,
I thought your responses were rather glib, and characteristic of this game you’re playing.
You sure know how to hurt a guy.
However my humility and the teachings of Jesus dictates that I reply again in the best manner I can.
First of all, to give context to my difficulties in not giving you a more detailed reply, I type here with one finger on my small phone, I do not use my lap top or desk top, which would relieve much of the difficulty, because I need to lay down a fair bit and in those times enjoy the sheer pleasure of coming here, a pleasure that I sincerely say Jan is greatly enhanced by you and Paddo, and certainly all the other wonderful and exceedingly brilliant people who post on this site, reading here is entirely uplifting, however as you could expect typing with one finger on a small phone forces one to be brief and perhaps more casual than one would like, well certainly for me as I would much more enjoy providing you with all the material that has me confident that Dawinism, in so far as explaining, among other things, the diversity of species, yet my limitations somewhat prevent me going into my deeper thoughts in depth leaving you understandably suggesting I have not addressed your questions, so please forgive me as certainly Jesus would call upon you to do.
Forgive my overall brevity you deserve more.
If I was able to comfortably use a keyboard whilst on my back I assure you we would both be more satisfied.
However, reading between the lines, a skill that you demonstrate with such precision I feel excited to try it myself, I think, reading between your lines, you may be trying to demonstrate that it is not always easy to define in a simple specific terms why one can hold a certain belief and indeed condense many hours of research into desirable chunks that will somehow convey all you know in a couple of simple sentences. And I feel your demand for simple answers to a question that has no simple answers is your way of telling those who have acquired the noble skill of reading between the lines, that just as you find difficulty in providing simple answers where you feel there is none that even those who place their confidence in sciences will find similar difficulties when pressed on what intially seem like simple matters.
Nevertheless knowing all this, even knowing what Jesus expects from each of us I can not layout something short that can give you an inkling of the material I find presented by "Darwinism" compelling.
And clearly everything we think we know falls into a category of belief in so far, as you point out, we each ultimately rely upon material that we find compelling or not and that even truth and fact can be elusive...but I must pause, as I fear I may only be putting words in your mouth, to permit you to reject anything I have covered trying to analyse your position, that I may have misconstrued.
However I find using just my phone is a wonderful thing as it forces me to use simple words.
Often I can think of words that provide the luxury of being concise but I find using a Thesaurus on the phone simple just far too tiresome and often for me, and I suspect others, one can find a useful and far better word if one has the list that helps selection of a better word.
And often one will find a word that although in ones memory it's infrequent use requires a further check via a dictionary.
And perhaps if using a lap top or desk top referencing material would not be as energy consuming as on a phone.
So continuing my efforts to be concise I can not give you perhaps that short answer you seek somewhat like you can not give me the short answers I seek.
By not being humble, and patronising.
Good answer, clearly well considered, but you overlook the fact that humility is as much a part of me as is my crook legs, certainly both can be seen as a burden by others but I must accept the cards I am dealt, lay down often and be humble...When I was a Christian I focused on the positive teachings and I came away believing humility was an admirable quality. I am happy with it particularly when in the presence of folk who are perhaps at the opposite end of that scale.
I certainly do not feel happy to be accused of being patronising as certainly it is not, as you may say, in my heart, but I would say part of my personal...yet if there is one strength I believe is my most precious, is the ability to see myself as others may see me...and I can see why you may think I am patronising and all I can offer is perhaps it is a glimpse of a past from when I was a smart arse kid.
I never (and I reserve that word for important occassions) wish to offend you, or others Jan...I sometimes think me saying " they did not even know where the Sun went at night" could be offensive but when I say that I merely try to transport the reader back to a time where they did not know stuff like that and certainly not to show any disrespect.
I find discussing my view of the Bible difficult as my views are perhaps too deep and my observations too historic too be met with understanding from others...and then my efforts to be casual are perhaps too casual...I just don't know..what do you think?
Yes I see your point.
I don't like to blame others and I will not but by way of explanation which you most certainly are entitled to have delivered free of back stepping qualification, I say that I, perhaps wrongly, thought I was playing the game somewhat like you...and as it is written imitation is an indication of respect and admiration...and I merely tried to be like you Jan...it's not your fault..it is my fault..I could not play the game the way you play it as I am just not that clever.
It’s not your expression, it’s your content.
I understand you but ....
, I see no reason to carry on this discussion.
Being unable to go anywhere without risking death is at the top of my list.
Another pointless response.
But nevertheless true.
The chances are I would have already seen it.
Would there be a chance that you would agree with it?
Let us discuss why you reject the facts contained therein.
