What I'm getting at is that I doubt that conflicting messages or attitudes account for your creationist beliefs.

Recapitulation is out in the way that Heackel formulated it. But developmental ontogeny is a trajectory through a phenotypic space and the patterns which emerge within that space are broadly reminiscent of ancestral forms. However, the wide variety seen between organisms and their development allows precise comparisons only between closely related species and then only during certain points of development. The conflicting messages come from viewing various aspects of development.

What I'm getting at is you're attempt to label me a creationist when you know so little about me. And I have no reason to believe what you say above. In fact, I think you're so surprised somebody can read everything I've read and not accept evolution as fact, that you don't know what to say other than try to minimize my issues with the creation/evolution debate to something so trivial. I'm so sick of that elitist attitude.
