Kentucky leading the way!

Only one person in this thread has actually supplied a falsifiable prediction

Your saying this is just as meaningless as if you were to say "only one person in this thread has actually supplied a Turing-complete language," because in both cases you're using terms that you don't understand.

[MrFun]

Ok, deal. That's an acceptable prediction. Evolution predicts that we will not find homonid fossils in the same strata as dinosaurs.

FIRE CAN'T MELT STEEL!

...there, it's out of my system.

[loinburger]

I wonder if things like 9/11 Truth conspiracy theories are beneficial in that they shift focus away from more dangerous things like Anti-Vaccine conspiracy theories ("Hey, you should believe my dangerous lies about vaccines" "Sorry, I'm too busy believing some relatively benign lies about 9/11"), or if in contrast the mere existence of 9/11 Truth conspiracy theories lend unintentional support to Anti-Vaccine conspiracy theories ("Vaccines cause autism" "My critical reasoning skills have been destroyed through my belief in 9/11 conspiracy theories, so I'll gladly believe in your Anti-Vaccine conspiracy theory").

I've always thought those conspiracies existed to distract us from the truth about JFK.

[Guynemer]

Indeed. It's all so obvious that JFK was a replicant plant by the Vesuvians in a plot to steal all of our Gruyere cheese back to their greenhouse hellscape of a planet.

Lee Harvey Oswald: Earth's greatest hero.

[kentonio]

I always read "kentonio" as a hybrid of Kentucky and San Antonio, and that name was chosen to imply staunch conservatism.

That just goes to show how the complex answer is not always the correct answer.

But Guynemer, where does Donald Trump's toupee fit into this conspiracy? I know it has to play a role somewhere.

[loinburger]

The Fungi from Yuggoth have similar looking hair, so Trump is acclimating us to our future masters

[Aeson]

That just goes to show how the complex answer is not always the correct answer.

I'm glad you have finally come clean and implied my simple answer is the truth. I already knew it wasn't the complex answer of course. (eg. K stands Kelvin, kent for Kent, ent is for ents, onio is short for onion because ents from Kent take such a long time to say onion that they only got to onio before you got tired of waiting and just entered what you had so far. What Kelvin has to do with this is a mystery, which is of course why it was chosen in the first place just to throw us off the scent. Masking teh scent being very important because onions smell very distinctly, as does Kent.)

[Lorizael]

The Kelvin part should be obvious, Aeson. Kelvin, as BK informed us, disproved evolution. Kentonio is a secret YEC.

[MikeH]

Falsifiable predictions of Evolution - comprehensively proved that there are loads of falsifiable predictions, long ago.

There are huge numbers of falsifiable predictions that have already been proved to be correct.

eg. this well known proper paper on the subject from 1973.

It's just another one of many, many creationist myths that sounds like it is a clever argument but clearly isn't if you have the vaguest notion of what you are talking about.

[Hauldren Collider]

I wonder if Ben realizes that Catholics aren't creationists?

[MikeH]

Their stance is almost more ridiculous.

[Lorizael]

BK is so Catholic that he knows what the Pope really means even when he doesn't say it.
