But you seem familiar so perhaps that's not necessary.

I'm just an old man, 87, with pretty solid views, I think!

Well, congrats on not dying, I suppose.

What does that have to do with not introducing yourself before posting a wall o' text?

If you are, in fact, 87 years old you would have been taught some social graces.

The christian entitlement part thinks it's just fine.

Wow! Touchy! I screwed up, beat me! My familiarity with online courtesies may be somewhat lacking, but I'm not too old to learn. Must I humbly beg for a degree of forgiveness?

I agree wholeheartedly! I believe in a Creator that used scientific principles to create the existence we observe.

Yes, I did. I stand by what I wrote. You gave no reasons for believing any of it. Let's start with the claim that both sides are equally arguable. You gave no reason but common sense. As any primer on the fallacy of appeal to common sense will tell you, if there is reason to doubt that something is indeed common sense, as the case here, you need to support your claim of it being either common sense or true. You did neither and just ipse dixit declared it to be so. Your proposition is no more soundly argued than that of the moron who says that such and so is "obviously" true. It's typically a sign that the person lacks even rudimentary justification for their position.

Just as an aside, are you by any chance a conservative?

Well thank you for reading it. I always love interactions with Atheists. You always react in such responsive tones. I'm going to post my premise where you atheists can argue with an AI analysis where science and spirituality appear homogenous. Unfortunately, it has to be a little long. I believe I don't have to defend it's premise as both AI and I agree on it's reasoning. I think even you atheists will find it challenging.
