In his latest posting titled "Bechly Bloviates "Briefly"! " (January 16, 2021) hardcore Darwinist troll Bill Needle celebrated at his Marmotism blog that my last article on Kimberella was surprisingly short. He deludes himself that this was only because his silly comments have such magical power over me. Hilarious, that this deplorable loser did not even recognize in his phenomenal inaptitude that this article was just the final install of my 14-part article series on Kimberella. He also hallucinates that nobody actually reads my stuff. Well, he apparently confused the more than 3.5K Facebook likes for my Kimberella series with the zero likes for all of his lonely posts.

In his ridiculous response "Bitching Bechly!" (Jan. 21, 2021) this schmuck first shows that he does not even know his mother language English by petty quibbling to a non-native speaker that I allegedly misspelled inaptitude (no boy, it's correct, see here). Next, he completely loses his mind in claiming that I lied, when I said that he had doubted that anybody reads my stuff. Let me quote to refresh his lousy memory: "I don't think even the most rabid ID creationists are going to bother reading your [insult deleted]." Like all dumb people suffering from Dunning-Kruger effect he is blissfully unaware of his inaptitude. He is also muddleheaded in believing that Christians must react like gentle sheeple to all hostile and rude idiots, because due to his total biblical illiteracy he is ignorant of the fact that Jesus could be very harsh himself (e.g., whipping pharisees and calling them a "brood of vipers").

Enjoy Bill's implicit admission of defeat, revealed by his sissy whining about a deserved harsh response without addressing any of the actual points.

Two-part article at Discovery Institute's site Evolution News, with my critical comments on a new study, which again (unconvincingly) attempts to identify Namacalathus as an Ediacaran lophophorate animal:

Seven part article series titled "A Precambrian House of Cards" for Discovery Institute's site Evolution News about a new study that describes alleged developmental genetic similarities between Precambrian animals and us, as well as the uncertain affinities of Trilobozoa:

Clueless troll Bill Needle responded with the silly posting "Gunter Bechly Ad Nauseum!" (sic: this illiterate simpleton does not even know how to correctly spell Latin terms like ad nauseam) at his Marmotism blog (March 27, 2021). As usual, his boorish waffle is guaranteed 100% free of expertise and any substantial arguments.

Article titled "The Cambrian Explosion Has Just Gone Nuclear" at Discovery Institute's site Evolution News (April 8, 2021), about the discovery that the alien Ediacaran biota and the complex Cambrian biota were only separated by a very short gap of 410 thousand years.

Here is a translation into Portugese thanks to Dr. Enezio E. de Almeida Filho:

Article titled "Scientists Conclude: Human Origins Research Is a Big Mess" at Discovery Institute's site Evolution News (May 10, 2021), about the rarely communicated fact that the science of human origins is  far from settled.

Four part article series on Darwin's "abominable mystery" for Discovery Institute's site Evolution News about new studies that allegedly help to solve the mystery of the abrupt appearance of flowering plants in the Cretaceous period:

Also see the article "To an Italian ID Group, Günter Bechly Explains His Remarkable Journey" by David Klinghoffer at Evolution News (June 28, 2021).

This article immediately provoked a silly rant titled "Günter Bechly is Triumphant" by an anonymous coward at The Sensuous Curmudgeon blog (June 28, 2021).

David Klinghoffer reported about this event "Watch: Bechly and Swamidass Debate Intelligent Design" at Evolution News (June 19, 2021).

Announcement in an article "In Mainstream Journal, ID Theorists Explore “Waiting Times” for Coordinated Mutations" at Discovery Institute's site Evolution News (August 18, 2021).

This of course provoked another inept rant "ID Creationism's Beard" by Bill Needle at his Marmotism blog (August 24, 2021), showing his hypocrisy, because just two posts earlier he asked why we don't publish our stuff in peer-reviewed scientific journals. You can't make this up.

Other Darwinist reactions were posted by Mikkel Rasmussen at Panda's Thumb (June 12, 2021) and Scott Buchanan at  Letters to Creationists (Sept. 2, 2021)
