Of course it doesn't.  If I had a dollar for every time you cried strawman...  Do you ever wonder how it is you manage to be misrepresented so much around here?  How about this: correct me.  Plainly state your position and we can go from there.  And spoiler alert, if all you're going to do is equivocate scientific evidence with testimony, we can just stop here.  I'm even tempted to insert Cyberman's little algorithm here.

Quote:I mean, if we just said, 'God did evolution with his inexplicable god-powers,' instead of, ya know, learning about it via evidence and observation, would that make it more palatable to you?  Because, that seems to be a perfectly satisfactory explaination for all your other beliefs.

I did correct you.... "that doesn't represent my position"  I said.  If you require more detail then I state specifically that  I don't think that I need to see every step personally.  I don't even think that testimonial evidence of others needs to be of every detail.   However when it is mostly "just so" stories, then I stop to question.   And I only pointed out that it seems to be your position to be able to automatically reject testimony because you seem to be concerned with hypocrisy  (some of the claims that go under evolution certainly are not mundane).

lol, that's exactly my point, RR.  Thank you for confirming my suspicions.

My suspicion is that what I said above, doesn't match your suspicions.  Which I think goes well to your previous question of why I may be misunderstood so much.   My guess is lack of listening and reasoning skills,  that there is an issue here, where people don't really discuss, but it's more about sophism and preconceived prejudices.  There is far too much how can I twist what you said, to suit my argument, and ignore the rest.
