Evolution syndrome

2009-04-04T18:24:45Z

Hsoton: why dont you go find something better to do

'''Evolution [[syndrome]]''' is the tendency of some people to insist compulsively that human [[evolution]] from animals ''must'' somehow be true, and to spend nearly all of their time pushing that belief on others. It is reflected on the [[internet]] by people who devote over 90% of their edits and postings to pushing their belief in evolution and insisting on [[censoring]] or demonizing alternative views of the issue. They are particularly against teaching any alternative theories to children in school. A childish insistence on [[last wordism]] is a common characteristic of evolution syndrome.

Characteristics of evolution syndrome include:

*jargon like "[[quote mining]]", "moving the goalposts", and "fundie" (derogatory term for a [[Fundamentalism|fundamentalist Christian]])
*drool
*an utter lack of open-mindedness
*a superficiality or pseudo-intellectualism
*a lack of critical thinking
*over-reliance on name-calling
*ruthlessly demanding "provable fact" by the other side while themselves insisting on unproven theories
*utter intolerance for [[Expelled:_No_Intelligence_Allowed|other positions in science and maliciously ruining the lives of those who hold such views]]

Evolution syndrome particularly afflicts people who have some educational background without having the intellectual depth of more accomplished peers.
Evolution syndrome can be seen on [[wiki]]s, [[Usenet]] groups, faculty positions below full professorships, and some less selective doctoral programs.

There is a high incidence of [[atheism]] among this group and indeed, many if not most atheists suffer from evolution syndrome. Whether atheism is a cause of Evolution syndrome or vice-versa is still to be discovered, but the number of [[Theistic_evolution|theistic Evolutionists]] suggest that the link is not absolute.

Keeping an open mind, not obsessing about one's own views and avoiding the insistence that others should share his/her view is the key to avoid suffering from evolution syndrome.

Lasith Malinga

Separamadu Lasith Malinga, born on August 28, 1983 in Galle, Sri Lanka, is a Sri Lankan cricketer who plays in most test, warm-up and T20 matches for the Sri Lankan national team. He is sometimes referred to as the Sri Lankan Muttu (derived from his initials SLM), as well as Slinger Malinga, due to his largely unorthodox bowling action.

His unique bowling action, which no-one else is known to use except him, involves a side-arm chucking action, just as one might slap someone in the face. There does remain some doubt as to the coinage of his nickname of 'Slinger Malinga'. Most say that it is due to his 'sling-like' bowling action; however some of his closer friends, including his brother, claim that as a child, he used to practise this action so much that once he twisted his elbow, and had to wear a sling for five months after this. Malinga is the most recent addition to a whole host of Sri Lankan bowlers, including Muralitharan, Jayawardene and Mendis, whose bowling actions have been viewed as highly controversial. Many prominent bowlers and ex-bowlers, such as Alan Donald, Jonty Rhodes, Ollie Seechun and the Da Silva brothers Aravinda and Chamara have vociferously spoken out against this action. Nevertheless, the ICC approved of his action, despite the wishes of the BCCSL; it is however alleged that the approval is wholly dependent on the annual payment of a hefty sum of several thousand Sri Lankan rupees by Malinga to the ICC, though both parties have strenuously denied the existence of such a hefty payment.

The usage of such a strange bowling action has proved effective against many batsmen, who are often deceived and deluded by his misleading deliveries, which include in-swingers, out-swingers, doosras, reverse-swingers and bouncers. He has also developed his own style of leg-break, which involves an extra-fast delivery bowled straight at the batsmens' feet. Many batsmen have fallen prey to this leg-break, being trapped lbw or pulling to square leg. A few - famously Sanjay Romochondron in a test match against Bangladesh in 1997 - have had their legs literally broken by the ferocity of such a delivery. Again, several batsmen have appealed to the ICC to ban this leg-break delivery, but were duly turned down by the ICC, again reportedly due to the annual fee paid by Malinga.

