If I remember this guy correctly, this is the point where he disappears.

Your record of being incorrect remains unbroken.

LOL - the topic at hand is your blatant hypocrisy in demanding civility from others. To that end, I offered a specific example, but that's not the sum total of it - oh, no. Not by a long shot. LOL.

I guess with you, the laughs just never end! Welcome back, Chuckles.

I don't want to turn this into the food fight you've so graciously offered to host, so I won't pull a "shubi" and accuse you of stalking. However, see post 60 again. You made a specific claim -an untrue one I might add- that I called all evolutionists atheists and liberals. Since I don't believe that, I am absolutely certain you cannot produce the link where I said that. Your threats are not in order nor is your offer to reference other threads. Your grossly uncivil behavior began with an ad hominem and has continued thus far without referencing the topic of this thread. There are a number of directions we can go from here. Which option would you like to exercise? Here are some from which you can choose:

Jews and Christians have always believed that there are an infinite number of alternate universes right alongside ours? With potentially a very large or infinite number of crucifixions of Christ (thus negating the uniqueness of the event)? Please... chapter and verse

I see it's time to lower my expectations. My response was to this part of your post:

describe the *large* realm of which our universe is thought to be merely a tiny part.

But like I said, you guys will allow for all kinds of universes so long as God doesn't reside in them. That is just a wee bit paranoid, especially since you can avoid Him only for a few decades.

They're huge fans of democracy for others, but not for themselves. In the sphere of science education, they are the equivalent of protectionists; they want special consideration for their own "industry" (the teaching of Darwinism) because it is, in their opinion, essential to the intellectual well being of their customers (students). They want special restrictions put on their "competition" -- any alternative theory of origins (even non-religious ones, like Fred Hoyle's "Cosmic Ancestry"), and any criticism of the orthodox model of Darwinism.

Exactly right and Ichneumon knows it. Don't expect to find much intellectual honesty among the self-appointed guardians of pseudo science.

Don't you wonder what the real motive is for their defense of evolution? They'll tell you it's for the sake of science or some such obfuscation, but the following is more likely: source

Modern Darwinism: the New Spanish Inquisition.

And see post #6--- Patrick tells his drones when to participate. Isn't that just like evolutionists to tell each other what to think? They have bumper stickers that say "Think for yourself" but don't really want that. They claim to be intelligent but have to be told when to join a thread and when to avoid it. Sheep. Cowards.

Laughable nonsense.

Careful, they take this stuff seriously. You might hurt the purposeless feelings of some soulless, will-less evolutionist in his imaginary world who is particularly lonely this time of year.

I here these overtures from the evolutionists on this forum. You know who you are.

They might theorize who they are but these days they are heavily into denial.

Who exposed your hoaxes and how many decades "science" accepted them does not change the fact that the desperate tendency of evolutionists is to fake evidence.

Well, gee. I guess I'll go for option 6 - call Dataman out and expose his hypocrisy in calling for civility. Feel free to disappear now, little troll.

LOL. Sorry. Anyway, expect someone to go shopping for a sympathetic mod by whining about "stalking" or some such idiocy - there's a tiny chance it'll get pulled and clear up the formatting of the thread ;)

One thing an evolutionist cannot answer is if their idea of a "big bang" theory is really an admission the universe is an Immaculate Conception...

DNA is the singularity that evolutionists rely upon by belief to support their theory. This is no different than the Big Bang - - just another Immaculate Conception...

What a lot of people forget when they promote such NONSENSE is the Aristotelian categorical model and scientific method...

I often remind the eco-fascist veggie nazis who say humans weren't "designed" or "meant" to eat meat, that inherent in their statement is the premise there is a designer or some sacred meaning to human existence. Logic often diffuses theory into a foundation of belief...

Evolution relies on the singularity of DNA... Without evidence that there is life without DNA, these evolution theories are all based on fallacies... Every living thing we have encountered has DNA...

True, the majority of FR's rabid evolutionists are admitted atheists ...

You have a list of the most frequent posters -- just look at PH's ping list. Now tell us which of (the majority by your count) are admitted atheists. Please show your work. Link to the posts where we proclaim ourselves to be atheists. If you cannot show the links, then you are a liar.

A nice collection, but you failed to show where I called all evolutionists atheists or liberals. Nothing is beneath you guys, is it? You just make it up as you go along.

In post #43 you said "...the majority of FR's rabid evolutionists are admitted atheists ..."

This is actually a much stronger statement than asserting that they "are" atheists. One could be an atheist and deny it.

But you say we are "admitted" atheists.

Prove it.

... just look at PH's ping list.

My ping list is now 212 names long. (None to my knowledge are leftist, but that doesn't stop the creationists from claiming otherwise.) I'm aware of maybe 3 or 4 who have stated that they're atheists, but there could be a few others that I can't recall. It's a very small percentage of the list. Almost everyone else who has mentioned the subject endorses some kind of theistic approach to evolution. So does the Pope, and so do probably most (or certainly many) Protestant denominations.

I've been a Freeper 26 days longer than Dataman. I say he's the atheist. Neener, neener, neener.

You've been here a tad over a year longer than me, so ... say what you will, old timer.
