I find it telling whom you decided to scathe with the snappy "classic ad hominem". None of that childishness from the "scientific" community, now is there?

I beg your pardon, but you are going to have to do better than simply accuse me of 'childishness' by virtue of the reputation, whatever it may be, of whoever it was that I identified as using an ad hominem fallacy. I stand behind my claim. The post my comment was aimed at didn't refute the statements presented in the links in question, but rather the individuals who made the statements. What is your definition of ad hominem?

Believe me, my dear Antonello, I've read and received enough posts by the "scientists" and the "educated" on these EVO threads to have a firm grasp on the use of "ad hominem" arguments against those with whom they disagree.
