I wish to thank you for providing such a superb illustration of atheistic dogmatism.
Since when has suggesting respect is earned "dogmatism" or anything to do with atheism? Let alone "atheist dogmatism". Youre so keen to get your cliches out you seem not to even care if they apply at the time, so long as you can copy and paste them here.
The dogma in his dogmatism would come down to his fear of an open one-on-one debate - he's apparently afraid that it may burst his little bubble world that he's constructed for himself. So much so, that he refuses to engage in discussion even under cover of a pseudonym.
You really have no idea at all what "dogma" means.
Excuse me? Since when have creationists commanded or even deserved my respect? Respect is earned. It is not a right. The only thing they deserve from me is complete ridicule. Got it?
I see that ^^ ignorant statement on this board a lot. Usually from non-believers...don't know why that is.
Respect is so a "right"...and it does NOT need to be "earned"!
By that logic...you don't have to show respect to anyone you just met...on the basis that they haven't "earned your respect". That's not reasonable.
Though I submit that, "Respect IS a right, you don't NEED to earn it"...I am of the understanding that you can subsequently "lose" it.
AGAIN---In civilized society, "initial respect" is a "given"...for EVERYBODY.

It really is this simple. In any scientific endeavor, you earn respect among your colleagues by making discoveries that advance our knowledge base and further scientific progress. There is nothing in creationism that furthers our knowledge base or advances scientific progress. On the contrary, it does quite the opposite. Furthermore, creationism isn't even science, though it pretends to be. It is a religious belief held by a radical minority. It misrepresents science and what scientists say or do. It misapplies the scientific method (I question how many creationists even understand the process). In effect, it "lies for Jesus". It argues from ignorance, and claims authories that support its tenents who are, upon further inspection, not in support of it at all. It is a religion of dishonest men and women who's only goal is to make everyone believe that the Bible, particularly the Book of Genesis, is a science book and that the Flintstones is a documentary.
Respect that? Not if my life depended on it.
