If you get so upset by responses, why do you insist on these massive info-dumps? If I wanted to I could go copy and paste twenty pages on evolution myself.

People ask him for evidence. But when he gives evidence (explanations, references, offsite links, images, etc) people complain he is spamming. My conclusion is people don't want to debate. Instead, people want to have flamewars.

They don't upset me at all.

why do you insist on these massive info-dumps?

Because it demonstrates just how much of a lie it is when creationists keep insisting that there is "no evidence" for evolution, that it's just what scientists "imagine", etc.

I am under no illusion that the creationists will ever manage to learn anything from it. But I don't write those posts for the benefit of creationists. I write it for the people who are actually able to evaluate evidence with an open mind, who might otherwise fall for the dishonest propaganda of the creationists. When they see tastes of the vast amounts of overwhelming evidence that exists which supports evolutionary biology, they quickly realize just how much of a Big Lie the creationist claims about science are.

You guys can keep running in circles and yell, "that proves nothing!" in response to massive volumes of evidence which provide stunning confirmation of evolution, but it does indeed prove something after all -- that you guys are either lying about the evidence, or totally unable to understand it, much less refute any of it. Either way, it demonstrates just how huge of a mistake it would be to let such people pollute science classrooms with their falsehoods and misrepresentations.

If I wanted to I could go copy and paste twenty pages on evolution myself.

I wrote a great deal of the material in those posts, son.

And to date your responses have boiled down to:

1. Wow, that sure was big.

2. Insultingly accusing me of posting what I "imagine" could happen (when it's actually what has been overwhelmingly *determined* by thousands of studies).

3. Getting huffy about me calling you a "little snot" because of your insulting accusations.

4. Saying "Double wow. You included a table this time."

5. Dodging repeated questions about what your point (if any) might have been when you echoed parts of my own posts back at me, by just replying, "You like that phrase don't you?"

6. Childishly saying, "You, my friend, have problems" over the fact that I laughed at how you wrote "Nuff said" in a post in which you *hadn't said anything* other than to parrot my own text back at me.

7. Getting huffy again about the amount of information I present.

8. Saying that you "think" you might read the links I've posted.

9. Dissmissively saying, "Quantity does not ensure quality", when I never claimed that it did, and you have *yet* to address the actual quality of the contents of my posts.

If you're going to do nothing but be coy and evasive, and never actually address the *evidence* I've presented in numerous posts -- or if you're incapable of knowing how to formulate a real argument in response -- why do you even bother?

If you're trolling, you're not very good at it. And if you're under the impression that you're actually rebutting the material, you're entirely mistaken.

What exactly do you think you're accomplishing with your flippant and irrelevant responses?
