angryoldfatman: "Further up the thread he claims his sky fairy used evolution to create its creatures.
Now all of a sudden it's a strawman when I paraphrase his own claim.
Typical invisible sky fairy magical thinking and ignorance of logical fallacies."

I've said nothing about a "sky fairy", so it should cause you some pause to realize that you are here misrepresenting -- lying about -- both yourself and me, and for what purpose?

You came here first defending anti-evolution, then mid-stream, switching tacks, flipping to alleged pro-evolution, anti-religion.
All the while you do this, you misrepresent both your own and other positions.
In other words, nothing you've posted, from the beginning has been honest or truthful.
Apparently it's just argument for argument's sake -- instead of spreading the love, you are spreading the anger of an old fat man -- which makes me wonder if even that is also a lie.

As I've said from the beginning: your arguments sound sophomoric, meaning coming from a young person, smart enough, sure, but not old enough to have learned better.

So, again, my advice is to focus first on being honest & truthful, which could begin by getting rid of that stupid screen name, then coming back as somebody more devoted to truth, facts, reason & yes, love.

Your convincing demeanor and loving tone did that. You showed me the truth, and I accepted it.

Thanks!

What lie? The only lies I see on this thread are yours. Attribution of creation to a god (that can’t be detected with any method or device - a fairy by any other name would be just as magical), when evolution alone will do nicely, for instance.

What purpose do you have in telling such lies? I’ll go ahead and tell you: you’re a religious fanatic. Otherwise you wouldn’t be so obnoxious, outraged, and demanding, like you’re on a crusade or jihad.

Agree with BroJoeK or be a heretic! He shall put the screws to thee!

You don’t like my attitude or screen name? Tango Sierra, deal with it. Take your advice and shove it sideways, REMF paper-pushing loser. Go to Hell (which I don’t believe in), go straight to Hell, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

Quote for today:

The conflict is fundamental and goes much deeper than modern liberal theologians, religious leaders and scientists are willing to admit. Most contemporary scientists, the majority of them by far, are atheists or something very close to that. And among evolutionary biologists, I would challenge the reader to name the prominent scientists who are ‘devoutly religious.’ I am skeptical that one could get beyond the fingers of one hand. Indeed, I would be interested to learn of a single one. - William Provine
