GGG’s statements still reek of Islamic apologetics to me, lifted almost verbatim from the words of an Islamic apologist.

So? Convince others that GGG lifted the words instead of being "convergent evolution". Darwinists should be adept at tap dancing around logic. In any case, it would still be red herring.

And the issue is, in fact, whether Islamic terrorism is the product of the supernatural irrationality that prevails in those contemporary societies that practice it or, as GGG asserts, the product of the western scientific rationalism that prevails in those contemporary societies that actually reject it.

No it isn't. You injected Islam into a thread about Texas education standards.

And you still haven't addressed whether you agree with GGG's assertions.

And I won't since your red herring has nothing to do with the subject of this thread. If you wish to start one on the principles of Islam, you are free to do so.

That’s al lthey’ve got left is red herrings- it’s almost comical - almost

Nice out, Andrew (although “miraculous convergence” seems more apropos than “convergent evolution”). And I look forward to seeing you exercise your newly discovered outrage at the actual guilt by association arguments that are regularly trotted out by creationists.
