Guillaumeb has given us another straw man, I'm afraid. trotsky Jan 2018 #6

The actual straw man is in your rely #4. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #8

This is a bit more nuanced than what is insisted by many to be true. yallerdawg Jan 2018 #2

Perhaps some suffer from an allergy to nuance. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #5

No, they don't generally hate science. trotsky Jan 2018 #4

Possibly you read a different article? guillaumeb Jan 2018 #7

Nope. trotsky Jan 2018 #20

I think if you look closely Igel Jan 2018 #46

Could very well be. trotsky Jan 2018 #47

Obfuscation.. Permanut Jan 2018 #10

If Ken Ham did not exist, guillaumeb Jan 2018 #12

Not really. He has plenty of clones. nt. Mariana Jan 2018 #44

Great news about American evangelicals... ExciteBike66 Jan 2018 #13

A bit hyperbolic. eom guillaumeb Jan 2018 #15

Never heard of ISIS, huh? ExciteBike66 Jan 2018 #16

Have you ever heard of the over 1 billion Muslims who are not ISIS members? guillaumeb Jan 2018 #18

But you understand that a study about the scientific acceptance of American evangelicals ExciteBike66 Jan 2018 #22

Deflection.. Permanut Jan 2018 #26

Lot of hypocrisy here in addition to faulty premises Bradshaw3 Jan 2018 #19

A miracle is another word for an unexplained phenomenon. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #24

No it's not Bradshaw3 Jan 2018 #28

I gave a definition for miracle. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #31

Yes, and you're correct. Igel Jan 2018 #48

I would be interested to see how many American evangelicals subscribe to NOMA... ExciteBike66 Jan 2018 #34

I have no idea. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #38

My guess is that more non-theists agree with NOMA ExciteBike66 Jan 2018 #41

I think it would be a pointless survey. Igel Jan 2018 #49

That is not the way those evangelicals are using the word. Mariana Jan 2018 #63

Stay on topic. Why do you want others to have a better tone but you don't do it yourself? Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2018 #55

I see nothing wrong with my tone. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #57

Then stop telling others to change their tone. Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2018 #58

An interesting attempt at blaming others. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #59

An interesting attempt at avoiding your own culpability Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2018 #60

I don't know how they define "evangelical." Igel Jan 2018 #50

Not buying it. RelativelyJones Jan 2018 #61
