I think his current expletive driven meltdown is a sign that he is not.
If you want to have fun, read my post on the Midnight Sun, and hit him with it repeatedly. If this is the only observation we mention, he will run screaming
I'm disappointed. I've been in a discussion with SO over at What is an ID proponent's basis of comparison? (edited), and I thought SO was a fairly sophisticated IDist given how much he uses references and excerpts. He's a little short on the details, but then they all are.
But now you mention his behavior over at the Relativity is wrong... thread, and looking it over now it seems possible that he's just a nut who uses references and excerpts as props.
I don't think he is a "troll" as such. I think he genuinely believes his position in both threads to be both evidenced and correct. He may well be a nutter. But I don't, at this stage, doubt the genuineness of his nuttiness.
The question remains as to whether he can be convinced that he might be wrong. Rather than just abuse his stupidity let's find out how glued to his position in the face of contradictory evidence he really is.

Yeah...it would be nice to think there is some way we havent found yet that would convince him he might be wrong....but
it's not gonna happen.
INTERCEPTION! the children! can we get in the way of these forlorn broken people to prevent their stupidity from being passed on....
ah...the hutzpah to take the attitude that we might know better.
It's declarations like this that make you think you're debating with an uninformed 4-year old. It just staggers belief.
Uninformed definatly. I hoped that by taking the most obvious errors and pointing them out. It would give SO pause enough to consider educating himself from adequate sources. I doubt that this will be the case, since in his reply to me, he links a source about Earth's orbit around the Sun, in defense of the Sun orbiting the Earth. The contradiction is mind boggling indeed.
ABE: Sorry, upon closer inspection, it does show the Sun orbiting the Earth. The relative sizes on the diagram threw me off.

While I'm half enjoying my conversation with ICANT at the KCA thread, it's getting a bit frustrating repeating myself.
I feel that I have already done my tour of duty with regard to ICANT and Big Bang cosmology. It can be a self educating experience if nothing else but frustration is inevitable. If you succeed where others have failed I will be very impressed.
Your vid clip reminded me of a conversation I had with my little fella (he's 3) the other day. It started with "Why is it raining?" and proceeded down much the same line......... Maybe I should get him signed up here?

I know that situation all too well.
Their curiosity is inspiring though, we should all question everything.
But get your 4yr old signed up, I'm sure he'll present much more logical arguments than many here...including me.

On a completely unrelated note.... (and I realise the peanut gallery may not be the place for this....) do you speak Spanish? Do your kids?
Given my missus Argentinian heritage we (i.e. she) is trying to bring up the lil fella bilingual. Fantastic idea. But not easy. Have you any advice or insights on doing this in an almost exclusively English speaking country?
If this is not appropriate for the Peanut gallery we can take this elsewhere..............
The Coffee House forum isn't tightly moderated, just be reasonable about topic diversions. It's too early to tell now, but if it turns out that people here have to be a lot to say about bilingual child rearing then open a new thread.
