    It seems you are confusing the issues, which is pretty disingenuous on it's own. You don't have to have faith you're chair won't collapse when it is pretty demonstrable in an of itself. Having faith in something that is easily provable is pretty contrary to the whole concept of faith in the religious sense. The faith required by religious doctrine is supposed to be proof in the face of an insurmountable lack of evidence. Simply redefining the term to meet your argument is a matter of semantics which is a sidetrack from the actual argument. You claim many many things point to gods existence, but you can you can you actually provide a real example? If so then why bother with faith? You're argument gets really circular really quick.

    You have a basic fallacy in your argument. Anyone that even hints at giving any validity to ID at all truly understands NOTHING about theory or science. Simply accepting evolution puts you light years ahead of any purveyor or creationist myth no matter how you package it.

    This still seems like a bit of a strawman argument. Instead of attacking the validity of whether the teaching of evolution as fact is mandatory, you worry whether the state can shift with science. I'd rather get the religious and creationist idiocy out of scientific education first then worry about changing the specifics.

    There is a difference between knowledge and faith. Faith is based on a supposition with no evidence or manufactured evidence. It seems you're using a bit of hyperbole when you say:

    most "Evolutionists" are not scientists at all and they are close minded and acting on faith

    Aside from that "Experts" are actual tangible physical people that can be proved to exist, unlike any of god.

    If someone proposes a better theory, it will be tested and if it meet the bar it will be followed. It's not like evolutionists are closed minded idiots acting on faith, they're scientists and act based on verifiable evidence. I think you have evolutionists confused with the ID crowd.

    Way to come out and fight for your cause AC. If in fact, the claim of

    A personal computer may be a desktop computer or a laptop, tablet, or a handheld PC.

    Then the numbers are still in my favor.

    Skate to where the puck will be not where it is.

    No one was arguing about the future numbers, we're talking about the present and with roughly 41% of all computational devices running a windows base OS, then obviously the claim of apple dominance of the market patently false. If you're only defense is to resort to personal attack and hurt feelings then I'm obviously not the one with a problem here.

    Apple sells overpriced shiny garbage manufactured by slave labor so of course they have a higher profit margin, but that has nothing to do with market share. So while you may have pretty pictures, you obviously are lacking a coherent argument. Good day sir.

    It pretty much has. Microsoft still has a considerable margin of the market share in the personal computer arena. Tablets are not personal computers, they are tablets, and if you really want to compare mobile devices, well I have bad news for you there too.
