I mean even if he believed I creationism he surely doesn't believe that one or two posts are going to make someone say "by gum, he's right".I've wondered a lot about this behavior. They don't actually listen to answers or converse rationally when they do stick around, either.
I wonder if the need to post such crap here has nothing to do with us. Maybe people like MS feel cracks in their belief, so they feel the need to shore it up by presenting the case ad nauseum, and then they feel better just seeing it all laid out in black and white in the enemy's camp?
I would say not. I don't think it's a sign of anything unusual. Some people engage hostile viewpoints, some people do not. Some do it intelligently, some do not. It's easy to speculate when we believe we are so clearly in the right, but what would we feel if others were to speculate about us, likewise?
