As theater of the absurd, this thread is pretty damned funny. On one hand, you have one guy who seems impossibly impervious to clues, and on the other, a whole bunch of easily provoked people, jumping through every hoop he holds up, equally impervious to clues. Of course, he's missing the clue about the logic of science, and the other guys are missing clues about the futility of trying to talk about logic and science with someone who's determined not to ever get it.

Of course, that's why trolls do so well here. People enjoy reacting and are having too much fun being manipulated to care that they're being manipulated.

Personally, I never heard of people who took the Bible literally until I was in high school, and I didn't know of any atheists until then either. People who take things literally are at a distinct disadvantage in life. I have a hard time believing anyone who's studied the Bible at all doesn't have an understanding of parable.

That's the last I'll say here, because I don't want to be one of those people who doesn't know when to walk away from stupid... at least occasionally.
