YOU SAW IT HERE FIRST FOLKS - A CREATIONIST ADMITTED ERROR!!!!
Congratulations - you just rose up a few rungs in my book.
Your narrative is creationism is insane, and those who believe it are ignorant.
I have no real narrative, but I can draw conclusions from my nearly 30 years of interest in this 'debate' and my 2 decades of post-doctoral research and teaching experience in the subject.
And those conclusions are that, in general, creationists do not understand the science of evolution; creationists, as often as they can, conflate evolution and abiogenesis, attacking a 'weaker' research program (abiogenesis) as their arguments against evolution as such are almost entirely bogus and/or irrelevant;
creationism is a purely religious belief, unsupportable by any empirical evidence; many creationists ARE ignorant of the relevant science, and many are also malicious and/or purposefully deceptive in their zeal to prop up their religious views.
Of course there are rare exceptions.
Therefore, since abiogenesis, and thus evolution on the macro scale occurred, creationism and those who might support it must be discredited. All are to be judged by those previously discredited.
^^Note conflation of abiogenesis with evolution^^
Nearly all creationists - to include the professionals* (see below) - typically fail to think through their supposed arguments. Denying macroevolution (i.e., speciation) makes the ark story 100% untenable; many creationists opt to accept, without evidence, large-scale post-flood hyper-evolution (for which there is no evidence of any kind) to keep the number of critters on the ark manageable, but they just cause more problems for themselves.
Typo´s, minor errors are to be portrayed as major efforts to deceive, and since the creationist position on abiogenesis is unassailable, everything possible to discredit the creationist that is observed, or if you can get away with it, imagined.
Right - it is all just typos and 'minor errors'...
I on the other hand have the fun objective of stating, whenever it comes up, that abiogenesis is an imagined process, with no evidence that comes within a million miles of documenting it.

Of course, I must always play defense. Since my position is based in fact
Yes - the fact that you are attacking something unrelated to evolution to attack evolution; something for which there is at least SOME research and observational evidence for, as oppposed to your fantasies based on middle eastern tales.
, something else must be used too A) discredit Creationism, and B) stir the mud so abogenesis is not the issue, my alleged dishonesty is, and that quickly is applied to many millions of creationists ( you want the exact number ? I don´t have it. another unsubstantiated assertion, ya got me again, there may be only 137 creationists)
By alleged dishonesty are you referring to your debunked claim that the textbook reviewers were not creationists, when in fact they were?
Or your as yet unsupported claim that Stanley Miller gave a "recent interview" despite dying in 2007 in which he admitted that his experiments were failures?
I must further play defense, because I personally loathe (or is it I am loath ? look it up, I might be trying to deceive you) to attack people as people.
Odd - reading through your posts, even those from well before I had replied to you (I had you on ignore for some reason up until a few days ago), I noted that your tone was decidedly aggressive and condescending. So color me unimpressed by your pleas to the contrary.
So, few creationists are willing to put up with the abiogenesis/evolutionist tactics, crap.
Look up "projection."
In my entire working life I dealt with arrogant people, from lying newspaper reporters, to those who, because of their social status, believed they should be treated differently. The whole gamut.
Look up "projection."
You guys are pipsqueaks in comparison.
So, accuse away and take your unearned victory laps.
Accuse? I think you mean "demonstrate".
Your alleged motive for the very minor errors I made is bogus, your allegations that I failed to supply supporting evidence is bogus, and I am pretty sure your analysis of my character is bogus.
To be clear, your belief in abiogenesis is unsupported, yet I know in your mind you believe it occurred, no matter your posted denials. You have the faith.
Bring it.
There are no ground rules,
And then you just do the same things over and over.
Like every other creationist I have ever encountered.
To be clear, your belief in creation is unsupported, yet I know in your mind you believe it occurred, no matter your posted denials. You have the faith. I also know you cannot produce any evidence that a relevantly educated would find convincing.
*Over the years, I have encountered a couple of professional creationists and challenged them on their claims. 2 examples - One creationist claimed that researcher bias accounted for most of the molecular phylogenetic analyses indicating common ancestry for humans and chimps. So, I took the current data set I was using (~35 taxa), removed all identifying features for each taxon, removed any alignment gaps and scrambled the order of the taxa in the data matrix, and sent him the file. I told him that he could re-align and re-analyze the data, and if his thesis was correct, he should get a totally different outcome. He declined, claiming he did not have enough time.
Another was a currently well known creation 'scientist' who has written several articles claiming to have debunked chimp-human ancestry. His first efforts on this topic were to re-analyze sequence identity and using a series of 'rigged' analyses, he produced numbers well below the usual numbers given (~70% similar rather than the usual 90+% similar), concluding that humans and chimps could share an ancestry as their %sequence identity/similarity was too low. I contacted him, challenging him to do a similar analysis on pairs of creatures creationists claim descended from a created Kind. He replied that it was dumb and that he was right... Coward...
