At what? That isn't a very convincing reply.
At the 200 odd pages of post that you clearly neglected to read.

Which goes to prove that you have only been exposed to limit scientific studies - and have not seen a bigger picutre. At least creationists have had some understanding of both sides. (Evolution seems to be standard curriculum at all public schools now)
Had you not been “too tired,” “too distracted,” “too something,” to read the earlier posts you’d have found that I am far more familiar with all the nuances of creationism and the biblical texts, and their interpretations than you appear to be conversant with science.
adza:
Do you simply discredit any scientist that believes evolution is false as not being a scientist? Or are you making up statements and statistics to try and prove your faith?
Most of these individuals, of whom you speak, fall into one of several groups (in order of numbers), those faking a degree, those with an advanced degree in something other than science or engineering, those with degrees in engineering, those with degrees in mathematic, physics or astronomy and a few poor souls left over like Kurt Wise, whom I am no more responsible for than is than I am for a rogue cop with a coke problem.
I have not offered you any statistics, but you go ahead and make them up for use by us both, you’ve likely had a great deal of practice at that, and poor me, I must admit to having none.
adza:
I respect decisions (regardless of which way someone decides to believe) even though I don't have to agree with it - but only when the person has been dilligent in their research.
That’s a joke; the diligence that you’ve displayed in going through the earlier posts prior to shooting off your mouth establishes you as a fraud of the first order.
adza:
Really? You get this evidence from where? Limited resources that back up what you have already decided on what to believe? … blah, blah, blah
Read the previous posts in the thread, sorry to keep giving you the same answer, but you’ve yet to convince me that you deserve special treatment.
adza:
A book of mythology with debatable origin. Again - you're simply showing me that you are going from what you've heard, and have not done your homework my friend. Have you actually done a study of the historical statements in the bible, and compared them to archological findings, and other historical documents and found them false?
Once again, may I disrespectfully suggest that you read the previous posts in the thread.
BTW: I do not recall giving you leave to call me “friend.” When you stop being lazy and do the work, then perhaps we can be friends, like I am with folks like Mike and Pete, whom I respect.
adza:
Or have you simply made a decision on what you believe is real, and then just make shallow remarks to discredit anything that disagrees with your ideals?
I must admit - it is true that there are creationists that believe what they believe solely because of their faith in the bible and don't worry about science, but that should not give you the idea that all do - as it would be false to come to this conclusion, just as it would be false to come to the conclusion that all evolutionists believe what they believe simply because they have faith in what they see on TV and have not done serious studies.
My family does not watch TV, it would cut into our reading and conversation time. I think that was mentioned in a previous post.
adza:
How does convincing someone to believe in evolution benefit human progress? Accoridng to your theory, when we die - we're gone? What difference does it make what we believe in while we're alive?
Check your ego at the door, you just can’t imagine the universe going on with out you, can you?
