Revision Requested
Hi Brian,
Don't make a big deal out of this, but that was a bit strong. Could you take a stab at another draft of your post that perhaps hints that even atheists can have charity in their hearts? Use the edit button. Thanks!
Hi Drummachine,
Don't get too comfortable, the gist of Brian's comments were pretty much on the mark. Could I request that you begin adding supporting evidence and argument to your assertions? Thanks!

The things I was going to post you can find and more at ANSWERSINGENESIS.ORG
This is a little vague. Someone could carry on in the same way and reply, "The rebuttals to the things you were going to post can be found at TalkOrigins Archive: Exploring the Creation/Evolution Controversy," and what would that accomplish?
The intention is that discussion of issues take place here, rather than merely enumerate bibliographic references. Rule 5 of the Forum Guidelines states:
  1. Bare links with no supporting discussion should be avoided.
Could you please post some discussion supporting your points here? Thanks!

Hi Drum,
Is it possible that the facts are on that site?
Did you read the message you're replying to? Did you notice that it said:
The intention is that discussion of issues take place here, rather than merely enumerate bibliographic references. Rule 5 of the Forum Guidelines states:
  1. Bare links with no supporting discussion should be avoided.
This explains why it doesn't matter whether the facts are on that site or not. As I just explained to Judge in Message 17 of the The Bible Unearthed - Exodus thread:
As the Forum Guidelines clearly state, links should be accompanied with some explanation or discussion. This serves several purposes. It indicates you understood the link and have read it yourself, it allows people to understand how you're using the information in the link to make your point, and if the content of the link is lengthy it can make clear the relevant portion.
Combined with the fact that you posted the exact same link as your only reply in Message 96 of the Let us reason together thread, and that I cautioned you about it in that thread in Message 98, your response provides more evidence for the possibility that you are not reading messages addressed to you, at least not very carefully.
When you registered you were presented the Forum Guidelines, and I presume you clicked "I agree". All I'm asking is that you live up to what you already agreed to.

Re: Love to, but...
(btw, should we start another thread? this is off-topic.)
Depends. If this is a short diversion from the main topic, say less than 10 posts or so, then don't bother. But if you'd both like to discuss Mayr's book in detail then a new topic would be best.

Topic Drift Warning
The diversion from the main topic is noted. The Ernst Mayr/metaphysic topic should move to a new thread.
