Believe what you choose, narby. I've been published perhaps fifty times in national magazines, but maybe I just have a few folks fooled into thinking I "know how to communicate," while you really figured me out by way of not reading my post.

Brevity is the soul of wit. Real talent at communication is reducing the essence of your idea to as few words as possible.

The choir loves to be preached to, and I'm sure you entertain your readers. But as soon as you posted bible verses in a discussion about science, I'm no longer interested.

Sorry.

OH, I see: I suppose no posts, indeed no writings of any kind should ever be more than a couple of sentences? No topic could possibly warrant anything longer?

Also, now you claim you didn't read my post because I posted a Bible passage. Yet in your original reply, you didn't read it because I exceeded the allotted number of sentences, thereby proving that I couldn't communicate and didn't know what I was talking about. Which is it, narby?

As for my preaching to the choir, the vast majority of my published articles have nothing to do with Christianity or evolution. I write for a number of popular technology magazines. There ain't no choir.

You were no longer interested when Bible verses were posted period...even when it didn't pertain to "science".
