Time out. Hold your horses. 2 minute break.
I would ask that you suspend judgement on the FM for now. Also please allow time for me to present the information fully. As you have realized, this is a huge topic. Precisely because it touches on so many areas.
Also, since my time is extremely limited right now, I cannot present massive amounts of information in a short period of time. Though I have already presented some information to explain the FM and to provide some supporting evidence, there will be more.
All I ask is that you simply ask questions where things are unclear and I'll slowly try to answer them. You might've noticed that I actually do not post to the debate topics very frequently on the forum. But, I do try to fully engage with the participants of the threads. And I value the quality of the posts so I try to take my time constructing them. When people read this thread in the future, they really won't care how long it took for the conversation to occur. But, it will matter how well crafted the posts are. This is the perspective I'm coming from in answering all posts.
So, I ask that we take this thread slowly and methodically. I realize that as I answer more questions, it will generate even more questions. I also realize that what I present is counter to many areas of science influenced by evolutionary thinking. But, I'm willing to tackle all those issues.

Post #24
The forum was hacked this morning and all the posts got corrupted. I was able to restore to a backup from Aug 9, so all posts after that got deleted. However, I save all my posts so I'll be reposting my entries since then. So, from here on, some of my posts might be referring to non-existent posts.
