""They [evolutionists] are not stupid people, they are bright, but they are bright enough to know there is no scientific evidence they can give in a minitrial," Mastropaolo said." (Scratching my head. So, he felt confident about putting up the $10,000 because he is counting on the intelligence of the evolutionists not to accept...??? I are cornfuzzled. There is a dissonance here.)

The catch?  You have to have $10K to put up first, and you go before a "judge" that's been picked by a science-denying creationist.

wait a sec.....he demands that the scientific community present evidence, while all he has to do is show faith? From the article: 

Contest rules state that evidence must be scientific, which means it is "objective, valid, reliable and calibrated".

How is any literal interpretation (THAT word is hardly objective in itself) of the Bible going to be "objective" or especially "valid", proven "reliable" and "calibrated". It seems the good creationist has set up a one-sided minitrial in order to collect $20,000.00 (the other party has to put up $10,000.00 also!)

no it doesn't, Derik DaSilva a negative does not prove a positive. If I don't care to involve myself in a scam, that does not make the scam a reality.

It must be his own piss that keeps the creationist warm in his bubble. ;-)

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
