You must be a democrat
Was that necessary? Labels are just pointless and it indicative of your apparent level of frustration. Look, it seems that you would do well to research a little bit more, regarding evolution. You might want to avoid reading books/tracts/sites written by people that attempt to explain it away (that's like you asking me to read the bible and me reading a book(s) written by people that only explain what the verses mean from an unbelievers point of view); just read, ask questions and learn. John's analogy in post 46 was (in my opinion) and excellent way to explain extinction. My suggestion, as someone that loves to learn about our natural world, would be to ask more direct questions if you do not understand.
From your tone, do you really think that science is just a sham to keep people away from the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ? I was actually told this once, that the "evidence" we have is fruadulent, and that they "teach" people in universities to propagate these lies in order to decieve more.
A Satanic conspiracy led by the Illumunati, no doubt.

Lighten up... That democrat comment was clearly just a little joke to everyone but you
Ok, I apologize. Given your posts, it appeared to me that you were a tad angry.you are probably the BIGGEST out of all the hypocrites on this site.
What? If I weren't laughing, I'd probably be a little upset. I do not like hypocrites; please let me know how I am one.I don't like to call names like the few angry people from your side generally do, but how can you be so dumb as to to tell me that I am labeling people.
Because you just demonstrated my point; you called me dumb.When about 60% of your post is talking about me reading the bible or "books/tracts/sites written by people that attempt ot explain it way"..... And you go on to talk about Jesus, blah blah blah.....
Actually, I just reread my post and there is only one sentence pertaining to your reply. I was just offering a suggestion; that you honestly seek out the answers and think for yourself (that's gonna make you mad). I am sorry if I offended you.But please tell me one time I've ever talked about my religion or given points of view from any bible or religious source...
I just reread all of your posts and you are correct; I was assuming that you were a bible-believing Christian. I am sorry to have offended you.I mean I can't put into words how ridiculously obvious it is how angry you are with Christianity and religion (for what reason I don't know), that for some reason you decide to imply that anything I've said has anything to do with it.
I am actually a happy person, not angry at all with Jesus, Christianity or religion. Please forgive my implication that you have anything to do with Christianity. Maybe you have the anger problem toward Christianity? If so, I'm sure there are people that will pray for you.I've done exactly what you're trying to TELL me I should do.
Relax, take a deep breath...or several. Again, I was only offering help and it is obvious that it was not wanted.It's funny to me how in many debates such as this, it is the non-believers, that tend to bring religion in and blame others for using it as a crutch, when infact it was previously not mentioned.
Since this is call the Evolution Vs. Creationism Forum, and you are opposing various aspects of evolution, I, in error, assumed that you were a person of religious affiliation. I will not make that mistake again, nor will I apologize for thinking you to be anymore.Priceless Pogo. Not to mention Pogo, my main point that has been evident from my first post, isn't anything that I've heard argued, or seen anwhere else.
It may be just me but it seems that your question(s) has been answered
by several people here.It was just something I thought of over the past year, and no one has ever given me a real answer without "maybes" or "it could have been thats"....
Absolutes do not exist anywhere except in mathmatics and the minds of Christians...of which you are not, so that does not apply to you.Whatever, maybe when you actually react to things I've said you should post again Pogo, instead of asserting that I'm a Jesus Freak with NOT ONE drop of evidence to show that in anything I've written.
I have reacted, rather immaturely, I might add, but hey...given your acidic attitude I feel warranted. I never asserted that you are a Jesus Freak.[This message has been edited by Pogo, 09-02-2003]

If I am truely the sorce of your attitude AND I have hindered your search for answers (you have some good questions by the way), then I will not post anymore. I made the mistake of assumming (for which I apologized profusely) and again, I apologize. The last thing I want to do is piss off someone who is honestly seeking to learn. Christ, forgive me for lying! I am obviously illiterate and a bad poster. Yes, I guess I am a hypocrite and I will not be taken seriously which is why I am trying to gracefully bow out from posting again. I did wronfully assume and label you as a religious fanantic; I must have read your posts with that assumption in mind. It appears that I have a great deal of growing up to do. Yes, you made your point about absolutes. I am an uneducated idiot that thought absolutes only existed in math. Please try to understand that the context of that post was my poor attempt to explain (which you already know) that within science, absolutes are few and far between. But this is pointless.
I have learned a great deal from this forum; many people here have answered my questions, and I sincerly apologize if I have offended anyone as I have offended rabair. I never intended to come off as conscending or belittling; nor did ever intend to put someone else down regardless of their beliefs. I only hope that I haven't turned someone away from seeking knowledge on this forum. My apologies to the site admins and the others involved in making this a fair and equal site.
Rabair, if you are reading this, I really do hope that you will accept my apologies, and at the risk of causing someone to have an aneurysm, I will not post anymore. I don't think that I've contributed much to any of the conversations anyway.[This message has been edited by Pogo, 09-04-2003][This message has been edited by Pogo, 09-04-2003][This message has been edited by Pogo, 09-04-2003]

Yeah, maybe it (the thread) should be closed, eh? It appears that Rabair is spreading the sunshine of his love elsewhere See Here.
You know, it seems like I tucked my tail and ran, but the truth is I really thought that I ticked him off; for that I felt pretty bad. But after reading every post that this person has made, it is clear that I was not at fault. Sure, I "accused" him of being a creationist (anti-evolutionist) and guess what? I was right! I was interested in knowing where he was comming from, because if he is denouncing the validity of primative man, then he must be able to at least defend what he does believe. And if you recall, I did not even get involved in the discussion until (post 52) after his question(s) was answered, from various people, taking great pains to be thorough and to the point. I made the judgment of assuming that he was a victim of Chick Tracks(I was)and or of Hovind....for which I apologized.
Anyway, I will be more careful the next time I post and more respectful.
Thanks!
