Discussion of John MacKay's Views

Gee, Eilidh, I could make up all kinds of fake excuses like that my vacation is scheduled for August, not October/November, or that my vacation is structured around dropping my daughter off at college in the US, not Scotland, or that my passport wouldn't be ready, or that I can't afford airfare, or that the decent hotels have no vacancies, but you'd probably see through all that. The plain truth is that I don't dare face John MacKay publicly because I just know he'd make shreds of my evolutionary views and reveal me to be the sorry liar that I truly am. His clever response showed just how open he is to debate and how cowardly we evolutionists are. Good show!If you want to ask John MacKay something (he did say, "go for it," after all), I suggest you ask why the convenience and advantages of debating in a public Internet forum with a permanent record and that is accessible to the entire world instead of just to a few in attendance at a public debate in Scotland is to be denigrated. Everyone could debate from wherever they happen to be, and the debate could start now, not October/November.--Percy

Your reaction to John MacKay should be one of resentment. He has sent you off to battle the evilutionists armed with a gun filled with blanks, and when you discovered this fact and turned to him for help he said, "Hey, you're on your own." Great guy!The only bullet left in your arsenal is to say, "Well, MacKay's bullets may just be blanks when in my gun, but I'm sure they'd be very effective when in his." Don't hold your breath.John MacKay has very good reasons for not appearing in venues like this, and none of them have anything to do with how busy he is. It has to do with there being neither money nor opportunity involved.--Percy
