Gosh Bex, this is an interesting depiction of me.

I've apologised here for the way I talked about Hovind a few months back. I still stand by what I said, but the way I said it was not something I'm proud of. If you think I slandered Hovind, though, can you quote where you think the slander is? And we can talk about it. I've recently been accused here of slandering other creationists like Austin, until I explained that he had deliberately set up some radiometric dating exercises to fail so that he could claim that radiometric dating was unreliable. You'll find that I can always back up what I say here with evidence.

You do seem to pick up on things I say and assume they are directed at you, I'm not sure why. You and Russ, whatever your personal biases, have always been polite posters. You don't use silly language to try to ridicule your opponents and you have at times in the past made serious attempts to back up your claims with evidence -- well, you more than any other creationist here I think. But we have had 3 other creationist posters who have made it clear that they really do want to have a "go" at evolutionists in whatever disrespectful way tickles their fancy. How representative are they of other fundamentalists? I don't know, but they're outnumbering you and Russ here with their posts. I certainly do not think they are representative of how Jesus says we ought to treat others, and this is the faith they claim to follow.



Can you please refer me to the posts in question? This is obviously your opinion but I'm not sure that others here would agree. Let's look at what I said and they can make their minds up.



You mean I shouldn't have been trying for the upteenth time to pin CTD down to backing his statements up with some evidence? Look here at how many creationists are willing to discuss science. We've got conversations like this one going on, but no one seems to want to get down to the actual issues. We've had claims, for example, that the Grand Canyon was carved by a global flood, but no one is trying to refute any of the geological evidence on that thread. I don't know if I used the words "run away" from the evidence, but should I have said "avoid" instead maybe?
