He actually links this site on his page. It's the first link under Skeptics.

Luvluv, just thought I would check in and say thanks for the past discussions, and keep up the good work.
I'll be busy for awhile so I may not see you around. I hope you don't forever hold the MLK debate against me. He was a great man. I probably shouldn't have gotten in the middle of that thread.
To anyone else, don't bother. I won't be reading your comments. Actually, Crossbow had brought up an interesting question I normally would have responded to, but the hostility and lack of civility here from day one is not something I will subject myself to.
Oh, and luvluv, Hugh Ross has a lot to say. Some just want to place the idea of a Designer off the table by definition of what is acceptable thought, and I don't think that is real science to state that we can't even consider an idea in the equation, even if the idea is true.

Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. Proverbs 26:5.

And try not to end a sentence with a preposition.

In all humor, there is some truth.

Keep tryin' rand. Someday you might be able to make a sentence with three clauses in which all three form a harmonious logical whole.

randman: How would YOU respond to someone that repeatedly said that the Earth was flat, regurgitating the same old stuff over and over and doing anything to avoid responding to your arguments or back up his assertions?

My only hope (or prayer

) is that you actually learned something from this experience. But it's extremely doubtful. Once a troll, always a troll.

This is an error up with which I will not put!
