Allow me to affirm there’s nothing personal in it. You and I have had some good robust discussions on this blog and I look forward to more.

This is simply about making sure that in this formative stage of conversation happening here, that the tone is set and kept on track as whatever happens now will set the tone for the future

Fair enough; as Paul Henry recently said, “Start a group”.

hmmm… which is what I might do…

David, welcome to that club then, it’s pretty exclusive

Sorry mate, I would have explained but thought it was self evident – you were continuing to try to push Damian to get an answer when I had clearly expressed twice that I did not want that line of conversation to continue as it does not fit the nature of the blog.

Frank,

I’ve always wanted to join that club(!), but is it possible to get an explanation?

David, with all due respect, the conversation will not end with Damian offering a ‘final’ response. No matter what he says (and I do not think he has a trigger to his head at this point) both you and Grant will feel compelled to respond and thus it goes on.

Your question may be a worthy one, but it does not fit this blog, thus my request is that it endeth here and that Damian not respond. Being the polite man he is I am sure that he will respect that request as I am sure both you and Grant will as well.

Frank,

please allow Damian just one last reply, before the poor chap pulls the trigger of the gun he’s holding to his head.

Hopefully we won’t run out of room on this page!

Gentlemen, please take any discussions about the nature of evolution to another blog, it is not the point of this post, nor does such a discussion fit the nature of this site. There are many other sites that exist to cover such conversations.

Hi-5, David. Another sensible man.

Damian,

I would love to hear exactly what life forms have been observed evolving in a lab. By evolving I mean ‘gaining genetic material’ not by means of mutation or devolving etc…

P.S. I’m a young young earth creationist so you may not want to support your argument by replying to me as well.
