Balrog666, with respect I'm being courteous.

True. And very nice. I meant no disrespect to you.

I tried being polite a few times but it's not my nature to suffer fools gladly. She'll either come back or she won't.

I don't agree with a single thing DittoJed2 has said, but she has defended her corner with spirit, which is praiseworthy, no?

This is where I disagree with you. She simply spammed the thread. She didn't dialogue or debate, she didn't read the links provided or didn't understand them, she accepted nothing that Ichy* posted, and she didn't challenge anything in any useful, instructive, or informative way. IMO, for a real dialogue/debate, you must listen to the other side's arguments and address them; dismissing them with a vague handwave wastes everybody's time.

*Ichneumon has some of the most instructive posts around and I am glad to learn from him/her.

He/she has indeed, exemplary posts!

DittoJed worked hard though: she had to reply to a lot of posts in a short time. I'm not satisfied with her offhand treatment of my posts regarding the Grand Canyon sequence and how it could be explained in terms of a single flood event (ie it can't) but she just went for an AiG explnation with no room for discussion. I suppose she was overwhelmed by the number of posts.

She does miss the point of science, though, especially where she fulmigates against the fact that 'science changes its mind to fit new facts' that's the whole point of it!
