“Isn’t this rather hypocritical?”
Again, no.
I don’t think I’ve encountered you on any of the evolution posts before and, from what I’ve seen all of your questioning has been sincere and not motivated by anything but a real want to know. I completely respect that. Any generality that is implied is meant for a specific crowd of troublemakers (ironic, ain’t it?) on these threads and not for folks open to reasonable and honest debate and civil disagreement.
I have yet to see you twist words out of context or label those who disagree with you... if I’ve missed that then I’ll catch on sooner or later. In the meantime, it’s a pleasure to correspond with you. Your questions are perfectly fair and deserve a fair answer.

Keep in mind that I was one of the atheistic "evos" to which you sent post #2, where you mentioned your need to either encourage or offend. It seemed rather unlikely that you were trying to encourage me, so I (understandably, I think) assumed the latter.
Given your explanation, I certainly retract my charge of hypocrisy.
These sorts of threads always seem to degenerate into a name-calling contest (Pawn of Satan! Superstitious dolt!). I always try (and usually succeed) to keep things civil, and encourage others to do the same.
