a but troubled

Walter, I am still a bit troubled by your liar accusation.
For the flagellum I would cite this as a well explained example of the evolution of the flagellum:
http://www.talkdesign.org/faqs/flagellum.html
Not that it really matters, it doesn't explain every flagellum and there is no guarantee that is how it actually went down. Why you felt the need to break out the "liar" blast is beyond me. Perhaps the answer seems obvious to you but that doesn't make those that disagree liars.

Even more troublesome is the first liar blast.

>>Things can be difficult to divine, not being able to succinctly define how a thunderstorm forms does make every thunderstorm an act of God.<<

No one said that every thing that happens is an act of God. Lying (which you've just done) is also a poor form of argumentation.

I don't see how this can possibly be a lie. Can you help me with the lie part? I posit an opinion that just because something is unexplained does not make it necessarily divine. And you conclude from that supposition that I'm a liar.

I could, of course, be a liar. I might truly believe that anything unexplained by science must be the work of God. Perhaps I am lying about my belief that there are plenty of things I don't understand with fully natural explanations but it is difficult to see how you would reach that conclusion from the words written.

Sadly, I suspect this is just your style when discussing the topics at hand. I imagine you don't take criticism well (who does?) and that anyone that challenges you is attacked with the liar tag rather than engaging them in conversation.

If I am correct, if you are unable to have a conversation without resulting to name calling and baseless accusations why bother having a discussion at all Walter?

The answer, of course, is likely that you are no more interested in a real discussion than most people are. You;d rather throw fits, spew names and the like than really talk about the issues.

That is fine, most discussion boards are filled with that kind of stuff. Somehow I hoped for a little more from you. But that probably wasn't a reasonable expectation, people come to discussio boards to emit vitriol and call names, not to have a discussion.
