I'm going to have to ask you to try, just for a moment, to stop posting outright lies as a poor substitute for an ability to actually rebut the material -- no matter how popular that tactic obviously is in the AECreationist playbook.

Excuse me - are you an Administrator? What gives you the right to ask me to stop posting my sincerely held beliefs? Did someone suspend the First Amendment on this thread? You believe I am posting "lies" - defined as saying one thing when I know that it is untrue. But that is not the case. Because I refuse to accept the "partyline" of Darwinism and evolution does not make me a "liar" and you a "truth teller. " This has to be one of the most arrogant postings I have ever read on FreeRepublic. Your claims that ID is wrong, and evolution is true is an expression of your sincerely held beliefs. And I respect that...and I would never "ask" you to do otherwise.

I am neither a dolt, nor an idiot. I am not a koolaid drinker. I have a graduate degree - the field is immaterial, the discipline of achieving said degree indicates some level of intellectual activity beyond whatever level you believe Creationists can't rise above.

It would appear, as usual, noone is going to convince anyone else. But a little respect would be appreciated.

Personally, I'd love to see a little more respect on these threads but I keep getting caught between Darwin-idolator and evo-nazi. :\

Excuse me - are you an Administrator?

Not the last time I checked.

What gives you the right to ask me to stop posting my sincerely held beliefs?

Try reading my post again, this time for comprehension. "Your beliefs" is not what I asked you to stop posting.

Did someone suspend the First Amendment on this thread?

No, which is why I'm free to ask you to stop posting fabrications.

You believe I am posting "lies" - defined as saying one thing when I know that it is untrue. But that is not the case.

So you actually *did* poll "these same clergy" who signed the letter? Do tell.

Because I refuse to accept the "partyline" of Darwinism and evolution does not make me a "liar" and you a "truth teller. "

Nor did I say that it did.

This has to be one of the most arrogant postings I have ever read on FreeRepublic.

You mean it's more arrogant than the guy who claimed that he knew what "these same clergy" actually believed on other subjects which weren't mentioned in the letter, in a cheap attempt to dismiss their opinions by making false ad hominems against them?

Your claims that ID is wrong, and evolution is true is an expression of your sincerely held beliefs. And I respect that...and I would never "ask" you to do otherwise.

Nor would I.

Respect must be earned. When are you going to admit your error in posting this:

"Darwin influenced Das Kapital published in 1867 by Marx."

It appeared in post 23 of another thread, right here.

Are you kidding? there are thousands of that from these. Pretty much variations on that example and a few other themes.

Quoting: "Your claims that ID is wrong, and evolution is true is an expression of your sincerely held beliefs. And I respect that...and I would never "ask" you to do otherwise.
I am neither a dolt, nor an idiot. I am not a koolaid drinker. I have a graduate degree - the field is immaterial, the discipline of achieving said degree indicates some level of intellectual activity beyond whatever level you believe Creationists can't rise above.

"a little respect would be appreciated."



Reply: I am always amused by the argument of "sincerely held belief". No matter how sincere you are or how much you pray, you will never be able to jump out of a 9th storey window and land safely. We all know that there is a material, natural world out there, and prayer and faith do not change this. People who doubt this win a Darwin award and are eliminated from the gene pool.

Warning people of folly is entirely respectful. Is it your view that every "stuck on stupid" is equally respectable?
