If you are really too scared, that's fine.
Kitzmiller V Dover
Quote:On cross-examination, Professor Behe admitted that: “There are no peer reviewed articles by anyone advocating for intelligent design supported by pertinent experiments or calculations which provide detailed rigorous accounts of how intelligent design of any biological system occurred.” (22:22-23 (Behe)). Additionally, Professor Behe conceded that there are no peer-reviewed papers supporting his claims that complex molecular systems, like the bacterial flagellum, the blood-clotting cascade, and the immune system, were intelligently designed. (21:61-62 (complex molecular systems), 23:4-5 (immune system), and 22:124-25 (blood-clotting cascade) (Behe)). In that regard, there are no peer-reviewed articles supporting Professor Behe’s argument that certain complex molecular structures are “irreducibly complex.”17 (21:62, 22:124-25 (Behe)). In addition to failing to produce papers in peer-reviewed journals, ID also features no scientific research or testing. (28:114-15 (Fuller); 18:22-23, 105-06 (Behe)).https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Kitzmille...Is_Science
17 The one article referenced by both Professors Behe and Minnich as supporting ID is an article written by Behe and Snoke entitled “Simulating evolution by gene duplication of protein features that require multiple amino acid residues.” (P-721). A review of the article indicates that it does not mention either irreducible complexity or ID. In fact, Professor Behe admitted that the study which forms the basis for the article did not rule out many known evolutionary mechanisms and that the research actually might support evolutionary pathways if a biologically realistic population size were used. (22:41-45 (Behe); P-756).

Even mujahideen need better educations than their religions will allow. That's why the fabricator rarely wears the vest, lol. His skills and knowledge are in high demand, he has a reason to live, and ignorant (but highly committed) coat racks are a dime a dozen.
There are two types of education, the type that make one learn a craft by rote, and then there is the type that teaches one about how the structure of the pursuit of truth actually works, such that one could use it to systematically find out and verify material facts not yet known, much less taught.
MK undoubtedly believe he has the former. He probably believe there is no more to learning then the former, beside reciting the Koran like an idiot. He is probably capable learning by rote the craft of how to make a bomb that will work just well enough to blow himself up.
However, Judging by his posts the parts of his brain needed for latter, such as they were, has long grown gangrenous. He would never grasp the implications of why the means by which we perfected chemistry and electronics underlying his bomb actually works, such that the craft behind bomb making could be invented and taught to him.
