"However, can you not admire their determination to enter the lion's den, so to speak?"
No. Do you admire the person that goes into a marked minefield and gets blown up?
sad but true.
"we will never find common ground and will remain at odds with each other."
I don't want to find common ground with people that are detached from reality.
If it was in an effort to save someone else, then yes.
s-No. Do you admire the person that goes into a marked minefield and gets blown up?

It is a false effort to save someone on the creationist's part. They are saving them with a false Gospel.
It is like someone going into the minefield to rescue someone, handing them a grenade with the pin out and
waiting to blow up together.

I stand by my original statement. If I perceived that you were in danger, regardless of the correctness of my perception, then I think I should at least attempt to save you.
"I am right and you are wrong, I pity you, and remember I am a minister."
Obviously, you are very pertinacious. Apparently, from the past several discourses we have had, and taking into account the above statements, I have little chance of making any headway in affecting your resoluteness or your opinions.
I have enjoyed the opportunity to discuss these matters with you. I wish that we could agree more, but that does not seem likely at this time. Perhaps we shall meet again in some other thread, or in some other form. Good luck to you and I bid you peace.

Come on. We all know what ID is. It is the NEW movement by radical fundamentalists to descredit evolutionary theory. They throw up a bunch of websites then they come here and quote those websites.
Just like Soros tried with drug legalization. Fill the webhits with false propaganda.
Now when a "student" goes to look up the second law of thermodynamics, he gets more hits on false science propaganda by the ID crowd than credible informative sites.
No. Since ID is based on the supernatural all powerful God who can do anything.
Yes they do argue to deceive. That is their only hope of hurting evolutionary theory.
The sun is a main sequence star. From the billions of examples of these stars we can see that the sun will get hotter and bigger as it ages. In 1/2 billion years it will be too hot here on earth. Eventually the sun will become so large that it will fill the sky and it will eat both Mercury and Venus, and maybe earth, too.
This should not be a revelation. The idea that the sun will burn out in 5 billion years is common enough, but that earth will be too hot long before then is probably not as commonly known.
That sentence was a joke I put in so people would do exactly what you just did. LOL
When a figure skater pulls a "hand" in, the hand does not speed up. It maintains its momentum/speed but since it is in a closer orbit, its Tau decreases. Your anology makes it easy to remember but is not technically correct.
For example, if an object is in a circular orbit at 1000 miles it will have a Velocity of V1000 and if you suddenly "push" it to a lower orbit it will still have a V1000 which is now too low to counteract centripetal acceleration causing it to fall closer to earth resulting in an elliptical orbit. To regain the circular orbit, you have to provide another boost at the correct time.
No, the IDers are mainstream people.
Now when a "student" goes to look up the second law of thermodynamics,
ID doesn't use the Second Law of Thermodynamics as an objection to evolution.
Actually, I'm not even sure you can say ID objects to evolution. My view is that what it objects to is an undirected explanation of biodiversity.
Here is a very recent article by Dembski which specifically addresses the issue.
From you link YEC's should consider ID their friend and join them in the destruction of Darwinism. No go back to DU.
Those Darwinists? I don't think so.
It ate Mercury in that simulation, but spared Venus, sort of.
