And we could have deduced that just from the fact that he's a creationist.

Message 125I'm afraid that if you find this difficult to take then this is not the place for you. We do try to watch the language that people use but it is acceptable to pull no punches and to be a bit acerbic.Generally, the best approach is to try to ignore the chitter chatter and pay attention to the meat of posts. Attack the facts and reasoning supplied.If someone criticizes one of your sources by calling them names (like creationist) then you may point out that no specific issues were sighted that makes your source wrong.You might also do well to understand that some of the posters here happen to know the science rather well. Since you clearly know effectively nothing about it you might take the opportunity to learn. If you wish to use creationist web sites as support you should know in advance that everything there has been rigorously ripped to pieces many times. A lot of it has been put out of it's misery decades ago. This makes it very difficult for you. You are not likely to bring up anything new so everyone has had fun with these things before. Unfortunately some individuals allow their impatience to get the better of them and get a bit snarky right up front. This leaves you wondering "What the heck did I do?". It isn't you. You are just resurfacing silly stuff and it is the material that they are reacting too.In any case if msg 125 was difficult for you then I'm afraid you will be made very unhappy when people less patient than Dr A reply to some of the material you might dredge up. It's odd that the "evo" side manages to let comments like "you will burn in hell" slide off them while the "creo" side often gets all hurt feelings like if they are simply told that their facts are wrong. Why is that?Meanwhile the admins will watch that it doesn't get too nasy.

Welcome to EvC, Doubletime.A small caution. We try to maintain a focus in each thread of conversation here. Everyone messes this up part of the time but please try to do the best you can to stay focussed.Since the topic of this thread is seashells on mountains so your point about frozen critters is off topic (it also happens to be factually incorrect -- that is wrong, that is your source for the information may not be very reliable).Most of your other points are, at best, only vaguely connected to the topic. And most are also wrong too.Thanks for future effort to focus more and check what you post.
