"Actually, I said "I would not presume to instruct you on your Extramarital Fornication". If you have none to report, that's fine by me."

By saying *your Extramarital Fornication* you are making a claim I do those things. Try and slither out of it like a Clinton if you must, but we all know what you said and what you meant.

"The point being, I know about as much concerning your Personal Life, as you know about Orthodox Fundamentalist Christianity."

Does your Orthodox Fundamentalist Christianity allow you to lie and be rude? I was raised Catholic, and we were taught to frown on those things. Maybe it's a denominational difference. (Hint to the crowd: I realize that all Christianity forbids lying and looks down on unnecessary rudeness.)

"Publications are not Education?"

No.

"Never mind, you've entered the "I'll disagree with anything you say, whether it makes sense to do so or not" phase of Debate."

Scientific publications are not used in school science classes.

"Since Rape isn't going away anytime soon... Maybe women should just lie back and enjoy it?"

You sure like wallowing in logical fallacies don't you? The issue of whether government schools should be abolished (they should) is moot because IT ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN any time soon. Most people will be educated in government schools for decades at least. As someone who cares about the scientific literacy of this country, it is a moral treason to lie to children and say that evolution isn't the best scientific theory about the diversity of life we have. It is also a lie to tell children that the earth is in the thousands of years old instead of the correct figure which is in the billions.

"You have a truly amazing ability to miss my whole point."

I'll take that as a *no*, you have no reasoned, scientific argument against evolution (and cosmology, and geology, and particle physics...). You have feelings and emotion.

I *meant* that -- in trying to lecture me on being "UnChristian" -- you have about as much knowledge of my "transgressions" against Orthodox Presbyterianism, as I have knowledge regarding your personal life.

It was an illustration -- not of a claim, but of our mutual lacking for any claim.

On the other hand, if you want to believe that I was claiming to have followed you around taking snapshots of your nocturnal activities -- well, believe what you like. If you don't get my point -- whatever, it's a free country (shrug).

Sorry. I'm unwilling to debate Policy, without addressing the underlying Philosophy thereof.

It is both short-sightedness and intellectual cowardice to wrangle about what is, without considering what ought.
