I've actually been humming that song all day! There was, however, no danger of that with the Nimoy video. :grin: Shame on you, Guts. I've actually been humming that song all day!

But when I first started participating in ID message boards (mostly ARN), I was <strong>sure</strong> that ID was obviously true, and I thought my opponents were just being obtuse. It took a few run-ins with ID critics, such as Nick, JP, gedanken, and others, to knock some of the "attitude" out of me, and help me see the other side might have a point. Since then I've learned a lot from you about how to approach this topic. Thanks for being a good teacher. Thanks, Mike.

For those who don't know Bilbo, let me offer up my endorsement (for what it's worth). I've watched Bilbo argue for years. He characteristically treats his opponents with great respect and maintains a strong open-minded, independent streak, relying on critical thinking skills and a willingness to ask probing questions to members of both sides of the aisles. The contributors to TT approach ID not as something that is so patently obvious where we demand critics to acknowledge/embrace it, but as something with potential that raises the most fascinating questions about life. Bilbo nicely exemplifies that spirit and I trust readers will enjoy his addition to the crew. Okay, let me finally get serious.

That, and the huge cardboard ring. It has that "high school drama class" air to it.
