The view that pixies make airplanes fly or pixies push electrons around etc.

You know?

We? Do?

what is with you people?

"What is with us people" is that we point out that many of the anti-evolution creationist arguments sound (rightly) bizarre and silly when applied to just about anything other than biology.

Who says that but ‘your side’

No one, but it has a distinct resemblance to various arguments and claims put forth by many anti-evolutionists. Your response (if I may attempt to sum it up in a nutshell, "that's ridiculous!"), indicates that you are at least capable of recognizing the poor quality of these arguments when applied to scientific fields or to supernatural causes which are different than the ones you're used to seeing them applied to. Now it remains to be seen whether you can reach an appropriate conclusion about their validity when applied to, say, biology and certain other supernatural beings.

I mean this whole post here by you kind of encapsulates a big part of what goes down on these thread from the 'evo side'.

Actually, the point is that it "kind of encapsulates a big part of what goes down on these threads from" the *ANTI*evo side.

I think you can do better thomaswest.

I think he did rather well, actually.

BTW, the theories of flight aerodynamics had some big errors and misconceptions there, and somehow man designed and built those airplanes on flawed theory, just as he has with other flawed theory in the past. In the case of heavier than air aircraft, you start with the theory but do not adhere to the theory 100% for that’s where testing and modification come in.

Oh, good, does this understanding mean that you won't in the future make any snide remarks about any particular detail that evolutionary biology may have corrected itself on in the past, or may do after today?

Quoting: from post 348: I think you can do better [than] thomaswest.

I consider this high praise from Ichneumon. I am a mere physicist, with interests in separation of church&state matters. 'Rather well' gives me a B; I aspire to an A.
