" Your arguments tend to be at the level of a third grader, so no adult response is required."

Argumentum Ad Hominem

" Not at all. You are simply illogical, creationist or not."

Prove I am illogical. ARGUE ONE POINT.

"Wrong again. I said you had not proved anything and I said it because you haven't. There is no semantic game here of "it's impossible to prove anything" except in your own mind. I guess you really like that strawman since you bring it up at every opportunity."

Okay I'll play your game. The possibility that I cannot prove anything contradicts itself. If nothing can be proved, then it cannot be proved that nothing can be proved. If thats not semantic nothing is.

"You sure are obsessed with putting me in that atheist/Nazi/Communist/Satanist box - where in this thread did I say no gods exist?"

Just because you didn't say it, does not mean that is not your position, contradicting every point that creationists make, is a pretty good sign you don't believe there is a god. If you believe there is a god, then quit arguing with me.

"You need to stop reacting like a child and think logically about what you are trying to say. If you don't understand something, ask like an adult - or you will doomed to be mistaken for a fundamentalist-liberal-girlyman for the rest of your life."

Even if I am reacting like a child, my arguments are not fallacies, whereas yours are.

Oh and that's great, more Ad Hominem. You're labeling me a liberal now. What makes me a liberal? The fact that I believe a god exists? Think again Mr. Strawman.

[Sigh] Okay, pick one.

Okay I'll play your game. The possibility that I cannot prove anything contradicts itself. If nothing can be proved, then it cannot be proved that nothing can be proved. If thats not semantic nothing is.

[Big Sigh] You seem to overlook the fact (again) that nobody is saying that but you.

As I stated earlier today, I do not care what you believe, only what you can establish by evidence and logical inference. Picking holes in poor arguments is the easy way to clue you in that you need to back up what you assert.

That was the truth disguised as a joke, son. Laugh if you don't get it.
