Inefficient thread
You know, if you had just started this thread with this post, you could have saved us all a lot of time, and Percy a bit of bandwidth. But perhaps you weren't yet ready to show your true stripes.
You can all go to hell.
Yes, but do you have any evidence of this hell of which you speak?

It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate
Howling about evidence is a conversation stopper, and it never stops to think if the claim could possibly be true -- foreveryoung

Re: Inefficient thread
I can't give you evidence because you won't fucking tell me what evidence is. You mutherfuckers like throwing that word around because it is absolutely meaningless. It will remain meaningless until you can define it in a meaningful way that somebody other than your atheistic drones can use.

Definition of evidence
Fact f is evidence supporting hypothesis h if the existence of f makes h more likely.
For example, if the hypothesis is that creationists are whiny little babies who can't take criticism and eventually resort to insults and melodramatic exits, only to repeatedly return, your behavior at this site in general and in this thread in particular would be evidence in support of that hypothesis.
Is that a clear enough definition for you, Cupcake?

Yeah, this isn't the kind of discourse we want around here. Take some time off. 48 hours should do the trick. It would have been 24, but you made several similar posts in a short time period.

tbh: we were expecting you to use a dictionary or google.
Was that too much to expect?
Well, here is a brief description from Wiki:
quote:
Evidence in its broadest sense includes everything that is used to determine or demonstrate the truth of an assertion. Giving or procuring evidence is the process of using those things that are either (a) presumed to be true, or (b) were themselves proven via evidence, to demonstrate an assertion's truth. Evidence is the currency by which one fulfills the burden of proof.
foreveryoung writes:

You appear to have confused your own ignorance of the meaning of evidence with an actual absence of meaning.
foreveryoung writes:

Evidence has never been meaningless - you have simply been uneducated.
quote:
In scientific research evidence is accumulated through observations of phenomena that occur in the natural world, or which are created as experiments in a laboratory or other controlled conditions. Scientific evidence usually goes towards supporting or rejecting a hypothesis.
One must always remember that the burden of proof is on the person making a contentious claim.(Wiki)
You can read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_evidence

Tradition and heritage are all dead people's baggage. Stop carrying it!

If nothing else, you gotta give the little pissant credit for staying on message.

May I humbly suggest that our suspended friend is a troll.

I decided to - him to make a statement(like everyone else), then I clicked plus.. oops.. Ignore that one.
Edit: oh it's fixable. >_> Pardon me. All I can add foreveryoung might do well do take a look at the ''love others as you love yourself'' rule a bit better. The fact he will probably rage at me for even suggesting this makes it even sadder.

I still think he's a troll but if you're right I sincerely think he needs help.
