It's encouraging to think I may be doing something worthwhile & not just vainly pursuing an obsession to attack every lie I encounter.

You are doing something, and to some degree that's appreciated - even by your adversaries in the debate: you're showing us your side of the argument. You're sharing us your beliefs and (at least at times) explaining what logic (and at other times lack thereof) has lead you to accept these things.

So too are the other posters from the evolutionist side "doing something wortwhile". This isn't a war and, at least as far as I can tell judging by the title of this forum, this isn't a "Creationism is Right and Evolution is Wrong" discussion board. Rather, it's a "What do you think" debate. Everyone who contributes (particularly those who do so in a constructive and polite manner) is "doing something worthwhile".

With the bellicose smiley factions emblazoned in a couple of the posts above, I get the distinct impression that some posters think otherwise. That posting in favor of creationism is "doing something worthwhile", whereas posting in favor of evolution is "doing something evil and wrong". I know that every poster here, however, from Linda to Bex to Russ to CTD and all the others, are very open minded and kind-hearted individuals. I know that after a second glance, even the creationists of this forum realize that this is not a war. It's an open sharing of viewpoints, opinions and facts.

No need to paint it into something that it's not.

As a reminder, the name of the forum here is: Creation and Evolution: What do you think.
