Hello there...
Not sure if you remember me... but a few years ago, we had "debated" (if you'd call it that... me, I was more screaming...) topics about how the earth was formed and whatnot. Then, I ragequit in the end, blocking you.
I came back today to apologize.
I hadn't forgotten that discussion since then. And as I continued to read more, study more, and grow more... in my faith, in what we know thus far of the world around us, and where they overlap... I realized that you weren't totally wrong. I still don't totally agree with your position... but I don't totally disagree with it either. Not anymore, that is.
I still feel crappy about how I ended the whole thing. I do know why I did it, but it's still crappy. If anything, I hurt my position when I terminated the discussion the way I did. If I'm to be brutally honest, I was at the peak of my pride, and I left the argument feeling bitter and butthurt. In my arrogance, I thought I'd be able to shut down any counterargument with the knowledge I had at hand at the time... and in my arrogance, when I couldn't convince you of the validity of my argument, I shut you out in the rudest way possible.
What I realized over these past few years after our debate was that you actually helped me to realize that this understanding of mine wasn't as cut-and-dry as I made it out to be.
Really... I should be thanking you.
I had meant to convey this apology much earlier... but with the combination of my not-so-eloquent ways of expressing myself, my fear of making apologies, and me sometimes just plain forgetting to deliver the apology in the first place... it was held off for several years.
But I'm here now.
And I wish to say... truly... that I'm sorry for the way I acted during and after our debate.
Would you be willing to forgive me?

Do not worry, no harm nor foul was done. Thus there is nothing to forgive, but actually to be impressed by the growth you've done over the years.
This kind of discussion happens a lot online, especially during the teenage years where tempers can flare if the topic is something we are really passionate about.
The world is vast and full of things to discover, some may go along with our personal beliefs, others may clash with them, but never forget to follow the evidence wherever it leads. In the end, what you discover might be more impressive than what you thought it was.
Continue to be curious!

Let’s play a game! So I just FAV’d four of your art pieces that I seriously loved. If you want, do the same for me. Then after, do the same for someone else. If we keep doing this, we can make a chain and support everyone’s art. Even help the people who’s art gets lost in the search! Also after post this in the comments of the person you FAV’d!

De rien, ton style est fort intéressant alors autant bien observer (et possiblement continuer à apprendre)!

I saw your comments on the Creationist stamp and blimey, that girl is an idiot.
And if your intention was to "educate" me, you should have asked about debating in the first place because I didn't read your reply.
You explained (partially) correctly why those 10 arguments were flawed, but that ***** won't listen. Just don't try to argue with religious people in the future, they can't reason nor question their faith.

Alas, it's a bad habit I have when it comes to people making false assumptions about scientific theories. But sometimes, rarely I admit, one actually try to learn about the subject.

They would very rarely start to believe in a "theistic evolution" (accepting evolution + their faith), but the majority of fundies like her just have a really closed mind no one can change.
I disliked how you carefully explained the flaws in her "10 arguments against evolution" and she simply says "I didn't actually read your reply, I don't want to discuss this because I'm not a science person".
Seriously, every argument with a creationist / believer will end up being the same. I'll try to not discuss with religious people online in the future.

I guess I was lucky a few times then. In two cases last month from the "Bill nye" video, it lead to two people actually starting to read about biology, among other subjects, from actual biologists.
But I admit, some..are more stubborn than others.
