Well you know Russell, you can twist things how you like. You ignored the part where I said I once had a list. That was some months ago. The list might not be as big as you'd like. I recall about 5 names. But when I said a lot of people, I didn't mean only actual paleontoloists.
I make a statement about how evolution skeptics react to paleontology, and suddenly I am discredited because I am not willing to look up names for you. It would no doubt take a while. Or maybe not. You ask for details on why I doubt evolution, but when I provide them I get little comment.
And I don't know why you say Gould's issues have nothing to do with mine. I haven't read his books, but I have read some excerpts.
Jay Ray,
I don't actually recall you saying you were an atheist, but that is fine with me. No cold shoulder. My husband is or was an atheist. Now he says he is an agnostic, and I'm not cold to him at all.  Furthermore, I actually respect him as a fairly spiritually advanced person. See, in my weird view of things, one's professed beliefs or lack thereof has only a little to do with one's spiritual life.
I didn't get the sense from our discussions though, that your sum assessment of theology is that God is a figment of the imagination. I mean, in that case, what is there to say? At any rate, it caused a misunderstanding.
But I am intrigued by your hope for an afterlife. Can you elaborate?
