Re: is this a one-way street?
After awhile, I do get to repeating the same data, but keep in mind Haeckel is not a vile accusation but a historical fact on how evolution has been presented. It was not creationists that created the hoax, the false claims, and spread them and refused for so many years to adjust, and even today some evos here still defend the deceptive practices.
You list things done by some religious groups, such as Catholic priests molesting kids I presume, but you fail to distinquish, that unlike you evos, plenty of Christians decried the whole concept of RC priesthood and all of it's abuses for a very, very long time whereas you evos for the most part kept on teaching the hoaxes as true until it was no longer tenable since creationists had access to the internet and just hammered away at it, and some evos finally had to do a study to back up their claims and found those claims to be hoaxes.
It took 125 years...think about that...and you call that science?

Re: The good old days
Faith, I suspect he said the same things about the creationists here before and treated them with the same rudeness and disrespect and then is shocked how anyone could dare think he unreasonable!

Re: is this a one-way street?
nwr, you guys really don't get it. Sure, I started to treat you guys with a similar level of civility, but at least I back up my claims with facts. If I say you guys resort to overstatements and hoaxes, I list some examples. You guys just make baseless charges that your critics are unreasonable, ignorant, etc,....with no substantiation whatsoever.

Re: is this a one-way street?
Just think, if you have convinced even ONE young person to take a closer look at reality and question their beliefs you have done a great service to society.
What evangelical zeal on display!
Sorry about that, but come on. That really sounds a whole lot like some preachers that talk about the meeting being worth it if "there is just one."

ADMIN WARNING FOR ALL
The next time Haeckel is mentioned in a thread not devoted to him the poster will get a 24 hour suspension.
This topic continues to come up ad infinitum. It is not relevant to the majority of threads on this board so why does it get mentioned in so many? (rhetorical question...DO NOT ANSWER)
I am not opposed to ONE thread on Haeckel, but if it gets mentioned elsewhere again you have been warned.
One last muse, this discussion is in the announcement forum, not a debate forum. Closing it down in a few minutes.
