Ichneumon, I feel sorry for you. People are not persuaded by insults, sarcasm or bitterness. It turns everybody off, even those disposed to be on your side. And ironically, it tends to discredit your factual arguments.
Lighten up.
I'll try to contain my disappointement.

They're seldom persuaded by facts either, if threads like this are any indication.

Has it escaped your attention that I'm *responding* to the tone of the people I'm addressing? Why aren't you taking them to task? Why single me out, when before I even joined this thread, it had such gems from anti-evolutionists as:
Amazing how disjointed things become when you're either too lazy, or too ignorant peruse them in depth.Or:
all the evolutionists cultists can say, is well - make up a big lie , using scientific jargon that means absolutely nothing (that's called an illusion) or call names. They sure sound like alot of democrats I know!Etc., etc...
If I've been insulting to anyone who wasn't already being obnoxious themselves in some manner, I'll be glad to apologize.

Reply: Ichneumon has been brilliant in providing factual information, from multiple sources with sound references, which anyone can verify.
I do not see "insults or bitterness" in any of his posts. Perhaps exasperation. He shows clearly that modern humans derive from earlier humanoids, that we Homo sapiens of today came from an earlier species, and we evolved in the general stream of other primate animals. Humans are certainly different mentally, but our circulatory system is identical to that of apes.
Ichneumon and I share one value, I think: We love how evolution, physics, geology, astronomy, biology, biochemistry, paleontology, archeology, and other sciences come together to support evolution.
If you are "feeling sorry" because Ichnenumon has a different world outlook than you, then it is you we should feel sorry for. It is sad that you see the world as needing magical godly interventions to make it 'understandable' to you.
Never been through Basic Training, I see. People who have allowed their minds turn to flab through disuse need to have their butts kicked occasionally.
