If you think the two postulates are the same, except for the imposition of gradual change, then please prove your argument so that everyone can follow your reasoning.

Worshipers of the supernatural keep making a mess in their pants because of their complete and total inability to separate fantasy from reality. I don't "think" that empty space is empty. It IS empty space until someone provides a scientific proof that it is NOT empty space. Prior to...

Great idea. This is what we know, and I would be in favor of telling public school children the following: 1. Verifiable scientific experiments have demonstrated that random mutation and natural selection can cause DNA in living organisms to change over long periods of time, and these...

Do you have a sample of his work that we can hear? Actually, I should ask the author. Hey, JohnnyK, can you post/send an audio file of your solo guitar work?

Of course. My position is laughable because I can't find a shred of logic in your arguments, while your position is a fountain of sanity, because you seek to subject public school students to an inquiry into how the tooth fairy makes news species appear out of a puff of smoke.

There really should be an ET hall of fame for those moments of pure brilliance that occasionaly surface here. I don't usually look behind the scene for motivation -- I'm just trained to move the chess pieces in a manner that keeps my opponent in check until either his credibility is...

Not a shred of either logic or fact in your post. Your position is simply that you believe in magic and fairy tales. When you come up with a fact based argument, let us all in on it, ok?

God forbid you would provide any specifics -- someone might actually demonstrate that you don't know what you're talking about. And, there isn't a shred of evidence other than your personal opinion that the probability of design is greater than evolution. If there were, I'm sure you...

You raised defamation as a topic, when you suggested that I had made defamatory remarks about you, so if I'm off topic, it's only because I was following your lead. As for my being not much of an attorney, well, better to be a lousy attorney than a... ...what is it again that you do during...

Your post raises no new issues on the topic, but I disagree with the premise that I am off topic, in that it is obvious to any reasonable person that you have made yourself and your opinions the topic of the thread, since you refuse to support those opinions them with anything other than the...

The topic was ID; you proposed an hypothesis as to why ID should be taught based on the proposition that most people think ID is a reasonable explanation of life; I responded that most people used to think the Earth was flat, and that no unfalsified theory of ID currently exists, and therefore...

I guess you couldn't restrain yourself from responding, even though you don't value my opinion. What an interesting thing to respond to an opinion that you find without value. Evidently, my opinion does have some value, otherwise you wouldn't have any need to respond. As for your opinion that...

Your theory was falsified immediately above. There is no reason for me to repeat the analysis here. You can say that something is true, when it is already proven false, but just as with the Earth being flat, the facts prove you incorrect, and anyone with an open mind who reads our conversation...

Ah, you added to your post, so I will respond to your additions. I agree, a reasonable ID theory should be available. Unfortunately, there is no reasonable ID theory, as every one has been falsified. So, there being no reasonable ID theory to present in a science curriculum, then based...

Yes, you've recently stated in this thread that you don't value the opinions of others. Seems to me that your position in this regard is the equivalent of cutting yourself off entirely from the possibility of ever learning anything new. You have my condolences. Perhaps you will value this...

The fact that 100 or 1,000,000 people think something is reasonable doesn't make it true. And, we've covered this same argument in this thread. There was a time when everyone on the planet believed that the Earth was flat, and would have thought it unreasonable to believe otherwise. So, if you...

We've already covered this. It is only your OPINION that it is "reasonable to think that there would have been an alteration in the pattern of birth, regular lifespan, and then death." You present no facts to support this hypothesis other than personal observation without verification. And...

No one can help you. Z does not admit the possibility of error in this forum, nor does he ever concede to the position of anyone else, even if that position reasonably reflects Z's own. The ultimate object of Z's activities on ET appears to be aimed at merely stimulating traffic to the...

Others here seem to find my combination of opinion and supporting facts a refreshing diversion from the run of the mill conclusory bombast that permeates ET. They even thank me occasionally for my contribution(s). That you aren't among them doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Ad Hominem. Try making your case instead. It's much more satisfying.
