*shudder* I find myself wising this guy at least comes up with something *tangible* for a change. Tangible, as in, something that is not just vague word-pounding, empty Jesus tomb and whatnot. Or the (in)famous "unexplainable complexity of a human eye".

(To be continued...)

You mean there's even more?! I shiver in dread.

It's a big site.

*whimper*

Btw, *Gasp* You mean to say a scientist came up with a hypothesis and went out to find evidence to support it? What is this world coming to?

- Watch it there. An enterprising creationist will have his hook in this one sooner than you can say "Shit!" and easily read it as: "Ah-Hah! So even you admit it! Scientists come up with a god-defying theory and then go all over themselves to find the evidence to fit in with their blasphemous idea!"

I am in awe of the amount of time and effort you have put into your website.
...you are clearly a self-promoter of the highest order...

Look who's talking...

I would invite you and your readers to visit my "Geoscience and Jesus - The Case for Co-habitation" website - This must be at least the tenth time you're self-promoting your website, first on endcreationism and now here as well. So much for self-promotion.

one of the more ridiculous things that nodding-folk and I have argued over was the absence of an apostrophe

Well, since you're so clearly dodging answering the real questions to which you still haven't offered any tangible answers... No wonder. Just like you're doing now. Yes, we read your website. And "gag" and "eyeroll" are the mildest reactions to the amount of unsupported claims you placed there. You still haven't offered any evidence at all to any of your claims. Provide some, please... but lay off Jesus' tomb, will ya?

Nodding_folk, sorry for taking up all this space here, but I -had to- say this.

I don't mind, feel free to comment as much as you want. Also, Geosus' hypocrisy in calling someone else a "self-promoter" did indeed have to be pointed out.

You wrote a long letter to the guy who wrote a review of a book you "dared" me to read, a letter in which you, instead of discussing any of his actual arguments, go on to suggest he's a bum for having time to put into a website, call him a fool in a roundabout way, promote your website and call him a "self-promoter of the highest order". Then, instead a reply to my criticism of your site, you post this letter. That is just astonishing ( ... )

A really minor point here:

"This was the point on which Darwin and many others disagreed with the established Church of their time and, having decided this to be the case, they set about “proving” this to be true, by finding observable “evidence” to back up their theories."

*Gasp* You mean to say a scientist came up with a hypothesis and went out to find evidence to support it? What is this world coming to?

Darwin actually went to on his 5 year voyage as a creationist. He finished the voyage as a creationist. It wasn't until some time after that, when talking to an ornithologist who pointed out some of the innaccuracies in his identification of species, that he began to piece his theory together.

So almost everything geosus wrote is rubbish of the highest, highest order.

So says Michael Shermer in an interview, and he wrote a book about Darwin:
