There's no doublespeak here, I meant exactly what I said. Note "intelligent" is not the same as "correct." I've seen a lot of intelligent people debating about this topic on different forums and I spent a lot of time on it myself for a while. The question, "What is this achieving, and is it a worthwhile use of my time?" was one that I pondered. Apart from becoming more educated in certain topics, then my own answer was "no." If yours is "yes" then that is of course your choice.

I noticed some comments about astronomy-related topics in another thread and thought I'd reply because that is an interest of mine. I'm not interested in resuming arguments with you so do carry on, with joy and blessings.

BTW, does anyone understand what these smiley faces mean, and why mine isn't smiley anymore?
