My son wandered in and logged me off when I stepped away and wiped out my
almost finished reply. I'm not going to go back and type it up all again
for two reasons. One is that it is too much work. Second is that all I'm
doing is being forced to infinitely repeat myself. Same explanations that
were previously ignored, same reliance by Dave K. on the same Straw Man
arguments, misrepresentations, denials of things he previously said,
emotional appeals, etc.
For Dave K.'s reliance on the aforesaid techniques, see Dave!'s examination
of those. He sums it all up nicely and there really isn't a need to repeat
them. I will limit myself to only one point:

Koudys wrote:
"And don't make the mistake of saying that evolution is science. Science is
based on what can be shown today--evolution happened a long time ago."
This is the entirety of the paragraph.
I can do this with other claims you have made if I want to go to the effort,
but since I established my credibility, I think it incumbent on you to go
back and check your own messages first.

| (...) K, we're just not reading one another here. At all. And I don't know if both of us are just being obtuse, but here's my premise: Science is a good way for us to come to understand the physical universe. Things may exist outside the scope of (...)
