@ nicolaou and OEJ - it's one thing to bring up valid points and make an argument. It's another matter entirely to belittle and more or less insult someone's post in a condescending way merely because they disagree with you.
@ cofty - contrast the way you responded to me with how you initially responded to Rattigan. Notice a difference? Yes, you were being considerably more respectful with the exception of "moaning". And yes, I'm actually very interested in learning how life originated. Not trying to be clever cofty, just a sincere interest to learn more and more. Thank you. I will definitely check out the book you recommended. I'm always open to suggestions. I'm not closed minded at all.
Let's take a closer look at your reply to Rattigan to see if I'm exaggerating:
How much time and effort have you put into finding an answer to your question?
Clearly you are talking down to Rattigan here.
If it is the hymen that makes you doubt evolution why didn't you bother to read the answer above?
Here you are taking an authoritative tone reprimanding Rattigan like a superior talking to an employee for his lack of action to your liking
.Evolution is a fact. Get over it.
Authoritative tone like a parent speaking to a child. Leaving no room for discussion
Reality takes priority.
Simply speaking, you are telling Rattigan his belief in Creationism is stupid and idiotic.
