Do you have anything positive to contribute to this thread’s discussion? If you had been the recipient of your brand of personal attacks perhaps you’d get a hint at how your comment affects others who are here to discuss issues.

LOL. I've been the target of more vicious attacks right here on FR than you can imagine. Oddly enough, they come primarily when I try to discuss the issues regardin evolution.

If you can’t make a good enough argument without resorting to personal attacks, perhaps doing some in-depth reading on the subject matter would help.

I've done some in-depth reading on the subject matter -- since the 1970s, in fact. I've been part of these discussions on FR since the 1990s. I've included Hoodat in this reply because he/she/it asked for evidence. Below, I offer some, already posted here on FR, but evidence none-the-less, and pretty good evidence at that. How long before it's hand-waved away? Again.

29+ Evidences for Macroevolution

Evolution in (Brownian) space: a model for the origin of the bacterial flagellum

The Fossil Record: Evolution or "Scientific Creation"

And, finally, a comprehensive overview of evidence for evolution, why it's science, and other interesting links: Un-Missing Links

If you don't want to go so far afield, here are two posts on FR with very, very good evidence for evolution:

Tom the Dancing Bug, and ... let's just call it post 661.

Thank you for writing a well thought out non-abusive post. All of us moderators are volunteers here with private lives. No one, including Jim Robinson has the time to read every single post that every person writes on Free Republic.

If anyone makes a personal attack against you, the only way we would know is if you let us know by hitting the abuse button.

Obscene comments, double entendres and casual profanity have the potential of offending most people so the best rule of thumb is to refrain from using any of it to make a point.
