"Perhaps if you were to burn me at a stake, you could finally make me recant my positions about scientific hostility."

Good point, I'll look into it.

"Thank you for acknowledging the meaning of "theory", and again validating my point by using the term crackpot in reference to those to which you disagree"

All theories do not all deserve the same respect. Evolution deserves tremendous respect because it has withstood scrutiny for almost 150 years. For a competing theory to seriously challenge the validity of it they must provide strong evidence against it. ID does no such thing.

"I'm delighted that you can read my mind concerning ID. Do you have any other paranormal skills that you would like to share?"

I don't need to read your mind to know what your opinion of ID vs. Evolution is. Just as ID advocates don't need to say explicitly that they are talking about a Christian God when they say *intelligent designer*. They don't mean the Hindu pantheon.

And yet you are wrong. I have no opinion on ID, as I've never read the theory. This is what happens when emotion rules over observed facts. Imagine that, you were wrong, and yet so certain.

Thanks again for proving my point concerning the emotional response of those who think themselves scientific.

Just as some of Orwell's animals were more equal. You are a treasure. Do all evolutionists foam at the mouth? I wonder how that developed. Did early bacterium foam when challenged? Perhaps the foaming is attractive to fertile mates. This must be. How else to explain its current existence, despite millions of years? Or perhaps it was ID, and you were intended to have foam, as to warn others. Alas, I'm afraid it is all open to debate (unless of course you get your way).
