I don't really care much any more what DCP says. He's the buffoon. He needs a devil to gain relevance. Other than that, it's just nonsense, more silly Mormonism invented nonsense. 6 days of b.s. Witnesses to b.s. If people here would avoid talking about him, he'd start posting here just to create controversy, in order to get his "devil" back, to be relevant again. It's pathetic. Posters here need to ignore him for 3 to 6 months. Let's see what happens. I bet it'd be must read blog posts.
Myth is misused by the powerful to subjugate the masses all too often.

Thanks for posting that Shulem. Shades would never let his claws come out at Dr. Scratch over this, but it is nice to trace the source back . . .
Notice that Doctor Scratch posted a link to the quoted material within the last sentence of his first paragraph.

Be ye like unto Doctor Scratch.

I think we are already seeing a precursor to that. When there is a little less notice here of what he posts, he seems to respond by repurposing his more outrageous or nonsensical screeds. These include topics like dowsing, or obviously debunked NDE stories, silly pseudoscience (think psi and esp) or even just his old plagiarisms. He used to regularly pick on gemli as a segue into his putdowns of the clueless atheists he see here, but gemli seems to have completed his highly successful run at the Silly and Nope and retired in a blaze of glory.

On a separate note, given what a successful poster gemli was at the Times, I can only imagine how many of his readers regularly followed him into the comment sections of SeN. What an eye-opener that must have been! Peterson may very well have been instrumental in cementing a highly negative opinion of the Mormon religion in the minds of countless Eastern seaboard readers.

As an example, Afore posted this today:
Today, we know plant and animal cells to be almost incredibly complex, in both form and function. More so, apparently, than any factory that humans have ever built. And DNA itself — completely unknown in Darwin’s day, to say nothing of its structure being understood (which had to wait until the work of Francis Crick and James Watson [and Rosalind Franklin] in the 1950s) — is remarkably complex. That is beautifully illustrated in this newly available photograph of a human cell: " ‘View of amusement park’: Image of Human cell model leaves netizens mesmerised: Mesmerising and complex beautiful structures always tend to leave netizens in awe and recently, yet another image of detailed human cell model has gone viral."
The underlined part goes NOT to a "newly available photograph," but to this 2020 link:
https://www.republicworld.com/amp/enter ... mesmerised

And here is the Snopes report on this:
A highly detailed image shared on social media in 2020 showed the complex microscopic components that make up an animal cell. The image was shared on both Reddit and Twitter on Nov. 7, 2020, by Mahjabin Noroozi, a researcher with the Stanford Cancer Clinical Trials Office. At the time Noroozi described it as the “most detailed model of a human cell to date.”

...[A] reverse image search revealed that the image in question was titled, “Cellular landscape cross-section through a eukaryotic cell” and was created by Evan Ingersoll and Gael McGill for Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., a private biomedical company that studies cell signaling. Cell signaling occurs when individual cells communicate with one another in response to changes in their environment, according to Nature Education.

The image in question was a 3D rendering of a eukaryotic cell that was modeled using X-ray, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy datasets. Though it’s not a direct image of an animal cell, it was created to show processes that occur in animal cells.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/image-animal-cell/
So, not a photograph, not a human cell, not newly available. That's just lazy on the part of the Afore. If I had to guess, I would say he lifted his claim wholesale from his very old link, in effect plagiarizing without fact-checking.

Thanks for posting that Shulem. Shades would never let his claws come out at Dr. Scratch over this, but it is nice to trace the source back to either the Mormon Dementia and Deception Board (MD&DB) or the Peterson Deception Board (PDB)).

Ad Hominems are one of the most powerful weapons in the apologist's arsenal. They usually do not mention you because you have squashed all their pretense regarding the Book of Abraham and they have no refutation to provide, so they must attack you directly. It is much easier for Dr. Peterson to bury his head in the sand and pretend you are beneath him.

The Church could solve all of Wikipedia's money woes by fully reinstating John Pack Lambert with the caveat that he could alter or delete all articles on Mormonism.
John has a sweet spirit.
He does? Interesting. I've only read about him re his Wikipedia issues, but after reading your comment, I eent back and read his disqus comments. For a 'sweet spirit,' he has a lot of really brutal things to say.

Even so, it is nice that a blog owner (Not a message board!!!) would have access to fun images. It might not have true research like yours, innovative and original thoughts like Shulem, or even a desire to tell the truth like Noel, but such images do expose the SeN participants to new ideas.

Hope Dr. Peterson is having fun in Maui. Wonder if he is having any drinks served in a pineapple with a little parasol?
