only denigrate people who display a degree of arrogance not justified by their demonstrated rational capacities. Anyone who chooses to bow out claiming no interest, no time, etc. (as I thought you planned to do after 126) gets my utmost respect.

Maybe your quick decision to accuse me of something I don't do (and haven't done on this thread) tells me something about the integrity of your assessments of others you read and disagree with. After all, I'm committed to dealing with reality, not some some preconceived projection thereof.

You vastly overrate your level of adult courtesy. I'll confine myself to reminding you of other equally disparaging remarks you've made to me on this thread:

They are coming from different perspectives and having what looks for all the world like an honest debate. Eeeegads, imagine that.

I'm not looking to prove evolution wrong, I'm not looking for its worst proponents, I'm looking for the best, and none of them address the best arguments of the ID side. At least not that I've found.

If you don't wish to be addressed in a contempuous manner, I respectfully suggest that you reciprocate.

I made both comments prior to the time you tipped your hand by making a definitive assessment about something you don't have time to read.

So at that time, I had no reason to be disrespectful and didn't think I was being so. Nevertheless, I apologize and wish you well.
