Thanks for the advice. I forgot that I was arguing with a stump. It is pointless, just like the debate. People that are convinced will not be swayed in either direction. If I am right then it will not be pleasant for them. If they are right, then we are all dead and nothing more. I am extremely doubtful of the latter.

My theory of evolution (of evolution threads)

Someone posts an article referencing either ID or ToE.

People argue the merits for a few posts.

The hardcore devotees arrive.

Humor is lost. Note the deterioration of the FSM threads.

Name calling starts.

Posters start getting petty.

Eventually only the hardcore devotees remain.

The final posts are hilarious to any outside observer.

The thread dies.


Maybe it is not evolution, but devolution.

Pascal's Wager is a false dichotomy, as is the notion of a choice between your version of Christianity and outright atheism.
