Thanks ikester, for the reply.

It seems we have a communication problem here, as no snide remarks were made, or at least not intended that way. I am asking what I feel are serious questions and I am looking for guidance so that I don't inadvertently cross your guidelines.

To me, your deleting the whole post appears to be an emotional response to a valid set of questions, and I don't understand why. You even seem to agree that the rest of the deleted post questions were valid when you say:

It would seem that I have posted a "mine," but I still don't know what it is. The "Elvis Lives" is/was supposed to be, is/was intended to be, a harmless analogy that is not associated either with "creationist" or "evolutionist" concepts, so that these types of issues can be addressed without emotional content.

You are setting a new standard and I am trying to understand it.



I used to close with this paragraph when I first started posting here, and it still holds true:
Note: my time is limited, so I only choose threads of particular interest to me and I cannot guarantee a reply to all responses (particularly if they do not discuss the issue/s), and I expect other people to do the same. Thank you for your consideration.

I am here to discuss issues, and I do not intend to make people mad or upset, but I understand that this happens. When dealing with the truth it tends to happen, no matter what your beliefs are.

The only thing I would recommend is that when you are mad/upset that you put it aside and look at the post again later, and see if it is the material presented that is making you mad/upset or is it comments made by the poster.

Enjoy.
