Let’s remember that you asked a question whether or not evo questioners should be raising religious questions on what is a political commentary site. My response was that the politicization of evolutionary science, principally by non scientist socialist types who were using evolution a a means to justify the destruction of bed-rock American principles, was very much valid topic of discussion.

I do agree with you that the arguements get a bit ad hominem on both sides of the arguement. I certainly agree that self honesty about personal motives and beliefs must be above board.

I also was not attacking or supporting evolution or change theories in any way shape or fashion. I was argueing about how the politicians and certain members of the “chattering class” always misuse science and try to fashion social policies based on theories and discoveries that have been “tortured and twisted” to fit an anti-American or anti chrisitan agenda. That is where a lot of Christians show concern. It’s not so much the science, but where evil men will try to take the science. A humourous line from a Tom Lehrer song illustrates the point; it has von Braun stating...”vonce da rockets go up, who carehhs vheres dey goes down...that’s not my depahhhrtment, says Verner von Braun”

"Let’s remember that you asked a question whether or not evo questioners should be raising religious questions on what is a political commentary site..."

What I was trying to ask (apparently with less clarity than I hoped for) whether it was worthwhile to post nearly the SAME THING OVER AND OVER again. If I had some obsession with Clinton's old cat "Socks", as mentioned in some earlier reply, and kept posting the same thing over and over about Socks dying, readers might legitimately question why I would do that. The might suggest I take my posts to a site devoted to pets, where the subject of a pet cat posted over and over would be the "norm". The specific example I cited was another Freeper from days long gone who did the same thing with Magnetic Levitating Trains. Worthy of discussion when public funding is considered, but a tad excessive when posted OVER AND OVER with essentially no new information or events.

"...I was argueing about how the politicians and certain members of the “chattering class” always misuse science and try to fashion social policies based on theories and discoveries that have been “tortured and twisted” to fit an anti-American or anti chrisitan agenda.

Careful where you bandy about the

...“tortured and twisted” to fit... by evil men

generalization, as these threads have seen more than enough obvious and laughable "torturing and twisting to fit" particular beliefs held dear. When every geological formation that is jumbled becomes "evidence" for a world wide flood, when clearly stacked layers of ancient rock are simply passed off as "God Made Them Look Old", many YEC's need to look in the mirror with regard to "torturing and twisting to fit".

In closing, let me state that I greatly appreciate your polite and respectful replies, as a few others here could find a lesson in them. Thanks, and have a good rest of the day!
