"If you are incapable of explaining it, don't be afraid to just say so."

As I told you in the other thread, dragging red herrings across the trail only fools the easily distracted. You have your answer in #71. The fact that you either don't like it, or can't comprehend it, is not my problem.

How on earth is asking you to explain your post a *red herring*?

"You have your answer in #71. The fact that you either don't like it, or can't comprehend it, is not my problem."

No, I didn't get a response to my question in post 71. You completely evaded it.

So, again, in what way did Darwin challenge Locke's metaphysics? Why do you keep posting the quote from Darwin's notebooks if you can't even explain, IN YOUR OWN WORDS, what the significance of it is?

Why are you running from your own post?
I'm not going away. :)

The point was that if you can't explain it, then you don't understand it, which raises the question of why you even post it.

Except that that is all the ignorant quote-mining fundies ever do with their "finds".
