Have I in any way indicated I was talking about venerated evolutionary atheologists? I don't think so. Oh, I thought you were debating and trying to debunk the theory of evolution. Oh? Well I thought what I said made perfect sense before you snipped it out of context. Since you are only trying to highlight misunderstandings stated by lay persons who believe evolution to be true, then more power to you. Don't put words in my mouth. I never said these misunderstandings were restricted to laypersons. I do not check the credentials of every evopusher I encounter, and neither do you. I have made clear that I use the classic English definitions. That excludes last week's fad evohype bar-lowering, obfuscation-promoting twist. Thanks again. Those who misunderstand evolution should not try to debate it. They just wind up saying things that make the theory look rediculous. I doubt if they know they don't understand it, so this advice isn't terribly practical. But it would make for a drastic shift in the numbers. If you are criticizing the theory of evolution then you need to use the same definitions that they use. Otherwise you are not really criticing evolution. Baloney! I can express myself using any terms I choose. If what I say is valid, it's valid. If it ain't, it ain't. You might be overstepping your bounds a little bit. I doubt that you are the final arbiter of what is valid and what isn't. Well, unless you want to claim that your moderatorship allows you to judge the validity of claims on this forum. Another classic. I overstep my bounds when I say "If what I say is valid, it's valid. If it ain't, it ain't." You do a good job of conveying your desire to be contentious, but beyond that... well, what have you accomplished? Everyone can see what you've said ain't valid.
Dark Matter + Dark Energy = Dark Truth"We find that such evidence demonstrates that the ID argument is dependent upon setting a scientifically unreasonable burden of proof for the theory of evolution." - Judge Jones Kitzmiller case http://www.talkreason.org/articles/Falsify.cfm"To Compel A Man To Furnish Funds For The Propagation Of Ideas He Disbelieves And Abhors Is Sinful And Tyrannical." - Thomas Jefferson "And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath?" - Thomas Jefferson
