This is unusually acerbic coming from you Bex.

What I meant was that if I'd written a little cartoon satirising what I consider to be the most nonsensical views of creationists, then I would have been condemned by every creationist here. And I just don't think it's a very nice or respectful thing to do

Instead, I can see some of the facts that have been painstakingly documented here ignored, twisted and ridiculed in what is a clear indication that CTD takes nothing on board and would simply appear to be trolling. He is not interested in engaging in any serious discussion of the issues and sees no need to back up any of his repetitious claims.

when you start trying to misrepresent Christians in general, rather than just addressing creationism itself or focussing on that and those representing it, then you deserve to be reprimanded.


Again, unusually harsh from you. How is challenging young earth creationism the same as misrepresenting Christians? The evidence points to an old earth on which life evolved. The vast majority of religious people on the planet have no problem accepting this and being religious, so it is a non-issue for them.

The to and fro insults of creation V evolution have been equal in insults


Since when is presenting scientific evidence an insult to Christianity? Can Christians not evaluate evidence the same as anybody else?

I admit I've been impatient with CTD, but that is because it is becoming more and more evident that he is only here to provoke. He is not engaged in any serious discussions and almost everything he says is an emotional argument rather than being based on logic and evidence. Witness what he's done here, which is what other propagandists do. The aim is to evoke an emotional response, and here it's humour. This post isn't designed to get you to engage your brain, it's meant to get you to laugh at his strawman idea of what an evolutionist is.

If people like him ever get round to wanting to talk about the actual evidence, then maybe there will be some real substance involved in this thread again. I doubt if it will happen with him though because I think he's purposefully dodging the issues. You, however, are welcome to raise the creationist standards here and present some questions or ideas that we can all discuss.
