It was old school lawyers’ advice: when you make this point, raise your voice, pound your fist on the table, blow spittle, and show yourself angry. Why? It’s your weakest point.
LoL.......
Weak how? Go ahead and read it for yourself. I'll post it again, from -YYZ-'s #17 (emphasis added):
We’ve heard all this before and it’s still a load. A belief in evolution is not inconsistent with a belief in God, nor does it inevitably lead to a belief in humanism, communism, or whatever. The Islamist terrorists that we are fighting today are creationists - does that mean creationism is responsible for their murderous creed?
Obviously -YYZ-'s, "does that mean creationism is responsible," is rhetorical/sarcastic. Obviously -YYZ- was affirming that creationism is NOT responsible for "their murderous creed". Obviously -YYZ- was affirming that such an argument is completely invalid.
That was my point: That several creationists became outrageously upset with this comment, even though the comment was saying it would be WRONG to impute to creationism generally the bad creed of SOME who happened to be creationists.
I think I have a very strong point in that not a single creationist here picked up on what was actually said, instead took great umbrage, played the victim, while never denouncing, and in many cases approving, an actual and affirmative guilt-by-association smear against evolution comprised by the article at the top of the thread.
By airily dismissing this point, instead of engaging it, you tacitly endorse this hypocritical double standard yourself. That only further strengthens my point.
