It can't happen, Percy. I realize I'm being indulged to some extent and I don't want to be ungrateful, but I don't see any solution to this.
Faith, did it ever occur to you that your anger and discomfort is because of the weakness of your arguments?
It's completely a matter of biased mental sets that can't be fixed, but thanks for trying.
And which mental sets are those? Is it everyone else who is wrong again?

Re: the Idea Center lies
Pink Sasquatch has challenged me a number of times to address his/her claim that the ID Idea Center lied. So I finally went and read through the posts and the link, and my answer in a nutshell is that this is typical of the evo attitude toward creationists. You MUST accuse them of evil motives. There is no such thing as giving the benefit of the doubt. If someone says something you consider to be wrong, your immediate conclusion is that they are committing an intentional moral evil.
Believe it or not, Faith, I agree with you on this, though you may not like my reasoning. If the person truly believes something, then it is not a lie, because, at least to me, a lie implies intent. I'm positive that the subjects in this case would pass a lie detector test just as cleanly as Mother Teresa. The question becomes one of alternate realities and how has that person become addicted to a reality that is significantly different from the majority of society. So, our choices are either lying or delusion, and neither one is very attractive.
