Hi Dr Adequate!
There's no moderation in the Showcase forum except by the residents, so you won't be removed from this thread except by request of Randman, however when I see this:
It's just like having the word LIAR tattooed on your forehead.
I just have to ask, are you trying to get evicted again?
To Randman,
While I can't condone the way in which Dr Adequate is making his point, he does have a good point. Presumably, given all you said recently in the moderation thread, you believe your rigor and analysis and objectivity are superior to evolutionists, and that this highlights the obvious bias inherent in your restriction to Showcase.
But you strongly contradict this with your propensity for misstatements of simple facts, in this case accusing evolutionists in general of believing things that they obviously don't as a group believe (individual beliefs will, of course, be all over the map, so the belief you cite is undoubtedly true of some individuals). As Dr Adequate points out, many evolutionists are theists, including myself.
As I've said many times now, I don't think you're going to be able to engage evolutionists in rational dialogue until you come to understand that they accept evolution as the explanation for the diversity of life on earth not out of an atheistic rejection of God, but because of their interpretation of the supporting evidence. Once you've accepted this then you'll be much better able to discuss evolution objectively and focus solely on the issues, and your continual denigrations, aspersions and accusations of lying and dishonesty, and indeed the very veil which prevents you from understanding what evolution and evolutionists actually say, will fall away.
