The speck in another's eye my friend.

I have seen you guilty as well as others on all sides. There was a story about dinosaurs that got hijacked by creationists and it was calm, peaceful, there was no backhanded jibes about creationists.

I thought I was about to enter the new FOX series "When Creationists Attack".

The problem for me is that any topic that discusses anything older than 6,000 years old, you feel to be fair game to hijack into a religious thread. I understand and appreciate your beliefs, but some times it gets tiring to have to divert the thread to placate you.

Sometimes a dinosaur is just a dinosaur, and not an attempt by people to belittle your beliefs. I am waiting for a group of evolutionists to try to hijack a "Pray for" whomever thread by saying prayer is bogus superstition, and that it is unscientific.

I hope you can see the difference. It may be because I believe in evolution, and I am biased, but it appears to this observer that you are less tolerant of others than you expect them to be of you.

Thank you for noticing and making this point. Those of us in the FR scientific community that have a belief in God sometimes participate in prayer threads. However, those of us who do not have a belief in God do not troll or try to disrupt those threads. The reverse is not true.
