I have repeatedly responded to that question and you folks claim that you can't see it.

There are 87 characters in that post.

Instead of dodge number-i-lost-count, you could have just typed "yes" 29 times or "no" 43.5 times and it would have taken the exact amount of energy. Less even, if you used copy-paste.

Just saying.

A yes or a no doesn't describe your modus operandi.

But it would answer my question.

So, is it your position that the flagellum could not have evolved?

6th time I ask, and I'm not even counting the many times Loudmouth asked the same question. A simple yes or no, will do just fine.

And I keep repeating that I am not arguing against theistic evolution but to no avail.
Now of course you will ask what I consider theistic evolution. Something that I previously explained several times before as well but to no avail.

Maybe you just aren't explaining yourself very well? I certainly don't know what you believe, we get the headline.... An intelligent designer is at work.... but the main body of the story is missing.

If you won't answer a simple question like "is it your position that the flagellum could not have evolved?" what conclusions can we draw from that?

A) You don't know - which would be fair enough, most of us aren't expert biologists.
B) You're reluctant to give an honest answer because it might expose flaws in your beliefs

I already gave details to my answers, received criticisms and responded to them in detail, but I still keep getting demands for a repeat. I am not a machine. I did not post this thread to be constantly goaded and have to repeatedly explain myself!

Could you provide a post number you responded to questions with specific details? If you dont provide, it will be telling.

Then why do you have a link in your signature that argues against theistic evolution? Why do you cite an argument based on the premise that the bacterial flagellum can not come about through theistic evolution?

I did not provide those links for the purpose that you are indicating.

Then what are they there for?
You are wandering away from my direct links into other areas on those websites. My direct links are to pages that support what I believe and which were under discussion when I posted them.
Since it was suggested that I provide lnks I provided them. Now it's nitpicking with the links.
