		<description>Hi Henry,

How are you? I just found your blog and thought I&#039;d drop in with a little information you may not have. I have been working for over 13 years (with mostly the webpage I linked to) debating wherever I can find the subject being discussed.

In 1995, I had an epiphany of sorts and discovered a new way to view the seven race theory of evolution. You can read about it on my webpage. I just thought you might like to see another author&#039;s point of view and so I am linking to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.enlightennext.org/magazine/j35/real-evolution-debate-intro.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;an article&lt;/a&gt; that provides us with a very neat tabulation and diagram showing how 12 categories of evolutionary thinking exist and where they fall within the range of extremes and middle ground. 

I, personally, have always studied #9 Category (Esotericism), but do not find the author familiar with my work, which can be found by searching around the internet with a new word I use: girasas. This word is very important because it helps us to view evolution as occurring by descent through animal-ascent through girasas kingdoms. The cycle of descent followed by ascent occurs 49 times, according to the writings in theosophy before a kingdom advances from one kingdom into the next. 

It is by appearances of two kingdoms being present within the form during the 2nd and 6th races that misleads researchers into thinking that it actually happens much more quickly than it does. There is also an illusion due to angelic kingdoms accompanying each evolving kingdom and occupying forms that make the habitat for the evolving lives. It shows a complete range of animals in existence now from low forms to nearly human forms when (according to this view) the evolving life has only progressed halfway through its range (since this is the 4th round out of 7). When the evolving life ascends, the angelic lives take the place of that kingdom, and continues the gamut from wherever they have &quot;paused&quot; to the top of the animal forms. 

We have been warned about illusion and now we have suggestions that evolution could be playing out in a cyclical manner rather than a straightforward one - and isn&#039;t that the same problem scientists have had before?</description>

		<description>Still can&#039;t provide a case, huh?

Maybe one from Louisiana?

Anywhere?

That&#039;s what I thought... YOU ARE A LIAR FOR THE LIBERAL AGENDA.</description>

		<description>What an airhead.  I have posted on Brandon&#039;s blog numerous times, and everyone reading this should pay close attention to the fact that Henry can&#039;t refute my points, so he &quot;begins to ignore them&quot; with lame rationale about how they&#039;ve already been refuted.

LOL!!!</description>

		<description>As one last note to all, let me suggest that island, and any other interested readers, go comment on the material that Brandon is posting on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://flascience.org/wp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Florida Citizens for Science blog&lt;/a&gt;.

I find it quite interesting that island came here to post comments, rather than doing so there.  Perhaps he hopes to avoid scrutiny in a larger market?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m going to begin ignoring you.  I and many others have repeatedly answered your points--I didn&#039;t just start posting on this yesterday.

Of course, you have already begun posturing about how I have to respond to &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; on every point, but I have already discovered you are empty handed, ignorant, and as arrogant as you are ignorant.</description>

		<description>Gee, you know what else, Texas and other states have had similar bills in place for quite a while now, yet they haven&#039;t had one court case to date.

Can you provide one, or are you simply lying?</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I put Lenny on the witness stand, and force him to admit that IDists have a case based on the evidence that he is trying to explain away with his multiverse theory and you see it as “if you don’t accept my theory you’re stuck with [insert unacceptable alternative here].”</p>
<p>That figures.</p>
<p>Well, Lenny isn&#8217;t the only one, but physicists aren&#8217;t as clever about hiding their politics:</p>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Oh me, oh my, we have been visited by a reader of the creationist joke book.&lt;/i&gt;

No, I am an atheist, and you still haven&#039;t proven how it is going these laws enable creationists to teach religion in school.</description>

Ready to be honest?</p>
<p>I didn’ think so…
</p></blockquote>
<p>About what?  I&#8217;ll honestly say that your quote is not evidence of much of anything except that a scientist is trying to argue in favor of his theory with a &#8220;if you don&#8217;t accept my theory you&#8217;re stuck with [insert unacceptable alternative here].&#8221;  Of course it&#8217;s also possible you&#8217;ve misquoted or quoted out of context.  I haven&#8217;t read that actual book.</p>
<p>In terms of scientific evidence, the ID crowd has empty pockets.  You have yet to present any.</p>
