Actually no. It means that I am postjudiced. It is the obligation of critical thinkers to eventually reach conclusions based on evidence and reason. It is pure stupidity to maintain an open mind in the face of overwhelming evidence for one position over the other.

Eventually, smart people stop wasting their time on the consideration of demonstrated falsehoods and move on. It's called "progress."

When the information depends on a legitimate understanding of the source then it is mind numbing only to the already numbed mind.

The topic is not about you.
Harrier doesn't know nor care what arguments Ham uses.

He does know that the debate will be and this thread is about the validity of evolution aa a scientific theory.

Please stop deflecting and answer the questions.

Why do you believe that there is observable evidence for evolution?

What is your definition of evolution?

Some little children grow up to understand different languages and the Dewey Decimal System.
Other little children continue to dimly not comprehend and think it was done by magic.

No hallucinations... anything that we don't see, we take by faith in the account of someone else.

This is not a religious statement. If you thought about it for a second, you would realize that what I said is correct.

Evolution is a fairy tale and evolutionists are intllectually dishonest.

This is evident by their inability to answer even the most basic questions regarding their theory, and to instead rely on red herrings and ad hominem attacks against anyone who dares to think critically and engage in rational debate about the validity of evolution as a scientific theory, demonstrated by evolutionists within this thread.

What a bizarre assertion. It presumes 1) that we have only a single sense. 2) That we are unable to use tools and instruments to "see" things we otherwise unable to see. And 3) that we are incapable of reasoning either deductively or inductively.

I do not take on faith that the sun will rise tomorrow. I actually have good evidence that it will do so.

No. It's just an absurd one.

You can't define the facts that evolution is supposed to explain, and you have been asked repeatedly to do so.
