:So there's another good faith argument on my part. Let's see yours. Please do not use rhetoric and hurt feelings to get you out of your duty to analyze and reply to the arguments asserted.-[[User:MichaelS|MichaelS]] 11:01, 2 October 2007 (EDT)

::[[User:MichaelS|MichaelS]], everything you say above is false.
::I have seen ''no'' "scientifically observed facts." All I've seen is a bunch of [[propaganda]] and not a little bit of fraud masquerading as "scientifically observed fact." Hypothetical "algorithms" do not add up to hard evidence that any species arose out of another, much less the long and involved "special descent tree" that is still printed in biology textbooks to this day. No one has ever ''observed'' domestic [[cat]]s "descending" from [[lion]]s or [[tiger]]s, for example.
::Don't talk to me about "unreliable" documents. In the [[Bible]] we have a Document that has been preserved with the best accuracy of any document in history. And corroborating evidence? How about sedimentary rock found at high altitudes? How about the very finding of [[Nineveh]], capital of [[Assyria]], at a time when the general community of [[Archaeology|archaeologists]] denied the very existence of Assyria? And how about this: did you know that [[Jesus Christ]] is the Best-attested Figure in all of recorded history?
::You accept either all of the Bible, or none of it. No compromise is possible.
::The [[Bible]] does indeed say, "Every word written Herein is properly instructive in any application." ({{Bible ref|book=II_Timothy|chap=3|verses=15-17}})
::Good faith? You don't know the meaning of the phrase.
::Now then: I'll readily acknowledge--indeed, avow and boldly declare--that I have not been seeking compromise. But others, including many whom I know and respect, have. In remarking about the futility of compromise with those who insult Divine Intelligence and set God's Word at nothing, I was addressing them, not you. And you have just provided additional evidence, the quality of which I could not hope to obtain.
::So long, then. This has been very educational, instructive, and demonstrative.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 12:44, 2 October 2007 (EDT)
Terry, I wasn't aware that you were trying to come to a compromise, but an glad that we could in the end agree that evolution isn't a random walk. This is already much more than anybody could hope for, and for the rest we probably have to agree to disagree. Peace be upon you. [[User:Order|Order]] 11:37, 2 October 2007 (EDT)
