You are great! Father Barron.

@GordonSou Nice! I didn't think of that. Too funny!

[GordonSou]

@grunderlyme Good one! That's a classic - the sort of tag you can carry to your grave if your family and friends learn of it!

[GordonSou]

@GordonSou (2) surely advance and enhance Fr Barron's objectives on these forums.

Be assured that you don't come across as pedantic and I'm sorry if I gave that impression. I hope the sort of dialogue you are engaging here will encourage others to participate in this vein. Truly a breath of fresh air - fumigation even - after the stifling spirtually and intellectually toxic smoke of the recent past. It is certainly

putting an edge on my understanding on the issues.

@grunderlyme I appreciated your clarification and agree entirely with the need for tight argument, especially in a public forum, for the reasons you give. I don't consider your rigorous approach at all pedantic. Although I am not a professional philosopher I recognize in the rigour of your logic a commendable esteem for reason and truth.

@Judas130 [next]...what evolutionary theory cannot explain is why molecules in the earliest primordial soup started replicating in the 1st place. It's a huge mystery, and appears to be some "brute fact" about the universe. (Even Dawkins explicitly acknowledges this "unknown" on page 15 in Chaper 2, "On Replicators," of his book, The Selfish Gene.) But is it brute? I have to ask, why did these molecules start replicating? So RM and NS does not sufficiently explain why we are here

@Judas130 "Thank you for your time."

--No worries. Thank you for the intelligent dialogue.  It's refreshing and delightful.

[grunderlyme]

@Judas130 I hear you :) We may not always see eye-to-eye, but at least we can respect eachother like brothers with inquiring minds. We can find more answers to questions working together than working alone. We help eachother understand. I have an atheist friend at school with whom I disagree about much. We will spend hours at a chalk-board logically quantifying stuff, re-hashing things we read, trying to help eachother articulate our thoughts...then have a beer later. Good times

@GordonSou I just realized how funny this sounds: "I understood Judas was being sincere." One of the 12, that is....Ha!
