In any case, thinking that you can mathematically prove that evolution is wrong suggests a serious misunderstanding of the distinction between axiomatic-deductive reasoning and empirical research (you have not provided the premises Karl Priest supposedly used in this proof). And evolution, by the way, is not a theory of the origin of life, at least not if by "origin of living being" you mean abiogenesis - that's a question for biochemistry, not evolution.G.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08875360501107597863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-49010445762019336792018-02-22T19:55:08.175-05:002018-02-22T19:55:08.175-05:00Dr. Mastropaolo "doesn't have a clue how ...Dr. Mastropaolo "doesn't have a clue how science works"? This despite having and earned Doctorate and Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship and teaching two science courses for 26 years at Cal State? This despite being the physiologist on the Gossamer Albatross and Gossamer Condor teams where, for the first time in history, they got a man to be able to fly totally by human power, trumping the accomplishments of the Wright Brothers?<br /><br />I think it's you loons who don't have the clue. That's why nobody will DARE take up his challenge (or even offer an alternative form of debate). You know that when challenged, your religious faith of evolutionism will be exposed as lunacy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792983527017485227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-67857495086297943542018-02-22T17:01:47.388-05:002018-02-22T17:01:47.388-05:00Karl Priest was a mathematics teacher par excellen...Karl Priest was a mathematics teacher par excellence. He taught my son math so well that at age 13 my son was able to prove to a university calculus professor that an answer in the teacher's edition of the calculus textbook that the professor had used for years was incorrect, resulting in the professor's having to report the correction to the textbook publishers, who had to change the answer in the next edition of the textbook. BTW, IMHO, Karl's specialty (mathematics) is one of the best proofs that evolution (as an explanation of the origin of living beings) is as near to impossible as the meaning of the word can be. If Karl is a "loon," the public school system could use a lot more "loons" instead of the many, many people that it currently employs (the vast majority of whom couldn't teach the opening lesson in a calculus book if their lives depended on it).

I recently encountered the website of a rather unhinged white supremacist by the name of John de Nugent and I think he deserves to be included in the encyclopedia. Not just because he's a vile racist (which he is) but because he also has some rather "unusual" "theories" about history and science (among other things). He mixes UFOs with secret societies, government conspiracies and "cover-ups" by the scientific community with lots of crazy to go around. Of course, the website displays the horrible design and never ending rambling posts full of YouTube-embeds and non sequitur images which seem almost mandatory for loon-sites (not as bad as TimeCube, but still).<br /><br />Here is an example (I read it on his website just recently but it's been taken down now apparently, I was still able to find it with a little help from archive.org thought) of Mr Nugent's "ideas" following the findings that we all carry some Neanderthal DNA: https://web.archive.org/web/20111127204139/http://www.democratic-republicans.us/neanderthals-and-semites (spoiler: of course it's the Semitic peoples who have the most Neanderthal DNA, you can see it by looking at their slanted foreheads!)<br /><br />If you have the time, please take a look at his website, it contains plenty of material fitting for inclusion here and "N" <em>is</em> coming up soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02826437255624677282noreply@blogger.com
