He was upset, and it is not wrong for him to be so. Anyone should have been upset by Mr. Stein's folly on that page. That Mr. Stein was added to the list of people Orwell hates is a red flag.
There is no actual list, Ragtime, as I'm sure you know. And "hate" is probably too strong a word to describe my annoyance at Stein's dishonesty and foolishness. People like that aggravate me.

One would not need to be dishonest in any way to point out that the evidence (the evidence honestly arrived at, that is) shows evolution to be shabby and full of holes.
Yes, you do. Give an example to back up this assertion if you can. There is plenty of evidence for evolution, and it has even been observed directly. You lose.

Scientists' pathetic defenses of evolution are laughable and sad, and quite clearly twisted and biased toward perpetuating their own careers.
As compared to creationist arguments that rely on a lack of a basic understanding of thermodynamics? Give an example of a defense that is "laughable," "sad," or "twisted and biased."

Oh wait a moment... is this a lead in to another of your anti-theist conspiracy theories? Us godless scientists clearly have been fabricating evidence found by numerous researchers all over the world, many of whom are Christian themselves.

It is called "sarcasm." I should realize to use it in moderation here, considering most of us have some form of ASD, but I thought the -
- made my sarcastic intent obvious enough. At this point you are just being deliberately antagonistic while refusing to address any relevant issues.

Not really. It puts Creationism out of the equation to be exact, not God.
O RLY?
So are Creationist theories, models, hypotheses able to be falsified?
Not to you, since you will continue to believe them regardless of the evidence presented.
You are so clueless and willing to tell me how I think, clever you believe you are.
Are they falsifiable? Yes or no?
If they are then they are in the realm of science, but if they aren't they they cannot be disproved. Take your pick and think about why you pick it.
yes of course creationism if falsifiable by science
That is delusion.
Unless the "science" you refer to is corrupted by human bias (as I've previously suggested). Creationism is not falsifiable;that it is, is perhaps the most absurd claim I've ever heard.
i wasnt referring to the ultimate beginning... but things like deducing how old the earth is ect... i've said before, there's no proving god or anything of the like... so that's not what i meant... sorry i was unclear.

I could swear I posted an even worse one featuring Ben Stein.
Yes you did. You added to the list of people I hate when you did that.
Ah, evolution. Bringing people closer together in love and respect, one hatred at a time.
See, Christianity teaches to love our enemies, and "enemies" is certainly a stronger term than simply "people who believe in evolution", so our command to love people is all the more applicable to them. If evolutionists don't listen to our arguments, we don't hate them for it. But you just admitted to hate Ben Stein. And I hear lots of hatred in the evolution threads coming from the evolutionists, but iamnotaparakeet and I have no hatred towards you -- to us, it's just a disagreement on positions, not a call to arms.
But this hatred from you and other anti-God people in the evolution threads evidences that you're on the wrong side of the spiritual spectrum. Consider that for a moment.
that i consider you a good friend and respect your beliefs (as civilly as i can)... should be a demonstration that that is not the case...
yes it's a disagreement on positions... but you are offering no contributions to working through it... you just say nu uh... and never actually engage in the conversation
at least iamnotaparakeet has stated what he's willing to believe and reject.
