It seems the article I wrote for richarddawkins.net has not been approved, (I understand why).
The article was about Dawkins use of the claim "science is working on it" and how it is in fact a claim to wishful thinking, (argumentum ad futuris). Which in turn is not a response to any question and shows his false logic, (it is a logical fallacy after all)... Some of you may remember I started a thread to this very topic.
I guess this is why they check over the submitted articles and why they took down the forum, (I heard there used to be a forum there), so the people who have good points, that cannot be explained away, do not get their points heard.
I'll be compiling this experience as yet another reason why Richard Dawkins and his posse don't have a clue.
Or perhaps someone on here can redeem the statement "science is working on it" as a logical answer for questions, which in turn would redeem richarddawkins.net and its choice to not post my article.

Would you want to post your article here? Remember this site is indexed by Google so if you name the thread appropriately it will show up under Google searches when folks are searching for Dawkins.

Here is the thread from before
http://www.evolution...?showtopic=4926
It is a close representation to what I wrote on there. (I didn't put the science-deity stuff since I figured I was drawing a long bow with that, in terms of the people on that site and what they themselves believe in)
When I searched for the term "science is working on it" here is a Dawkins-fanboi using the same claim as if it was valid.
"As our hero Richard Dawkins is fond of saying, we don't know, science is working on it."

Interests:I enjoy playing, composing and recording music, and writing poetry and lyrics. I play electric and acoustic guitars, bass guitars, drums and percussion.
I’m an avid reader, and enjoy history (especially ancient history), philosophy, technical literature that lends itself to practical applications, science fiction and science fact, world religion (especially Judeao-Christian), debate transcripts, and anything concerning all phases of Christian Apologetics (Philosophical, Historical, scientific etc…).
I’m an avid hunter, enjoy shooting various weapons, and reload various calibers of hand-gun and rifle cartridges. I used to be into archery, but don’t really have the time for it anymore.
I’m retired Military, and currently work as a Technical Instructor/Curriculum Developer with over twenty-seven years of technical experience with testing and application of various system applications.
I currently have two pre-grad degrees, and am in the process of pursuing simultaneous post-grad degrees. -

They took down the forum? I use to frequent it a few years ago!

Yeah I did some research apparently there was a big stink about it since all the old posts were totally wiped, and anyone who spoke out against it were banned

Their truth doesn't need explaining, just believing.
