Re: Creationist in the Closet
Mr H, I have not taken any notice of htis thread previously, but your analysis of DNAunion's post from another thread appears to be consistent with, and explaining of, DNAunion's recent messages here. I don't know if DNAunion is simply trying to be obscure but there doesn't appear to be any obvious point to DNAunion's repeated copying of quotes which include the word "information". DNAunion appears to copy the creationist habit of conflagrating the technical use of the word information with its everyday use, even in some of the quotes.
Surely DNAunion is not proposing a last gasp "god of the gaps" argument that god created "information" in the protobiotic DNA molecules and then left them to develop through natural processes into Homo sapiens.

As a general observation, it appears to me that DNAunion is prone to making statements which are open to differing interpretations and then taking offense when someone adopts an interpretation which DNA apparently did not intend.
Instead of berating others for not reading his posts correctly, I suggest DNA give more thought to writing clearly and correcting any misreadings of his posts promptly and without condescension. And we can do without the apparent anger and insults. Communication is a two way street.
