Why the quotes around the word mission? After all... it was your word. Or did you forget? Kinda hard to keep track of ad hominem attacks in 5 threads, huh? To tell the truth, this is the perfect example of your brand of obfuscation. First you make a claim and then you pretend that you never made it. Do you not hate the fact that all of this is on the servers, there for anyone to see? Anway, I don't need luck, Z. I have you. It's like taking candy from a baby.
I quote the word mission to give you full credit for the use of the word mission as you used it in the last post... Hmmm, what kind of mature adult would think of taking candy from a baby to eat it themselves?
While I understand the point you are making. And empathize with your difficulty trying to pin down zzz. I am not sure these quotes are accurate. Most theists generally believe that evolutionary change doesn't occur at all, and that biological change is the product of instantaneous "materialization from pure potentiality." That really is the crux of the issue. The issue is not about whether or not randomness in the universe is real or only perceived. The issue is that a very large group of religious fundamentalists reject all scientific observation and inference in favor of a blind adherence to the belief that God routinely enters this universe and makes changes that could not occur, but for the introduction of magical/miraculous/supernatural force. I think too many people believe that Christian evangelicals are monolithic in thought. They also seem to discount the fact the the majority of Christians are either mainline Protestants or Catholics. Besides KJ if you were omnipotent and omniscient how could you be backed into having to make a change that could not occur but for a miraculous supernatural force.
lol... as I said, you seemed to have forgotten - it was you who first used the word mission... what's weird is, I gave you the citation in the last post, but it seems you were unable to parse the meaning from it!! This is actually very interesting. Z says I respond by saying Z then posts in reply as if he is quoting someone else's use of the word mission!!!!! I post back to him pointing out that it was he that first used the word. I provide the citations. In a bizarre response, Z says !!!!! This is actually very, very telling. It shows that Z has no need whatsoever to be internally consistent. In his world, the slate is wiped clean before each one of his pronouncements. There are no past contradictions, no questions or challenges to his position that must be answered. There is only his Word, which is ascendant and irreproachable. As we can see, even direct quoted proof of his own words less than one hour before this do not make any impact upon him!!! Then he pretends that he has never heard the phrase 'easy as taking candy from a baby' and in another bizarre twist, seems to censure me for my desire to do harm to a child, a desire which he is pretending to have seen evidence for in my use of that aphorism. This is an outright lie on Z's part - just another that goes into the record. Actually a fascinating study.... mission accomplished
I notice you didn't respond to my pointing out the fact that your characterization of my use of the phrase 'like taking candy from a baby' as indicative of the desire to do harm to a child is an outright lie. But you know what? We have come to expect nothing more from you. Or as the kids say... You are so owned!! or That is classic ownage! Thread closed.
lol.... again, evasion taken to it's highest levels. It's almost an art form the way you practice it, Z. Ignores the facts cut and pasted from his own posts responds with pure ad hominem. Did you think the phrase 'easy as taking candy from a baby' meant that the speaker was intending to take candy from a baby? We await your response.
