Re: Nice that you know
How the ad hominems do proliferate.
What ad hominems? There is not even one in SNC's post. It's a fact that "You have demonstrated on here time and time agian that you know little to nothing about geology, biology and science in general". Not only that, but seem proud of your ignorance. I think the general concensus is that SNC paints a very accurate picture of you.

Re: Nice that you know
talking about ME instead of the topic is an ad hominem.
Not necessarily, from Ad hominem - Wikipedia
Validity
Ad hominem is fallacious when applied to deduction, and not the evidence (or premise) of an argument. Evidence may be doubted or rejected based on the source for reasons of credibility, but to doubt or reject a deduction based on the source is the ad hominem fallacy.
Premises discrediting the person can exist in valid arguments, when the person being criticized is the sole source for a piece of evidence used in one of his arguments.
1. A committed perjury when he said Q.
2. We should not accept testimony for which perjury was committed.
3. Therefore, A 's testimony for Q should be rejected.
