Hi Bex,



As you know, yes I talk there. I came here because I was browsing the forum complex and was wondering who'd made so many posts here. There were not just a few, but quite a number of claims about evolution and creation here.

I've asked this question several times now and I'll put it to you again. let's imagine the shoe was on the other foot. I'd started writing a thread in which I claimed that creationists are frauds, and I'd gone on to make some unsupported assertions about creationism which were not entirely factual. What's more, if a creationist attempted to talk to me about it, I'd tell them to leave me alone because they were picking fights and were just being nasty. It was my right to say anything I wanted, regardless of factual accuracy, and no one was welcome to question, challenge, or comment unless they were there to agree with me.

That's more or less the attitude I've heard from some creationists on this thread, regarding my own posts. Interesting. I've always thought that if a person felt secure in their beliefs, they wouldn't mind having those beliefs questioned.

I also said I never intended to open a big debate here. I do intend to make some comments about what was written here previously, and I have not done so yet because I have been researching some science first. I feel it's important to understand what I'm talking about before I talk about it.



If a creationist posts there, I usually answer. It does seem to be the case at the moment that there are three evolutionists on that forum, and one creationist. I'd rather be talking to more people, yes. I don't enjoy talking to just one opponent in a debate, when all that opponent is able to do is call people names and ignore evidence put forward while giving none of his own. Good on him for stubbornly persisting in those evasion tactics, eh? I think he came here in the first place looking for support from creationists, because the evolutionists on EvC had shown him time and time again that he was talking nonsense, and he thought he could get away from them here.

Still maintaining that the only pure faith is that which denies scientific evidence in favour of a literal interpretation of the Bible? Or do I misunderstand you? What about the theistic evolutionists in the world?

Finally, I get the impression that some people are not reading what I've written here. It's difficult to have a proper discussion when all the points I've brought up so far seem to have disappeared into the ether as far as anyone is concerned. But back to the point -- I'll have a look at previoous posts here, make some comments, and presumably have done with it for now. Anyone who would like to talk evolution and creationism is welcome to join the forum.
