Re: Bump
Moose,
I think Whatever should be allowed back in. I don't think he should've been banned outright in the first place. If the plan was to allow a cool off period then maybe the relevant threads should've been blocked for a day or so with a warning to Whatever.
He IS immensely irritating because he is such an inconsistent compartmentalised thinker, but I don't think he's a troll. He needs to assimilate what he says at any point into everything else he believes & check for inconsistensies. He also needs to read replies thouroughly before responding. I lost count of how many times I had to reiterate the same Cambrian-explosion-wasn't-affected-by-the-flood point before the penny finally dropped.

Re: Cambrian explosion side note (off topic???)
Moose,
A quick explanation & then we'll drop it. Whatever claimed that the fossil record was formed by fossils sinking & rising to their natural positions in a liquified sediment (liquefaction) during the flood. But he claimed the Cambrian expplosion was an actual artifact, evidence of Genesis itself. But the only way it could be that is if liquefaction hadn't occurred. Meaning the Cambrian base & 5/6ths of the fossil record below it weren't the result of liquefaction or the flood, either. This created some pretty amusing problems. Pity it took so long to make him understand that the Cambrian fauna was unaffected by the flood at all, by his own argument.
Every post I would point it out, every post he would ignore it.
Mark
