Imagine you were Napoleon but nobody believed you. You might expect the hospital administration to put all of the staff in straight-jackets - but then the hospital administration are all crazy too.
Imagine yourself (as in any of the evo side) being in a debate in a creationist dominated forum, and you are the one against the many.

Whereas it takes thousands of posts to build a solid reputation for condescension, sarcasm and faux innocence.
... you really managed to come off as condescending, sarcastic, faux-innocent and potentially other fun stuff in a relatively short space of time.

Are you sitting down? I was thinking the same thing myself. What's bothering me today that brought me to this thread is that now he seems to be micromanaging me to extreme excess. Can't use this phrase, can't say that. But on the other hand, I suspect that Percy/Admin second-guesses himself once in a while too.

By all means, let's chase more posters away.
Then you need to keep your laughter to yourself, and not post it as messages.

Evolution Fairytale is not by any stretch of the imagination welcoming of arguments that are one iota different from their own. Percy is a double saint compared to the "moderators" over there.
I was looking for a place that might be more welcoming of my arguments at a point when the futility of it all at EvC was getting to me.

In 1972, with Watergate looming on the horizon, Richard Nixon was re-elected by a landslide. One commentator said that America had chosen a smart crook (Nixon) over an honest fool (McGovern). It's lying, yes, but it's mostly a strategy, a bad one but a strategy. Since then, if somebody claims to be an honest fool and not a smart crook, I take his word for it. So I accept that Donald Trump is an honest fool and Davidjay is an honest fool.

I would rather be called a racist than be one. Sometimes "insults" should be taken as a motivation for self-improvement.
Calling a person a racist is a truly underhanded personal attack... Faith writes:
I take being called a Leftist as a compliment. At least I would if the person calling me a Leftist had any clue what a Leftist is, which you don't.
... not to be compared with calling a person a Leftist....

Again, I didn't.
ANYONE WHO CALLS A PERSONA RACIST... Faith writes:
I don't think you can convict me of treason since I'm not an American.

Been there, done that. They spat me out. Must have been right-wing crocodiles with bad taste. ... AND HUNG UPSIDE DOWN OVER A PIT OF SNAPPING CROCODILES. But keep making my point. Right-wing logic: When you're in a hole, keep digging.

The point is not to let her insane ideas go unchallenged. We've seen from the 2016 election that there are plenty of people who think like she does. There may be a tiny fraction of them who will recognize the insanity if it is exposed.
But I don't see the point in debating with her on any topic.

I would say that those debates have the most value. No offense intended to the smart people but if you just want information about science, there are probably better places to get it. The value of this site is in pointing out the idiocy of young-earthism and its ilk.
It is my opinion that such debates have little value beyond entertainment.

Granted, but the teacher is not expected to replace the textbook. And both are better sources of information than a playground argument. The reason we have the playground arguments here is because we can't get the creationists into the classroom at all.
I can read science papers all day long, but having the opportunity to discuss astrophysics directly with someone like cavediver is way more valuable and informative than just reading a paper. Its the back and forth, and the direct responses to my questions, that I can't get from a paper.

Yes, your misreading of the Bible has been pointed out repeatedly.
The inventiveness applied to misreading the Bible is breath-taking.

If your assessment of me is as accurate as your knowledge of the Bible and science... thank you.
Ringo, your record of being right is pushing something like oh maybe 2%. Your one liner potshots are very seldom accurate.
