Creationist creatard Kevin Wirth poked his head out of his burrow, saw a “Darwinist”, and declared we’d have 6 more decades of religion in the public schools.
He made this declaration a few days ago on ARN’s blog, in an article titled “From the Dork Side of the Farce”. I think there’s supposed to be a joke in that title somewhere, but he has trouble communicating his ideas without quote mining, so we’ll just have to pretend we see his little funny and laugh. Come on, folks, yuck it up! We don’t want to embarrass him!
He writes:
Quite often I come across some fairly hypocritical commentary emanating from the Dork Side of the Farce. The topics of these bulletins range from “15 things that are wrong with ID”…
Only 15? Kevin! You need to look harder!
…to other delightful tidbits of smugly painted sanctimonious preaching intended to help those who might otherwise be mislead to spot the errors of ID.
Kevin is so deep in the Intellectual Dishonesty movement that he forgets that most people don’t need to lie to make their case.
I guess if ad hominem attacks or vitriol doesn’t work…
No, Kevin. The ad hominem attacks and vitriol have nothing to do with trying to discredit creationists. We accomplished that feat a hundred years ago. Your side sank in humiliation a century ago. You’ve got nothing left to stand on! You’re just like a modern-day flat-Earther who refuses to believe what was settled fact long before you were born.
The ridicule and the insults are for our amusement! Watching you creationists is like going to the old circus freakshow and laughing and pointing at the freaks, but without the guilt! After all, somebody can’t help himself if he’s an actual moron. Laughing at him would be cruel and insensitive. But if you choose to become a retard-a-riffic, negative-IQ, intellectual black hole, and then prance around in public babbling nonsense, well heck. We’re obligated to laugh at you!
…then breathtaking hypocrisy might fare better.
That last laugh break was so long, I completely forgot we interrupted you in the middle of a sentence. Thanks for providing that! I was having a bad day until now. Psychologists tell us to remember to laugh. Keep humor in your everyday life, and you will live longer and be happier. Thanks to Kevin Wirth, I’m going to be around for a long time! Life is grand!
A recent example of this would be New Scientist book review editor Amanda Gefter’s recent commentary on “How to spot a hidden religious agenda.” In it, she attempts to help her readers detect “religion in science’s clothing.”
You’re right, Kevin. That is a good article. Thanks for pointing it out. It will make it easier for my readers to spot your real motives.
But as I read her piece, I couldn’t help but notice that nearly every single item she mentions as a problem with the religious-like thinking she is so intent on hammering has a direct corollary with evolutionary thinking as well.
In comedy writing, this is known as the “set-up”.
It’s so interesting how critics can see the imperfections with someone else’s perspective, yet fail to see the same exact problem with their own.
This is the reinforcement.
Not only that, but many of her conclusions (as is typical of many like her who try to correct how IDers define themselves and their mission)…
Wow! More reinforcement?! He’s really building the tension now! Wait for it! Here comes the punch line!
…are clearly either imprecise…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! A creationist telling a biologist that she’s imprecise!
…cherry-picked…
HAR!!HAR!!HAR!!HAR!! Kevin Wirth condemning cherry-picking! That’s rich!
…or flat-out wrong.
OH NO!! STOP!! I CAN’T BREATHE!! Mr. Flat-Out Wrong of Flat-Out Wrong Flats thinks somebody else is in error!
Nothing like knocking down straw men (and women).
*gasp!* *air!* *I need air!*
Oh, Kevin! Thank you! I haven’t laughed that hard since Jerry Falwell blamed 9/11 on the feminists and the pagans!
