Darwin's Day

[Jorge]

Since I am not a fan of YE Creationism your foolish smear does not relate to me. I don't usually agree with Jorge, and I don't agree with his whole post. It is nevertheless true that while Darwin has had an impact on science, that impact is highly exaggerated. And atheism is the major force behind the celebration.

We will disagree on Biblical Creationism versus Old Age Creationism but we do agree on Atheism as the major force behind Darwin Day and, for that matter, behind Darwinism. Good!

So now, based on this one point of agreement, explain to the poor, misguided souls known as Theistic Evolutionists the serious errors of their ways.

I am not aware of any major (or even minor) celebration aimed at any of the other more important scientists of history.

That was my point. ALL of the greatest scientific minds in history - and there have been quite a few - while recognized for their numerous accomplishments have never had a day named for them. We have a holiday for Martin Luther King, for Columbus (Day) ... we have President's Day.

Then we have DARWIN DAY - named after a guy whose accomplishments are far, far more ideological than they are scientific PLUS he was mostly wrong anyway! That's why 'Evolution' is up to - what is it? - revision number 29 (?). Every time findings show up Evolution for what it is - a BS theory chock-full of errors - they simply whip out new hypotheses or a new version altogether. Yet, we have a "Darwin Day". Now, if that doesn't make you scratch your head then nothing will.

Nonsense! I cannot stop you from making such ridiculous allegations.

Jorge

How was your post not an ad hominem?

Nonsense! I cannot stop you from making such ridiculous allegations.

Jorge

You cannot demonstrate that the allegation was "ridiculous", right Jorge? All you can do is make the assertion.

We must have a Lucretius Day in commemoration of his publication of De Rerum Natura. He started all the trouble of modern science, atoms. infinities, and other such nonsense that stirred up the believers in antiquated beliefs of his day.
