Vision and Evolution (A Critique of Dawkins)

There will be me, the accredited engineer,
The actual tenured professor from a university.
The graduate from a business uni who makes more loot than any of us combined.
And a pure mathemetician.

In order, we will refer to each other as ...
Glorified electrician.
Cheesemonger.
Crap chef
Traitor to the ECB.

Point is that our crank du jour somehow thinks that qualifications are somehow holy. And they are not. The only explanation for that is that he/she is unable to get one. 
Or alternately, crank du jour reverses and says qualifications mean nothing. He/she can't make up it's mind

As evidence? Well the stream of moronic posts borne out of jealousy.

It is at least a little sad, but my sympathy has a limit.

Lol I agree, qualifications aren't holy. Though not as irrelevant as religion to this conversation, they don't affect how true any of the statements on this thread are. But its understandable why the forum would ask me what degree I had, where I went to school, and such, so I've told them what seemed relevant.

But hey, given that I don't need my degree to defend my arguments let's do this. From now on, my education level is just a basic high school diploma. I just tore up my degree (you'll have to take my word for it, I already threw it away). So there, I'm not Christian, and I'm uneducated. Let's proceed with the conversation.

Good luck getting that out of him.

Evolution isn't a political stance one can take a position on. Its just a scientific theory; its a tool for formulating hypothesis and explaining bodies of observation.

So says the weasel who thinks he is slippery enough to be another liar for Jesus without being pinned down as another of that despicable ilk.

If pinning me down as another of that despicable ilk helps you contribute to the topic of vision and evolution (Hint: It doesn't) then pin me down. I'll convert back to Christianity just for you and adopt the most fundamentalist and literal beliefs, if it helps you make one intelligent post on the subject at hand.

The “topic” is another one of the typically despicable attempts at manipulative proselytizing by affectation of serious discussion, which incidentally has proven to be one of the only two acts you and your ilk are or has ever been capable of, the other being spooky hyperbolic threats.   Yet you comport yourself with such a comically ridiculous air of smugness as if what you conceive to be your ingenuity has just promised to put you on the path to better grace with Jesus by inventing something new that we haven't seen before.

So tell me, why would anyone contribute to a “topic” such as this?

I assume they would contribute because they too have an interest in the topic, no?

No, they have an interest in letting you know your game is up.

And the lord said: “looketh upon the human eye. That shit is crazy! And, then you will know in your heart that I am your God the Father.”
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.
