This thread has become a bit of a beat up the Atheists thread. It's frustrating to try and explain reasonably one's point only to be accused of dogma. The difference was clearly shown in the last video I posted, yet you fell into the trap of bad thinking right away, richmondesi.
First, my comment was a general comment, X-Man. It had absolutely nothing to do with your video's contents. It had every bit to do with the fact that you posted it and other information in an attempt to proselytize others to your way of thinking. I've not fallen into any trap, and I'm not the one suffering from "bad thinking". You and I have a fundamental disagreement from which we will never reconcile (and believe me, I'm OK with that). You're no more open minded than I am, and that's ok. However, you have zero objectivity if you can't look at your behavior throughout this thread as anything less than down right evangelical (and that's OK too, I just ask for you to recognize it). Atheist have substituted science and man for any god (and that's OK I just ask for you to recognize it).

What's frustrating is whenever you try to convince me that science clearly and accurately answers questions from "millions of years" of history so definitively as to render the idea that there is an intelligent design as specious. The scientific community has proven and disproven so much crap over the years to render it far from authoritative. However, they never seem to recognize this.

Guess what, I think your big bang theory every bit as ridiculous as you think my intelligent design theory. I'm sure we are both highly educated people that have studied all sides of the issue (I know am and I have, and I'm sure you are and you have too). In my mind it's equivalent to you looking at a watch recognizing that every part serves a purpose, working in perfect harmony, and assuming that it just happened over the course of a billion years through some incredible coincidence. And you think I believe in an archaic fairytale. THAT'S OK. We both know that we disagree, but at least I'm honest about who and what I am. I'm not attempting to proselytize you or anyone else. Also, I've not gotten personal with you or anyone else until you did.
