Vatican Astronomer Debunks ID

I'm not sure what you're saying. That non-believers should not get involved unless invited to do so?

Stat,

I said basically the opposite (gee, David said this to me once - scary thought or maybe I am getting smarter from this forum.)

The debate, discussion, challenge, whatever we want to call it was initiated from an original post from David.

I am saying an agnostic invited the believer to the discussion table. For the atheist to slam believers who are tying to hold a civilized discourse is disingenuous (sorry, I loathe that word but can’t think of a better one right now).

Certainly, the discussion should remain as logical as possible given the restraints of the subject matter.

p.s. Regarding other threads about ethics, etc: post ‘em. If they are interesting then they’ll recieve responses. The space on the forum is, figuratively speaking, infinite. I would suggest that the poster who suggested this to begin with, r2vbr, start first by reviewing David’s threads on dogs and babies and babies in Africa. He has some good points, especially his notion of “sins” of omission. Once up to speed, new ethical questions will not go unnoticed.
