It's a lot better than, "It happened because the bible said it happened.  The Bible is the word of god, because the Bible says it is!"

Absolutely!

Randy is a good guy and he definitely knows his stuff!

A PhD in bullshit is still only knowing bullshit.

And frankly, I doubt he's a good guy, myself.

I give Randy credit for persistence. As Pa Thump used to say, "Boy, you need to be too stupid to quit."

Notice how he didn't answer the reply.

This is why using "ignore" is for pussies and charlatans.

As Frank Herbert wrote in Dune, "Those who see only what they wish are doomed to rot in the stink of their own perceptions."

Randy has chosen that route.

Can't remember who it was who told Luther, "You have chosen a hard road, Little Monk."

Parkers Tan, you know I love ya, but I can't blame Randy for ignoring ad hominem posts. He's here to have a discussion with people who genuinely want to discuss these issues.  Shy
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

No he wants to preach at people.

Purely supposition and opinion. No evidence, not a fact one.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
