Re: Errors of law (and of order)
The fact that you appear not to consider these things errors gives one pause to wonder what you were doing for your 23 years in courtroom.
It appears that Ms. Moe has left the building. Perhaps to get back to her janitorial job at the courthouse. Once again we get the one shot interloper who seems sure that he/she has the solution to put the wrong thinking evolutionists in their place, whether it be their own great brainstorm or the undeniable wisdom of some book or web site they stumbled across. The real interesting question here is what, if any, good purpose is served by a thread like this. There is actually some good information here, e. g., differentiation between evolution and abiogenesis, realistic courtroom discourse, and some leads to what the theory and study of evolution is all about. But this has been repeated many, many times in previous attempts to engage people like Ms. Moe in useful discussion, always, to my recollection, to no avail.
Are we establishing a useful educational tool to be perused by some open minded students who find it easiest to learn from this kind of material? Or are we just two opposing groups of demonstrators shouting at each other across the barricades? Or perhaps this just provides us all with some sort of catharthis, since all participants emerge from these threads quite convinced that they have thrust the deciding blows. I'm curious as to what everyone thinks they accomplish in this type of thread.
(Like Wounded King, my wife and I are going sailing - well, windsurfing actually in our case - for the next week, but I'll be interested to see if there are any answers to my query when I return.)
