Hundreds of posts ago, various Freepers were talking about getting agreement on our terms. Since then, we've been through observer, evolution, value. It is baffling to me when one word is used in a technical sense yet another in a common sense.
At any rate, failure to agree on the words - or redefining terms in midstream - can't be helpful. Common usage is probably the most important because a lot of Lurkers come by and read a few posts, then leave. Without a parenthetical definition, they could get the wrong impression of what was being said.
The word "set" has many meanings ranging from an action to an Egyptian god to a mathematical concept to an army of chess pieces. Debit and Credit are not quite what one might think in accounting.
I am willing to keep an open with evolution as a theory of biology albeit it should certainly not be above criticism or questioning or assumed as true.
What concerns me are those who use evolution as an excuse to deny God's existence. What concerns me even more is that there are those who deny that some expand the theory of evolution to cosmology in an attempt to do so.
How this can be denied so vehmenently boggles my mind.
Yes, and a lot of this is going on here, A-G.
