I've never seen anyone on the evolution side ever tell a creationist to do their own research without at least providing a starting point for the research. You didn't even offer that much.

Well at least you've revised your claim to incorporate some of my corrections. Nevertheless, your assertion once again is flat out false. Go back and look at the posts. I know you think things will become true just be re-repeating them, but they will not. If I was a rabid FR evolutionist, I'd accuse you of lying.

Interesting that you claim exactly this sort of behaviour about us. Kind of reminds of Clinton's tactic of taking whatever scandalous tactic he was using and pre-emptively accusing the Republicans of doing this. I'm sure it's just a coincidence though...

Here's the problem, in post#736 you said,

"Well it's incredibly easy to criticize Marx & Freud now that they have been largely discredited and act as if it's oh-so-obvious that they were phonies, but at the zenith of their movements, every respectable member of the fields of economics and psychotherapy, respectively, consider them to be almost beyond criticism, their theories not just theories, but the most compelling organized understandings of their subject matters."

I asked for evidence that EVERY respectable member of their fields believed as you said. You went into a big huff and blew smoke out yer butt, but you didn't provide any evidence. Then, later, you CHANGED the conditions of the evidence by changing what you said,

"You want evidence that virtually every economics department in this US, Canada, Britain, eastern and western Europe was dominated by Marxists for most of the 20th century?"(post#853)

That is NOT what you asserted earlier; if you had, I would not have complained. I was challenging your original claim that EVERY RESPECTABLE economist was a fervent Marxist who didn't allow dissent. You retreated from what you said originally, then claimed victory. That's intellectual dishonesty.
