Since I'm not on the list, I'll just note that I don't hate science and that you have failed miserably to offer anything that will falsify your hypothesis.

No, you only dislike scientific conclusions that upset your religious preconceptions. I'm quite sure that you are happy to select from those scientific conclusions that don't upset you emotionally and aver that "you love science".

LOL. I have said, more times than I can count, on these threads that abiogenesis as fact affects my world or religious views not one iota.

A nice demonstration though of one caught in a box of their own making.

And BTW, who were you quoting when you said "and aver "you love science""? I like science but I love my grandchildren.

Hope I got the quote thing in order.

You know what the funniest part of the above exchange is to me, Dr. Eckleburg?

The funny thing to me is, "jwalsh07" is not now, nor has ever been, a member of "our little group" of Hyper-Fundamentalist Calvinists.

A Christian, yes. Libertarian-leaning, yes.

But Walsh has never beholden himself to any of the diverse Fundamentalist Factions of the Religion Forum, and in fact has exchanged some hard words with me in the past concerning my "libertarian naivete" -- whether the subject is Abortion, Education, or my isolationist Foreign Policy, I seem to remember that Walsh prefers a sort of "Reaganesque-spirited Realism" to my own idealistic Absolutism.

AND YET... the Evolutionists are so utterly Stalinistic in defense of Evolutionism, as to lump a jaded and pragmatic Conservative like Walsh in with a bright-eyed Young Punk True-Believer like me. And just because he dares to question Evolutionism, at that. He never even proposed Abolishing all Publik Skools; he just asked a question.

Mind you, "jwalsh07" never signed on to our crusade. As far as I know, Walsh has never signed on to any of my Quixotic, rhetorical Internet Crusades.

He asked a question.

And THAT, in and of itself, was enough to make him the Enemy of the Evolutionists.

Personally, I think that's quite revealing... and bloody hilarious.
