as usual lots of coulds, and ifs from evolutionists... Jeff Jul 16, 2006
What is missed in any of this discussion whether or not Coulter believes what she is writing or is simply preaching to her congregation? First and foremost Coulter is out to get and be famous and in this she has achieved some success. In order to do so she has resorted to outlandish and juvenile behavior, destroying anything and anyone that threats her march to notoriety. Probable she really has no opinion about evolution but it is a easy target to attack and thus gain support from the superstitious ultra-right religious groups. If her base support group hated tuba players she would, undoubtedly, devote 100 pages of her next “book” about the evil, liberal, wicked tuba players. One could argue that many Germans in Nazi Germany had no hatred or may even had Jewish friends but used anti-Semitism to get ahead in the Nazi world. Ann Coulter’s hero, Senator Joe McCarthy, did the same in the early 1950’s and Ann is just doing what others have done in the past. She will get her 15 minutes of fame, grow old, and fade away just like her hero. Back to the topic of evolution: since, according to Ann, genetic disorders can not be evolutionary since they could lead to the death of the host and therefore they must be the product of a good and benevolent god (lower case deliberately) I can not help but wonder if she is a victim of the genetic disorder Marfan Syndrome? Her body build would suggest it. People who suffer from such disorder sometime resort to attention getting behavior to compensate for the feelings of loneliness and not fitting in to the group. Often, as children, they are teased and laughed at by their peers. Many a political figure has emerged from such a childhood to extract revenge on their former playmates or those they believe to be like them. Coulter fits that model to a tee.

To Jeff, this may sound incredible, but I have no reason to doubt Coulter's sincerity, at least most of the time. The consistent pattern with people who believe things that are not true is that they possess a very different way of "thinking." An ability foremost not to perceive internal contradictions, and a tendency towards apologetic (secondary) citation.

Coulter can spew drivel because she is incapable of recognizing it as drivel. Where this methodological insight gets really interesting is to wonder how many people who believe things that happen to be true actually operate under the Coulter pattern. We are far more likely to cut slack with people we agree with, which is why a strictly rigorous methodological may prove troubling for way more people than just the Coulters of the world. I plan to work in an instance of this in my next Coulter posting.

Tom, instead of trying hopelessly to disprove evolution, why not try proving the many flaws in the bible. one question, why has God given us all the evidence for an earth more than 100,000 years old and for evolution and the intelligence to infer that? Why has God given us a Bible with all of the evidence that it is not to be read according to the norms of modern western historical and scientific writing? (quote from a site i found interesting, just tonight i have been interested in reading about facts and fictions of the bible.)

I'm sorry, but I think Jeff has it right. She is a lawyer is she not? Then she knows how to write an article, hot to do research, citations and all the rest. She does not care what anybody thinks because the faithful will continue to support her lavish lifestyle, and with very little effort on her part.

If you want to know how deeply introspective these people are do some browsing:
