Who said anything about a conspiracy?

My comment in post 53 was this.....

“SO much easier to be the martyr, which doesn’t wear well on a darwinist with the kind of obnoxious, troll like behavior they exhibit when a creationist thread is posted.

Nobody pings them to it and yet they find them, swarm them, and ridicule and mock everything anyone else believes and stands for.”

The point of the comment was that the evos complain about creationist threads being posted on FR and where they’re posted.

If they don’t like it or them, they don’t have to participate. Nobody is making them. Nobody pinged them to it to invite them over for debate, or to try to annoy them like they were taunting them with it.

They searched the threads out on their own, as anyone has the right to do. But to come on and stir the pot like so many do with their Christian and creationist bashing tirades and then complain about the lack of intellectual or scientific debate is beyond the pale.

The objection isn’t to them coming on the thread and discussing the thread. The objection is to coming on the thread and using it as an opportunity to Christian bash.

Not me.....

“The objection isn’t to them coming on the thread and discussing the thread. The objection is to coming on the thread and using it as an opportunity to Christian bash.”

Ah, see, here is where there is the misunderstanding. I have repeatedly stated that I slam “creation science”, not the concept of creationism - yet it is very difficult to get anyone on the “creation science” side to admit there is a distinct delineation between the two concepts.

I think I know why, and that is that “creation science” has no standing in faith or science - but they try to use both as an excuse for their mediocrity.

Now here you seem to engage in the same practice. In a previous post you make a totally unsubstantiated claim that “evos” have fewer advanced degrees than “non evos” then here, you make the claim that criticism of the claimed “creation science” is an attack on Christianity.

I’ve always tried to live by the rule that someones faith honestly expressed is off-limits for undue criticism (not necessarily disagreement or discussion).

You and the profligate GGG do not seem comfortable with the separation of “creation science” from faith - because it leaves you naked and exposed in your ignorance of science - so when the “science” that is presented on the GGG threads is criticized (as it richly deserves to be), you attempt to hide behind faith - then try to equivalence belief in the research-backed theoretical concepts of evolution (and other sciences) to faith.

NOBODY pings them, and yet they find them... --- I think that in light of the fact that the Internet is a PUBLIC place open to ALL people almost everywhere, and that the search at FR and all the big search engines send bots through FR makes this a very silly irrational naive complaint.

Obviously you are reading your words differently from how others are reading same.
