Whenever
people tell me that it's apparent we're not going to agree on
something, I ask myself why. Is it because there isn't enough evidence
to resolve issues and answer questions or that perhaps no one's
committed to the effort to find and consider that evidence and work
through its implications? Or, instead, is it that people just like their
opinions, their biases and prejudices and aren't about to give them up
just because of some petty superior argument?

So 1) I think there is not enough evidence out there 2) I am not committed to considering the evidence and 3) working through its implications. Instead, I am comfortably resting in my biases, prejudices, and opinions, not yielding to your superior argument.

Sorry, not sorry. I don't think your argument is somehow superior. I don't think mine is either. No one can claim special access to the truth, a type of claim with which we are both familiar.

I have not been able to view all of the information you have recently posted. The videos I don't have time to watch, but I'd like to read more of your links. However, I have been working. I just got back from a great jazz gig, and am surfing the net to wind down before waking up in time to substitute teach early tomorrow.
