I said that there is no reason to take seriously your contention if you refuse to back it up.

A contention does not have to be taken seriously even with some evidence. "The Duke guys are guilty"-- to paraphrase Malik Shabaz.

[2nsdammit]

Aha! I think I figured it out! You made a totally unsupported statement, without any real purpose, called it a contention (rather than some other thesaurus-derived synonym), and it resulted in 100-odd posts!

"A contention does not have to be taken seriously even with some evidence."

True, but there is no reason to take it seriously at all when no evidence at all is provided. That is the case with your claim. You act as if the lack of evidence you have provided is a strength for your contention. I am sure Tom Cruise feels the same way about thetans and Xenu.

You're spinning like a Clinton. And I need some sleep.

Hope that fantasy thing works out for ya. :)

Nope. I know what a contention is. I'm happy to know you are a mind reader neophyte. What color is your head scarf?

[RunningWolf]

Well CG, no one (but a few weak minded evos) has ever taken any of your contentions any more seriously "than the contention that thetans infest human bodies and need to be expelled through Scientology"
And certainly you have never established that your judgment's (as they were) carry any authority beyond the tiny limits of your own fantasy world shared once again perhaps by a few, very few weak minded individuals who might wrongly see something in your obsessed relentless rantings.

Half right.

Oh now you are into the mind of Tom Cruise too!! LOLOL I should have known.

And please don't ping me any more.

Yet another one bites the dust??? Who will be left to defend your side of the debate, if this keeps up? When the best are gone, that is?

With deep personal regrets, Professor, I respect your wish, and will comply.

Good night, Professor.

LOL at the classic, so predictable evolutionist response: Instead of considering the common-sense answer for a nano-instant and saying, "Hmmm, maybe these things aren't as old as we thought," they without hesitation go directly to the most ridiculously unlikely scenario and start explaining how soft tissue managed to hang around for 65 million years. A CLASSIC example of the blind loyalty to evolution. When the next paradigm breaks down, we'll see the same thing again.

An evolutionist will twist heaven and Earth (pun intended) to stay within the framework, no matter the contortions required. And will have the gall to laugh at a creationist for being unscientific.

Satan's scales are thick and tight.

Alas, I'm also on the no-ping-please list for a number of otherwise fascinating correspondents. Oh well, we can always carry on a conversation with each other!

I don't see how a hat could itself fossilize, were it made of material such as cloth, felt, or leather. I suppose it could leave an impression to fossilize in the mud in which it was buried...

[King Prout]

now, are you going to answer the challenge?
be aware, I intend to rebut any answer you give to the challenge, showing how "right" is indeed defined by the might of the one making the definitions.

I should note that I erred - I did not specifiy that "right" in this application specifically excludes mathematically correct solutions to specific problems, mechanically sound design, etc... we are speaking SOLELY of the form/concept of "right" tied to "morality"

carbon dating (ie: radiometric dating by measuring levels of radioactive isotope C-14) is useful only back to about 50,000 years ago, and only for dating the remains of organisms. Beyond that, and for inanimate objects such as igneous rock, other forms of radioisotopes with much longer half-lives are used. hit the books. learn some.
