   No. They're going after the low hanging fruit. They view you   
   as a soft target, an easy win.   
      
   Same in all the groups, and always has been.   
      
   take talk.origins for example:  They zero in on young earth   
   creationists or Intelligent Design advocates like a laser   
   beam. And why not? They've got DECADES of arguments to reference,   
   court cases against the I.D. advocates... this isn't just an   
   easy win, it's a long-ago-already-happened win and they can   
   pretend to be intelligent or arguably cognizant just by copying   
   and pasting some old FAQ. But...   
      
   But take them outside their comfort zone, challenge them to   
   think and they'll avoid you like $2 vasectomy.   
      
   No, sorry, they view you as "Easy."   
      
   "Harmless."   
      
   > You twits think this is a courtroom or something.   
      
   If only!   
      
   I've never had a one that would be satisfied with the "Beyond   
   a Reasonable Doubt" standard of a court of law.   
      
   I mean, just watch the way they wave around their emotional   
   problems trying to avoid the fact that testimony *Is* evidence!   
      
   (I think the problem is that they have no clue what the word   
   "Evidence" actually means. They seem to mistaken it for an   
   alternative spelling of "Proof")

   Wisdom is like money:  The more you share the less you have!
