digging in
Really, I do think my suggestion is the way people should approach the ToE. Just read some report on some new discovery and notice the language it's described in. See if it actually tells you anything about the discovery or it's just a story you are forced to take on faith. Try to track down the particulars behind the story. Good luck.
You've actually read some? Perhaps you can post the material here too.

Re: big words?
Ned, I posted an idea in "short questions" or something like that, where folks like me could ask technical questions of people who know.

Well, I could always ask Faith, with her execrable scientific background. I was thinking more along the lines of EZscience, however. I'm sure he wouldn't mind, even if he is an alcoholic.

Re: not what I am telling you
So you read that stuff I wrote when I said they were unfairly picking on you?
I read the thread about my short-lived adminship, not much else, and did read your defending me somewhere -- always being sure to let everyone know my science is execrable -- so it probably was there.

Whilst I wouldn't have any concrete view on Evolution I found that neither does ToE seem to. Everybody pointing to everyone else and saying that the holes in this bit were backed up by the other bit. Nowhere solid to rest ones feet.
Good description that... Hall of Mirrors
old man?
Did you not see the portrait in pencil that Robin put up a while ago. He is quite a handsome bloke and I imagine he drew some admiring glances from the sisterhood around here. Bashful though he is he removed it a couple of days later. Those eyes have spend too much time looking into the infinity of the seas and stars and to little time getting concrete answers (this from his previous job as a lighthouse keeper - Don't ya just love Gods humor Robin will get a good laugh out of it sometime - I pray)

I took it down. I didn't want Faith to get too excited. I was concerned about her blood pressure.

Re: not what I am telling you
A friend indeed.
At least I'll be able to recognise you in heaven - assuming you get there. I could be wandering around looking for Faith for a while though. She ain't putting up when it comes to the "show yer face threads". I know she'll be gorgeous anyway. She got da life of Christ within her so can't fail to be....

Re: not what I am telling you
I think it will be instant recognition through the Spirit myself, not a matter of facial features, not a matter of searching the multitudes. You know how you just "know" things in the Spirit sometimes? Like that.
Yeah Robin's cute for an old man, but married, alas, and even worse not a Christian, so no flutters there although he's a very likeable guy for an infidel. You're a very goodlooking guy yourself of course. Too young for me though.

Faith, would you marry an infidel if he was otherwise lovable?

topic
And to think, I was criticized for being off topic.
Faith,
The ToE is not a house of mirror and it is more than theory, it is proven fact. I opened a thread here: http://EvC Forum: How do you define the word Evolution? -->EvC Forum: How do you define the word Evolution?
asking for people to give their definition of evolution. As I recall, no one that disavows ToE resonded with their definition. I request that you go there, read the opening post, and give us your definition. I also ask you to answer a question:
Are you dead set against ToE or are you willing to discuss your objections to it?
My computer and/or ISP have been acting up and that link does not work for me. Here is the thread by name: EvC Forum ’ All Forums ’ Science Forums ’ Biological Evolution ’ How do you define the word Evolution?

Re: topic
Lots of off topic posts.
Questions about the nature of God, now an invitation to post on an evolution thread. Answer: Maybe. Answer to Robin: Of course not.
