Thread copied here from the Creationist response to cetacean femur, leg atavism, and limb bud. thread in the Proposed New Topics forum.

If someone would like to perform a good service (perhaps even the OP's author), they could summarize the OP into a few paragraphs summarizing the evidence and arguments.

Hi Adminnemooseus,If discussion were to continue from Jar's reply to Slevesque it would likely draw a great deal of attention away from the whale anatomy discussion, so I agree that Jar and Slevesque should probably table that discussion, maybe it will become more appropriate later on.But I do think it an importance difference of opinion. Slevesque believes that we all look at the same evidence, we just interpret it differently. Jar believes that interpretations requiring unproven mechanisms are invalid. Many a theory has failed for lack of a mechanism even when right, as witness Wigner's theory of continental drift experiencing rejection until the posthumous discovery of mechanisms and more conclusive evidence. On the other hand, IDists believe they have the evidence showing that design happened and merely do not yet have evidence for how.But as important as this difference of opinion is, this isn't the right time, and probably not even the right thread. Maybe someone wants to propose yet another thread requesting that IDists propose a mechanism?Please, no non-admin replies to this message.

Hi Robert,As has been the case in other threads, you are posting unsupported assertions. Your history is that you distract attention from a thread's topic as attention increasingly focuses on trying to get you to support your assertions, which you never do. For this reason, please stop posting to this thread. Thanks.Your considerate manner of participation is greatly appreciated, and if you would begin providing the rationale and evidence behind your positions you could become a very valuable creationist contributor to EvC Forum.
