That's the light we hide under a bushel. http://bcseweb.blogspot.co.uk/ It's a bit quiet at the moment, due to pressure of work. We also have our main resource http://www.bcseweb.org.uk/ which is only updated in bits and pieces as new examples of horror arise.

I can't get over the "willingly deceived by evolution" page he has. It spouts the same old creationist fallacies (the moths, humanoid fossils, etc.), and he thinks it's a legit argument. The fact that he calls himself "Pildown Superman" says a lot about how he thinks one faked fossil disproves evolution (newsflash: SCIENTSTS corrected their mistakes, not some guy on the internet who calls people names).
He's also been begging people to debate about evolution.
Does this mean that Bob is going to show how intellectually superior he is?
He wants ShockofGod to debate instead.
"Dire Wolf"? A pathetic little puppy.
Your hero Jason Lisle did NOT refute my arguments, rather he MISREPRESENTED what I wrote. He then GAVE UP and resorted to censorship and impolite silence in response to my enquiries about his behaviour. All this was - I suggest - because the person doing the refuting was ME.
This childish behaviour is what young Earth creationists call 'victory'. But it's the only victory they will ever achieve when discussing science.
Jason's behaviour towards me since late April has also been arbitrary - the very thing he accuses his opponents of. See attached photos of a couple of my many unmoderated posts.
Just to reiterate Ashley(Because I know you are watching because you have stalked some of the admins of this page.) the challenge is still open.
Peter - thanks, I'd already seen Jason's comments of Saturday at TQEP.
I consider the repetition of his challenge to be mere posturing.
He DARES not allow me to comment under his blog post about the debate with Jon Francis (as detailed in the Petersen thread) even though he is free to take issue with what I wrote. Yet he wants instead to portray ME (at a page where I have again been 'silenced') as the person who 'avoids' discussion and debate. It's the normal slightly paranoid dishonest YEC propaganda - playing to the gallery, or the rabble. They have convinced themselves that this behaviour towards critics pleases God (who am I to 'know' that it does not, since I do not even know whether God exists).
Peterson's debate with Jon Francis is simply repetition of YEC claims Ashley, all of which have been proven false time and time again so it's probably not worth it. The pair of them are simply morons, nothing more.
I'll respond briefly at the Petersen thread.
It's called being intellectually honest, Bob.
I've not looked at this highlighted case as yet, but in general for Cowboy Bob and his YEC buddies lying has become a way of life.
'Myth 1' is NO myth. It is the sordid truth. YECs absolutely detest scientific knowledge they dislike and will stop at nothing to undermine or suppress it.
As for 'myth 6' one could be forgiven for thinking that when Genesis says 'according to their kinds' it COULD have been read as meaning species or even sub-species. "This is incorrect; the Bible teaches the fixity of kinds, not species. Genesis 1 tells us that God created certain kinds, which are a much larger classification than species...". Wishful thinking, trying to read modern scientific knowledge and precision into an ancient text. Where does the Bible EVER refer to speciation? Also: "For example, a wolf and a poodle are two species of the canine kind". Bad example. God did NOT create poodles - humans BRED poodles. "Observable science shows us that the mutations that form new species are strictly based on a loss of genetic information not a gain". One of YEC-ism's most persistent (but necessary for their worldview) untruths.
The Bible is also not exactly explicit about Earth being spherical rather than a circular and 'flat' disc, nor about how Earth revolves around the Sun not the other way round. Yes today's YECs reject geocentrism and a flat Earth but that does not prove that the Bible does likewise.
But most of the article is reasonable - if people think most YECs comply with the other myths, they are poorly informed about YECs.
Sorensen is talking utter garbage at TQEP Facebook page again (under the 'myths' link).
"Whatever we say, evolutionists will manage to find a way to twist our words, or even ignore what we say, putting words in our mouths. Dishonesty is rampant, just ask Eugenie Scott, who approves of such tactics, and the British Centre for Evolution Indoctrination - I mean, for Science Education. ~CBB".
Even I can answer the recent question posed at TQEP that blinded Bob cannot or will not answer. "My only issue is with #6, it says animals can form new species within a kind, that makes sense but then one would go on to say that maybe humans are in the monkey "kind". obviously this isnt true but i think a big evolutionist tactic is twisting around what we say".
The answer being that the phrase 'according to their kinds' does not appear in Genesis 1 when it mentions the creation of the first humans (unlike other animals earlier on 'day six'). Genesis 1:26 (NIV): "Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground".
Sorensen is a stupid liar who clearly prefers propaganda to knowledge.
