Grow up. Learn to argue without insults. Don't use Scripture to insult people. You will get much farther in life. Personal attacks are not rational debate. I hope they make you feel like a smart person or something because they certainly serve no other use. If you really believe any Scripture and don't just use it to flavor insults then you would be well advised to reread the parts about how to treat other people. And if you think my saying something you disagreed with was just grounds to pull out the insults then I find it hard to imagine you believe any scripture. The Bible has many things to say on the subject of fools. Since you clearly think I am out perhaps you should go look for the part that says you should mock and insult fools. Either my scripture is rust or it is not there. If you think your mocking and insulting IS rational debate I would suggest you find some book on THAT subject and study up.

Because if so, I'd like to point out that your first post on this thread -- the one I first responded to -- was "mocking and insulting", not to mention arrogant, sarcastic, devoid of any real substance, and entirely lacking in rational debate. And it was *wrong*, to boot. It was just a long-winded exercise in mocking and insulting the people who have spent years of hard work studying things like this, by posting your fantasies about how they "toss out a vague estimate" or what they "liked best", etc. What you *don't* know about this subject would fill volumes, yet that didn't stop you from spouting off your ignorance and insults as if they were established fact.
So don't lecture *me* about "personal attacks", about not engaging in "rational debate", about "how to treat other people", etc., when my posts didn't even equal, much less exceed, the obnoxiousness of your own "contributions" to this thread.
And for pete's sake, if you can't stand some criticism -- and clearly you can't, given your outraged responses -- don't be the first one to throw stones. Sheesh.
It doesn't look like *I'm* the one who needs to "grow up". Don't waste any more of my time with your hurt feelings, and go see to that beam in your own eye.
