The upper limit is as low as their opponent is willing to drag the debate down and the low is as high a road as their opponent is willing to keep the discussion about science.

Is that "opponent" collective, or individual?

Keeping in mind if you’re demanding empirical evidence then be prepared to present your own. Walk the walk, don’t just talk the talk.

If I'm not proposing any theories, what is it I'm supposed to be providing evidence of? If they've got a theory, I'd like to see the evidence. Do I have to have a competing theory before they'll show it to me?

>>>>> Huh?

If they’ve got a theory, I’d like to see the evidence.

>>>> I thought you just said it’s indeed theory, and therefore needn’t require “evidence”...as theory is just that, “theory” and not fact. Theory advances, well THEORY, therefore what evidence are you talking about?

Do I have to have a competing theory before they’ll show it to me?

>>>>>> A better question would be, since so many darwinists keep parroting that ToE doesn’t address origins, then why do they get into such a snit every time ID DOES address origins?

Also, everytime someone shows it to you, you make comments like “Well, I don’t go to creation sites...but I’m sure they’re nice people”!
