Probably impossible to follow for someone not immersed in the thread, I admit. But it was an interesting experiment that I'm still mulling over.
They're always snapping at me for wondering what the heck is going on with them. But that's part of the fascination. Here and there I learn something new on the science end, but mainly it's the fencing with bullet-proof minds and delusional systems that keeps me intruiged.
There really is this religious horror going on behind all the "scientific skepticism" of evolution. It's why I still wonder in case after case, "How much does that guy really admit to himself?"
I know. There's never a point scored in that respect, though. The delusional system is a deliberate and very emotional decision on their part. One that can't be overcome with rational science.

Yeah, it is fascinating (and a bit scary). Trying to get g3k to admit the facts of natural history, with or without evolutionary explanation, is like trying to get a D*m*cr*t to admit that [g3k's namesake] tried to steal the election.
I too wonder how much the little voice of conscience nags g3k (and the other C's who aren't flat-out delusional); I'd think trying to live with such contradictions would drive them crazy.
I once posted that sometimes these threads make me feel like Oliver Sacks.
