Topic drifting....
The idea of the topic is to dissect the Evolutionist Approach to Explanation and Persuasion. Whilst it is to be expected that there would be some engagement of the Evolutionist Approach, the thread has stopped being about dissection but is rapidly going down the path of becoming another free for all all-purpose evolution debate.
Perhaps we can look back on the last few pages and try and work out what happened, and where things went from metadebating to debating.
Please check the relevancy of your posts to the OP before you hit Submit.

Topic drift is looking pretty terminal

The purpose of this thread is to examine what is wrong with typical evolutionist approaches to explaining their position, and I'd start off by raising the issue of evidence
It was closed temporarily Message 222 so that people could focus on the real topic theme. I'm closing this again in a few minutes, it's still all over the place after AdminWounded stepped in in Message 245. Perhaps it can be opened up later if any interest in the topic theme comes up again.
