In the meantime I've been becoming more educated on the ID/Neo-Darwinism debate, and while it is mildly interesting, I continually get both bored and overwhelmed, because it would be great to find a magic bullet that would put one theory above the other. I participated in a debate on another forum which I enjoyed, and I've been trading emails with a lot of intelligent people who make compelling arguments.
Stirrings of a crisis of confidence in his position?
It is blatantly obvious that there is an amazing degree of scientific elitism on the evolution side of this issue. There is way more here on FR than anywhere else, and while I asked for, received and discussed facts and refutations, I have no interest in posting them here. It was definitely interesting and educational, but it would be wasted here.<sigh> And thus ModernDayCato cuts & runs - even before we find out exactly what it was that he was challenging Thatcherite to! That is worse than junior-high. That is elementary school quality.So ID/evolution goes on the same trash heap with ... all the other stuff that I get tired of discussing on this board.
Note to ModernDayCato: The manly thing to say would be something like: "In the meantime I've been becoming more educated on the ID/New-Darwinism debate, and I have to admit that I don't understand this stuff quite as well as I thought I did. I still think you evoFreepers are acting as scientific elitists, but we'll just have to agree to disagree for now."
LOL. Stuff that would be wasted here sounds like stuff that has already been wasted here.
