Are you pretending that I have not already posted Message-ID:
, or do you merely lack the wherewithal to
comprehend it?

Yet some become adamant that anyone who denies the "fact"
of evolution must be insane.


Well, given that we actually observe evolution happening, to deny it we
would have to be insane or dishonest.

Sorry about being off topic, but really, as
if none of you ever are.


#1. Since when are tu quoque arguments valid?
#2. I don't see anyone else posting religious claptrap (even though
several of us have religious beliefs). It's called "respect" -- you can
find out what that word means by looking in a dictionary.

Yes I do agree that some of so called "Creation Science" is done
by so some with truly closed minds.


By definition, *any* espousing of the oxymoron that is creation science
is done either by a closed mind or one that is so open that the brain
has fallen out and got lost.

There are however many scientists who are christians who have made
valid contributions to science, and some of their research points
decidedly to creation.


Really? If that is true and you are not just making it up, please name
one, just one, prominent scientist whose research points to "creation
science" as the *only* possible explanation.

Even Einstein who at one point earlier in his life is said to have
espoused an atheistic point of view, later is also said to have
believed that he mathematically proved the existence of God.


Irrelevant to "creation science", even if you were correctly
representing Einstein.

Also I would like to point out that those who have dedicated them
selves to various sciences have throughout history have sometimes
missed the obvious.


Irrelevant. And even if it wasn't it is not evidence for "creation
science" any more than it is evidence for the existence of a species of
pink Welsh unicorns.

By the way this is a message about science in general, which includes
astromomy, please have the sense not to tell me how awful I Iam to post
about this. If you must, then also remove from your links all the
family pictures, and the standing in front of buildings, and such, as
that is "off topic" as well.


You should remember take two of the pink pills and one of the big green
ones three times a day before food.

Enough of this! It feels almost cruel for me to be engaging in a battle
of wits with someone who has only half the necessary armament.
