[ (Do you recommend that I email those websites and ask them to correct their misstatements? Do you think they would do so? Maybe if you emailed them, as a creationist, and pointed out their errors they would remove them. What do you think?)]

Ya know- I’d have actually concidered doing just that if you asked HAD you not decided a long time ago to respond to my posts with nothing but contempt aNd pettiness- I had acvtually requested you do so in a thread, and it became apparent you had no intention of changing.

I’m all for being accurate as possible, and do agree with you that the few mistakes a site has should be cleared up- but folks like you spend your free time looking for the few mistakes, while ignoring the bulk of facts that you don’t agree with, and you use those few mistakes to try to malign and berate the whole site and authors based on nothign but a few mistakes. Apparently mistakes aren’t allowed when it comes to sites that don’t march to the tune of evolution- but mistakes, half-truths, outright deceits and blatant lies are perfectly acceptable in your mind when the sites support evo.

(Do you suppose talkorigins will retract al lthe mistakes, half-truths, and outright lies if maybe you called them on their deceits and asked them to? Maybe if you emailed them, as an evo, and pointed out their errors they would remove them. What do you think?)

[You can look forward to seeing one after another of the favorite creationist’s claims debunked here, and perhaps elsewhere.]

And you can look forward to my posting the facts IF you don’t do so with intellectual honesty. As well you can look forward to me pointing out that you repeatedly try to make mountains out of molehills in an attempt to change the focus away from the bulk of factual evidences on sites that refute evo points.

I have expertise in only certain areas, and that is where I tend to post.

If I can point out the mistakes and deliberate distortions in creationist websites within my field of study, then that is a contribution that I can make. Other posters will have to deal with other fields of study.

But how many mistakes and deliberate distortions that I find in the creationist websites will it take before you to stop relying on them? One? Two? Ten? A million? I think that you will believe those websites no matter how many mistakes I point out. The reason for this is that I don't believe you are doing science. I believe you are just lifting arguments from creationist websites trusting that they are correct, but that you don't know whether their science is any good or not. Because you are operating from faith, not science, no matter how many of their arguments I show to be incorrect it won't make any difference to you.

But that's OK. I will take the creationist claims in my fields and demolish them one by one. Other posters will probably do the same in their own fields of study.

It won't bother you in the least to see those creationist websites demolished point by point, but the lurkers will see the arguments on both sides and make up their own minds.
