Can ID be disproven?

Iacchus said:
So, why differentiate between randomness and true randomness in not so many words?

Because they are different things, Iacchus.

Don't you realize that this is the same argument that I've been making?

No, I didn't.

Is it because there might be implications that true randomness, hence any element of change, can only exist outside of the Universe (i.e., time and space), in accord with the notion of perfection?

No, it isn't, Iacchus.
 
And you should learn how to stop speaking out of both sides of your mouth.

I am sure you can back that up with evidence, Iacchus, otherwise it is quite an uncivil claim to make about someone...

There's no need to back it up with evidence, according to you. But then again, it is quite clear what he said ... regarding the notion that randomness should not be construed with "true" randomness. Doesn't something smell just the least bit fishy about such a statement? All he has to do is retract what he said, and say it's not true, and yet he seems to have no intention of doing so.

There you go again, putting words in my mouth

Perhaps the problem is that he understands the topic, and you simply do not.

And need I remind you of what you said in the other post? ...

Mercutio said:
No, he only needs proof if he makes a claim of fact. He did not. You have repeatedly made claims, and without proof. There is nothing wrong with his pointing that out.

He claimed that I don't know what I'm talking about or, that it was simply a matter of wishful thinking. Now, please repeat after me, "I, am incapable of admitting that I abide by a double standard."

Why, have you got proof?

Does he?

No..he doesn't...boy is that good!

Heh...whew...
 
So, wait... "he's a pathological liar" is not a claim? It is your attempt to refute his claim?

I don't think you have quite got the hang of burden of proof yet, Iacchus.
 
Iacchus said:
And, as I have pointed out, both he (Mercutio) and Taffer are pathological liars.

"as you have pointed out"...oh, that really is good...

Sorry, I am really dumb today--could you maybe remind me where it is you did this?

And he still didn't..

Wow..whew..heh.

Ok.

Proof that Iacchus doesn't understand the topic...hmmmm

Wherever are we going to find THAT evidence?

Oh, wait! I KNOW! We'll just read the thread in which he asks for proof!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Doesn't anyone else see the joke he played on himself? Funniest damn thing I've seen in a while....

Maybe I just have a twisted sense of humor...

How about the ability of bacteria to digest nylon?

Can they digest nylon and only nylon? Or can they digest long organic compounds? Have these little cells evolved the ability to digest nylon, or did they have it all along, but there was no nylon lying around to digest. Could they digest, for example, spider silk?

And it's bad enough that my suits get eaten by moths. Now my crummy clothes will get eaten by microorganisms. It isn't fair.

When looking up speciation, it seems that broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and wild mustard are darned good examples that might be worth studying. I knew they were closely related, but I didn't realize that they might actually be capable of cross-pollination. Broccoli and cabbage? Known common ancestor, possibly in historical times? Who knew?
