Oh yes - I have the links to prove it:
You see, the science of the creationist is not like the science of a square. They use a double dose of doubling down that allows them to speak confidently out of both sides of their face.
Ah, the rare quadtupling down. Very rare, only seen among the most desperate and under-informed, yet confident and angry.
I do appreciate that this site, like most, has a limit on how long one can edit a post. That is only reasonable. In fact instant edits do not even show up, mistakes that one notices as soon as one hits the post button, do not even show up as being edited. And normal edits leave the fact that one edited a post. But if one screws up and will not admit an error one's error can be there forever.
This was a classic - his own link debunked his notions! Too many big science words, I guess.
My goodness, the page's main picture said it all:
And then in the second paragraph, which Mr.Beta HAD to have read:
"So each of us inherits our mtDNA from our own mother, who inherited her mtDNA intact from her mother, and so on back through the generations – hence mtDNA’s popular name, ‘the Eve gene’."
But no - the "Eve" gene is REAL! It is a 'flag', a 'marker' that only humans have, that only women have, that proves humanity's separate creation and 'descendency'....
This is what educated Americans are dealing with from these fanatical Dunning-Kruger effect sufferers.
The responses I see from our host are indicative of similar responses I see to other prominent scientific positions. In my view, they are less about religion, than they are about politics. There is a great deal of effort spent trying to equate certain positions based on scientific evidence with a socialist or progressive political position. Of course, often these fundamentalist political views are so intermingled with fundamentalist religious views, it is difficult to tease them apart.
I laid it out pretty clearly a couple of weeks ago (or more), and he just starting calling me a heckler and all that. As creationists are wont to do when their ignorance is laid bare.
I don't think so. It looks to me like @usfan uses name-calling, taunting, and other childish behavior as a way to avoid having to deal with the science. He just recently did that with the separate ancestry-common ancestry paper I posted a link to. The more I stuck to the science and ignored his flaming, the more extreme his rhetoric became, culminating in his "Anytime you think you have the intelligence and the balls, to debate me straight up over science, I'm here" taunt. Right after that I called for him to focus more on the science we were supposed to be discussing, and he completely ignored it and called me another name.
