In a nutshell.
Somebody call for a Christian?

You got the wrong kind of Christian. That little debating tactic doesn't work with me because though I do my best to be a good Christian, I've never learned to turn the other cheek or mince words. More a Christian soldier type. And so I'm a sinner but I'm striving to do better. :-}
I've judged, with no apology, that statement to be bigoted. I've asked you to retract it or explain it. You've done neither. Evidently, my initial judgment was correct.
It's "Chritians" like you that give Christianity a bad name.
You don't speak for Christians nor do you get the final judgment so you'll understand if I don't take your sophistry to heart.
In a nutshell.
That same poster started in this thread using entropy to debunk evolution. Even after several posters showed where her technical "misunderstandings" and misquoting the 2nd Law of thermodynamics were, she still attributes her misposts as "font errors" even though several errors were in normal English rather than mathematical symbolism. That other poster also support that lie by saying they "have read where (there are entropy concerns with evolution).
Oh, but I have explained it. As I admonished you to read the thread three times.
Again you have made a false assumption and have beared false witness against me. Seems that that trait is part of your being a soldier? Now I know why the witches were burned ...
Before things get out of hand here, I know you're aware that "anti-evo" is not the same thing as "Christian," (despite their defamatory claims to the contrary). And many, perhaps most, muslims are also anti-evo. The creationists are a special sub-set of those groups.
Aren't you worried that the One that does get final judgement finds you commiting one of the deadly sins?
LOL, more bigotry. I got your number pal.
"On the other hand, I don't think it necessarily follows that the only other explanation is design by a creator, I'm open to that but it strikes me as an unproven hypothesis. The creation of new species could also be the result of a biological process we don't yet understand, it seems to me."
Must have been the MONOLITH(Cuing organ, trumpets and Richard Straus's Thus Sprach Zarathustra)!
Didn't take you long to jump on the bigot train.
I didn't see the show, Jeff; but if they did what you describe, then one can't ask for more.
I've judged, with no apology, that statement to be bigoted. I've asked you to retract it or explain it. You've done neither.
He most certainly *has* explained it (see post #1214 for example, which came even before your original complaint to him in #1231). Thus his remark about how "you have been twice admonished for not reading the rest of the comments".
Evidently, my initial judgment was correct.
Evidently, then, your judgment needs work.
No. You excused your sinning based on being a "soldier" for God. That is how many innocent people were murdered .... in the name of God.
I knows 'em when I sees 'um.
Here's a clue: look in a mirror.
Which is why I didn't use the term "Christian". Did I miss something in the air?
Would you like to clarify yourself here, pal?
Thank you for noticing. I posted the 19 trillion number and none of the creationists responded. When I asked for replies, I got silence, or "I'm too busy".
If exponential growth gives ridiculous numbers for both 6000 and 30,000 years, then something is wrong with the underlying assumptions.
Another clear case of creationists being able to do arithmetic, but unable to understand when and why.
Interestingly, it was the impossibility of exponentional population growth that started Darwin wondering about natural selection.
Why are they members of their congregation when they reject The Church's position on evolution or their pastor's interpretations of the Bible?
He already has, keep reading the thread.
Admittedly, though it was worded tackily, and was was needlessly confrontational.
