutations would be required for natural-selection–driven evolution to “create” features that appear to be designed. Such information-adding genetic mutations have never been observed, however.
Down Syndrome (extra 21st chromosome). Fuck you. I win. Sit down and shut the fuck up, you children.
2. BBC News: “Space Rock Contains Organic Molecular Feast”
A meteorite said to be billions of years old contains molecules that include carbon atoms. Is it therefore proof that life on earth could have been seeded from space?
The so-called Murchison meteorite, which crashed into Australia in 1969, has been an object of interest to scientists for decades. In June 2008, we reported that a team studying the meteorite had discovered “components of RNA and DNA” in the rock, exciting those who believe life exists beyond earth.
Oh, and also people who believe that examining the contents of the early solar system can give us an understanding of how things got to be how they are. Oh, and people who think that life started here. So, a lot of people. You folks are useless dingleberries in the butthairs of scientific inquiry.
A new study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, examined more of the molecular structure of the meteorite. By using mass spectrometry on a sample and extrapolating based on previous studies, the scientists identified 14,000 different compounds. Many include carbon and are therefore deemed “organic,” as carbon is central to all known life.
[...]
Well, sort of...Organic as a concept goes back to vitalism, and the notion that some things are the stuff of life. There are lots of simple compounds that qualify, and we really should not be surprised to find some of these in the early stuff of the solar system. I mean, carbon is pretty low on the periodical table, it will be made in relative abundance in the furnaces of dying stars. So there is stuff about. If you are going to experiment with making chocolate chip cookies, you have to have the chocolate chips, is what they are saying. And you seem to omit the really important part of the BBC article:
The researchers says the identification of many different chemicals shows the primordial Solar System probably had a higher molecular diversity than Earth.
There are those liberal academics going on about diversity again! Damn them and their molecular correctness! DUDE THIS IS 4.65 BILLION YEARS OLD! Your little belch of a world is so less interesting than the real one, one that links us inescapably with an unimaginably ancient past.

Like fossils, however, meteorites are subject to interpretation. That this meteorite contains carbon proves only that this meteorite contains carbon; evolutionists have no clear answer to how lifeless molecules could have self-organized into reproducing life.
Not what these people were talking about, red herring boy. And what, you do? How did God do it? How is explaining an unknown in terms of yet another further unknown progress? It's like blaming your haunting on angels or something. Grow up.

God, this is why I don't do this more often. It's the staggering dumbness of your continued public failure. Fuck. You are so depressingly pathetic, if you weren't doing it to yourselves I'd feel sorry for you.

But I don't.

Once, when I was a young teen in a haze of LSD and PCP, I launched a plan to breed Down Syndrome people to produce a new type of organism....

I love every bit of this post. I'm reading Carl Sagan's "The Demon Haunted World" right now, and he really point out why it is important to not even give these useless failures one inch. Keep up the good work, Bing.

I love your little rants :)

A better one than Down's Syndrome; most common grains are readily identifiable as mutations of common grasses. IIRC, there's one pairing (a fescue and a wheat, mebbe?) that are genetically identical, cept one had massive nondisjunction causing doubling of all of the chromosomes. I'd go look up a reference, but I'm just about ready for bed and webcrawls like that wake me up.

Anyhow, if they're not down with the information-added mutations, they can just stop eating grains.
