Nice to know that, after ten pages of barely-coherent babble and two banned accounts, this fuckwit is finally ready to play nice. Rolleyes
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

For anyone inclined to think that free speech actually means this, here's a little experiment: Pick any random television network. March into their broadcast building and demand to be put on the air live, to talk about whatever you want, until you're done talking. Time how long it takes you to be forcibly removed from the building.

If it wouldn't work for the broadcaster, why would you think it'd work for a forum?

FSTDT are going to love this guy.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
