I know, Stu. I am upset when MY knowledge about the basic forms of logic are disputed, misunderstood and distorted. Our basic difference seems to be about how we judge the intent and mindset of others. *shrug*... I just do not assume their error to be malicious or that my honesty is being questioned.
It baffles me how so many can deny the basic obvious data... but there are reasons in culture & psychology that are really hard to sort out.

As I just said to Pete, I am a bit fascinated by the debate. I have never had this degree of detailed discussion with a genuine follower of creationism before. Usually, Christian fundamentalists I speak to briefly get angry or bored or petulant and refuse to even talk to me.

(I must reread Eric Hoffer's famous book "The True Believer" for some insight)
