I sometimes wonder how a person whose model of evolution is microscopically different from theistic evolutionist Junior's can address the evidence supporting your almost-identical beliefs so differently. It's almost as if you're either lying about what you believe or what you think about the evidence that would support your belief.

The creationists on this board don't seem to question their good fortune, so I'll turn the problem around. Let's suppose there was a supposed YEC who bought the creation doctrine line and sinker, except he was heretical on some minor detail that didn't change the expected results noticeably. Let's say he thought God delegated some creation to the angels and that's why some things were less than perfect.

The problem starts when any of the usual evidence for creation gets introduced. Someone mentions changes in the speed of light as a possible means to a young universe. Mr. Oddball joins the Es in attacking CDK and slaps high-fives with them after every volley. The behavior is repeated for every C mantra right down the list.

I suspect some BS detectors would light up that aren't lit now.

If you're going to protest that you don't want to talk about this then stop talking to me, because all I can think about is how you drip drip drip cynical dishonesty.

As much as your interest in psychoanalysis is important to you, my particular views are of no consequence to the errors which I point out. Your attempts to make me the center of attention are known as Ad Hominem. The points stand or fall on their own merits. They have been falling, at least the ones I choose to address. If you don't wish for me to comment on a particular thing you post, then don't post it.

If you can discern that my model of evolution is microscopically different from someone else's then there is no need to ask anything of me.

Finally, don't try to drag me into an argument in which I do not wish to engage. The only ones that I recall doing that are you and jennyp.
