I typically leave balrog unanswered as well. But he spoke of another as if he had any room. There is a time when "just letting them talk" isn't allowable.
I understand I can do better, but I also hold that balrog shouldn't be allowed to act like he does and get away with it.
When you see two children, and they are fighting, and you know one ALWAYS fights, do you *only* chastise the non-fighter? No, you put the punk kid back in line too.
Perhaps you would care to explain why ID proponents never, ever criticise creationists when they repeat the same lies and absurdities, thread after thread.
There are lots more wherre these came from.
I am also curious why creationists almost never criticise ID proponents for denying God as the Designer. I mean, who designed Magrathia?
