you don't catch on well
Thief,
It sounds like you just like the sound of your own voice. If you want to dabble in pseudoscientific gobbly gook go to an astrology forum.
Otherwise put up or shut up. Stop with the idiotic giberish and provide substantiated evidence for whatever position your advocating.
If college educated people can't understand a word you are saying, it means your argument (whatever it is) is not logically sound. Go back and try again. People are not going to waste their precious time trying to decipher your idiotic ramblings. We have better things to do with our time.
Catch that!

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Apparently, the rest of this small gathering does not share your etiquette, nor do they possess well developed imaginations.
Alas, poor Thief,
Who rambles on and on..
With nothing substantial to say,
Who carries not a lucid thought,
a bumbling moron.
Further he writes with no point in site,
With no poetic rhythm to display,
Can you not give us some respite,
Please refrain from your illogical melee.
Your Adam myths are ludicrous,
Nay, nor your creation fables hold water,
Why continue on with such impetuousness,
Your logic is ill founded.
**Sorry, I could not resist**
Just because we choose not to speak in riddles and rhymes all the time does not mean we do not have imaginations. It just means that speaking clearly and concisely is more productive to a logical discussion in a science forum.
In other words, stop being a condescending jerk. Or as Shrek would say "Alright, you're going the right way for a smart bottom..."
BTW, don't take this to personally. Everything I say is somewhat tongue and cheek. I do however despise hypocritical, self-righteous and condescending attitudes and so occassionally attempt to take some people down a few notches to remove the "I am more intelligent than you" attitude and allow us to discuss on a much more honest and balanced playing field so to speak.

Re: Give the poor lad a chance
Some Devil's advocate you are.
I've been picking on the Genesis narrative, and Moses
You were never the target!
Previous dialog was offer to reduce the creationist crutch of Scripture
Future dialog will be aimed at the scientist.
Which one are you?
Declare yourself!
Declare myself?
What are you a prophet?
It is difficult to decipher from your cryptic posts exactly what you are trying to do. I don't care if you are a Christian or an atheist or somewhere in between. What I do care about is, that this is a debate and discussion board and if you cannot adequately and coherently explain your point of view than you are veering this discussion (and other threads from what I have seen) off topic. That is all. Speeking cryptically does nothing to bolster your point of view. It just adds to the confusion.
