Uncommon Descent: ass-raping the rotting corpse of irony
Anyone who has followed the Evolution/Creationism debate for two weeks will chuckle when they hear the words “engineer” and “Intelligent Design” in the same sentence. It seems like every other day someone in the anti-evolution world is promoting something - other than peer-reviewed research, of course - written by an engineer who has crunched the numbers and discovered that descent with modification just can’t happen. Veteran tard miners laugh at the word “engineer” the same way that Dr. William A. Dembski laughs at farty noises.
GilDodgen and commenter bFast have tag-teamed to provide us with one of Uncommon Descent’s most irony-meter-shattering moments. Ever.
GilDodgen:
A family friend, who is a brilliant electrical engineer, recently spent some time at our home for a holiday get-together. The topic of ID came up and he asked me how I could possibly have bought into such a silly idea.
Gil, how much does this guy know about biology? I would suspect that any “brilliant” electrical engineer would line up with us software developers to voice his incredulity.
Millions of years from now, geologists are going to discover a layer of irony buried beneath the earth’s surface and they will designate it the G/b Boundary in honor of GilDodgen and bFast.
I’m running out of naming options for these increasingly sick people. I started out a month ago with Church Burners. Then I had to add Ebola Boys. Church Burning Ebola Boys. Now what - Church Burning Baby Butchering Ebola Boys? That’s too long. Too unwieldy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (Source:

Spending Time at GilDodgen’s home over Christmas? Sounds to me like a recipe for a Horror Flick. I know I could absolutely not do it. Well, not without having to resort to baseball bats (aluminum), fire, tweezers and near-plugs.

This is certainly not new, in the early days of the creationism movement, a huge number of creationists were indeed engineers claiming to be “scientists” because they had degrees. It’s probably one of the earliest blatant dishonesties that creationism ever perpetuated, I’m not surprised that it continues to this day, are you?

That statement from bFast is so inexorably wonderful that I had convinced myself he had to be a sock-puppet… But I ran a Voight-Kampff on his other posts and he seems clean. If he isn’t real… Is there such a thing as a Nexus 7!?
