Dembski proves my point

A few months ago, I posted this:
The IDiots, in their books and their Uncommonly Dense site throw this term around as they try to suggest that scientists are still desperately clinging on to Darwin's outdated ideas. They are either too stupid or too dishonest to understand that modern evolutionary biology has advanced far beyond anything Darwin could have ever imagined. As their IDiotic ideas are religious myths and not science, they try to portray Darwin as the messiah of evolutionary biology the same way Jesus is the messiah of their silly cult of lies. They are dishonest dumbfucks who want to sneak their religious ideas into science, and thus feel the need to portray evolution as another religion.Little did I know that soon, William "BillDumb" Dembski, supreme IDiot of Uncommonly Dense, would nicely come along and prove my point. From this post at UD:
Miller has called himself an Orthodox Christian and an Orthodox Darwinian (cf. the 2001 PBS Evolution Series). But one has to wonder which of these masters he serves more faithfully.*headdesk*
Projecting much, Dumby? Thanks for proving my point!
BillDumb is clearly too stupid, ignorant, or simply a liar to think that acceptance of a scientific theory is tantamount to serving it like a master. Why the IDiots don't gripe about acceptance of gravity or serving 'Newtonism' is beyond me. What BillDumb and the rest of the IDiots are doing is simply projecting their fervent worship of a Jewish cosmic zombie to evolutionary biology to make it sound like a religious dogma (oh, the irony). Despite their rabid fucktarded lying denials that ID is a religion, they cannot escape thinking like the religious fundie morons they actually are, and clearly show themselves unable to differentiate science from religion. If they had their way, they see to it that their brand of Bible-thumping fundie stupidity is shoved into science classrooms, truth be damned.
BillDumb is such a massive train wreck and a source of epic fail (and lulz) that whenever I think that something or other must be the limit of his bottomless pit of stupidity, he goes on and vomits another pile of anal droppings for us rational people to point and laugh. If you continue reading the rest of his post, he goes on to brag about how he is glad that his upcoming book is being endorsed by
Ann Coulter, folks! Need I say more?
Somebody seriously needs to fuck Dembski out of his delusions. Seriously. Serious scientific fucking business.

I just spit my drink all over the monitor when I read the last line.
Fuck me, Shalini. Why Dembski?
If I become an IDiot, will you fuck me too?
I think that explains the fundie attitude towards sex. If you can be fucked out of a delusion, then it's as dangerous as education.
Anyway, off to conservapedia, to get restocked on delusions to get fucked out of. I hate the disease, but I so love the cure...
Whenever I hear someone say "ID is Science", I imagine a small child stamping his feet and wildly flailing his arms, throwing a tantrum when the universe doesn't shape to his will.
Then, of course, I laugh in their face.
Hey Shalanonymous: Maybe you could explain this to some...you know, actual scientists, because apparently they don't know.
"Darwin's evolutionary explanation of the origins of man has been transformed into a modern myth, to the detriment of scientific and social progress.....The secular myths of evolution have had a damaging effect on scientific research, leading to distortion, to needless controversy, and to gross misuse of science....I mean the stories, the narratives about change over time. How the dinosaurs became extinct, how the mammals evolved, where man came from. These seem to me to be little more than story-telling."
Dr. Colin Patterson - Senior Paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History
"All of us who study the origin of life find that the more we look into it, the more we feel it is too complex to have evolved anywhere. We all believe as an article of faith that life evolved from dead matter on this planet. It is just that life's complexity is so great, it is hard for us to imagine that it did."
Dr. Harold Urey - Nobel Prize Winner
"After chiding the theologian for his reliance on myth and miracle, science found itself in the unenviable position of having to create mythology of its own: namely, the assumption that what, after long effort, could not be proved to take place today had, in truth, taken place in the primeval past."
Dr. Loren Eiseley, anthropologist,

Rather than run around quoting other people out of context, why don't you try to logically defend your own viewpoint?
On previous posts you have said that you don't believe in macroevolution, that evolution ceases to operate "just below the species level".
So where most people see the natural world as a web of inter-related life forms constantly adapting to their environment, you see a Chain of Being of discrete, immutable species. Is that a fair assessment of your position?
If species are immutable, it goes without saying that, rather than being descended from a previously existing form (descent with modification) each species must have appeared spontaneously, exactly as it is, with its respective fins, feathers and opposable thumbs.
Obviously, if evolution is "impossible" now, it has always been impossible, so the same rule applies to extinct life forms. Wooly mammoths were poofed into existence in the Pleistocene complete with bad haircuts, rather than being descendants of Pliocene pachyderms with a cold weather adaptation. Tyrannosaurids were a one off deal, rather than being descendants of smaller, less specialized carnivorous theropods. Zeuglodons spontaneously appeared in the late Eocene to occupy the ecological niche that had been vacated by the mososaurs of the Cretaceous.
Briefly put, your position is that each species comes into being at some point in time, thrives for a while, and then dies off, leaving no descendants. How many millions of special acts of creation have been required since the Cambrian Explosion, murf?
Or maybe you think the geologic column and the resulting chronology is all a bunch of hooey, and the whole ball of wax was cobbled together in a week in 4004 BC. In which case your main quarrel is not with Darwin, but with Smith and Hutton (basically with all geology since the 18th century)and you should be looking for quotes from smart people to the effect that the Earth is only 6000 years old. Good luck with that.
Fuck me, not Dembski!
Evolved Rationalist fucks like a porn star. I know, I've had her!!
Awww....horny nerds jacking off on their keyboards at every mention of sex on this blog.
Yawn.
That is your whole point, isn't it Shalini? You WANT the attention so you mention sex. I'm reminded of Britney Spears.
Anonytroll,
1. My name is Evolved Rationalist, not Shalini.
2. I mention sex on this blog because it is something I enjoy greatly. This is my blog, and if you don't like it you are welcome to fuck off.
3. You are a deprived, desperate virgin, aren't you?
For those not getting it:
Shalini Sehkar, owner and writer of the Scientia Natura blog (rather similar in theme to this one) as well as several other locations 'disappeared' somewhere in januari due to serious real-life issues.
She posted that, if we liked Scientia Natura, we woul probably like this blog as well, and I do.
Now, judging from the fact that theme of blogs is the same, and that Shalini's dissapearing of the net coincided with the appearance of Evolved Rationalis, some people have concluded they're the same person.
Personally, I don't give a crap. All the best to both Evolved and Shalini. With 6.6 billion people on Earth, draw your own conclusions.
Oh, and Jimbo, it's a great post, but I can allready see the reply to it, and so can you:
"Goddidit"
Alcari, what issues? Anything I can do to help?
according to Hermant Mehta AKA, The friendly Atheist:

Josh-
Nice succinct slap across the murftard's mouth. Or should I say well executed teabag.
I think Shalini was killed by some Christians, or someone punched her in the face like Greydon Square did to Brian Sapient. Hahahahahaha atheist drama is so funny!!
HERRING AND GRUEL AND PORRIDGE AND MILK!
