It can't be good when someone attempting to discuss these issues needs to have really basic algebra explained to them.
I'm reminded of when I was doing my A Levels at school (the last two years of high school, for you tax dodging colonials). When we wrote essays the idea was to be descriptive (rather than analytical).
It was an exercise in showing the teacher that you had put the work in and covered the body of knowledge appropriately.
As I did social sciences this boiled down to some variation of "Dr X suggests that 'X, Y and Z' is true, however Professor Q challenges this idea by saying 'A, B and C' is true".
That shows teacher you have done your work to learn (but not necessarily understand) the various conflicting theories.
I would suggest that all this quoting people saying 'X, Y and Z' and debating what was said (as opposed to debating the evidence) is indication of an absence of analysis going on, in a couple of threads recently.
This can be done without actually understanding subject to any great degree.
Kind of like the difference between A Level essays and post grad essays. This thread is a good example, I think, of this issue.

The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.

Moreover that view is a blatantly anti-relativistic one. I'm rather inclined to think that space being relative to time and time relative to location should make such a naive hankering to pin-point an ultimate origin of anything, an aspiration that is not even wrong.
Well, Larni, let's say I much better know what I don't want to say than how exactly say what I do.

Re: This ain't about the physics
This isn't about physics, this is about you feeling a belief of yours being threatened, and you want to keep that belief, so you're gonna attack it by pretending to talk about physics.
I would say it goes further than this. Pretty much every one of Designtheorist threads have been to defend her world view and to defend the logical fallacies made during said defence.
With all due humility I called this some time ago.

Re: Does any of this matter or even make sense?
I've not seen any evidence contradicting the central point.
If you can't be taught by the likes of the good doctor Cavediver I fail to see how you could learn anything, here.
Sorry to be frank.

Re: Parable
Pretty much sums up Designtheorist, to a tee.
Full marks and welcome to EvC.

Were I to use my powers for evil I would not be allowed back into the Avenger's mansion. I'd have to go hang with bloody Ant-Man

Re: Designtheorist
If I was pushed I would say he is patriarchal and maybe running his own business (he is his own boss). If he has kids he mainly has girls.
He has a study which no one else really goes into. The dominant colour of his airy house is beach.
His car is old but lovingly maintained: in fact, I'm getting engineer vibes, but maybe more architectural, perhaps an artist? Not a grease monkey.
He also knows (or has known) somebody called Arthur, David or James. Christian is in there somewhere, too.
I'm guessing his name is Tom or Jon.
My powers grow weak....I must rest....
