You said — No, once a person claims that there are pterodactyls flying over our heads, I discount everything they say afterwords

Well, that should mean that you’re discounting everything that comes from Free Republic, as it consists of several different posters who are saying different things. That must mean that those particular posters who say things that you think are crazy, then render the whole of Free Republic as something *to be ignored* — just like a particular author or writer at WorldNetDaily that writes something that you don’t approve of renders all of it as something to be ignored, too... LOL...
And, by the way, I don’t know what article that you’re referring to, so I can’t comment on the content of such an article — but — if I do know how people tend to form arguments like this — it’s that they always leave out what makes something understandable and only put in their “comments” (here) that which supports their position... I suspect that’s what is going on here, too... :-)
Okay, following up on the pterodactyls comment...

I searched and found an article from Joseph Farah in the Commentary section of his news site, explaining why he personally believed in “Creation” as opposed to “Evolution”.
Since that is the only place I could find a single comment in the entire archive of years of articles, I assume it *must be* — this one article that you’re referring to, that has caused you to dismiss everything else written over the years...
Why I believe in Creation
Commentary by Joseph Farah
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?pageId=28069
And the *one line* that speaks of it, is the following — “There are also countless contemporary sightings of what appear to be pterodactyls in Asia and Africa.”
I see that he’s stating that there are reports of these sightings in Asia and Africa. I have to thank you for referring me to this, because I had not been aware of those “contemporary sightings”... that’s something *new* to me, and I would certainly like to follow up on that one.
HOWEVER, that being said (in that apparently some sightings do exist) — it *seems* to me that your objection is probably related to Farah’s enthusiastic support for CREATION as opposed to Evolution. And therefore, you think you must dismiss all the years and years of archived material and all the conservative issues on the basis of this one article, which mentions “pterodactyls” in one sentence.
Now, *that* (that kind of “dismissal* just by itself) is quite amazing. I would imagine that by now, you’ve completely eliminated all other news sources that exist in the world, using this kind of criteria. In fact, I’m wondering why you’re still reading Free Republic... LOL...
