I disagree that we nasty "evilutionists" get on these threads merely to give you heartburn.
But I think you raise a good question. Why does anyone spend time in debating points that will not change many opinions? I note that over the last years, several IDists have left to accept evolution. I am unaware of any evolutionists who left to become IDists. No matter, these are meagre numbers.
Everybody who posts could have more fun making love or looking out at the sunset (just had a spectacular one here--and it increases my admiration for natural processes and encourages me that unnatural or "super"-natural 'explanations' are less beautiful).
Maybe there is an element of self-identity or a concern that our outlook on the world needs to be validated?
To me, evolution is a beautiful way of understanding how nature works and how we got here. For creationists, some kind of "divine" action seems to them most beautiful.
I am missing something in understanding. Any ideas?

Most evolution supporters I know post here just to not entirely abandon FR to the reality denying irrational anti-science religious fanatics...to show whoever might read these threads on FR that not all conservatives are like this. Lately, it's been a loosing battle. FR will show the world the face it chooses to show the world.
"I disagree that we nasty "evilutionists" get on these threads merely to give you heartburn.
It's the other way around, pal.
Evolutionists start the threads looking for an audience to brainwash, and when the audience comes the evolutionists lambast them with their fanatical dogma.
Non-evolutionists are not the ones looking for an audience; it's the evilutionists that do.
You make it sound as if non-evolutionists start these threads and then you come in, which is NOT true and you know it.
Thank God there are so few evilutionists.
