That's mighty kind of you



That's mighty kind of you too. We've got a couple of people here now with a lot of scientific knowledge at their fingertips though, knowledge that I would have to research for the most part, and still probably not understand as well as they do. I tend to see the "whole" picture and don't worry too much about the fine details, but in debates it's those details you have to present. I could tell you a lot about what we know of the natural world in general, it's those darn specifics LOL. I usually read/hear about them initially, think "OK, that's pretty convincing," and then forget about them. Maybe it's like Sherlock Holmes put it -- the brain is like an attic and once it fills up, you want to make sure it's not full of clutter.

I won't be making any long posts here for the foreseeable future though for two reasons. One, I've realised what a mountain of planning I've got to do for the end of the month when the autumn term starts; and two, I think I'd rather not engage too much with posters who are full of anger and hate and who direct it at me because they see the label "evolutionist." We've seen an interesting display of Christian attitudes and behaviour here haven't we? One other creationist here implied a little while back that it's OK to treat all non-fundamentalists in this way because they're sinning heathen who are going to burn in hell. They're a charmer too.



I agree completely. I love it when I debate on equal terms with someone, each of us having good knowledge of the subject, and the other person brings up ideas I'd never considered. It can really be enlightening learning about a different point of view. Somehow I ain't getting those good vibes here right now.

Bright blessings.
