Dickhead Files Lawsuit In PA claiming ToE Unscientific

[cowiz]

In my home state too!!!

Spot the canards! Go, I bet you can't!!!! What a tosser.

MEDIA ADVISORY, Jan. 27, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Tom Ritter, who taught physics and chemistry for over a decade, has filed a federal lawsuit against The Blue Mountain School District in the Middle District of Pennsylvania (13:11 – CV – 116), where he resides. This same district that rendered the infamous Kitzmiller decision in 2005. The argument presented in full:

Evolution is Unscientific

"The theory of evolution by cumulative natural selection is the only theory we know of that is in principle capable of explaining the existence of organized complexity." -- Richard Dawkins, famous Atheist

Biology studies organisms. It can also explain how organisms got that way, but studying organisms does not require explaining how they got that way, and the theory of evolution is bad science.

Evolutionists cannot demonstrate that three critical points are even possible, let alone that they actually happened:

(1) No one has demonstrated that life can be created from non-life. (Reports of artificial DNA do not alter this fact. Life is still required.)

(2) No one has demonstrated that a new "sexual species" can be created. (Since the definition of species is contested, for these purposes it is defined as an organism that can breed with its own kind and produce fertile offspring, but cannot breed with its ancestors.)

(3) Evolutionists theorize the human brain evolved from lower forms. Over 50 years into the age of computers, machines can crunch numbers far better and faster than humans, recognize and use language and tools, and beat us in chess. Yet science has yet to build even a rudimentary computer that can contemplate its own existence, the hallmark of the human brain. (Contemplating your existence is best understood as imagining what will remain after your death.) And no animal, no matter how "intelligent," can do this either.

Ask anyone who espouses evolution if these three points are not true.

If evolution is unscientific, why teach it? Because no Creator means no God. In other words, evolution taught without a possible alternative is Atheism.

Now Atheism rests on an article of faith (A strong belief that cannot be proven but is nonetheless believed).

Therefore Atheism is a religion.

And it is illegal to teach religion in the public schools.

(I am not defending creationism or intelligent design. But evolution has not proven its case, and until it does, saying it is the only explanation for present life is Atheism.)

You can't see the dipshit for the canards.



Oh look. There's an email address for him.

Good luck with that Mr. Ritter.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

He'll be slaughtered in court like the previous creotards. I can see the hardcore boys lining up now. Coyne, Prothero, Myers, the usual suspects.

I am composing as we speak. Also sent it on to my good friend PZ.

Is he rich? How will he afford the bill?

Is he rich? How will he afford the bill?

I'm sure he will have no trouble finding religious people and/or organizations to foot the bill.

Has he asked a dolphin or a great ape ?

My boss is a PhD chemist and he also fails to make the distinction between abiogenesis and evolution. Smart guy, too. We'll just have to live with the fact that you need to understand some chemistry in order to do decent biology, but there really isn't any need to understand biology in order to do chemistry. There's even less of a connection between biology and physics- as far as physicists needing to understand biology in order to really get their subject matter.

There is no viable alternative to the ToE. Not one. Where we draw the line between the uninformed and apathetic (like my boss) and truly doltish wastes of brain matter is their failure to recognize this fact. Lucky for me, my boss can agree that evolution is the only viable scientific theory which accounts for the diversity of life on Earth and in the fossil record. I'd hate to have to find another PhD I can work with.

I used to know a fairly prominent Korean physicist who had worked out an elaborate hypothesis that would leave a slot open for his xtian diety, despite an admitted absolute lack of the sort of credible, testable evidence that he otherwise demanded in his physics.
