As to the blackened mountain, there was some question about what gave the mountain the dark appearance. The fact remains that there is a dark topped mountain in the right secession of ducts corroborating my acclaimed evidences
All I'm stating about the mountain is that it does appear black topped and it is in the right place in the row. That's it. My understanding is that researchers are not allowed access for study on it.
Message 506 is your reference message, and it contains no evidence of a mountain that is "black topped," and no evidence of a row of mountains only one of which is "black topped." Please produce this evidence before moving on to anything else.
About lack of access to the region, let's say someone's been stealing your garden tomatoes, and a neighbor comes to you and says he has a picture of someone in the act and that it is Old Weird Bob from down the street. You ask to see the picture, but your neighbor won't show it to you. Do you then conclude it was Old Weird Bob, or do you get just a little bit suspicious that you're not permitted to see the photograph.
You see, Buz, what I know is that this really is a sacred mountain and that buried at its base at the foot of a perpetual and mysterious fountain is an ancient document stating that Unitarianism is the one true religion. Unfortunately we're not permitted access, so you'll just have to take my word for it. I know I don't have Wyatt's flair, but hey, trust me!
Sorry the digression, but I'm making a point. One must have evidence, and in the absence of evidence one must refrain from reaching conclusions. At EvC Forum we seek to keep discussions firmly grounded in evidence, and you continually refer to your "corroborated evidences supportive to your hypothesis." So please produce the evidence for these blackened mountain tops.
As moderator I have no stake in the outcome of this discussion. My sole concern is that though your messages continually refer to evidence in your earlier messages, when I examine those messages I can find no such evidence, and no one else can find it either. Your recent history is that when you join a thread you turn the other participants into beggars for evidence, and this is the last place that this should happen. That's why we're going through this exercise of actually identifying your evidence. I don't care whether the evidence supports a flood or the Exodus or anything else Biblical. All I care about is that when a member claims evidence exists then it damn well better exist:
- Avoid any form of misrepresentation.
