Compare And Contrast!

Yesterday's post sparked a spectacular exchange in the comments that followed. The purpose of this blog is to inspire you to think, and without a doubt we had some thoughts. I've always held to the belief that when opposing opinions were held side by side the comparison would show the truth. Yesterday was no exception, and I'd like to thank Mr Humanape and Lee Bowman for a fantastic dialog. Comparing the two you can make your own decision, I know I have!

It always stands true when people are confronted with the facts in any given situation, they will most certainly come to the right conclusion on their own, when the issues are compared side by side. I've also found it unwise to argue with whoever holds the microphone or the pen, as they always seem to have the last word, and that is almost impossible to overcome. I'll bring up the example here of the heckler and the comic, the heckler rarely comes out on the upside.

Back to the exchange! What a wonderful contrast of ideas! Mr Human ape was cloaked in anonymity, while Mr. Lee Bowman used his name and picture, powerful stuff! Mr. Bowman made his point concisely and laced with fact, Mr. Human ape chose to make his point by trying to pull apart my text in general terms. They both noted science as the fact of their argument but Mr Bowman used precise points, while Mr. Human ape highlighted the entire subject of basic biology as his talking point. It was apparent Mr. Bowman knows what he believes and why he believes it.(I found it enlightening to see an opinion not taken from a Michael Shermer video). It also appears Mr. Human ape was taught biology from a liberal point of view, highlighting evolution, not comparing the two. Not a surprise, as our learning institutions are strongly bias to the liberal end. I found Mr. Human ape's debate style very Saul Alinsky like, but then if your going to be taught liberal theory, you should also be taught to defend it in a liberal style.

I love your input, keep it coming! We all learn from comparing your opinions. The nice thing about opinions is if someone likes yours they are free to adopt it. Yet in the same context, if they are more comfortable with their own, it belongs solely to them. Mr. Bowman, I'm proud to have your comments on this blog. Your articulate, knowledgeable, and a man of conviction. Welcome aboard! Mr. Human ape, best of luck to you and your theories. I pray they serve you well. I'll also welcome your aboard, we all don't think alike, and keeping our feet to the fire can serve to do nothing but improve our text. Kudos to you both, and thank you for your valuable input!

God Bless!
