On guard
Have we converted anyone here?
Have we ever actually "won" a debate? Not by our standards, but by theirs
The thing is, Nug, that just as Atho/Evos develop a baloney detector, so do fundies acquire a sentinel----'Warning, Warning, Will Robinson. Fact approaching' which gives them time to alter tack. Think of it as a farce shield.:-p (with apologies to Capt. Kirk)

Re: Why bother? What can we do?
Well done,BK. Of course, the scenario gets a lot scarier than that. In the past, the damage one deranged individual could do was limited by the weapons available. Now, thanks to the madness of atheists as well, Biopreparat developed (and may be still working on) melding viruses to be incurable. Thousands of scientists worked in the program with brains on hold, comforting themselves that it was for the glory of the Motherland. With widespread unemployment and poverty in the ex-USSR, who knows who might be tempted to barter their knowledge to extremists (of all persuasions). Never mind that the survival rate of mankind might be in the balance, let`s get the cash and pretend it won`t affect home sweet home. What the buyer does with the product is of no concern. Not a credible scenario? Tell that to the U.S. inspection teams who examined the Russian labs and found buyers had been there previous to their visits.

Re: Facts, what are facts?
Close,DHR, but no cigar. You forget the threat of whining to admin.

Re: arrogance and respect
Was it Kipling (or Bill Cosby) who said 'It`s not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game'?:-p

Re: Is it just me?
We sent the convicts to Australia (explains a lot )
Kinda explains our anti-authoritarian outlook.

Re: The unanswered questions
Their iron-clad logic doesn`t seem to extend to the fact that 99+% of species are extinct. So either we have the most incompetent designer in history, or one hell of a sadist.
