If you can't remember the posts, clearly you were not concentrating. Repeatedly myself and others have posted the papers, posted the popular science articles, tried to explain to your level of understanding. You refuse to listen.
You then go into (as you just have) ad homenin attacks, thus setting the impression, you are not here to discuss, but either proselytize, or troll.
You also do care, you engage.

Now my friend, you read those issues, those problems from other atheists who don't believe in evolution, you come back to me with why they are wrong
Why those atheists who don't accept evolution are, well you know

See and there is your problem, I've produced the evidence, and you have flat out refused to read it. In several threads you have replied "I don't need to read it, because I know it is wrong". Thus your so called truth is your own bias, and it must be a rather fragile truth if you will not consider evidence which contradicts it.
I also don't rant, I've not started at thread about "why evolution is true" I've been the counterpoint to you and your fellow creationists.

I tapped out on this already.
Interesting points, I'm thinking ego and vanity like most things is the main problem.
Both sides have the same blinders on where they refuse to accept their own biases.
I think the simple answer is that this is sports.
No matter how many championship banners or other "empirical" evidence you show me I will refuse to accept that the Lakers are the best team. It conflicts with my ideal too much so I just reject the idea outright regardless of the evidence.
I guess you need to break someone down first before you can even begin to look at facts.
There may be some ethical concerns with going door to door and waterboarding people, but so far that's the only solution I can come up with.
