i remember it well, as I have stated, it was simply a matter of discernment, for as you failed to provide even a semblance of evidence to the contrary, i.e. that it would invigorate, instill confidence in, up-build my faith I desisted, then what ensued was a persistent and sustained attempt to coerce me to read the volume, with sincere offers i haste ...[text shortened]... wins own book as a compromise, it was to no avail, the hounds were insatiable and here we are 🙂
The point of you reading the book would be that in the future we could have, for once, an informed debate on the topic instead of you repeating the same old creationist canards. At the moment your views on evolution are based purely on ignorance, now you can huff and puff all you like but that is the truth.
You are correct i was persistent in my attempts to get you to read the book, i was truely amazed at why a grown man would refuse to read something. It's also amusing to watch you tie yourself up in knots with your bizarre and increasingly ludicrous reasonings for not wishing to read a book someone is willing to send you for free.
As for accusations of narrow mindedness, it was you who said -
You may term me close minded, ignorant, or whatever else adjectives that spring to mind, i will never deny any of them.
As for accusations of fear, i stated that the reason you had never read any books on evolution was becuase you were frightened before the 'book saga' began, to which you huffed and puffed like you normally do, then came the revelation which i posted above. I accused you of fear before the debate began, it turns out i was right.