In all forms of the game, Malinga has taken nearly 200 wickets. Although this might seem a reasonably high figure, his commitment to his bowling has been queried in the past, due to the fact that he has scored more than double this number of runs, leading to critics stating that he focuses too much on his batting, despite being a specialist bowler. This has resulted in him being dropped from the test squad, although he continues to feature regulary in the warm-up and ODI squads for his country.

Hello there - a little about myself:

Name: Harold Nigel Francis-Appleby Soton

Birthplace: Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, England

Religion: Roman Catholic, converted from Confuciusnism

Occupation: Consultant Gastroenteric & Glycosidic Surgeon, MBBS, BSc, BMedSci, BMBS

Hobbies: Mainly cricket - I enjoy both watching and playing it online. I am also an honorary member of the Wexham Park Club, and have played often for the amature 2nd XI. My biggest achievement was an unbeaten 822* not out (at a strike rate of 4.09), which I daresay is an impressive score. However, it was against The Mall 2nd XI, who I seem to recall had only two decent players (the captain and 12th man). I also aspire to travel one day to the H. Seechurn Stadium, where my great-grandfather made his debut for the Llewellyn Trotters Trophy Eleven.
Apart from cricket, I enjoy watching an obscure yet hilarious Japanese comedy series called 'Onnuku Sapputu, Renduku Yenga Iruku?' (roughly translated it is 'I am an Owl, are you my Son?')
However, I now think that contributing to this amazing and laudable project might become my new hobby.

God Bless You,
Harold Soton

Ajantha Mendis

{{DEFAULTSORT: Mendis, Ajantha}}
Balapuwaduge Ajantha Winslo Mendis, also known as BAWM, or simply Mendis, is a Sri Lankan cricketer from Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, who plays for the Sri Lankan national cricket team.
Mendis bowls a mixture of deliveries, including googlies, off-breaks, doosras, off-cutters, leg-breaks, and the Carrom Ball. This new type of delivery is accomplished by a subtle flick of the middle finger, much like how the rude 'middle finger' gesture is performed. The Carrom Ball has been criticised in the past by prominent cricketers like Michael Holding, Ravi Shastri and the Fernando brothers Ranjit and Dilhara. However, the flick of the middle finger was cleared in 2004 by the ICC, and ever since Mendis has constantly been one of the best Sri Lankan spinners in the world; along with the equally lethal Muttiah Muralitharan, the two form a formidable opening duo for the Sri Lankan spin attack. Indeed, between them the pair have claimed nearly 750 test wickets. Mendis' best Test match bowling figures are 8-132 against India, surpassing even Jason Krezja's 8-wicket haul against South Africa. His best bowling one-day international figures came in the final of the 2008 Asia Cup; he took 6 wickets in a single over for just 13 runs. His tally of 17 wickets in the tournament earned him both the BCCSL's (Board for Control of Cricket in Sri Lanka) Player of the Month Award as well as the Player of the Tournament Award. Mendis' unique, unorthodox bowling style continues to deceive and baffle batsmen and bowlers alike the world over. He recently decided last year to bring his experience and element of surprise to the Indian Premier League (IPL); he signed a 7 year contract with the Kolkata Knight Riders, one of eight teams involved in the tournament, which saw him take the wickets of world-class batsmen such as Sachin Tendulkar, Thilan Thushara and Brendon McCullum. He is hoping this year to surpass the achievements of his Sri Lankan counterpart Muttiah Muralitharan (Chennai Super Kings), who ironically claimed the wicket of Mendis three times during the inaugural tournament.

Hello there fellow Conservapediaists. This is my first article for Conservapedia, so I hope all was well with the article. As you might have guessed, I am a bit of a cricket fan, and hope to expand and enrich the cricketing side of things here. Please feel free to give any feedback on my first article, including any tips about creating/editing, as I am a newcomer to this. Apologies for the poor formatting of the article - I hope to improve it at a later date.
And finally may I just take a moment to praise Mr Schlafly and everyone who has contributed to this brilliant project. Many of my son's classmates seem to have some kind of crude desire to constantly try sabotage this worthwhile site, but I hope to convince them to use their apparently infinite free time in doing something that is actually beneficial (i.e.: their homework for instance).

Godspeed,
