Why do you even bother?

Because I have to. If people didn't bother debating, then nobody would progress.

Well your intentions are noble. Sadly these debates seem to always evolve into a series of monologues. Generally, in a debate  the side that comes up with the most compelling evidence and that argues most convincingly wins, but in this particular debate one of the sides (not gonna say which), has a problem admitting defeat, ultimately because they do not see compelling evidence as neither a necessity nor an obstacle to adopting their position in the first place.

Yeah, sorry about the extended monologues. Usually to debate this subject it requires the use of a lot of information, sometimes I feel as though I can only explain things with walls of text, which is unfortunate.

All I can hope is that the people I was replying to read my entire reply to them. If they did, then they haven't replied, which is very annoying. Especially as I got accused of intellectual dishonesty, which is exactly what a lot of the creationists have shown.

But if they haven't read the posts, then I guess it just shows which side is willing to put in the footwork to find out the real situation. Or just refuse to read it.

 

Maybe I should just stop debating in these threads. Meh.
