Of course I am kidding. Reread the posts to me in the other thread, and put yoursewlf in my shoes. The tone of them was very condescending, one person called me son, another told me I could not believe one way, because I believed another. The tones were both very condescending. OK maybe I wasn't mocked, but I did recieve a smart alecky remark or two, I can take it. How can you tell me that just becausew you didn't see condescension that it wasn't there? I know it when I see it.

If I had made those posts I would expect similar responses.

one person called me son,

That was me, in reply to your amazing assertion that "A real scientist knows that we don't know anything about anything". My reply was, "Ooooookay..... Speak for yourself, son.".

another told me I could not believe one way, because I believed another.

I still can't find such a reply to you. Could you point it out please?

The tones were both very condescending.

And you don't think you were being condescending first by trying to dismiss all scientific knowledge with over-the-top statements like, "A real scientist knows that we don't know anything about anything"?

OK maybe I wasn't mocked, but I did recieve a smart alecky remark or two,

...in response to irresistably provocative statements.

I can take it.

Then stop bringing it up as if you're still aggrieved.

How can you tell me that just becausew you didn't see condescension that it wasn't there? I know it when I see it.

How can you ready my posts so poorly that you mistakenly think I have ever said that I saw no condescension?

What I said that I didn't see was a post where someone allegedly "eluded that [you] couldn't believe in both the Bible and science". On the contrary, I saw several posts clearly stating that it was indeed possible to believe both.
