Post-Darwinist: Intelligent design and popular culture: Spore game site dupes atheists

This lady is an enjoyable read.  After this you may want to visit  This youtube site and lol as Will Wright explains Spore and Frank Drake, founder of SETI, displays his own 'intelligently improved human' on his tie.  Intelligent design!?! You bet.  Try intelligent designing yourself at Spore.com

======================================================

The Wall Street Journal appears to have noticed Spore, the "design your own universe" game which subtly mocks the Darwinian fairy tale - if we go by Robert Costa's story, "Creation Simulation" (September 19, 2008):
Apparently, a horde of professional and amateur atheists noticed it also:

One site, AntiSpore.com, appeared to be set up to counter what one poster, a self-described concerned Christian parent, called the game's "propaganda aimed directly at our children to teach them evolution instead of creationism." But after thousands of postings on AntiSpore, mostly by angst-filled atheist gamers bewildered and angry that someone could actually question evolution, the anonymous creator of the site announced last week that AntiSpore was in fact a hoax.
[ ... ]
But while many proponents of evolutionary theory, and fans of Spore, were spoiling for a fight, their opponents have never really showed up to do battle -- there were no Spore-inspired creationist rallies, no talk-show specials, no railing sermons. The Spore debate has not devolved into a modern-day Scopes Monkey Trial. What happened?

The story essentially insults traditional Christians by assuming that they should have been as stupid as the atheists whose creating story is Darwinism - to which any magical result can be credited. So the big question is, why aren't the Christians so stupid? Why didn't they generally fall for gimmicks, like they are supposed to do in the script - and did not in fact do in the Scopes Monkey Trial either?

Harvard's propaganda for Obama

I liked this article by Washington Ellis of the WorldNetDaily.  However, I ' Reader Digested' his work so you might visit his site and look for more from Mr. Ellis.

Let me give you a few examples of this Pravdaesque technique from professor Sunstein's article:

• Throughout the article, Sunstein defines Obama with such words as "empiricist" (acquisition of knowledge through experience), "progressive" (code word for "liberal" or "liberalism" which since President Ronald Reagan, has become an infamous epithet), "independent thinker," "visionary minimalist" (advocating minimal [small] forms of government). Honestly, Sen. Obama possesses none of these qualities.
• Professor Sunstein writes: Obama believes in an individual right to own guns. Not so. Obama changed his view to support the Second Amendment and conventional conservatism because he saw the handwriting on the wall regarding the groundbreaking, pro-Second Amendment case, D.C. v. Heller (2008) where the Supreme Court majority overturned a 33-year handgun ban in Washington, D.C.

Other issues Obama has been forced to move to the right on – thus angering his liberal base – include:

• Obama's backtracking on his strong and early opposition to the Iraq war;
• Obama has said the death penalty may be appropriate for child rape;
• Obama has voted for wiretapping reform that includes retroactive immunity for telephone companies;
• Obama recently said that he does not want to reopen NAFTA negotiations unilaterally.

As a professor of constitutional law at Harvard, Sustain's should be ashamed of himself for presenting such fawning propaganda as a reasoned critique, as if his only readership were brainwashed cultists. I am not one such person.

Moldy Mattress Nets Inmate $295k - September 19, 2008

If you go to the link noted below, you will see the actual document making $295,000 the amount paid to the inmate for this oversight.  I wonder what % of the jury is married with children? 

Moldy Mattress Nets Inmate $295k Jury: Lousy bedding violated Wisconsin felon's constitutional rights SEPTEMBER 19--A Wisconsin man serving time for reckless homicide yesterday was awarded $295,000 by a federal jury that found the inmate's constitutional rights were violated when he was forced to spend two months sleeping on a moldy, waterlogged mattress. Reggie Townsend, 29, scored the six-figure windfall after a U.S. District Court panel decided that he was improperly treated while locked up in late-2004 at the New Lisbon Correctional Institution.
