Why is it?
Why is it that ten year old kids can see that the Noah's Ark narrative is a myth yet many adults cannot (or refuse to admit)?

Re: Quitting this thread
I totally sympathise Coyote, this is one of the reasons why I barely participate at EVC anymore, it is virtually pointless.
These people are not interested in learning anything, but their ignorance and stubborness is very frustrating. There was a time when I posted here a lot, but it gets very repetitive as one ignoramus is replaced by another and the same old arguments begin again and again. I used to justify my participance by hoping that some lurkers are grateful for the information that I posted, and I did get quite a lot of emails thanking me for the hard work I put in, I even got a proposal to co-write a book on the origins of ancient Israel! But this constant ignorant and blatant ignoring of evidence is very tedious, and the sad thing is you do know that Peg and Icant will chalk up your leaving as a victory!
They wont think you left for the reasons you gave, they will think that you have left because you cannot defeat their arguments!
But you are doing the right thing, sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and save your sanity.

Re: Quitting this thread
Hi Jazz,
Thankyou so much for your compliments, I really do appreciate it.
I'm glad you are investigating things for yourself, one reason I deliberately act abrasive (sometimes) is to motivate people to go and look at things for themselves.
I did see your thread on Daniel and did intend to post, but I have been very busy here as well, I will get round to it during the two weeks holidays I have starting from wednesday.
I wont really be around much tomorrow as we have a staff lunch and drinks tomorrow afternoon, which is never a good thing!
Thanks again.

surely not...
Is this BS still going!
This must be about the one hundredth thread about 'kinds', how many does there have to be before you guys realise these fundies do not have a clue?
All you will succeed in doing is giving yourself a migraine.
