A scarecrow!
There that's my definition. Now we have a place for Phillip to demonstrate that he does no what a strawman arguement is and in what fashion the ToE is a strawman.
He, rightfully, declined to do this where it would be off topic.
But since he has used the term so much I think it would be damaging to his credibility if I didn't give him a chance to demonstrate that he does, indeed, know what he is talking about.

Common sense isn't

good answers - wrong posters
Very nice, but I was kinda thinkin' that Phillip should be given a chance. Now he can at least show us how the ToE is a "strawman" as he has been asserting.

Common sense isn't
