"You make the dangerous presupposition that those who do not think the way you do are somehow less intelligent, honest, thoughtful, and do not seek after the truth. Attempting to marginalize those who disagree with you makes it easy to dismiss them. The problem is that it is not so. There are many well-educated, intelligent, honest truth-seekers out there who disagree. I appreciate your answer, but the attack of my character what not called for.

I wasn't attacking your "character" (assuming you have any). I'm attacking your phony belief system. "Intelligent design" is and always has been a stalking horse of biblical literalists trying to give their position the odor "rational thought", and slip it into the educational system as "just another scientific position"......it isn't. People like you marginalize yourselves with phony arguments.

As Ronald Reagan said, "There you go again". You insult me with a backhanded statement. And again, you make specious character attacks without substantiating any of your points.

I'm attacking your phony belief system. No, sir, you have assumed my belief system, and have attacked it.

People like you.... Sorry, I am a unique individual; there is no one else like me.

If you want to have a discussion, fine. If you want to present facts with out belittling me, fine. But if you want to continue the ad hominem attacks, our discussion is over.
