Meet the Moron Of The Day, Edward Anderson. This guy just went on my Creationist Hate Mail page because I found him hilarious. Here's his first E-mail:
Interesting website.
It's obvious that you enjoy the head to heads with the emotional far right religionists who email you. Seems you may be a bit overly zealous about your outlook as well though.. It's obvious that you know very littls of what the bible actually says,or what a real Christian is all about. You have no hate mail at all from anyone who would be able to call himself a Christian. You are a psudo-intellectual who likes to talk down to your "inferiors". (or at least make it seem that way). If you would care to have an intelligent, non-biased discussion about where you might have gone totally wrong, post me an email. otherwise go on playing mind games with the emotional seven year olds and feeling real smart.

Go to http://www.creationtheory.org/HateMail/ ... rson.shtml to read the rest of this exchange. If you don't want to bother reading it, let's just say that when I pointed out the hypocrisy of his whining about my style while simultaneously attacking me, he would deny that his first E-mail was an "attack" at all (I guess his hilariously misspelled "You are a psudo-intellectual" statement was a special kind of compliment), and his idea of a flaw in evolution theory is the fact that there isn't life on all of the other planets in the solar system (seriously, that's one of his arguments). He actually sent a couple of messages after the end of the exchange which I posted on the Hate Mail page:

By the way, you performed exactly as I expected. You claimed that I was just beating up on easy targets in my Hate Mail page and that you would present a superior opponent. Well you thought wrong. Every creationist can always see the flaws in his fellow creationists' behaviour, but for some reason, he never sees it in his own. I look forward to the next creationist who E-mails me, saying "I won't give you an easy target, unlike that Edward Anderson guy".
Well, your e-mail has a ring of finality to it... guess you just ran out of insults. You certainly haven't shown any more evidence for evolution than I have for creation... Seems you just want ammunition for your "Hate Mail" Which I'm sure you will pick apart to make yourself look intelligent.
If the last answer you gave is typical, and it is, you have shown your lack of ability to convey a message, Not my inability to receive one.
I see no flaws in my fellow creationists arguments- Only yours. You have not provided a single shred of evidence for your "scientific argument" as you implied you could.
You obviously don't get it. What's the point?
Have a nice day Mike

Nice backpedaling from your first E-mail, where you said that I was beating up on easy targets in order to make myself feel smart. I guess you didn't realize that you would become one of those "easy targets".
You have not provided a single shred of evidence for your "scientific argument" as you implied you could.
You obviously don't get it. What's the point?
It's interesting how you continually refer to the fact that YOU are not convinced, YOU do not see the problem, YOU do not recognize my points, etc. This argument is not about YOU. I am not seriously expecting to convince YOU, and I never was. I know how stubborn and ignorant the typical fundie is, and I could tell you had no education whatsoever from the moment you first started posting. I used you as cannon fodder for my Hate Mail page because I could tell right off the bat that you had the right combination of ignorance and arrogance to make a fool out of yourself. And you did not disapppoint. In fact, to be honest, the fact that you demonstrated ignorance of the relationship between biology and oxygen was an unexpected bonus, thus making you look even MORE ridiculous than most of my Hate Mail entries. That's a rare honour; you should be proud
He replied with true brilliance and wit:

So I replied once more with:

The very first bird that had to fly to preserve its kind, had to be able to fly the very first time it tried. Otherwise it was snapped up by some ozlefinch and that is why we have no birds today. Same principle holds with honey bees and angler fish.
That's nice, cause you know, we can always stop everything, drop our textbooks and denote a cutoff point >here< that makes something not a lizard, but a bird, not an ape, but a man, not a this, but a that. Yeah, he's got a Star Trek grasp of of evolution [insert any number of Star Trek species that suddenly right in your face 'evolve' into beings of pure energy].
Oh, and the sole purvey of morons and idiots, ESPECIALLY as a closing line: use Latin. (or Greek, or really, any popular saying in a language not used in the debate; alternately, throwing an insult or racial epithet in another language)
He makes a <sarcasm>wonderfully insightful</sarcasm> point that Christians are indeed, by definition, creationists of some sort. What he - and many more like him - fail to understand is that intelligent Christians don't try to pretend that this belief is somehow logically or scientifically justifiable.
"I believe it, and I'm a logical human being - thus my belief in a theistic creation is logical."
This false-dilemma fallacy is so sickening to me... a human is more than capable of holding some beliefs based on logic and some on faith, without being hypocritical.
