Re: Irony or bollocks?
What I'd like to see is Dawn Bertot interpreting Buzsaw for us.
I would be more than happy to do this if you are serious and would like to present a statement or comment made by Buzz
Is your intimation that Buzz is incomprehensible?

Re: Irony or bollocks?
The evidence we've seen so far in this thread would seem to support this. No creationist has offered to explain Robert Byers' word salad that I posted in Message 49, and now you say you don't understand Buzsaw, either.
It seems to me you are dramatizing a realatively simple problem. If you have a problem with something Mr Byers said or something Buzzford said, ask then to simplify, not me.
If however it is your point presently, that I cant understand it
I will take a look at message 49, then if I dont understand it I will axe Mr byers to simplify, because then we might be able to conversate. Heck it might even be his burfday, and hell be Stayzin in a specific place, chillin up in that mug, Word.
As in RAZD's post I am going to need much claificationa and specification
We evolutionists are often told we're just too dumb or too biased or too immersed in our world view to understand what you or IamJoseph or Buzsaw or Robert Byers or John 10:10 or Marc9000 (etc., etc. and so forth) are saying, but the evidence of this thread so far indicates that you creationists have just as much trouble understanding each other as we do.
Fair enough Ill take a look. Usually however this comes down to how someone was taught or trained. It becomes a simple communication problem. not that they are untenable

Re: Irony or bollocks?
Since we all agree his statement isn't open to ready interpretation there's no point in asking you to interpret it.
What would be interesting would be if a creationist said, "Why are you evolutionists jumping all over Buz? What he said was perfectly comprehensible." This is the creationist we would like to interpret Buz for us, mainly because we believe he's just blowing smoke and has as little a clue of what Buz is trying to say as we do.
Do you think it would help to ask (axe)him to clarify and simplifiy. It should become very clear then if what he is saying is valid from any perspective

Re: Irony or bollocks?
Some of the longest threads in EvC Forum history began this way.
To you and Larni, I find it hard to believe after such a period of time you still cannot understnad his points
Are you sure your goal is not to represent us in a certain light?
