Quote from: Dredge on February 13, 2017, 01:20:47 AMActually, the term, "intellegent design" is a tautology.  Without intelligence, design is impossible.

... intelligence may very well be possible or even likely without design.
As a theist, you have no choice but to believe irrational nonsense.  Next you'll be believing that life can come into existence all by the will of woo.

Where's Dredge?
We haven't seen him in a long time. Did he get tired of us?  :sad sigh:

He mentioned that he has poor health, and has to travel to a WiFi hotspot to log in to this site. It may be that one or the other has outweighed the entertainment he derives from visiting here. I hope that he is well.

Mothership scooped him up.

It takes a some work to actively ignore everything Dredge disagrees with, I'm sure it's just resting up.

Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

I don't recall seeing that info, Recusant, but I also would not wish him  ill.

Just not pestering us!

I saw a distinctly Dredgian apparition yesterday, but no other trace was made manifest.  :sherlock2:

I'm certainly not vouching for the credibility of what he's said about himself. He doesn't seem to be particularly concerned about veracity.

Yes, I remember when he said that.
I also hope he is well.

Quote from: Dredge on February 16, 2017, 04:29:11 AMSome of these anti-Dredge posts are pretty funny.
Yes, they are.  :tellmemore:


Are the anti-Dredge posts in other atheist forums, like this?

Irrational nonsense? Like an almighty deity that created everything there is, yet somehow resembles its most cherished creation?
If you want to defend your brand of science, the best way to do it is with science, not with some theological straw man.
Follow the evidence wherever it leads.

Well..........Um...

...A lot of us are trying to do that, right now.
I hope you can see that.
