Ichneumon, I feel sorry for you.

I'll try to contain my disappointement.

People are not persuaded by insults, sarcasm or bitterness.

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

It turns everybody off, even those disposed to be on your side. And ironically, it tends to discredit your factual arguments. Lighten up.

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.

You're a smart guy -- and should know better than to argue matters of faith.

The only argument that exists is the impact of turning away from science.
