You mean debate against it? If so the above statement is not true.

Urm No, Mendel's pea plant work was objective and his work won out.
Yours is purely subjective and not very well put togehter.

Let's be honest with ourselves, all of the above is hardly likely. You
average scientist is more interested in knowledge than childish
squablings. They certainly arnt going to be afriad, skeptical yes,
afraid no.

If you did indeed have some kind of proof of a god you would then have
to carry on the work and explain what god is, what kind of god it is
etc etc. You would turn what is essentialy supernatual in to a natual
and knowable thing.

I'm personaly not afraid of learning new things, nor am I really
afraid of knowing I've been wrong about something as we're all wrong
about something and it's better to be open to new ideas.

Urm, right. So how exactly are you going to 'kick ass' in a newsgroup
if you avoid debate?

In translation. You can't explain you ideas, don't want to explain
them and just want to waste everyones time. If you want to side with
what ever creationist there are then why not debate that point of
view?

If you want to be taken seriously you need to think how to communicate
your ideas - that is how you can kick ass. Turning up, claiming youre
a genius and then insulting people who disagree with you and never
justify you original statement is only going to end up with the kind
of reactions no doubt you have got used to by now.

So let's debate this - bring it back to intelligent design if you
want.
