Ideally, "Links and Information" topics should not be debate topics. But this one (no surprise) took of into such. Long ago I thought of moving it to the "Intelligent Design" forum, but never did.
Going to close this one down somewhere in the next 6 hours or so. In the meantime, perhaps we could have a scavenger hunt to find the last message that had a direct connection to Ben's movie?
If there's a theme happening that someone thinks is worth pursuing further, please make use of the
Proposed New Topics forum. If you do, please clearly define the new topic theme in both message 1 and in the topic title.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots.
