Re: Dr. A Impersonators
How do you know who I was talking about?? Could've been a number of people.
Maybe I just wanted to see who would respond, maybe I was being trollish and speaking of myself.

Re: Percy is raising the distress flag
You are still sticking by your word though right, about demanding evidence from evasive posters? You are a man or you word right, Admin, er I mean Percy?
Threads with the evidence have been posted, and you have been asked to participate there. What is stopping you? Why won't you deal with this evidence in the appropriate threads?
ABE: I am very familiar with the ERV evidence if you want to post there. I could help with any misunderstandings you may have as it pertains to endogenous retroviruses and how they evidence shared ancestry.
Edited by Taq, : No reason given.

Re: Ok, I'll give my opinion ...
I gave you 4 pieces of evidence.
Clearly all that information has overwhelmed your mind.
So, what was the point of you asking for evidence?
Did you simply need more facts to ignore to justify your church membership?
You appear to have reached the point where you are trolling your own threads.

Re: This is the whole point of the bullshit.
I think you have some spelling mistakes here.
The correct phrase is " I give up. I can't think of any evidence. I completely surrender."
Nevermind, feel free to use whatever spelling you like. I got your point.
I will reiterate Percy's post:
I would be more than happy to answer your questions in the first selection. Will you be participating?

Are you crying?
Is your mommy calling you for bed? Your nose must be really red from crying for so long.
Where was your whining about the topic when Buzsaw and Percy were discussing the exodus? Or when jar was asking for ID evidence. Or when Taz was discussing Newton and Galileo. Or when Crashfrog was discussing E. O. Wilson? Or when you were going off on your creationists rants and claiming Behe is afraid to contradict the scriptural records.
Have you been crying all along, and you just couldn't take the pain any longer?
Forgive me for laughing so hard at your sudden outrage. I can see what asking for evidence does to you. Need some tissues?

And this is why we can not have adult conversations with creationists.

Re: Ok, I'll give my opinion ...
Panda, I asked you very clearly, were those your chooses, and are those your best 4?
I will be happy to get to them, but I want to be fair and give everybody who isn't crying a chance first.
Lets just make sure you don't try to move the goalposts later and claim that this isn't your BEST evidence.

Re: Are you crying?
You can start having an adult conversation by explaining where your outrage was for all those tangents during this thread that I just mentioned. Were you as pained by them as you are about my demands for you to back up your specious claims with evidence?
Why should I take you seriously if your clearly have such blinders on for things you don't want to accept?

evasive
Four please. In any order of importance you like. just make sure they are your best 4.
You are sounding very evasive and like you want to run away to a safer place were Percy can protect you from giving real answers.
Is it so hard to come up with 4 personal favorites? I thought you were knowledgeable about the subject. How long does it take to choose 4?

Bounder-Dash is right about this
You can let me know if you want to surrender though. No need to go through all the formalities of changing your avatar and making it look like some necessary administrative action.
You know, Boulder, this I actually agree with you about.
I've long been critical of the absurd notion that moderators can preserve objectivity and moderate threads they participate in by having two accounts. In the past it's led to some truly ridiculous exchanges where moderators actually argue with themselves as though they're two different people.
In your way, you've blundered right into a genuine criticism of the moderators at EvC, and I believe that as the board culture settled in on the conceit that the moderator account and the regular account were actually two different people, it actually was corrosive to creationist participation.

It seems that indeed you did grasp my point completely. It was to show you behave like a child and a douche. Thank you sir, for not disappointing.
If you'd like to have an actual conversation, instead of being an immature douche, I suggest taking it to the threads mentioned to you on several occasions now.

Re: I know its not easy crash
But don't worry, I will get to your little convergence problem, after you have had a little more time to try to come up with something better first.
No, I'm happy to put this forth as the best I have to offer. (That's why I keep it bookmarked, I think of it as my "greatest hit.") Understand that I have a relatively high bar for what I will consider a "rebuttal" compared to what you seem to think suffices, but I'd genuinely love to have you participate in that thread.
I'm fine with the one.

Well I guess its going to take a lot longer than 12 hours for you each to come up with any evidence. I mean I knew it was going to be hard for you, its 4 after-all, but still I had no idea how hard. I do know that you are all geniuses about this topic, because you say so all the time, so...
Ok, well you can have another 12 hours to think of it, maybe with your exquisite scientific minds you can power your resources together and come up with something. If the best thing you have to account for all of the diversity of life we see on the planet is the recurrent laryngeal nerve, just let me know. I will be happy to register this as incriminating evidence numero uno!

I suggest YOU stop interfering in this thread unless YOU have something to offer. Otherwise piss off.

Re: I know its not easy crash
Ok, great. But I just want to make sure I get a complete list first.
I feel a little bad though, you know. I mean for the greatest, most tested theory on the planet to have to defend itself with one recurrent laryngeal nerve and convergent lice-but ok I guess if that's all ya got its all ya got.
No cheating though, there will be no claiming you had something better later.
