"Leave you ad hominem attacks at the door, my friend; it is an unprovoked attack on the poster's character. Besides, you haven't accomplished anything with that statement except prove your inability to argue coherently. "
--Hm.. I must confess, I have never been made aware as to a definition of 'ad hominem', I know its usage, but I'd like to know exactly what it is synonymous toward for more accuracy on that point. Thanks

"Well, an ad hominem attack is an attack on the person's character instead of the argument at hand. It's a fallacy because the character is not at issue here. "
--Yes I fully agree, though I think I knew what ad hominem was as you said it, though I was looking for more along the lines of a dictionary definition. Is it interchangeable with another word or am I trying to make ad hominem seem like an abbreviation?

"seems to me that all of you who dont know the one and only true god thru faith..ahumm your own faith.. which is weaker than a card made house, seem to find the time to detail your thoughts and comments knowing more about the bible than i do. i find that simply funny.
also.. that goofball who gave the inital joke about : who made the cow.. is a joke.. seriously a joke made to burr the christian followers of Jesus. Simply a weak mind made that joke up.. ALSO when all of you finish your laffable posts, and one day you meet the true God... you will find out too late for your souls, you waste your time debating and not believing.. try to look to the truth.. and the truth is the word of God.. thru faith you believe..not debate.
GROW UP YOU MEN OF WORLDLY THOUGHTS. Even the faith of a child is able to believe. But you few seem to want to add weights to your thoughts to enable you to be rewarded wordly by other men by expressing your foolish thoughts and untruthfull finds by other mens
foolish writtings or lies..and you choose to believe them.. "
--At least my faith grows and prospers upon objectivity. Your subjective emotionally weighted mind-set is something I do not carry. Prov. 18:2, 'A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own opinion.' Prov. 14:15, 'The simple believes every word, but the man of insight makes sure where he is going'.
--'Doinker', Your pre-teen quibbles & personal incredulity suffices ignorance.

"someone tell me what is to gain with this childish bickering.. please post soon ..sheesh. "
--I don't know, this 'childish bickering' didn't start untill you started posting. Also, this is the 'free for all' forum, so your going to get flames flying all over the place, but I have yet to see much of that 'childish bickering'.

"are you born again....
i am..
there is nothing so funny as a fat tripped up bunny as he trys to run away....hey creation dude....lol i love to cause people to post...thats what this is for..it fills my spare time...and i get a kick out of it.. dont care what you all think of my post... i just cant stop laughing at thoes who have to research their answers just to post a reply to a simple man as me.."
--I don't think anyone has to research to counter the assertions in your posts...There is something that you should realise, this is a forum, a relatively serious forum at that. Sure we like to 'casualize' things at times, though there is an exchange in ideas here which are posted with a concerned mind attempting to expand their intellect & grasp the objective world and understand the mechanics of the universe & every little thing in it. Give it a try, it may be tough for a guy such as yourself, but its fully encouraged.
"im not a teen im 46...i dont use big words not used daily in normal conversation..i think these post are just what some of you need.."Hey lookie me i wrote some big ole words that no one else can understand and that makes me feel big!" That is how i see the rest of you who post fancy stuff.. yeah..stuff...."
--We post thems bit ole fancy shmancy jargon for clarification. For instance, when your talking about plate tectonics, your not going to refer to the plates as 'thems flat thingies that be flying round da big blue orange' or something like that... We don't think were 'all big n' stuff!', but we do think that were attempting to understand a process or help another understand it.
"you may have the brain power to post fancy words and all, but you lack in FAITH to believe even in the simple things.. didnt your momma ever tell you ,, just believe...because thats the way it is...."
--You should read my last post, the two verses I supplied are perfect at this time:
-Prov. 18:2, 'A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own opinion.'
-Prov. 14:15, 'The simple believes every word, but the man of insight makes sure where he is going'.
--Both of them apply directly to your attitude here.
"i got a dog smarter than all of you..lol you all make me laugh... and i hope you post to me lots of stuff.. cause im bored , and i need attention lol.. oopss i just gave your weak minds something to post about..FLAME ON GOOF BALLS! i can take it , and i can dish it out.. bRING it ON..hahahaha
doinker...i got the brains of a snail.. but i can cross water by the wind. what can you do. lol "
--Please just consider what were trying to tell you. If you can at least do this, I may not consider posting to you a couple times as a complete waist of time. And yes, I am a 'person of faith' & consider myself born again as a Christian.

"I DID NOT POST : I BET YOUR STUNNED IM NOT THAT DUMB.. SOMEONE ELSE DID SILLY.. AND BEING UNREGISTURD, ANYONE CAN POST AS ME..SO I DIDNT DO IT IM NOT THAT STUPID... SHEESH."
--I think you were right, it is fun to mess with you . On a more serious note, maybe you should register that name before someone else does and makes you look even dumber, eh? Just a tip.
