Re: 22 Messages From Creationists To People Who Believe In Evolution
Look, if you want to debate a point, that's fine. But can you at least debate against something relevant to my position?
*ugh*
I find it irritating to say the least if me pointing out that the entire foundation for your line of argument is 100.0% false... is regarded as not relevant (?!).
Frankly, that's about as relevant as it can possibly get. That's a point that isn't even debatable anymore to any degree as it's just a complete error in plain sight negating your entire argumentation.
Put in other words : if an entire bulding collapses into itself because its foundation was built on sand and made of grossly inadequate materials - you really don't discuss whether the window dressing in that building was appropriate or not.
I'm not going to debate anything when it's clear you have no idea what I meant in the first place. You don't get to tell me what my position is, that's my job!
Hmkay, so it looks like I scored a direct hit dead-center, sorry to hear that the truth hurts you.
PS.
If that statement of yours that I quoted was not intended to read what it clearly read, then you had more than enough time to correct or specify.
Since you didn't, I assume it's exactly what you meant and naturally represents your position. If that for some really wicked reason is not the case, please stop discussing in internet forums for a while and work on your communication skills ASAP (reason : you'd basically be incapable to express your position in writing !? )
You didn't score anything -- we're not even playing on the same board.
I'm not going to debate against someone who adamantly claims he understands the arguments I present when he clearly does not.
The reason that it's clear you have no idea what I'm trying to say is because you pulled the "he said something that doesn't epitomize the glory of the scientific method, so he obviously must hate anything and everything resulting from the scientific method" straw man of of your you-know-what.
Science leads to technological developments which are arguably the greatest contributor to the continually-improving quality of life on Earth. I would never deny its utility.
I suggest you reread what I said, recognize that you're simply framing my arguments into a context you're more familiar with, and then apologize.
