"I'm sorry to say this post from you is unnecessarily argumentative and

Paul, I have re-worded the statement to remove the part you find offensive. I
personally don't understand why you have a problem calling what you think to be
true, as faith.
Calling something transitional, does not make it transitional. You are
assuming it to be transitional because you can imagine how it could be and then
you turn around and call it evidence to support your contention that evolution
is true and this contention that evolution is true is what caused you to view
it as transitional in the first place. Do you not see the circular problem here?
If this makes it easier for you to read and somehow less accusatory, I would
be happy to rephrase my entire original post.
I realise that matters of faith are not where you want to think that you are.
You want to be a practical and thoughful person, on a higher path of science,
evidence, probabilities and practicality. My point to you is that you are not
free from the things you dislike in others, faith, preconceived notions,
assumptions, brainwashing, culture, peer pressure, etc.... - No one is free of
these things, not me, not you, or enyone else here. It seems you have agreed
with me previously that all people, religious or scientific, are influenced by
these same faults. I say that evolution is a result of these unsavory
characteristics, and that you as a man of science and practicallity might want
to examine whether or not that is true.

DIV { MARGIN: 0px } Dear Paul,
When is an argument merely gainsaying and when is it a spirited discussion?
Accepting that you do not want to respond to the rest of James' post, how
about just addressing the comment he made in red?

lovely little circle you've enslaved your mind with.
