"Ok, tell you what. Let's debate evolution vs. intelligent design. I'll take the evolution side, you take ID.

Are you man enough?

Sure, child's play. Your first mistake (childish gambit) is trying to define my position for me. Has anyone ever accused you of creating strawmen before even opening a discussion, if not let me be the first.

I am completely on board with evolutionary science, as is everyone I've met who is educated in America. So, you will have to do better than just claiming conservatives like me who believe in God don't understand or accept evolutionary science.

My position on this topic is simple. I don't consider either of those opposing views to be adequate in explaining critical features of the universe and living things, at least when positioned as one view exclusive of the other. If you do then you are welcome to argue why evolution is adequate in explaining the universe and living things exclusive of intelligent involvement and I will argue why it is not. I am fully confident that I can support my position and don't need your help in defining what that is.

I'll give you first punch. I expect you to continue creating false positions and attributing them to me and I will be impressed if you prove me wrong about that ... but we'll see wont we.

Go for it... "Are you man enough?"

My money is on you wimping out.
