I think sarcasm is a slighty lower brow form of rhetoric, Jesus clearly used rhetoric in his counterarguments. I don't see anything wrong with it. Sarcasm is an important form of reproof in my opinion.

Childishness in an adult is simply a defense mechanism, many people in the world use jokes and laughters to deal with their problems, he who laughs lasts!!!!

I think a childish personality is quite close to the childlike personality that it takes to get into heaven sooooo... no apologies here.


Grow.......down!!!!!!!!!!!

nah...I'm out...lining the cross for those who can't percieve it!

An interesting exercise in ad hominem - but getting back to the subject title if not quite to the OP -- Darwinian evolutionism is inherently atheist if we are to believe Darwin himself as he describes the anti-Christian nature of his own proposals.

Darwinian Evolutionism also appears to be "distinctively atheist" if we judge it by the antics of the Dover trial.

But what Darwinian Evolutionism and YEC creationism share in common is that both are faith-based religious views for origins.

By contrast ID is more the "pure science" approach to the topic with unbridaled appeals to academic freedom to follow the data where it leads. Because of that - the ID scientist could either be a Christian YEC Creationist or even a theistic evolutionist - or an agnostic evolutionist.

But he can not be an atheist Darwinist. His religious convictions would be contradicted by the ID priniciple of academic freedom in admitting to Design when it is clearly seen.

in Christ,
