In another thread, Faith made an off-topic comment, which I thought was a pretty cheap shot at her opponents without having to explain herself.
Faith writes:
And what's ironic about this is that the ToE is not based on empirical evidence.
Because it wasn't exactly what we were talking about, noone could expect her to present her case even if she wanted to. This thread is intended for Faith, and her fellow creationists, to present the case that the theory of evolution is not based on empirical evidence.
{Hey admin, it would probably be best to put this thread under "Is it science?" section. However, any place is fine with me.}

To me, it almost sound like you're using part of the post to return this "cheap shot" with one of your own.
Please, do explain.

Ok, last post from me about this, I swear. Although I understand why you think my comment was a cheap shot, I assure you that it came from pure frustration rather than malice.
Faith, and many others (mainly creationists) tend to make cheap shot comments as they go along and when someone asks them to support they either disappear for a few days or say "it's off-topic..."
Take the homosexuality and the bible issue, for example. We regularly see comments like "the bible condemns homosexuality..." and the likes from people. However, whenever I bump up a thread specifically for them to explain why they think the bible condemns homosexuality, we almost always get zero replies. When we do get some replies, they are mostly from either crackpots or immature teenagers who think they can outsmart a college professor.
The comments about evolution is the same thing. Faith is notorious for making cheap comments about things she disagrees with in posts not related to those topics. It is not because I disagree with her comments but because she really needs to start putting her comments in the appropriate threads. Otherwise, I could make a claim about god being a total nutcase in a science forum and refuse to back up that claim because it is a theology comment. Get my drift?
Ok, sorry for the interruption. We now return to our regular broadcast.
