No, you are quite wrong. I for one don't like it when you say:

1. You hold science to a higher standard (yet we are the ones who know science and who work as scientists)

2. "Evidence can take a hike"

3. If it disagrees with the KJV it's wrong.

Now, if what you "are" is incapable of not pontificating on things you don't know, then I guess I'd say I don't like what you are.

But considering most of my friends are Christians and I have a good friend who is a born-again Creationist, I'd have to say you are, as usual, talking about things you don't know to people who do know.

If you go back over my posts, you'll see that 99% of the time, I agree with you guys; but that 1% makes me (us) a target of ridicule.
Yes, make sure everyone looks at the ones where you said :

LOL! You twist it when ever you feel like it.

Another example of how 99% of statistics are made up on the spot. Tell us then why you are always arguing with us, and claiming that we should be humiliated for teaching evolution?

yeah.... um ok.

And I wrote Genesis and you cant disprove that. As shown here. And I say you are wrong and you only eat yourself for breakfast. Yum, I bet it tastes like Sin.

yes you do, you twist science and reason oh and its impossible to be a 100% literalist, you just rationalize away anything the bible is wrong on.

1. you don't even know
2. you have by refusing to admit that people can be wrong 2000 years ago

you "agree" with an idea that is sort of like what science says, but is very distorted by your lack of education on science. you fail to see how illogical your ideas are and absurd they are.
even if you agree that if theres no evidence for miracles, believing they still happened despite this makes no logical sense to most people
you get ridicule because you hold an impossible and indefensible view point that no one else holds, what do you expect?

Then don't ask --- that was in response to a direct question.

It isn't at all apparent to me that anybody here doesn't like you. I certainly have no dislike for you at all. However, many people (myself included) do disagree with you. Please don't confuse the two.

Bold emphasis on the metaphor is mine.

Then as a die-hard literalist, you should choose your own words more wisely, else someone might accuse you of cannibalism.

Don't kid yourself, AVVET, you're no literalist, you're meteroric with your metaphors, and so is Genesis (that's where you probably learned the habit...)
