::::Hmm.  I thought I had been clearer.  I am willing to accept that evolution might be true, false, or true in some regards and false in other regards.  (Which of these possibilities are you open to?)  I want to know what the best arguments on both sides are.  I saw problems with some of the arguments here, so I pointed those problems out.

::::I'm therefore sorry to see that you continue to be unresponsive.  You claim that my objections are "plainly deficient," but you don't explain why.  It's noteworthy, I think, that I provided evidence to support my claims, but you seem unwilling or unable to support yours.  I'm also not sure why it's relevant that I only criticized six out of 40 examples (is there a minimum number I should criticize to qualify for serious debate?  As I said in my original comment, I will criticize more when I have time to do the proper research).  Finally, I'm a bit puzzled by your approach to this topic.  I find it peculiar for someone to show up and post a comment only to declare (repeatedly) that he thinks it's best that he spend his time elsewhere.  Why not just spend your time elsewhere?  [[User:JasonS|JasonS]] 10:47, 9 October 2009 (EDT)

I'm not sure why someone would bother commenting when they're only going to declare that they're not interested

::::As before, perhaps there is someone else who can discuss these issues on a more substantive level.  Just to be clear what I mean by that, let me give the example I give to my students.  A substantive discussion involves more than mere rhetoric; it involves the presentation of facts and evidence (supported by reliable sources) and the discussion of the logical consequences of those facts and that evidence.  Anything else is not terribly useful, at least in science.  [[User:JasonS|JasonS]] 10:47, 9 October 2009 (EDT)

 

I'm also not sure why you would spend the time to make a comment declaring that you weren't willing to discuss the issue.  If you're not interested in debating this issue, then I must agree that your time is better spent elsewhere.
