Tiger: I was referring to the RR thread. I'm aware. My post wasn't directed at you, I was just latching onto your comment about consensus. I apologize for being ambiguous.

Vene's RR post - Good read. (some) of the questions i thought were pretty good and your explanation and examples were excellent . now i know some answers to even more questions of evolution. Of course there were questions that had nothing to do with evolution. those were a bit annoying.... As for arrogance? i dont know. you didnt come off as arrogant, maiinly because the point of the topic was a professional in a field answering questions in said field...seems in my experience that people will find the smallest things to get upset about, just to draw attention to them or away from the person. i may have to come to you to answer some straight up questions sometime

I, on the other hand, don't think any of the questions were good. Even the "honest" ones were later revealed to be just rehearsed snark.

I just read the whole thing...I've been struggling with how to make my dad understand the "string of adaptations over time = new species", but I think I've figured it out now. The Rapturites might be buttheads, but thank you, Vene and Nickerson (m52? just 52? Nicky?) for posting this and letting me see another way of explaining it.

That's the way it goes Fundie uses quote mine Person shows whole quote that makes the quote mine change meaning in context Fundie points and asks if you think it's true person agrees Fundie declares victory you agreed with his quote mine

Lithp - this is a derail, but did you change your avatar? I just see a blank space.

Tiger: Nope. It did that to me a while back, too.

Even the "honest" ones were later revealed to be just rehearsed snark. either way, i didnt know the answer to some questions, vene answered, and i learned. everytime i learn something relevant, i consider it a "good" question. perhaps i should change it to "good answers" ?

That's kinda how I look at it. Stupid questions*, good answers. Wait, I'm sorry, there's no such thing as stupid questions, just stupid people.[/Mr. Garrison]
