What is a "Kind"?

[AV1611VET]

It's one thing to believe in something at the cost of acknowledging reality, but to not even concede to reality for the sake of argument, so you can understand what your opposition is actually saying, leaves one wondering why you insist on holding posting in a science-oriented sub-forum.

After all, there are threads like "Let's suppose there is a God" and "Let's suppose evolution isn't true". The least you can do is return the favor like a grown adult or simply leave.

I mean, if you come to a science-oriented sub-forum just to iterate your beliefs, knowing you don't plan on learning anything whatsoever or maintaining a coherent discussion, then what separates you from a troll other than your post count?

I mean, what else is the point in repeatedly mentioning thalidomide, Pluto, and the Challenger when these are things that have been explained to you countless times?

Maybe instead of just ignoring what "science says", you could try understanding what "science says" before telling it to take a hike.

I like to be ridiculed, laughed at, and falsely accused by Internet scientists.

I think what you may like more is crying persecution, since many of us have let our fuses burn for much longer than most normal people before actually "ridiculing" you.

Again, try understanding what "science says" before telling it to take a hike. After all, you make much better arguments when you understand our opposition's perspective as well as your own.

Let me repeat this ad nauseum: I spend more time correcting you guys, than you guys spend time correcting me.

I've had Internet scientists refuse to change their stance, even when I defend a point with dispensation theology.

And until I see you step in on my behalf with [what I think is] your fake disgust at someone who calls me anything but what's in my profile, then I'll even think about respecting your point.

You sit there and watch others call me 'Omphalos' and don't say a word, then you call me out on not understanding you guys and expect me to respect it?

Forget it.

Is that your definition of 'faith'?

It's my definition of what you guys do -- any relation to "faith" is purely coincidental.

Is that a summary of your testimony, prior to leaving your church?

One's as good as another for leaving the church.

No argument there!

 

[Nathan Poe]

Nope, just an accurate summary of your actions on this board.

Just curious.... are you joking?

Just curious... were you expecting an answer from that person?

 

[theFijian]

i guess you feel obligated to be rude?

I guess you feel obligated to be oversensitive?

 

[Tomatoman]

Let me repeat this ad nauseum: I spend more time correcting you guys, than you guys spend time correcting me.

No, you spend time making pedantic semantic points to try and change the subject. This is because you are always being torn to shreds and humiliated, and avoidance tactics and changing the subject are all you have.

I've had Internet scientists refuse to change their stance, even when I defend a point with dispensation theology.

Nobody gives a flying rat's tail about dispensation theology. It comes under the heading of 'irrelevant made-up stuff'.

And until I see you step in on my behalf with [what I think is] your fake disgust at someone who calls me anything but what's in my profile, then I'll even think about respecting your point.

People judge you on the content of your posts. If your posts are inane whining drivel that's your fault.

You sit there and watch others call me 'Omphalos' and don't say a word, then you call me out on not understanding you guys and expect me to respect it?

Stop whining.

Forget it.

Forget what?

A 'Kind' is a 'get out' word that describes as many animals as possible that can be cobbled together into one 'Kind' so that as few animals as possible needed to be taken into the 'Ark',
done properly a 'Kind' can include anything that might give Creationists problems, because dogs and cats have the same number of legs they can be put into the same 'Kind', all tree dwelling animals like apes, monkeys, Sloths and Lemar's into another, anything that flies into another, animals that eat grass and so on, that way they could end up with less than a dozen pairs which not only makes the 'Ark' possible but true, even I could look after that many in my garden shed, job done.

What's the problem then?

i dunno, some reason not to?

 

[Hespera]

So was there a reason for it, or do you have a problem taking responsibility for what you say.

I have no problem taking full responsibility for what I say. However I'll take no responsibility for other peoples over sensitivity.

We are guessing if you ever had friends they are now "overly sensitive" ex friends.

Nothing -- unless a person deals in reality, and is not content with pseudoclever word games.

I wanted to say that........

Well, the fact that they haven't had any activity on the forum in 6 years might be considered "some reason". YMMV.
