Holy hell, there's some RANK creationist crap on that board's CvsE forum, and it only has two threads!

I've fought to mash my frame through tiny, twisting caves in the Appalacians. I imagine I exerted less effort back then than it will take to wade through THAT one forum.

Whatever's worth doing, well, I guess. Might as well sign up to give it a go, for the benefit of smacking deserving idiots as much as anything.
Note: I'm semi-retired from the board, so if you need something, please be patient.

To arms!

Huzzah!

Edit -
The first and second LAWS of thermodynamics alone disprove the theory of evolution. The first LAW states that energy can neither be created, nor destroyed. From a scientific view, how does one explain the formation of cells?

If I wasn't at work, I'd probably have fallen off my chair laughing after reading this. So conservation of energy prohibits cellular growth?

-IMHO the ACLU is the last bastion of freedom in the U.S.

-We must defend it from the onslaught of idiots and morons
(which include myself if Darth Wong if to be believed)!

-It is time to anhilate the arguements of creationists and their ilk like the virulant diseases they are.

-The world simply cannot afford to let the U.S. be overrun and comsumed by fundamentalist!

Evolution theory doesn't state that something came from nothing. The cells came from inorganic material. And how does Creation theory solve any of this? All it does is bring some man in the sky into it, reducing it to the level of religious mysticism.

Not to mention that the creation of cells doesn't involve energy creation :roll:

Using his logic, starting fires should be impossible. After all, you need energy to do it!

--To everyone who wants to defend the ACLU forums, I suggest we copy the occum's razor/logical fallacies thread to the appropriate ACLU forums. In addition, I suggest we use this thread to gather a compact list of links to post the appropriate ACLU forums. For instance, we could post links to Mr. Wong's creationism site, talkorigins, etc. in the creationism vs evolution forum. We should probably keep these updated as well which has the added benefit of keeping them at the top of each thread list.
-Once we have cemented our postition in the creationism vs. evolution forum I suggest we expand to other areas as well.
-The last thought for now is that we need a strong debater like Mr. Wong who can sway the uninformed, highly ambivilent, and quite possible hostile elements of he audience to our side. I'm afraid scientists simply aren't very good at that as is true for other most people.

I'd rather draw their fire about the creationism issue. Then I'll say I'm gay and flay 'em open when they do their bog-standard homophobia bit.

News from the front

We have launched our initial assault upon the creationist shits. I expect that we will have full control of the evolution vs creationism forum within the week.
