Not all [E]vols ... are in the "Materialist Atheist" camp.

Yes, I exaggerated to make a point. However, those who maintain they believe in both Evolution and God do not subscribe to the Evolution of Dawkins or Gould, that is, mainstream Evolution, which is both Atheistic and Materialistic. Some apparently delude themselves that Christianity is reconcileable with the Evolution of Dawkins and Gould. It's not. And that's why the Evols exhibit such delight in bashing "Creationists", which, incidentally, has nothing whatever to do with science.

You appear to intend to allow the impression ...

There you go again, Gumlegs. You have the irritating habit of putting words into peoples mouths, then arguing your case, even while looking the words themselves straight in the face. My words require no interpretation. Please break this very bad habit.

Be careful about the casual use of the term, "lie."

A lie is a lie, Gumlegs, and I am not casual about lies or liars. You also have the irritating habit of giving unbidden and unnecessary guidance. Kindly direct it elsewhere. Your subsequent posts will be ignored.

To: Phaedrus; All
Phaedrus has announced he's ignoring me. I can take it. However, casual observers may be interested in the following.

Me: Not all [E]vols ... are in the "Materialist Atheist" camp.

Yes, I exaggerated to make a point.

Ah. You get to exaggerate. Do I?

However, those who maintain they believe in both Evolution and God do not subscribe to the Evolution of Dawkins or Gould, that is, mainstream Evolution, which is both Atheistic and Materialistic ...

Are you sure your characterization of "mainstream Evolution" is correct? Or might this be another "exaggeration"?

Some apparently delude themselves that Christianity is reconcileable with the Evolution of Dawkins and Gould. It's not. And that's why the Evols exhibit such delight in bashing "Creationists", which, incidentally, has nothing whatever to do with science.

Interesting. You actually know why people who believe in evolution do things. Mind reading? I'll ask you the same question I've asked Gore3000: I'm thinking of a number from one to ten. What is it?

Me: You appear to intend to allow the impression ...

I have a habit? Look in the mirror. My words you quoted above were paraphrasing ... you! Your objection only appears to make sense because you unaccountably deleted the context! Here it what you had posted, and the words I responded to:

Right Wing Professor intended to allow the impression that the Pope and the Catholic Church were in accord with the "theory" of Evolution (see his post), as have other Evol posters in recent months. The Church is not and it is thus a lie, Gumlegs, pure and simple.

You clean up your act and mine will be fine. After all, I was paraphrasing you.

Me: [In response to material in the blockquote above]. Be careful about the casual use of the term, "lie."

A lie is a lie, Gumlegs, and I am not casual about lies or liars. You also have the irritating habit of giving unbidden and unnecessary guidance. Kindly direct it elsewhere. Your subsequent posts will be ignored.

It appears to me that it was you who was doing lying. However, I will comply with your unbidden advice and offer you no further advice. I hope other posters will note the lies and distortions in this exchange ... and their source.
