Point being that Modernman mentions this:

You creationists constantly call the TOE a "religion" without any support for your claim. 27 posted on 05/12/2005 9:22:50 AM CDT by Modernman

He mentions it as a part of a short dialogue early in the thread.

I posted definitions that label the word theory as a belief.

religion = belief, TOE = belief, TOE = religion

Obviously those scientists that dont believe in a a creation model wouldnt want to think of TOE as a belief, but as a Christian I'm not willing to give up that point. I'll call it a theory, you'll call it a theory. I know what I mean and I know what you mean. But we dont agree with what we each mean.

And, as has been pointed out, you are merely dishonestly using different definitions than the ones that are actually intended in the context. This has been explained so many times that there is no excuse for you to repeat this bogus argument. You are, without question, a liar.

You've been told before that when a word has multiple definitions, the applicable definition depends on the context. You, however, are pretending that you can use any definition that you want and apply it whenever you want to "prove" a point. This is classical creationist dishonesty, and I notice that you completely dodged the issue where, by your "logic", I "proved" that the Christian God is a tyrant, predisposed toward cruelty and the cause of suffering.
