My observations from these FR threads: As a general rule, evolutionists deride and mock those who disbelieve what the evolutionists claim is "truth." As a general rule, evolutionists demand that disbelievers of their theories (who are then subjected to various forms of name-calling, belittlement, derision, etc.) post refuting sources. As a general rule, when disbelievers of evolution ask for specific sources upon whom the evolutionists rely to back up specific claims, evolutionists provide little to none, tell you to go find your own, and then continue with the mocking and name-calling, etc. When those who disagree with evolutionists post sources, i.e, scientists' names and documents, as a general rule, the evolutionists deride and mock those sources and state that ALL of those sources are incredible. And this is what most amazes me: while evolutionists state that those who disagree with them have a "closed" mind, or are stupid, or a simpleton, and more often than not chastise the "disbeliever" for not having a brain to "see what's in front of their face," as a general rule, those same evolutionists will not admit, or see, that not ALL scientists who dispute some portions of evolution theory are stupid or out of their league or not knowledgeable or not a "real" scientist.

It's hard to see what part of your post applies to any of mine.

I might add that I rather disagree with your generalizations.

Yeah, yeah. Those evil evolutionists.

Do you really want information? If so, start with the basic compilation of citations on Patrick Henry's home page. Note that in the footnotes of a great many of the listed articles, there are references to sources, such as journals, texts, articles, papers, and original research data. The material available to someone with even a casual interest is voluminous, and not at all difficult to find.

But in my experience, no amount of data or evidence will ever suffice. It will be dismissed with a wave of the hand, and the painfully juvenile pap from some creationist website will be tossed up as the "silver-bullet" that slays evolution.

I should think you would expect some mockery under the circumstances. Making a silly claim that there is no published literature documenting evolutionary observations, in the face of a veritable sea of such literature, invites the suggestion that you are willfully ignorant.

You are truly amazing!

It is truly a wonder that you have reached this point in your life without ever showing the slightest interest in nature or science itself. You have even reached your age and societal status without acquiring the slightest bit of an education in even "popular" science. But you persist in assuming that it must be someone else's fault that you're considered ignorant even for an inbred, illiterate, backwoods, pigfarmer!

And further, somehow, it's our fault that we can't, or won't, break down a lifetime's learning into 15-second soundbites for you? That we can't pound facts into your head while you simultaneously deny they even exist?

Call us when you wake up from your dream of Fantasyland. No, wait, don't wake up - you should be preserved as a warning to little children who don't do their homework - AAAARGH! This could be you!
