How can I be “ dead wrong” when it’s my question that hasn’t been answered?it’s an odd grasp of logic you have when I can be dead wrong for asking a question.

I was taught to write for level of the group that would read the article.

The technical forum here on FR is the best place to have those kinds of discussions.

I suggest starting a new thread with the other thread hijackers and trolls.

[SunkenCiv]

My message was in response to this, from you:

> So you defer to an unnamed other authority and have no answer. Thanks

So, in other words, wrong again.

[muir_redwoods]

Wrong again? When was I wrong the first time? When I asked a reasonable question about the illogic of assuming complexity requires design? Please try some consistency

[SunkenCiv]

You’re trying a straw man argument, and this is the second time — my response wasn’t to whatever drivel you posted during your thread hijack, and while it’s possible that you’re not understanding this, it’s just as likely that you’re lying.

[muir_redwoods]

Ah, the ad hominem, now I’m a liar, I guess you’ve run out of anything useful to say. If you’re keeping score, it wasn’t I who mentioned a designer first, I simply took issue with the illogic of the respondent who did so I hijacked no thread. Careful reading is an important life skill; look into it.

Please realize that some consider the theory of evolution a religion. Others see it as unproven like global warming and open for attack like some attack religion. There is little common ground and people become quite polarized.

Please realize that some consider the theory of evolution a religion.

So? Those people almost universally have no idea what they are talking about and are also accutely unaware that "insulting" science by calling it a religion mocks their own choice to follow a religion.
