Slander and Libel
Hi, Drew.

It doesn't upset us: it's just how we relate to people in science. We can't get by in a day without slandering somebody else's hypotheses: you get used to it after awhile. Don't let it be your reason for leaving.
Seriously, though: science does better when scientists viciously attack every new idea. We discover which ideas are strong by beating up on everything and comparing their ability to weather the storm.
I don't think you should give up just because your opponent doesn't like you: he's not supposed to like you.

Re: Economics
But let me tell you some of your atheists something. Be prepared to rethink your belief systems. I know things you don't know about.
Don't you have anything better in your repertoire than calling scientists who find the evidence for the theory of evolution convincing, "atheists"?
Next you'll be calling them tools of Satan or something.
You do more harm than good to your cause with such statements.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

There's no expectation of privacy at a public debate board. People from both sides are here because they *want* to engage the other side in debate - that's the opposite of a desire for privacy.
You're not offending anybody's sensibilities by debating here. In fact, the opposite is true. When the mice stay home the cats have no fun, so to speak.
But let me tell you some of your atheists something.
Well let me tell you non-atheists something - I'm a non-atheist, too. So when you say:
Be prepared to rethink your belief systems.
How about you rethinking your own belief system that requires those who disagree with you to be atheists? Might it possibly be just as mistaken as your belief system that requires science and religion to be in conflict?
I know things you don't know about.
Maybe. And by running away you insure that you'll be able to continue believing that the things you think you know are actually true.

His cause? Unless you are a mind reader, it sounds like more projection.
Don't you have anything better in your repertoire than calling scientists who find the evidence for the theory of evolution convincing, "atheists"?
So how is that different from your repertoire of labeling people who do not buy into the evolutionist dogma creationists and then calling them liars & comparing them to used car salesmen etc, & other such digs every chance you get. From the way you debate/communicate it is pretty easy to guess you are an atheist with an axe to grind.
Next you'll be calling them tools of Satan or something.
Well he hasn't, so how about ending with the projections and creation of strawmen.

The stupidity seems to have bottomed out - Closing time
My impression is that you have just dragged a dubious quality topic down to its lowest point. Not a good thing to be doing.
I've thought before, about closing this topic. Now's the time.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Source
