Nor is it semantics. The purpose of agreeing terms is so that a rational discussion can take place within agreed parameters, & no semantic bullpuckey can take place. You agreed terms & are now backpedalling as fast as you can. This is simply dishonest.
I think Faith honestly doesn't understand your point. It reminds me of the joke about the janitor who was advised he shouldn't use hydrochloric acid to unclog drains because "its efficacy is inconsistent with containment integrity," and thanking them very much for their high praise he continued using hydrochloric acid.
Your cladistics argument probably seems obvious to you, but even to evolutionists it's a tough argument to follow. For example, it isn't an argument that I could successfully carry off myself, not if anyone started asking questions. I think you need to break it down more.

Re: OK Faith, so how about it?
Hi Faith,
I could use some help over at [forum=-25]. New member ptolemy is trying to propose a new thread, and what he's saying makes little sense to me and even appears contradictory. Can you take a peek at Is the Bible supported by Science?. If I'm just not understanding what he's saying could you explain it to me? And if he's actually not being clear, could you help guide him along? I've given you posting privileges in [forum=-25] so you'll be able to post replies there.

Re: OK Faith, so how about it?
Whoops - accidental side effect of giving you posting privileges in PNT. Fixed now.
Interesting that this came up, though. I think you'd make an excellent moderator. Adminnemooseus is in charge of moderator recruitment, I wonder if he agrees.
