		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I’ve read about three blogs and the comments that go with it and I’m so sick of JCC’s bullshit that my head feels about to explode.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Judging by the condition of &lt;i&gt;your&lt;/i&gt; blog, I’d say it already has.&lt;blockquote&gt;I’m really glad he’s so gung-ho for what be believes in and so fond of the phrase “cognitive dissonance”&lt;/blockquote&gt;I used the phrase exactly &lt;a HREF=&quot;“http://tinyurl.com/yd3rbt8”&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;once&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;blockquote&gt;but seriously, the guy needs to find a group of friends to hang out with.

		<description>I&#039;ve read about three blogs and the comments that go with it and I&#039;m so sick of JCC&#039;s bullshit that my head feels about to explode. I&#039;m really glad he&#039;s so gung-ho for what be believes in and so fond of the phrase &quot;cognitive dissonance,&quot; but seriously, the guy needs to find a group of friends to hang out with. He&#039;s gonna have a heart attack getting all riled up like that.

Maybe he could volunteer at a soup kitchen or something. Mentor a troubled teen. Go on a missions trip. Do something with his faith besides bug people he&#039;s not going to convince by his COMPLETE AND TOTAL LACK OF EVIDENCE. A website, a book title, a link to a study, an article in a scholarly journal. Anything. 

However...I must say, I&#039;ve not carefully read through every last thing he (and his fellow trolls) have said. I skimmed enough to get the general idea, my patience with name calling immaturity came to an end and I just couldn&#039;t read anymore. 

Hope everyone has a great day. Don&#039;t let these trolls get you down too much. Darwin wrote a freaking book that is still being read 150 years later. What have they done lately?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Reality: no such luck—new species only appear in the record fully formed—there is no “finely graduated chain” between scales and feathers; only the sudden appearance of fully formed feathers.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I addressed this in an earlier post, but I may as well have been addressing a brick wall.
&lt;blockquote&gt;Reality: to date, no controlled experiment has yielded an entirely new, morphologically distinct species.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Christlation: &quot;Duck hasn&#039;t become a monkey, my delusion holds.&quot;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;s&gt;Evolution&lt;/s&gt; &lt;b&gt;the bible&lt;/b&gt;, as a “predictive tool,” is a demonstrable, dismal failure.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
There, fixed THAT for ya.
Still not talking to me, little mouse? Ah well, sour grapes is so attractive on you.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You have presented no facts that could challenge the predictive power of evolution&lt;/blockquote&gt;Huh?  Let’s see: Darwin’s “theory” predicts a “finely-graduated organic chain” in the fossil record. Reality: no such luck—new species &lt;i&gt;only&lt;/i&gt; appear in the record &lt;b&gt;fully formed&lt;/b&gt;—there is no “finely graduated chain” between scales and feathers; only the sudden appearance of fully formed feathers.  And if Darwin’s theory &lt;i&gt;has&lt;/i&gt; “predictive power” then &lt;b&gt;by definition&lt;/b&gt; it could be verified by controlled experiment.  Reality: to date, &lt;b&gt;no&lt;/b&gt; controlled experiment has yielded an entirely new, morphologically distinct species.&lt;blockquote&gt;Meanwhile evolution persists as the model with greatest predictive power.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Hogwash. Evolution, as a “predictive tool,” is a demonstrable, dismal &lt;b&gt;failure&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;blockquote&gt;Strangely you are blind to this bottom line.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Sorry pal, but &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;I&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; ain’t the blind one here.&lt;blockquote&gt;Did you miss grade school when your teachers explained to you what the key ingredients of a scientific theory are?&lt;/blockquote&gt;More cuteness.  Really, we hardly know each other, yet you cannot contain your premeditated (pre-indoctrinated) contempt, not for my ideas, but for me personally—that’s real mature of you.&lt;blockquote&gt;I think, as I stated earlier, that your anti-evolution stance is simply a requirement of those who wish to be considered a member in good standing within your theism-centric support structure.&lt;/blockquote&gt;And like so in many other ways, you think &lt;/b&gt;wrong.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;You simply lack the courage needed to venture outside that support structure.&lt;/blockquote&gt;You’re one to talk.  Until &lt;b&gt;you&lt;/b&gt; grow a pair and admit that Darwinism &lt;b&gt;hasn’t&lt;/b&gt; met expectations, you’d do well not to accuse others of the cowardice that &lt;b&gt;you&lt;/b&gt; suffer from.&lt;blockquote&gt;Nobody here, especially me, needs or wants your respect.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Not a problem: you’ve done nothing to &lt;b&gt;earn&lt;/b&gt; my respect.&lt;blockquote&gt;You, however, are desperately sneaking something from the atheists on this blog.&lt;/blockquote&gt;And what would that be?—willingness to face the truth?

Still waiting to hear which of the “physical ‘sciences’” these supposed Ph.Ds are in….</description>

And if Darwin’s theory <i>has</i> “predictive power” then <b>by definition</b> it could be verified by controlled experiment.

You have presented no facts that could challenge the predictive power of evolution nor have you presented an alternate theory with greater predictive power. Meanwhile evolution persists as the model with greatest predictive power. Strangely you are blind to this bottom line. Did you miss grade school when your teachers explained to you what the key ingredients of a scientific theory are? I doubt it. I think, as I stated earlier, that your anti-evolution stance is simply a requirement of those who wish to be considered a member in good standing within your theism-centric support structure. You simply lack the courage needed to venture outside that support structure. 

Nobody here, especially me, needs or wants your respect. You, however, are desperately sneaking something from the atheists on this blog. Your desperation is - colossal understatement alert - a bit pathetic.</description>
