"Taxesareforever claimed that I would not accept any evidence that supports intelligent design. Such a claim requires a presumption of my character."


****"Are you suggesting that I am making a personal "stab" -- or attack -- to individuals when I point out that their claims are in error? Should I refrain from correcting individuals who make statements that are not true? Do you believe that I was attacking you personally when I explained that your claim of there being "six kinds" of evolution was false and based upon a lie by Kent Hovind?

*** remember that statement you made...maybe he was also pointing out that you were in error, and was not making a personal stab.

YOU wrote:

"If, as you admit, you have not actually studied and researched the theory of evolution, then how can you know that it is a "waste of time"? Moreover, how can you make any authoritative claims regarding the theory, including that it violates the second law of thermodynamics or that there are "six kinds" that include elements of cosmology? Please correct me if I have misunderstood you, but it would appear as though you have just acknowledged that none of the information that you provide regarding the theory of evolution can be trusted as accurate."


"It was not intended as an insult. It was intended as an observation based upon your statement that you required the consumption of alcohol as a means of comprehending a dynamic biological system."

*****These comments clearly show that you turn the statements around. The others counter you and you take it as a personal attack on your character....he didn't attack your character. Clearly.

He did not make a statement referencing any claims that I had made. He made a statement specifically claiming that I will refuse to accept evidence that supports a particular position. Your suggest does not correspond with his statement.

These comments clearly show that you turn the statements around.

It is not my intent to "turn statements around". You made a statement that appeared -- to me -- to suggest that you have not actually studied the theory of evolution. If you have not studied the theory, then you cannot claim to be credible when speaking on the subject. If I misinterpreted your statement, I ask only that you clarify them so that I will no longer have an incorrect impression of you.
