Re: Universe's Intelligent Design by Evolution (UIDE)©

To the various offspring of MM, seen and unseen, hello. To MM himself, hello again.

You are presently very likely seeing me as one the enemies, although, disappointingly, I haven't received any death threats from you all yet. [Are you afraid of a myopic of fifty seven year old who has already had two strokes? ]

Boerseun and Big Dog have expressed their viewpoints with some clarity. My take on those views is irrelevant to what I wish to say, but for the record I am in broad agreement with them. [I mean really, MM, you must know you are a nutter.]

With all that said you probably can't think of a single reason why you should listen to me, or pay any heed to the advice I am about to give. That is you choice, but it is would also be your loss.

You are failing and will continue to fail in your goals for three reasons:

1) You offer no evidence for your more extraordinary claims.
2) Your writing style is an unattractive concatenation of pseudo-terminology.
3) Your thesis is nonsense.

I cannot offer any advice on the latter (other than abandon it), but on the first two points I believe I can. Take it or leave it as you wish.

If you wish to convince people, especially on a site such as this, it can only be done by offering structured argument and organised evidence. You have failed repeatedly to do so. Instead you have relied upon bluster and argument from authority. These will not work. You must change this approach if you are to stand any chance of success.

Secondly, cut the New World Order pretentious-speak. Certain of your paragraphs are nicely written, have a clear point, conveyed with conviction and sincerity. These, regrettably, are few and far between. When you lapse into your theory you are using words and phrases that may well resonate with you, but are gobbledygook to the mass audience. Therefore:

Define any term very clearly, thoroughly and comprehensively, from multiple directions, before using it routinely.
Do not use a term in a radically different way from how it is currently understood in society or science.
Respond positively when people ask for clarification of ideas or evidence.

This advice is not free. To accept it you will have to pay a heavy price in re-evaluating aspects of yourself. I suspect, sadly, you will be unwilling to pay that price. Your choice.


Two minor points: MoonBaby and Strictly Platonic - I started reading when I was three. I wrote my first novel when I was nine or ten. It was crap. I bet yours were too.

Boerseun: You know I support your views, but a pm is a personal message. You should not have quoted from MM's pm to you without his agreement. That is a breach of internet etiquette and was, in my opinion, wrong.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
