Tell us about the dinosaurs

There was no strawman in what I posted. It directly addressed a portion of your response, as I've outlined ...

No, it directly addressed what you hear "most Christians" arguing every day, which is certainly a straw man because it absolutely is different from what I argue: "Where did I ever suggest anecdotal evidence is scientific? Nowhere. Where did I ever suggest that one's anecdotal evidence should be persuasive for someone else? Again, nowhere. Where did I ever suggest that science does, or even should, rely on anecdotes as evidence of anything? Once again, nowhere."

If you want to address what "most Christians" say to you (or within earshot of you) and ignore what I actually said, go ahead. But don't pretend it has any relevance to me.

You really ought to learn to control your temper, dude.

What temper? The swearing? Good grief, what sort of anal retentive upbringing did you have that swearing is an indication of anger? In the great big world beyond your uptight notions, some people swear for emphasis, or out of frustration, etc., without any temper or anger at all. Seriously. Get out of the basement sometime and see.

So you were saying that the idea of testing for the existence of God is a non-starter? Odd. It appeared to me that you were arguing just the opposite.

Glad it finally sank in for you.

But hey, if you don't believe that one can devise a test to verify the existence of God, then our arguments aren't so far apart after all.

Oh please, dude, our arguments could not possibly get any further apart. Mine are rational, for starters.

No, sir. I submit to you that you dismiss what I post because you can't post a level headed rebuttal.

Your delusional submission is noted.

I suspect that my grasp of the Christian religion is at least as good as anyone else's ...

Yeah? Give us some reason to think that's true by answering your bolded question.

I resent the e-mail that you previously did not answer, along with another a couple of days ago. Is your e-mail working?

Yes, sir—but then so was I (working). I've been quite swamped for the last while. I respond to emails and here when I can. I've since written you back.
