Sure I made the first bite, but Ian-lion is putting the poor thing out of its misery and teaching me how to do it right the next time.<BR/><BR/>Thats what a mentor does, Behe.

It evolves as needed to keep up with the advance of knowledge and the method is separate from the results produced. <BR/><BR/>Faith is not a method, it's a given on which the rest of the argument stands or falls. Destroying the individual arguments of faith-produced theories calls into question the vehicle that produced the arguments in the first place. Once you can show that the given is in doubt, the whole argument crumbles away.<BR/><BR/>The real error is just that you're attempting to engage them in a debate for which they are uneducated and ill prepared to take part. Before attempting to engage the spiritually pure, first attempt to ensure that both sides can establish some sort of ground rules for the argument.<BR/><BR/>Without that concession, all you're doing is feeding the trolls and making them stronger. <BR/><BR/>Still, keep up the good work. The internet allows access to certain knowledge that there are other ways, other voices, and other people in the big wide world. So long as the net allows reasonable access to knowledge, you are succeeding in turning the tide of ignorance simply by maintaining a presence here. Behe's kids, if any, have a chance to escape the rigid dogmatism found in faith-based households. Not a certainty, but at least a chance.<BR/><BR/>And you cannot force someone to think, no matter how hard you try.<BR/><BR/>But you do get points for trying.Adam Paciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16525317036773513629noreply@blogger.com
