Are these NOT your words? d) These are intelligent people with an evolutionary mechanism built-in to prevent them from acknowledging their own final death without an afterlife, which prevents extreme depression (Yes, this is a real hypothesis I have researched ) You hint around the fact that you have researched but yet you give no evidence of this research....Hmmmmmm. You DID elude to the fact that you believe in some form of "evolution" with your above statement. YOU are either illiterate or a morron. You dance around the issues and continue to set up straw men. You demand an answere to your ridiculous questions but yet you will not respond to a simple question. .......the fossil record?
You will find that what axeman doesn't know he makes up as he goes along. A clue is when he starts setting up his straw men and shouting in many posts in quick succession and re-stating his same points over and over, an important clue he is over his head, he knows or suspects you're right and he is trying to hang on. Take it from me, i have experienced his "logic" Axeman's EGO will not permit a concession or even the smallest loss on any point no matter how trivial. He will never "allow" this to happen. Haven't you noticed that he is "right" on every point on every topic? He will never concede no matter how right you may be, no matter how much evidence you muster, no matter how logical your arguments. You are wasting your time. Just sit back and watch with amusement like I do these days. Again, just experience taking here.
Are these NOT your words? d) These are intelligent people with an evolutionary mechanism built-in to prevent them from acknowledging their own final death without an afterlife, which prevents extreme depression (Yes, this is a real hypothesis I have researched ) Would you care to explain what this has to do with anything at all?? I was addressing darkhorses fallacious argument which only allowed two choices, and I provided several more example possibilities as proof of more choices. You hint around the fact that you have researched but yet you give no evidence of this research....Hmmmmmm. "You DID elude to the fact that you believe in some form of "evolution" with your above statement." Thats because im not asserting this is true! Wow your clueless. Im simply pointing out the EXISTENCE of alternative theories. I never asserted this evolutionary god belief theory is true, or that I even believe in it. Talk about strawmen. Can you say cluuuueeeeless. Learn to read buddy. You DID elude to the fact that you believe in some form of "evolution" with your above statement. I did no such thing. You simply lack reading comprehension skills. LOL. I provided an alternative example for darkhorse which contained an evolutionary hypothesis for god belief. This is NO WAY constitutes me asserting the evolution is true, or that I even BELIEVE in the hypothesis. "YOU are either illiterate or a morron." Apprently you are the illiterate moron, since you cant tell the difference between me proposing alternative possibilities and me ASSERTING that evolution is true "You dance around the issues and continue to set up straw men." An empty assertion. POINT OUT the strawman, instead of simply claiming one exists. "You demand an answere to your ridiculous questions but yet you will not respond to a simple question." Im not the one asserting grand claims such as biblical truth. I have every right to question such nonsense. Point out what I have asserted and THEN you can ask me questions. Otherwise, this is nothing more than a complete DODGE to avoid answering the questions which point out the GLARING errors in biblical texts. Nice try. "I do not see how you can come to this conclusion. The theory of evolution is as much to do with religious belief in origins as an atheistic view of no God. atheism is a religion as much as belief in evolution is a religion." Atheism is a religion????!?! Wow.... you are so clueless that you dont even know that atheism is the LACK OF RELIGIOUS belief. Are you truly THAT ignorant of what atheism is??? If you dont even understand what it is, how could you possibly argue against it? AXE:"I don't have to answer any of his irrelevant questions. CONTRARIAN:"But yet you insist that he answer your irrelevant questions. .....Hmmmmm LOL." Well DUH... **HE** is the one asserting something, therefore the burden of proof is on HIM. Its amazing that you are ciompletely unaware of this simple concept. AXE: If I cant explain why the universe is here, this IN NO WAY lends ANY credibility to his weak position. CONT: Says who? You ofcourse the great almighty axeman speaks. shhhh. shut up and listen the great oracle speaks. LOL. Says who?? Are you really this completely ignorant??? I even gave you a simple example which shows why this is not the case. Helloooo...the lack of an explaination for one thing ** IS NOT ** equivalent to proof for someone else hypothesis. Could this BE anymore obvious?? I even gave you a simple example and apprently you could not even grasp that. LMAO If I ask person A, how did the universe come into being, and he answers: The universe exploded out of CONTRARIANS ass. AND THEN... I ask person B, how did the universe come into being, and person B responds: I DONT KNOW. Does this somehow make persons A hypothesis any more true? LMAOOOOOOOO.... DUH... of course it doesnt! But you seem to think it does. Amazing.... must be some kind of tumor or something Well.... you have proven to us that you dont even understand simple concepts like the burden of proof, or what even constitutes proof. Its no wonder you believe in such nonsense. Now put up, or shut up. Defend your silly biblical position or go away. Attempting to claim that im asserting things which I am in fact NOT, and then demanding that I answer questions for things which I did NOT assert, is an obvious foolish game played by silly theists, to avoid answering any questions regarding their grand empty assertions. Have a nice day peace axeman If person A hypothesis that the universe exploded out of CONTRARIANS ASS, and then person
Longshot is the ONLY ET member dense enough to be on my ignore list, and you had to go and quote him so I could read the idiotic drivel he wrote. Thanks for nothing. Its hilarious to see him make claims which describe himself so perfectly. When caught in an OBVIOUS contradiction, longshot refuses to concede at any cost, no matter how obviously wrong he is. Talk about the kettle calling the pot black. Another ET member explained this behavior beautiful and I have included his post in my signature. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=341724#post341724 he knows or suspects you're right and he is trying to hang on. Now that is truly laughable CONTRARIAN has made so many errors so far, its not even close. He already proved to us he doesnt know what atheism is. Atheism is a religion?? LMAOOO.... its BY DEFINITION the lack of religion. Do I even need to debate this? What a joke. Now go away Longshot. You no longer amuse me. You have been so utterly destroyed in debates, and that makes it so obvious WHY you have now been reduced to nothing more than my personal stalker on ET! LMAO!!! How truly pathetic. Keep following me around with your moronic posts, and prove to everyone that you are an ET stalker with a chip on his shoulder from multiple humiliating defeats What a sore loser. peace axeman You will find that what axeman doesn't know he makes up as he goes along.

Now see, that is a post! Regardless of whether I hold the same beliefs as Darkhorse, the guy is one sharp cat and I can respect his ability to intellectually debate the other side of the coin... You other bubbleheads on this thread should take note!
You'd do well in an ass-kissing contest. Big words and big paragraphs don't mean anything. All that matters is that when you say something, you make people think. darkhorse's posts are verbose sophistry.
Well that guy makes me think, even know I am not on his "side" with the subject matter, hence the post...
