<< Like I say, the pictures are unambiguous >>
If that is so -- then why do you keep describing them as "meat" and "fresh meat" -- when they were bone fragments that were soaked for a week?
<< and so is the report from MSNBC and Reuters. >>
If that is so -- then why is there no evidence to support the statements in the stories? The National Guard memo story was straightforward too -- and so were the documents they showed! You believe those, too? They haven't retracted the claims, you know. So -- let's just keep pushing the story till they do; that's the "Christian" thing to do, is it?
<< The only thing in the whole picture which is ambiguous are the motives of the people trying to make something opposite of what the evidence indicates out of the story. >>
Since the ones saying the opposite of what the evidence indicates are the creationists, including AIG and a hundred other sites that followed the lead of AIG -- and since the actual evidence refutes what they said -- it is THEIR motives that we need to look at -- and frankly, their motives are NOT AT ALL ambiguous.
And neither are the motives of those who continue to tout a disproven story because of their refusal to do the honorable thing and admit error.
I want you lurkers to think long and hard about this little sub-thread about the T-Rex bones. We went through this same "chase me around the mulberry bush" routine yesterday with someone on another thread. Even though he was completely refuted by the facts -- facts in an article he himself quoted from -- he steadfastly refused to back down, in a long, protracted, increasingly bizarre exchange.
What does that say about motives? What does it say about integrity? We evil evos are constantly being accused of dishonesty and deliberate distortions. In fact -- this last post from tomzz offered up that exact accusation yet again -- IN A THREAD THAT CONTAINS THE PROOF OF HIS OWN DISTORTIONS!
Please -- you other creationists -- you other Christians -- is this really the way you want to be represented in this debate? Can't you provide some counter-measure to this behavior? Surely you would not condone it by your silence, or worse, support it openly. Would you?
It's not about winning points. It's about integrity. Without that -- how could we have any hope of sincere communcation?
