No where in that thread did Jed call all evolutionists nazis.

No one accused her of that. Straw man.

If you think this is fair, I'm glad I'm not taking one of your chemistry classes for grade.

The feeling's mutual. The average is poor enough already.

Number 1, the Nazis did use evolution as justification.

Your thesis went a lot further than that. It was that the amorality of evolution had a cause and effect relationship with the origin of Naziism. That's a smear.

I never said Darwinism CAUSED Nazism. I did say where Hitler used Darwinism to further his goals and got ample support from the writings of Darwin himself and his disciples (most notably Huxley). Further, I said that Hitler didn't get the justification to commit genocide from Darwin (though Darwin did speak of the inevitability of the stronger races exterminating the weaker). I backed every assertion up with historical fact and quotes and it was not a SMEAR.

Evolution is a scientific theory; it dictates no morality.
I've addressed this assertion a zillion times. I've also never said that it "dictates" morality. My whole thesis has been that Darwinism, in saying that we all arose from natural processes and not from God, has cut the legs out from underneath moral law. If you have no moral lawgiver (God), then you have no moral law. Theistic evolutionists get around this a little bit but have many other problems. When you have no moral lawgiver then man makes the moral law and man can only do this upon preference. One may prefer to be a Mother Teresa or one may prefer to be a Osama Bin Laden. There is not basis for saying one is right and one is wrong only that I don't like what that person is doing. THAT was my point.

It was also introduced previously on another thread,
It was.
rebutted multiple times,
It was not.

and re-introduced on this thread.

in the context of another political ideology that was already introduced, namely Communism. You all engaged ME after that post, not me you.

Squeal all you like;

There is a psychological term for your accusing me of squealing, it's called "projection."

that's trolling.

And that is a personal attack by one who "signed the agreement".

it also continues a long-standing series of trolls

Right Wing Professor's apparent "pet name" for bible believing Creationists who stand up for their beliefs and point out the implications of his.

by the now banned ALS

Wonder how that happened and the gang of tugs remains?

and we have abundant evidence you know the 'gentleman', since you've adopted his tagline and post on his Designed Universe forum

Never said I didn't know him. Actually, I just met him and didn't even know about him or his forum until posting on these threads. He gave me the tag line last night and I did not know it had been previously used. I thought it was funny, and apparently it has gotten your goat since you keep mentioning it, so I kept using it.

So peddle your pathetic prevarications somewhere else.

Betcha couldn't say that if you were Sylvester the cat.

You won't find too many buyers here.

Who said I'm trying to sell? I'm presenting a point of view and backing it up. That's what this forum is for. And, I'm sure you would like it if I would leave, but I have no plans on leaving so get used to it. Number 2, I did not "edit" a single quote to change a single thing. Anyone can go out on the net and find the quotes exactly as they are. I removed footnotes from the quotes but that was it. You are responsible for what you post. If you re-post someone else's lie, without taking reasonable steps to check its integrity, you are as guilty as the original liar. It's called personal responsibility, ma'am. But now, that the evidence of what was actually said is gone, the prof. can at will misrepresent Creationists as violent thugs who want to physically hurt people. Shame on you prof. It's quoted in # 257. There was no possible purpose in mentioning the guy's size or military record, in combination with an offer to have him 'spell it out' to me, than as a threat. I just have to laugh at that one, as I can count on maybe one or two fingers the evolutionists who have not hurled personal attacks my way and sought to belittle me and intimidate me with their apparently mutually agreed upon tactics. You have not signed on to the agreement, you don't comply with it, and therefore you aren't covered by it. It's an agreement of mutual respect, not unilateral disarmament.

A general question for the thread:

Is it reasonable for a Christian to have a more literal interpretation of Genesis than the Sermon on the Mount?

Yes, I also can see why the average is poor in your class.

Who was it that used to sometimes end his posts with that same expression? I'm struggling to remember

Huuummmm. Yes, this tag-team posting of self-contragulatory idiots seems to have a very familiar style. I remember my disgust at it from just a couple of months ago when some perambulating slime mold got himself banned for the second time. My how times change...NOT.

Invalid comparison. I never compared any of you to Nazis. NEVER once, and I have invited you specifically I believe to find a single post where I called or compared one of you to a Nazi.

What exactly are you half full of again? Because I am beginning to think that you are totally full of it.

Aren't you just being the nasty one today? You deserve whatever you get back.

I thought you were going fishing. You make more false exits than a narcissistic comedian at a curtain call.

Notice how they all showed up at one time again? On a work day too. Makes me wonder.
