[Alamo-Girl]

I have never insinuated any such thing, allmendream. Are you hallucinating?

In just a week, I've been accused by two pro-evolution correspondents of saying things I specifically did not say.

And in just one paragraph in his post 259, allmendream not only did that but also instructed me in what I know (as if he could read my mind) and threw up a strawman which asserts - now get this - that he can demonstrate his knowledge which I specifically did not question in the first place! (the post to which he replied)

You can question my credentials all you want - but can you dispute my knowledge of the subject? It would be hard to do so considering how little you know of it and how easily I can demonstrate my knowledge of it.

Jeepers ... that last line reminds me of a peacock strutting his feathers and quaking.

Except in this case bb did specifically say what I said that she had said - moreover she took the occasion of me quoting her saying what she had just DENIED she said - by doubling down and making the exact SAME argument - conflating acceptance of a scientific theory with atheism - by claiming I had to be an atheist.

It is amusing to me that creationists cannot seem to argue against a scientific theory without making an argument against atheism - making baseless accusations of atheism - and/or condemning those who disagree to hell.

I guess that is what one is reduced to when making an argument from ignorance.

Thanks for posting sister in Christ. I will pray for you.

Dear allmendream, neither Alamo Girl nor I has ever called into question your credentials and expertise as a working scientist. Not once, not ever.

Frankly, we have no use for argumentum ad hominem debate tactics. They are "all heat and no light," thus thoroughly counterproductive; and therefore to be avoided in principle.

And so, we don't question your bona fides, on principle.

Capice?
