All right. I went through the first two hundred posts. I found that poster Puroescue (Sp?) indicated his willingness to accept evidence to the contrary of an opinion (but which was NOT directly about the debate). Props to him.

Posts # 4,5, and 172 were typical slurs on those who accept the TOE. Posts # 44 and 165 were repetitions of the "charicature" of the TOE that the creationists spin, and which have been refuted hundreds of times on these threads. Oh, #99 was a particularly bad one, too.

That was just in 200 posts.

While I do admit that some on the Evo side get rough, it is only a few individuals. On the Creo side, we see a continuous, multi-thread effort to repeat the same lies, distortions, and charicatures of the TOE, and the same debunked objections to it, as we've seen for years. Devastating evidence has been introduced on the Evo side; to my knowledge, no Creo has ever indicated that he might have been wrong in its face, or even that he might have been misinformed.

A more important high level observation of the creo/evo debate is that the debate always revolves around EVOLUTION. Why? Because evolution is an actual theory with data nd research and predictions, whereas creationsim 1.0 and 2.0 (ID) have no data, research or predictions to defend!

Somehow the huge explanatory model of evolution is suspect, but the contrary explanation of "god dunnit," never seems to raise any eyebrows among evangelical christians.

I'd like to see a good debate on what ID explains and predicts, like the debates we have on evolution... oh wait, ID doesn't explain or predict ANYTHING, because it is not real science like evolution!
