“You seem obsessed with DC.” [excerpt]
Well, if I signed up to DC and got banned and went and started my own site where all my friends who got banned from DC could got to talk about what was happening on DC and smear the regular DC posters, then yes, I suppose I would be obsessed with DC.

“But since you read DC so obsessively, you know I don’t go there to talk behind people’s backs.” [excerpt]
LOL!

And I've got a bridge to sell you!

“If I post anything at DC about what’s going on at FR, I have posted the equivalent here.” [excerpt]
Make that two bridges!

“I indeed have some low opinions of several people here, but I say everything I have to say right here.” [excerpt]
Ok, ok, three bridges!

You will, no doubt, be able to back up your LOLs

And that goes for me as well. Somewhere along this thread I was accused of “talking behind backs” as well and that I was a wimp for spouting elsewhere.

If I wanted to spend the time wading through the filth.

People can always find stuff the way I do with Google.

Maybe I'll get around to it this weekend.

Wade to your heart's content. I don't go to other sites and trash FR. Anything I've said elsewhere was said here also.

Does that include organizing disruptive activity?

Are you accusing me of organizing disruptive activity?

That's a fairly significant charge. I'd like to see you back it up.

Let’s start with the basics ....

God created the Day on Day one. God created the sun on Day 4!

ergo, the “Day” referred to in Genesis is NOT our 24 hour day!

Whoat, hold it, back up.

What happened to God not talking to Moses in English?

I have known JS#### is one of THEM for a long time. That’s why I refuse to have anything to do with him. They hate creationists and they hate FR, as evidenced by their posts on Darwin Central. I hear they have now moved all their “I hate FR” talk to a closed area of DC. One can only imagine what they are saying about FR in their members only sanctums.

In my case I think having an MA in special ed makes me better able to keep my temper on these threads.

This evidently explains your attitude. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem begins to look like a nail.

Cheers!

You obviously are a Biblical literalist; as such, you discredit the faith. The church fathers themselves said it was foolish and even dangerous to take scripture literally word for word.

Ah, the usual, if you take the Genesis account literally, you must take the whole Bible literally angle.

Evos are great at extrapolating.

Variation within species must = macroevolution.

Rejection of the current interpretation of the fossil record must = rejection of science as a whole.

Reading the creation account as it stands because of it being written as an account of something using declarative sentences must = reading the whole Bible literally.

Creationists almost invariably......

Where would evos be without hyperbole to try to discredit their opponents?

It’s common sense. Surtsey is an island off the coast of Iceland formed by volcanic activity. Does the origin of every corner of every landmass on earth fit that description? No! We have long term erosion and sedimentation, for example. Therefore, credible scientists cannot extrapolate Surtsey’s genesis to that of the entire earth.

But *credible* scientists routinely extrapolate variation within species to long term macroevolution all the time.

So why is it a strategy that's valid in one branch of science and not another?
