Brian,
Just so you know, I, for one, pay some attention to your posts. You don't owe us the research you do, but it is research I would never get to, and yet I benefit from it, because you post so much of it.
I have to admit, I sometimes wonder why you consider it worth it to spend hours preparing a post, but I enjoy the benefit of it.
So, thanks.

Re: Live Long And Prosper
Personaly, I care too much about those that are (Biblically speaking) lost to pretend that I have to play games by standards and rules of critical thinking.
Nor apparently do you pretend to play games by the rules and standards of the Bible or of polite society.
First you present a false argument, such as that radiometric dating is unreliable. When you are given evidence that it is reliable, you argue that scientists are dishonest cheats, purposely pulling the wool over the eyes of the ignorant public. This, I believe, the Bible calls bearing false witness.
When you can't back up your accusation, instead of apologizing for your grave offense of falsely accusing men more honest than yourself (scientists), you simply move on to the next casual argument, continually adding "(in my opinion)" in hopes that your opponents will not continue to point out that your opinion is wrong.
Finally, you simply say, "I'm really too spiritual to care about logic and sound argument."
I think you're really too spiritual to care about the rules of society or the Bible, which is sort of frightening, don't you think?
There is no way to naturally explain the events in the Bible. They are purposefully designed to be a stumbling block to those that cannot or will not seek God in the spirit.
Did you believe that when you jumped into this debate, or did you find it the only response left to you when all your others were demolished?
If you believed it when you jumped into this debate, then why did you waste so many posts attempting to obey the rules of sound logic and to naturally explain the events in the Bible by disagreeing with trained scientists? Why didn't you begin with what you really believed?
