<Well everything you say is just silly and laughable and dismissed as well, so where does that get us?>

That's for readers to decide, clearly I disagree.

<If your not a Creationist: then what are you?>

As in our other discussions, you need to define before you label. I certainly believe in god, do you want to get into defining "god" and what "god" is like?

<Just try expressing any doubt about Darwinian evolution and mention the possibility of a Supernatural personal source for the universe in a scientific venue and see how long you remain so glib.>

First of all, the term "Darwinism" isn't defined and could be the subject of entire papers and books (probably is), so I dont' understand what you mean by that. Further, as I said, science doesn't discuss god. Science is VERY limited... the thought that it is limited to what can be measured pops into my head, but that's probably too simplistic. So God is beyond the realm of science at this point in time as far as I know. I wouldn't be surprising that eyebrows would go up and eyeballs roll when someone started to discuss god in a scientific forum other than one specifically set up to discuss such, where there ARE if you're interested. IN fact there are ooodles of scientific types, PhD's and all crawling all over spiritualism these days... here's a more mainstream one at U of A:

consciousness.arizona.edu

The other predominent poster on the board and I discussed this and he and I posted other links to interesting websites.

Second of all, I'm not being glib... you seem to have this "us vs them" attitude that I don't understand. I dont think things get done that way.

<perhaps it might be a good idea to read what it says about demon-izing those whom you disagree with by calling them names instead of making rational arguments.>

Good point... although as far as I know I didn't call anyone here the (from now one banned term) "wacko creationist", only described what they tend to do and act like, etc. From now on I'll use the term ignorant, which actually isn't perjorative, but descriptive... ie. unaware or uninformed when I see that trait.
