diotic remarks? Are you referring to the dishonest terms used (e.g., Darwinism, evolutionism)? Or perhaps you speak of the constant misuse of terminology (e.g., "evolution is just a theory", "macroevolution has never been observed)? Or maybe the deliberate obfuscation we see (e.g., "no one has ever seen a new kind evolve...why no, I won't define kind")? No wait, I've got it! You're talking about the litany of PRATTs we encounter. Yes, there certainly are a lot of idiotic remarks here.
Because you make up 95% of the forum.Oh don't you dare. If any group here should be demanding their own private hideaway to escape "idiotic" remarks, it should be the evolutionists. We get far more ignorance and outright lunacy from the other side than you do, but we don't care.
Actually, I was sort of referring to your kind of posts.
Thank you! Now was that so hard?
(Man --- it's like pulling teeth around here!)
She comited the hasty generalization fallacy, as is common around here. It would probably be healthy for me to refrain from posting here for a while, but I never actually leave.
I see you were unable to substantively respond. You might find that unfortunate, but it's hardly my fault. Furthermore, I find it rather ironic that you should accuse me of 'idiocy' when I supported my point and you have nothing but empty accusations.Actually, I was sort of referring to your kind of posts.
I take it you're not going to take my Perfect Car Challenge?
In any case, Dannager has an excellent point (to which you are apparently unable to respond, RichardT). Evolutionists put up with a thousand times as much idiocy, a thousand times as much willful ignorance, a thousand times as much dishonesty, and a thousand times as much rudeness from creationists as the other way around. If creationists really cared at all about rudeness, they'd go after the prime offenders, their fellow creationists.
Why do I have to take your challenge? I was merely responding to your attaching caveats to the word "Perfect".
The other poster is correct in that a perfect car cannot be wrecked since cars are designed, in part, to be wreck-resistant. ERGO, since perfection leaves no option for part, but is perfection in all aspects of the item under investigation, you must acquiesce that a perfect car cannot be wrecked.
Unless you wish to redefine "car" as well as "perfect".
I don't need to redefine anything. If "perfect" gives you so much trouble, then just exclude it from the challenge and say I made a car and gave it to you and you wrecked it
Gosh, you seem to have chopped off some of that paragraph. Let me repeat that critical sentence:If a fellow Creationist makes a mistake, I would love to correct him, but not so much in this sort of forum, because he is already degraded and insulted for it by some evolutionists, I'd like to correct him in love, not hate.
In other words, you complain about the degradation and insults that creationists supposedly suffer, but what you're really complaining about is that evolutionists have the awful temerity to disagree with creationists and criticize their position and disprove their arguments. If you were being truthful here, you would have "corrected" AV1611VET in this very thread. Or you would have "corrected" any of the posters in the Creationist Forum. Heck, if nothing else, you would at least have had the integrity to discuss the corrections instead of spinning them as being nothing more than "hate" and "insults". Yet somehow, none of these things have happened.Furthermore, the remarks that they denounce as "rude" are usually entirely accurate and within reason, just critical of the creationist position.
So did you find a flaw in my original response to you? Or do you accept that the vast majority of the idiocy (your term, not mine) is from the creationists? How appropriate do you believe it was to make the accusations you did in light of this? Why did you not directly respond--why the baseless insults?I find it rather ironic that you should accuse me of 'idiocy' when I supported my point and you have nothing but empty accusations.
10 minutes and no reply? And who's afraid to debate???
I was in the shower, AV1611VET. Some of us have things to do.
Thanks --- that's a little more info than I cared to know.

Even funnier - your obsessive remark about 10 minutes passing and no reply.(Come on, people! I'm in a hurry! Stay on the computer and in this thread! Feeeeeed meeeeee!!)
hasty generalization fallacy
I don't need to redefine anything. If "perfect" gives you so much trouble, then just exclude it from the challenge and say I made a car and gave it to you and you wrecked it. Just like my Apple Challenge, if an apple is giving you guys so much trouble [for pity's sake], then use something else. God said His creation was "very good," and that's good enough for me to deem it "perfect" - (or, better yet, pluperfect).
so you would rather completely throw out the word "perfect" then properly define it? hmmm i wonder why that is? You know that if you used the same type of "perfect" for your car challenge that you do for gods creation, that you wouldn't even be able to answer your own challenge.
Well probably the best way I could put forth a challenge, is to use the actual wording of Genesis 1, and make a challenge for improvement.
Something like this:
But then you open yourself up to the stupid answers, like:
- I build a car that is "very good." What would you do to make it perfect?
And you'd have to waste a lot of time waiting for an honest answer to come along.
- I'd put a bar in it.
- I'd put a billion dollars in the glove compartment.
And that's not even counting the questions that I'd probably get, like:
That sort of junk.
- Is it my color?
- Does it have racing stripes?
- Does it go 0 - 60 in 2 seconds?
