http://www.uncommondescent.com/evolution/no-thanks-ill-take-two-fivers-dumping-darwin-from-british-currency/ quote:
A couple of days ago the Bank of England issued a new 20-pound note, using new security features, and took the occasion to change the “famous person.” This is a news-worthy cause for British Darwin-doubters, who should urge that Darwin be dumped from the 10-pound note whenever there is a new security-upgrade version, on grounds that he is the chief prophet of the materialist religion, and his presence on the 10-pound note is an inappropriate endorsement of that materialist religion and its related anti-religious ferment. Now, it's true that Britain has no 1st Amendment, but still, Britain is trying to be multi-cultural. A part of the effort could include a long list of choice inflammatory quotes from the new anti-religion books currently out in the bookstores (and in Darwin's own writings — see the previous post here at UD); the effort could point out that the government, by honoring Darwin, implicitly lends its prestige to their venom.

So, Darwin was venomous? Or is it just his followers, this mythical Church of Darwinist Materialism? And anybody note the tone Dembski himself is characteristically using? I'd call that "venomous," if only I hadn't learned from Filthy the other day that it's only called venom when it's injected. When a snake spews a toxic substance, it's called "poison."
Dembski spews poison.

Dembski is a twit who makes himself less relevent each time he opens his gob.
I find it endlessly amusing when he and his twitlings blither on about the ToE being a religion; a faith. Really, that is the slimed-over, crusted-on, bottom scrapings of the barrel; argumentum ad refuse.
But what else does he have? Virtually all of biological science is in opposition to him/them and backs it up with sound, evidencial support. If I were in his shoes, I'd shut my yap and reconsider my position.

What, all three of them? Dembski must be under the illusion that there are actually people outside of the religious cretins in the United States (and a few dolts in Australia), who are actually "Darwin-doubters." |

They are issued only to alienate you Brits from the jolly old pound sterling, in order to pave the way for the (gasp!) Euro.

| Being a sucker for punishment, I often read what is posted at Dembski's blog. Now-a-days, his writing don't even deal with "trying to disprove evolution" but merely with irrelevant junk such as the one mentioned by Starman. The guy's even managed to loose his lack of credibility (yeah, yeah, double negative, I know). |

Ugh!
The question is not if, but how often, Dembski was dropped on his head as a baby. |
The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.
