I understand how you feel.The moderator guidelines prohibit moderation of threads in which one participates, and since I'm participating in this discussion as Percy I am powerless here, so I only issued a general admonition.In debates, some opponents pose bigger puzzles than others. Peter Borger appears to be a puzzle that evolutionists have not yet deciphered, and he makes decipherment more difficult because some of his very effective debating techniques cause distracting frustrations and require time-consuming replowing of old arguments.If Peter Borger's views are incorrect then nailing this down is going to require more than simply calling him a liar. You're going to have to keep track of which points he's successfully made and which he hasn't. You're going to have to carefully note for him where he hasn't addressed the arguments. You're going to have to explain when his arguments do not make sense. You're going to have to point out when he has made unsupported assertions. And you're going to have to stay focused on a particular point until it is settled. In other words, it requires discipline. And I hope Peter Borger holds you, me Scott and everyone else to the same standards.Did anyone think this was supposed to be fun? I'm not claiming to have all the debate answers, but whether you find the above suggestions useful or not, I *do* think increased discipline is required.------------------

In light of the inability of the participants to move the discussion forward, I've come to agree with Adminnimooseus's earlier observation that it may be time to close this thread.------------------

Peter was able to post a reply after the thread was closed because he began the reply before it was closed. To repeat the earlier message, due to the inabilty of the participants to move the discussion forward, this thread is being closed.------------------
