Hi Dillan!
5,659 words! Wow!
It is a bit long, but I ask that the admin not cut or shorten my post, since it will in all likelyhood be my last.
I hope this isn't really your last, at least not at the forum generally, but I'd like to comment about length. I only edited one of your posts, and that was to replace a lengthy cut-n-paste with the web address that the original text came from. I would never edit anyone's actual words, and I don't think any other admin here would, either.
However, in this post you've not only once again cut-n-pasted a lengthy section from another webpage, it's the exact same webpage that I cautioned you about earlier from Charles Thaxton. The excerpt is shorter this time, but it's still lengthy, and I defy anyone to detect where Thaxton's words end and yours begin without referring to the Thaxton article webpage (
http://www.origins.org/articles/thaxton_dnadesign.html).
I'll leave your post alone, but would like to request of everyone that even if it's only just in the interest of writing posts other people can follow and understand to keep them as short and to the point as possible, and to use some type of quoting to keep separate your words from the words of others. This isn't to say that posts should be short, but beyond a certain point length begins to work against you.
Dillan, I admire your energy, stamina and determination, but keep in mind what Shakespeare said, that brevity is the soul of wisdom.
