Better that than the Bible according to St Bastard!

Oh, there's an Eddie I. quote for everything:

Sauron

Because this thread only serves as a distraction, a way to buy himself some time. When he wants to distract the other participants, he starts a new thread with an outrageous topic, and watches everyone run to the new thread.

Calilasseia

... while of course purposely avoiding the threads that have been erected to address the very points he brought into assorted other threads as blind assertions but which for some reason he seems singularly unwilling to address ...

Two I can think of being ...

Where Is The Flood Deposit?

Where Are The Fulfilled And Wonderfully Accurate Biblical Prophesies?

I assume others can add to this little list ...

Sauron

And all the while protesting his innocence:

And don't paint me as a question dodger, please. I have probably spent more time answering more questions on science forums than any other living creationist. The questions I cannot answer, I typically admit up front that I cannot and I set about to find someone who can.

Dave's inability to appreciate how he appears to others is quite striking. A general lack of sensibility must make him hard to deal with on a personal level, but as a creationist, he is invaluable.

Diogenes the Cynic

I'm moving this to ~E~.

That was some powerful prose, Cal. Thank you for posting it.

Hi Dave,

I too live in Missouri. From the looks of your pictures on your blog, I'm guessing you're in the St. Louis area (your kid with the Cardinals cap was a dead giveaway, though I can't explain why a good St. Louis kid could ever in good conscience wear a Cubs cap!). I'm in the Kansas City area. I used to live in St. Louis for a few years (North County in the house, whoop-whoop!), but my wife is a KC girl & wanted to come "home" to raise our kids near their grandparents (I'm a country boy myself, from southern Missouri originally, though like you, I've live abroad for many years).

I belong to the this little humanist group in the KC area. It consists of doctors, lawyers (including a couple of real Constitutional scholars who've schooled me quite a bit in the secular nature of our Constitution; dare to guess how many times "god" is mentioned in the document?), scientists (including one fairly renowned geneticist), and an archaeologist/historian (me). I'd love to invite you to come speak to our group sometime if you're ever in the KC area. We get together at least once a month, sometimes more. We're a polite, harmless bunch and would promise you nothing but wonderful Missouri hospitality (at least 10 notches better than what that troglodyte from Cape Girardeau, Rush Limbaugh, could offer). I'd love to learn from you and to hear you enunciate your views. In turn, we'd love to share with your our collected knowledge & wisdom. We're an extremely open-minded lot, but also quite skeptical. And you know because we're Missourians, well, you'll have to "SHOW ME" (this is the Show-Me State, you know?!?!). So I hope you could bring some proof along the lines of what's found at your blog so our collection of professionals could work with you to arrive at truths.

Also, I note from your blog that you've owned a hydroponic tomato business in the past. My tomatoes suffered badly this year & didn't really give us much. Maybe during your visit you'd share with me a few tricks of the trade. I'd most certainly be exceedingly appreciative of any gardening advice you could offer.

Well, anyway, my offer is sincere. Hope to hear from you.

Your friend,

Tom Paine
