I’m happy to report that I was in constant correspondence with Ann regarding her chapters on Darwinism — indeed, I take all responsibility for any errors in those chapters. :-)

Irrelevant to the response I posted to the question.
The fellow who made "Supersize Me" is now filming "The Republican War on Science"--there was a thread on the book some months back, with all these evos showing up to crow about the demise of religious conservatives.
Another part of it is the persistant antipathy that libertarians have for the religious, and the anger they feel that they have earned a place (through organization, grassroots, donations) at the GOP table. Having been a 'tarian once myself, I rejected the ideology when I realized that 'tarians both like losing, and are politically quite lazy and whiny. The religious conservatives are far more valuable to the GOP--that's why the left would like to chip away at this constituency.
The remaining portion of evos on FR are the chronic obsessives--"Asberger's Syndrome" sufferers. See Wikipedia if you are unfamiliar with it--practically a Post Office Wanted poster description of some of these crevolisters.
"The Mayflower Compact is a founding document. It is the first governing document produced by our founders."
No, it really isn't a founding document at all. The first document that can be called a founding document for the USA is the Declaration of Independence.
"Irrelevant to the question I answered."
No, perfectly relevant. There is nothing in the Compact that has any relation to government of the USA established by the Constitution. It's a collectivist work that was soon discarded. It didn't work.
You are right. I did ask about mentioning the Gospel of Christ. However, technically neither is the Gospel mentioned nor is the Mayflower Compact a founding document of this country.
Junior, I make it a practice to use the diæresis so people to not make that mistake. (sigh) I don't know why I bother.
The American Constitution provides for private property, political, economic and religious liberty, and is the end result of disloyalty to the king.
It would be difficult to find two documents so opposed to each other in principle."
Totally irrelevant to the question asked and my answer. These are completely different subjects. Would you like me to copy/paste the original question and my answer again for your review? It's really not that hard. The second sentence of the first governing document produced by our founders states "For the Advancement of the Christian Faith". The glaring flaws we surely both would agree are in this document, do not inter into this question and answer.
I'm sorry, but the Pilgrims are not my founders. My founders wrote the Constitution, and incorporated lessons learned from mistakes like the Mayflower Compact.
Hell, I like the group too.
"It established communal farming and lead to a famine in the first year. Much of it was soon dropped. Private property was then established, and productivity soared."Irrelevant to the question I answered.
The Mayflower Compact was a "living document".
I was offline all day yesterday(out having lots of fun), and just got back online within the last few hours today, so have spent those hours trying to get all caught up with these crevo threads, and some other threads as well...take some time off of FR, and come back, and have to spend all kinds of time getting caught up...I still have to go through these threads, tho I did ping you on another thread, concerning some of your fine thoughts...
"If you descended from Europeans (or whatever) why are there still Europeans?"
so you are saying the physical movement of indivuals is analogous with divergent evolution?
Thanks, I appreciate that.
"I did ask about mentioning the Gospel of Christ. However, technically neither is the Gospel mentioned nor is the Mayflower Compact a founding document of this country."
"Christian Faith" equals something other than the Gospel of Christ? Please feel free to enlighten me to the "technical" meaning. I do have to dispute your position that the Mayflower Compact is not a founding document, but maybe you want to change your original question to clearly state the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution instead of founding documents.
"The Mayflower Compact was a "living document"."
Apparently so.
"What if it is red?"
prove it
OK so i mistyped alt-147 for alt-148
Even Homer Simpson nods sometimes
Some of your founders have some interesting history recorded over at the Library of Congress web site.
