The decline of scientific integrity

[PhineasJWhoopee]

I think that the great harm the methodology of Darwinism has had on science is well stated by W.R. Thompson in his introduction to a 1963 reprint of "The Origin of Species":

"The success of Darwinism was accompanied by a decline in scientific intergrity. This is already evident in the reckless statements of Haeckel and in the shifty, devious and histrionic arguments of T.H. Huxley...
To establish the continuity required by the theory (of evolution), historical arguments are invoked even though historical evidence is lacking. Thus are engendered those fragile towers of hypothesis, where fact and fictions intermingle in an inextricable confusion."

The widespread acceptance of this "new scientific method" in which imagination, speculation, and "consensus" take the place of rigorous experimental proof, threatens to pull science back toward the days of superstition.

I am disappointed, I was hoping for a global warming thread.

Hey anyone want an Aston Martin convertible? It's broken down about a mile before the Camp Bowie exit going east to Ft Worth on I-30. It's in the median in front of 2 strip clubs and a porno video store. There's also a crashed late 90's Corolla a few hundred yards behind it if that's your thing.

So your entire argument on the "decline of scientific integrity" comes from one quote 50 years ago?

As long as it wasn't driven by black, atheist, homosexuals. We don't want to offend the OP's delicate sensibilities.

What evidence do you have that there is cheese inside that cake?

Hey OP, care to share what you do for a living so that we can exchange personal insults? Or are you more comfortable flinging your shit without worrying about being held accountable for what you do?

Anyone who's actually read OOS knows that Darwin was extremely nervous about publishing his theory because of the inevitable backlash from the religiously minded. Thankfully for us all there were enough people in the scientific community of his era that allowed themselves to recognize good science when they saw it, and the rest is history. History that cannot be rewritten as much as the ignorant and biased amongst us would like.

It's to the point now where we don't even have to bother arguing with you. We can just point and laugh and the ignorant Christian. I hope you bought that guy's book. I really do. 🙄

Bulk cheesepie?😱

Praise Darwin.

Evidence that I can show you? I don't got any. I have bought that cake and consumed it before.

You are just going to have to go on faith alone :awe:


humm, apparently that is the mixed fruit shortcake, not the strawberry cheesecake.

oh snap, I linked to the wrong picture. This is the ID cake.

 

[sdifox]

Now this is a strawberry cheesecake.

Most lifers take years to reach that level. With this post and others like it the OP will be one soon enough.

Most of these posts are much ado about nothing.

Now this is a strawberry cheesecake.

nice, we're wiping out those with strawberry allergies!

Now this is a strawberry cheesecake.

I see no strawberries, only half strawberries. Only foolish scientists would claim these half berries were once whole. Where is the proof?
