John J May on Newstalk (Sean Moncrieff)

J.J. May promoting his book 'The Origin of Specious Nonsense'.
Ireland's new pet creationist seems to be a particularly uneducated one.
See If you can count the amount of questions he dodges.

Great chat. Nice to hear someone take on Evolution in Ireland. Evolutionists virtually never deal with real science but attack creationists on other grounds to deflect from the glaring logical facts and thereby show the poverty of their arguments (like many of the commentators below!). Design always points to Designer, unless you hate the Chap!

@anthonybrabazon You're absolutely right. There are virtually no books about evolution as a scientific discipline, the vast majority of scientists receive their funding for writing papers on how silly creationists are.

Many scientists will actively avoid debating creationists, since you're all so notoriously reasonable and accepting of defeat.

To put it another way, they don't feed the trolls.

you can't disagree until you read his book

[WhatIAm99]

@sam22ish I don't need to read his book, there's a fairly concise list of points on his website, points which are repeated throughout the book.

They're uninformed and incredulous. So from there I can safely make the assumption that it's not even worth my time reading it.

John J May = stupid lying fucking cunt.

He says chance and disorder cannot produce order but its well known that chaotic and disordered patterns eventually form a pattern of order. It's just you cannot predict it. Like swinging a double pendulum, it will form a pattern but it is impossible to predict how it will swing.

a scientific theory is not a set of assumptions :/

I don't know where to start...

@anthonybrabazon oh really? learn a little bit, if you don't want to do any research, watch these two videos at least

/watch?v=_wv6kgjOEL0

/watch?v=eGmLDKQp_Qc

although i can tell already that you either WONT watch the video, or you'll go into it with a closed mind, dismiss everything that he says without a second thought. BUT, if on the off chance you CARE about your belief, watch the whole series, maybe you'll learn something.

@anthonybrabazon Evolusionist are the ones who deal with reality, while creationist deal with fantasy.

[mikdalton]

There's so many flaws, it would be hard to know where to start.

Or as George Bernard Shaw once said to a writer who complained about a critical review that Shaw had written about his book and how he hadn't read the whole book,;

"You don't have to eat a whole egg to know that it's rotten."

[noclass33]

what a tool.i could tear apart the ridiculous claims he makes but i think it is better to just say what a fucking tool.i stole his book because i refuse to pay for such tripe-it is absolute bolloxology dressed up as science.he has a silly religious agenda and manipulates the truth to suit his risible claims.total fuckin tool.
