OOps!

"hard time" (I wonder if that's Freudian?)

[grey_whiskers]

I thought most ALL fossils are found in limestone.

No, they much prefer museums and "Discovery Channel" documentaries, when not lounging around in their fashionable Montana strata. :-)

[grey_whiskers]

How can you be omnipotent if you can't shut something off when you want to? I know a lot of posters to these threads who appear to wish they could shut other posters off! :-)

[Dataman]

You asked for "one". I provided more than "one". I met your challenge,

I admitted you met my challenge of fining one. You did not, however, support your allegation of "often." Of course you and the other much-protesting bunch already know that.

[Dataman]

I'm starting to wonder if repeated, unapologetic fraud shouldn't be a banning offense here.

I agree. Your side would be seriously diminished.

[Dataman]

This goes beyond fear-induced rigid defense of a religious dogma, IMO.

Catching Dimensio making an allegation he can't support is fear-induced defense of a religious dogma? I long for the days of an intellectually honest evolutionist like JazzRaptor. These silly sophomoric mischaracterizations from your side are so..... well, childish.

[Dimensio]

I don't really have time to go over everything right now, because I know that Dataman is far too dishonest and hypocritical to do anything but weasel around here, so I'll just pick out a few things that I want to address right away.

"I generally distrust the judgment of evolutionists because they're atheists."

This one appears to be a fabrication (would an evolutionist fabricate evidence? Say it ain't so!). The error is:

The requested document does not exist on this server. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay

So far that's two strikes and one fabrication. Four more to go.

Yes, because it must be a fabrication because it's impossible that I just messed up the link.

I made a mistake. Not in the quote itself, but in linking to the quote. Unlike you, Dataman, when my evidence doesn't check out, it's typically because I made an error in presentation, not because I was lying outright.

But hey, if you want to call me a liar even though I just messed up the link, go ahead. I won't wait for your apology.

Shame, Dimensio. The reply was to "you and your buddies,", not all evolutionists. And it was about your (plural)eternal destiny, a place not exclusive to atheists. This one fails too

Gee, and now I wonder why I bothered linking back to the original posts. I guess that it was too much to expect you to read for context where, if you read back through, you will see that he also made the statement "My view of FR has changed after reading this thread. I never knew that conservative America was made up of so many people who are so desperate to deny God that they stoop to elaborate, unprovable, inimitable and riciculous theories."

But, of course, you'll say that he wasn't talking about all evolutionists, he was just talking about all of the evolutionsts that he happened to be addressing at the time.

But, hey, after nagging, prodding and badgering, you did finally admit that I met your "find one" challenge, even if the admission had to be dragged out of you. Maybe there's hope for you yet.

[Ichneumon]

[You asked for "one". I provided more than "one". I met your challenge]

I admitted you met my challenge of fining one. You did not, however, support your allegation of "often." Of course you and the other much-protesting bunch already know that.

No, what we *do* know is that you've now been reduced to weaseling over exactly what rate might be "sufficient" for the broadly subjective word "often".

By Dimensio's standards, and mine, as well as that of other posters on this thread apparently, it happens far *too* often. Ideally, if creationists actually stopped to think (or learn something) before they posted on this topic, it wouldn't happen even once.

Apparently you want to spend all day quibbling over whether *you* might accept the actual frequency of occurrence as something *you* might call "often", and using *that* bit of personal stubbornness as a bizarre excuse to keep digging in your heels on a ridiculously trivial issue you should have ceded or dropped long ago -- or never even bothered to "make a stand" on in the first place. "Mountains out of molehills", thy name is Dataman.

Jeez, man, give it a rest. You're just being beyond silly now.

[Long Cut]

I thought I heard something...nope. Nothing worth listening to, anyway.

[Long Cut]

Did you hear something, Ich? Kind of like the sound of a Credibility dying in pain at the hands of a liar?

Way off in the distance, somewhere.

It's almost a "whining" sound.

[Ichneumon]

But even if it were true, why should it bother you?

Why did it bother *you* enough to turn it into your Holy Crusade du jour?

[RightWingAtheist]

I certainly don't mind having you tell me I'm wrong :)

[Ichneumon]

Did you hear something, Ich? Kind of like the sound of a Credibility dying in pain at the hands of a liar? Way off in the distance, somewhere. It's almost a "whining" sound.

Hard to tell, such sounds almost seem to reach a chorus intensity some days, it's so hard to pick out the individual sound of just one spinning down into the void.

[shubi]

You have constructed an argument without an opponent.

[shubi]

I really don't see how denying the truth that Dimensio demonstrated helps your cause. Are you claiming Christ, as you twist and turn trying to avoid being wrong?

[Matchett-PI]

Matchett-PI:"And they run from this guy like the scared-assed apes from which they think they descended. Hahahahaha"

Ichneumon:"... I ... don't think he's worthy of even much passing attention, much less "running from", so it appears that your assessment is mistaken, as usual."

"Indeed, the perversity of the impious, who though they struggle furiously are unable to extricate themselves from the fear of God, is abundant testimony that his conviction, namely, that there is some God, is naturally inborn in all, and is fixed deep within, as it were in the very marrow. . . . From this we conclude that it is not a doctrine that must first be learned in school, but one of which each of us is master from his mother's womb and which nature itself permits no man to forget."

Ichneumon:"As for being like those from whom we descended, you remind me of a relevant quote:" "For my own part I would as soon be descended from that heroic little monkey, who braved his dreaded enemy in order to save the life of his keeper; or from that old baboon, who, descending from the mountains, carried away in triumph his young comrade from a crowd of astonished dogs -- as from a savage who delights to torture his enemies, offers up bloody sacrifices, practices infanticide without remorse, treats his wives like slaves, knows no decency, and is haunted by the grossest superstitions." -- Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man, 2nd ed., London: John Murray, 1901, p. 946.

Proving nothing other than the fact that arrogant, self-righteous, moral relativists pretend that there is no way the Creator / Sustainer God could possibly exist since the evidence shows that he doesn't come up to their standards of goodness. [Romans 1:25]

Ichneumon: "Apes in general are more inspiring relatives than many so-called humans. So I wouldn't get too smug if I were you."

"Indeed, the perversity of the impious, who though they struggle furiously are unable to extricate themselves from the FEAR of God ...."

You can run - but you can't hide.

[RightWingNilla]

The Onion?

[shubi]

Do you really think this kind of stuff is an effective witness for Christ?

[Matchett-PI]

"...this kind of stuff .."

I have to admit, Romans 1:20 does piss a lot of people off.

[shubi]

I think it is more you than the verse in Romans.

Beating someone over the head with the Bible may make you feel better, but I doubt if it is something Jesus would do.
