>> Are you a dyslexic, insomniac, agnostic like I am? <<

I am not dyslexic, though my keyboarding tends to be that way, I am not an insomniac if I take melatonin 1/2 hour before wanting to go to bed. I am a bit of a mix between absolute skeptic / doubting Thomas and agnostic.

Macro-evolution is not neutral. Thanks for playing...

He is smart in a dishonest sort of way, because he knows what happens to Temple of Darwin fanatics who dare to debate Creation and ID scientists:

Nope. He's smart in a smart kind of way.

There is no debating with fanatical idiots like creationists and jihadis. You have three choices. Ignore them (as Dawkins does), make fun of them (as I do) or kick 'em in the junk ('cause it's fun and funny.)

Debate is simply not possible since the opposition doesn't have any grounding in reality.

[[He is smart in a dishonest sort of way, because he knows what happens to Temple of Darwin fanatics who dare to debate Creation and ID scientists:]]

Precisely! He’s afraid of the very science he abuses to ‘support’ his assinine comments on evolution, and knows that the scientific evidence does NOT support his idiotic claims, and is afraid to have the impossibilities of his hypothesis exposed for all to see- He knows that he can’t defend himself, and so he’s takign his ball and goign home like a spoiled rotten little brat!

Posting dated Monty Python clips in response to another’s post is not as clever or witty as you seem to think it is, I’m afraid.

Why would a scientist bother to debate a theologist? Apples and oranges.

Fighting evolution is a loser’s game and I don’t play.

I don’t spend much time on it either because macro-evolution is a loser’s game. But irrespective of our preferences regarding time allocation, macro-evolution is not neutral.

Well seeing how revolutionary evolutionists were the genesis of the modern Islamist terror network, I really don’t see why you would have any problem with it.

IDers to employ theology. Perhaps you should spend some time learning the difference between Creation and ID scientists.

Not when it might cause soem young person to actually question the impossible hypothesis of Macroevolution instead of just taking everythign they are handed by big government agendists as fact- The truth is never a losing game- exposing hte serious problems associated with Darwinism at least gets the word out to others that Darwinism isn’t nearly as ‘settled science’ as the macroevolutionists claim in their propoganda classes

Well, I lay awake at night wondering if there really is a doG.

Are you saying Dawkins is a scientist? Who knew?? The guy sure does not ever come across as ground in science, scientific knowledge and scientific methodology.

Yes there is a doG and it is outside barking it’s head off which is why you are not getting enough sleep.

Why would anyone engage the poo-flinging creationist monkeys in debate?
...asked Filo, as he flung poo...

Dawkins is a coward. He says he does not debate creationist or intelligent design advocates, yet takes opportunity to ‘dry gulch’ cretionists and intelligent design advocates in his appearances and his writings. He know Dr.Meyer would eat his launch. Meyer’s credentials are impeccable to the secularist, atheist. Beyond that he is an expert debater. Dawkins snivels and retreats beneath the rock he believes is his mother. Dawkins reminds me of Obama out in San Francisco referencing Pennsylvanians as clinging to their guns and Bibles, with antipathy towards the government. Damnable coward.

show me irrefutable physical proof either way.

A god completely provable by physical evidence would not be god as defined by the vast majority of religions.

We simply do not know if there is a higher being in charge of every minor change or not.

Depends on your epistemology. We "know" a great deal that cannot be proved by science alone. Science is, by design, the firmest and therefore smallest set of knowledge. No one limits themselves to only that which can be known by science.

I wouldn't put stock in any attempt to prove God scientifically. It is an error either way - to say that science proves there is no God, or can prove God exists.

He must be a rocket scientist.

Ah, I see. You are claiming that what I saw (poo flying from your locale) wasn't flung by you at all, no sir, it was just bouncing "off" of you.
