I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly. I am from Guinea-Bissau and learning to write in English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "At the life of the stance is a young negah that is made the scalp." Thanks 8). Mahesa.

Excuse me, but we exactly want to replace one set of practitioners with another. It is all about the right people taking power away from the wrong people.

We used to think that accusations should withstand scrutiny. Well, some of the population here used to think that way. It would be nice if it became that way again sometime soon.

Exactly! Dembski does not believe evolution exists, therefore Dembski must believe that Pianka is mistaken about the possibility of Ebola evolving to an airborne form. Even if he believes Pianka would attempt to kill off 90% of humans using airborne Ebola, he must also believe that it is scientifically impossible (according to his 'science'). Hence he is a big liar if he says he honestly believes Pianka is a threat. He's either lying about believing in the threat, or lying about his stance on evolution. “Are the creationists over there worried about bird flu `evolving’ into an airborne strain?”

As Bruce Thomson says, a pandemic may be on it's way. Are the creationists over there worried about bird flu `evolving' into an airborne strain? Dembski is being malevolant. There's no way he could honestly believe that a scientist planning to unleash an artificially created disease would announce the fact at a conference! That's like Doctor No/Doom/Drakken announcing his master plan to James Bond/Fantastic Four/Kim Possible, giving time for them (and William Dembski) to come up with a counterplan.
