Scientists say that mutational effects can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral, depending on their context or location. "Most non-neutral mutations are deleterious."

"We"?? Who's the we? And if you question the relevance of the statement, that's up to you.

This is the second thread I found where you posted the deleterious mutation excerpt and both times you just plain flat refuse how it is relevant.

Perhaps instead of trying to be snarky, you just explain why/how you think it relevant?

Why are you so abusive?

Of course, there are those who like this denigrating attack.
One’s a moderator, no less.

Expectoration?

Do you have feelings of inferiority, that you need to belittle others?

Sad.

If you have some complaint to make, I suggest you follow standard channels.

Personally, I've had as much abuse from some sources as I care to take.

Apparently you “like” such stuff.

Perhaps another time. Nothing personal. I'm sorry you perceive my unwillingness to clarify the application now as snarky but there are some things that I believe can be explained at a different time.

So how exactly have you been abused?
If so, then I suggest you follow standard channels.

it is not your unwillingness that is snarky, it is your snarkiness that is snarky.

The well educated have an advantage on these forums that involve creationism. The thing is the well educated have to tolerate a lot of nonsense from creationists who often seem to be deceptive and disingenuous. The well educated are patient with creationists who seldom are willing to understand the flaws in their beliefs.

 

[YoursTrue]

it is not your unwillingness that is snarky, it is your snarkiness that is snarky.

Cute.

 

[YoursTrue]

it is not your unwillingness that is snarky, it is your snarkiness that is snarky.

Who knows? Maybe one day you'll understand what I meant and how I applied it. I hope hope.

Give me a break.

I would suggest you end this conversation now. Having been followed around for over a year by one person, I don't want to see that repeated.

There have been certain persons here who have made a point of pretending to be interested in learning but then nearly immediately reposting the same errors that have been explained numerous times. They are doing IMO what is called trolling. Worse than that, they claim to be representatives of the Christian faith and have so abused the respect that we try to grant to others that as you have noted, even a Christian moderator has found their behaviour difficult.

Disagreements are to be expected here, but refusing to make an effort to understand other's point of view is IMO not worthy of respect and has led some to respond as one would to a person who disrespects the speaker.

As an atheist I strive not to call Christians names, but I do expect them to behave in what they claim is a Christian manner, there are limits that neither should cross, you might want to read back further.

Abusive? I rather think I was poking fun at myself in keeping with the incoming commentary.
