Richard Dawkins is always so civilized and so determined to remain rational in the face of the irrational. His patience is extraordinary.

Whups, I just found out you're one of those Bible-thumping, Book-of-Revelation swallowers.

Nice attempt at cloaking yourself with reasonable argument and 'public debate', but you're in David Rives' fundamentalist Christian, anti-intellectual, anti-human camp.

So you lied. Way to go.

@revlooshin: "I believe in creation, naturally,... convinced that life and the universe are products of design from a higher mind"

Bro, you subscribe to creationist dogma. Don't evade--it's silly.

[MadHighway]

@revlooshin

Again, you're reasserting Creationism and Genesis using different words, reinforcing obsolete anthropocentric dogma. Aristarchus, Copernicus, and Kepler would shake their heads ruefully at you.

Once more, we all wanna know: what's your theory of how all those fossils got into the ground? Because it seems like you would rather they just not be mentioned.

@revlooshin

See? I predicted that you would employ an elitist superiority to evade argument, and there you go doing it.

Also, you avoided answering a few direct questions with the general evasion of "I'm not gonna go there."

To sum up: you profess to be superior, you believe in creationism (you said that, not I), and you won't tell us how you think all those fossils got in the ground.

You realize "mainstream" science---physics and chemistry--brought about Colecovision, don't you?

[revlooshin]

@MadHighway LOL! You're showing just how conditioned your mind is. You can't relate to what I'm telling you because it goes against everything you've been programmed to believe about the typical believer and his beliefs. So you HAVE to frame the discussion within the context of evolution vs. creationism. That's the ONLY way you can generate an opinion and have something to say. With all due respect, MadHighway, I'm not gonna go there with you. Like I said, to each his own. No hard feelings, bro.

@revlooshin

What's your theory, then, of how all those fossils got into the ground?

[MadHighway]

@revlooshin

No, you're just stating Creationism and Genesis using different words. Whether aliens or God, you're reinforcing obsolete anthropocentric dogma straight from the Dark Ages.
