Huh?
This is completely inane and nonsensical. It just seems like one long tangent. What are you trying to say? And when explaining, perhaps you should simplify.

“I know where I am and who I am. I'm on the brink of disillusionment, on the eve of bitter sweet. I'm perpetually one step away from either collapse or rebirth. I am exactly where I need to be. Either way I go towards rebirth, for a total collapse often brings a rebirth." -Andrew Jaramillo

Re: Free for All Reminder
Can I boot people from my topic?
No, as this is a public forum. You can make an official complaint to the admins, however, you need a legitimate complaint other than he is making your arguments look silly.

Re: Yes, yes, use the old standard
I sense a level of narcissism here.

Re: TEACHING, just teaching
People don't know this work. Our schools don't mention its existence.
I think the majority of the problem is that you have a tendency to go off on tangents, so by that by the end of it, nobody really knows what you are talking about. Or as Coyote stated, its "disjointed," which I can't disagree with.
We have heard you going on and on about a new theory of evolution, but you really haven't put forth any documentation that would support the assertion, nor have you really explained it succinctly. So we are left with conjecture -- muddled conjecture, I might add.
Come clean and admit that a female investigator wrote a theory of evolution that is not even given one syllable of classroom time.
I seriously doubt that some sexist conspiracy is to blame here. If it has not been peer reviewed, or if it has but has been determined to be total hokum, then it isn't going to find its way within a classroom. Besides, there is already enough crap in schools as it is, from the philosophy of science to the social pandering. We don't need it cluttered up any more than it is.
It might be well with you to also ask yourself, why, if this new theory were as compelling as you claim, has no one with any clout or eminence latched on to it?

Re: Facts are here
Of course you "think" and you "doubt," but do you work?
Yes, I work. What does that have to do with anything?
In order to understand this theory and assess the evidence, you have to read the books.
I got that part. In the meantime, it would be beneficial if you gave us a brief synopsis. I can;t make heads or tails of what you are talking about.
1. There is a book called THE SECRET DOCTRINE containing a version of evolution not talked about in schools and not frequently known of by the general public. FACT
It may also be fact that it's a crock. Have you ever considered that aspect?
Blavatsky wrote THE SECRET DOCTRINE and for some unknown reason, people are slow in discovering "the secret" that is there for us to know. Why? People love puzzles. They love to experiment. It is in our nature. Just because I am capable of presenting the secret to you after membership in the organization since 1975, doesn't make me a giant of the human race. I am a simple human who found the life here to be inviting, stimulating, and purifying. FACT
As in Madam Blavatsky, the charlatan? That might be why no one takes it seriously. You do realize also that she died not all that long after the Origin of Species was written. That being the case, do tell how she revolutionized the theory of evolution with her wide expertise of the field.
While admitting to simple human status, the monumental task of uncovering a theory of evolution that can serve both sides in the debate and bringing this theory into VOGUE is too much for me and I implore you to calculate that if a task of this size presents itself to a simple human, that simple human will produce a dependence upon a great girasas being for guidance and fortitude and if the accomplishment of the task does occur, she (or he) will give credit to God and to this higher kingdom for the occasion, and will view herself as mostly impeding the process (unfortunately). FACT
What are you talking about? You are speaking as if something profound is supposed to smack us in the face. This is just gobbledegook.
I offer this historical occurrence to you, serious debaters that I know you are, because I trust that you will want to know whether or not my claim is worth the time it takes for you to substantiate it.
I think we're all waiting for you to substantiate something. But moreover, we are ever patiently waiting for some semblance of structure. I do apologize but I have no idea what you are talking about. And I know I'm not the only one. You continue to go off on tangents, seemingly attempting to tie one thing to another, but no one knows what you mean. You are too vague.
Does anyone accept this challenge?
I do. My challenge to you is to have people understand what you are talking about.

Re: TEACHING, just teaching
The subterranean martian hypothesis is as equally valid as the theory you advocate.
SHOULD WE TEACH THAT TOO?
Of course!
Will you actually explain to us why it is we should take your theory any more seriously than any other explanation of the evidence at hand?
WHY YOUR THEORY ABOVE THE MANY OTHERS?
I suspect that Ms. Tucker suffers from a severe case of narcissism which causes delusions of grandeur. Anyone that uses the charlatan Madam Blavatsky in the context of evolution as some sort of luminary, and talking about "Secret" doctrines, that's the surest sign it's nonsense from start to finish.

Working it out
See for yourself. The messages you consistently get from others--that your statements are incoherent, that they can't understand your ideas, that your explanations make no sense--are red flags.
You need to be discussing these experiences with a qualified professional, not with us. Are you doing so? If not, it's time. Now.
I echo these sentiments, Brenda. It is reminiscent of the cult-like hold and mental gymnastics that the Church of Scientology holds over its victims.
The biggest problem that I see, Archer, is that finding out something she holds so dear to be fabled and wishful thinking is that it could cause serious cognitive dissonance. A slow weening off process might be most advisable. But the psychologists can sort that out I suppose.
