Sorry, I don't just give my respect, a person has to earn it.

With that standard, how do you ever hope to be respected? You can't possibly expect any respect based on your behavior, can you?

Pardon me?

You said that I HAD to respect this man, I, in all honesty, think he is an arrogant ass, but that was because of something else on another thread.

The man is indeed arrogant, and indeed clueless, he assumes things that are not at all true.

Let me put it this way, I am unemployed right now, he decided since I was unemployed that I was not doing anything and had no control over my life. That is what he said.

He has NO clue as to what I am doing, excuse me, he HAD no clue as to what I am doing. He does now, I wrote him a private message telling him exactly what I was doing.

He made an ass of himself because he is an ARROGANT ass.

I couldn't care less whether you respect me or not, you obviously do not, because I am a free thinker, and that is a threat to your nice comfortable religious assumptions.

Evolution is science, whether you like it or not, THE ONLY people that say that evolution is NOT science are creationists, and IDr's, which are creationists trying to fool themselves into thinking that that is science.

You don't have to respect me, you don't have to believe in the fact that evolution is science, but it tells me a great deal about you, and it tells me that you do not deserve my respect either. Now, if you would admit that evolution is science, and creationism is religion, and that ID is religion, then I would respect you, because then I would know that you had an open mind and could learn. But you do not have an openmind, if it threatens your worldview, you attack it, with no REAL facts to back you up.

That doesn't deserve my respect, it hardly deserves a post.
