See my response to Steve Clark's post. Stan completely misunderstands
what I am saying. I am not concerned for myself. I have much bigger fish
to fry!

SJ: I am concerned to show that "the usual varying degrees of intimidation,
denigration and abuse that I am accustomed to at the hands of TE/ECs on
this Reflector", is due to the adverse effects of otherwise fine Christians
having been taken "captive through [a] hollow and deceptive philosophy,
which depends on ...the basic principles of this world..." (Col 2:8), namely
scientific materialism-naturalism.

Perhaps but it could equally be that it is you who have been taken captive through such a hollow deceptive philosophy. Explain why you believe that there is evidence to support your comments?

SJ: This "usual varying degrees of intimidation, denigration and abuse" by "TE/ECs
on this Reflector" against their fellow Christians who are creationists is so
pervasive, and so contrary to normal Christian ethics (let alone the world's
ethics), that it is itself a fact that cries out for an explanation.

Yet evidence of such remains as illusive as Stephen's evidence for ID. And that is not meant as intimidation but merely an observation of reality.
