Perhaps you can highlight or color code the word for me. I still do not find the word evidence in what ringo provided.
Do you find the word "experience"?
"Evidence" is some thing that we "experience" - the key word being "we". You may expereince feelings subjectively but we experience evidence objectively.
"Fanciful" is not restricted by reason or (objective) experience, while science is.

I think I mentioned that I've been in single debate with a raft of these same posters. I think I advised you to just keep shooting. I have never been accused of running away. If anything, I have been accused of always wanting to have the last word. There's always a last word.
I don't think I've been hostile with you nor have I issued insults either veiled or otherwise. You might try to redeem yourself by responding to my posts as I've responded to you.

And yes, I will not relinquish my right to the last word until all future reference to me or the things I have said has ceased.
Well, we're waiting for you to reference the topic. If you're so fired up about "honest debate", you might try setting an example.
