You must demonstrate your understanding of logic by putting it in practice. When logic puts the full nelson on your argument, pretending it's nonsense does not release the hold. Demonstrate your proficiency in logikos by answering my questions rather than avoiding them. I submit that you not only cannot give a logical explantion but that you will likely avoid the question as you have previously.

So after running on and on about "logic logic logic", Dataman immediately goes to:

The lurkers are watching. So give it another try.
Matter: is it
eternal
or
created?

Someone who was actually as logical as he thought he was wouldn't stub his toe so badly on such a blatant "false dichotomy" fallacy...

It's only a false dichotomy if there is a third choice. What is the third choice? Matter was either created or it was not created.
