Trust me, these people aren't that smart.

nope, nothing

they must have figured by now that any good comment on their site was sarcastic (from the e-mails they'd have gotten after replying to those mails)

I was particularly taken with this paragraph:
Quote:
Regarding brother Kubans' reference to his web site, I must say, since he is a professional computer programmer, he has laid it out very well and I commend him for that. He is also a prolific writer and it is obvious to me that GOD has given him these gifts.

As for the content of his web site, I found it to be mostly filled with "un-substantiated hyperbole."
Now before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, I'm not saying that using hyperbole is a bad thing at all. I use it here myself. What I am saying is, that when it is used in a debate format like this, it is imperative that you "show" the reader or audience "all the empirical evidence" you investigated to reach the conclusions that you have come to believe are true. After doing that, the subject of your address can decide for themselves whether you made your case or not.
I cannot remember ever having gotten my panties in a bunch. That's probably a chromosomal deficiency, though, me having just one X. It's all in the jeans, right?

Well, at least it's good if you need an example of how many anti-evolutionists that try to appear honest are really just Creationists in disguise (refering to the front page).
