“No way.”

Wow. Hadn’t thought of that argument. Did you have to work very hard to come up with it?

“And your ad hominin attack”

I didn’t make one. But you did. Avoid using terms you don’t understand and can’t spell.

Your initial argument is a textbook case of ad ignorantiam. I was polite enough to not point this out directly. The second fallacy of your original argument is dicto simpliciter. If you want to explore logic and logical fallacies, look them up.

“is my final killer evidence.”

You have no evidence or logical argument, killer or otherwise. That’s the point.

“You lose schmuck”

This is ad hominem. Not all attacks are personal, and not all personal attacks are ad hominem. Ad hominem applies when a person tries to draw a logical conclusion based on a criticism of his or her opponent. That’s EXACTLY what you did. I did not.

When a person has to resort to name-calling and is unable to rely on logic, reason, and facts, it demonstrates a lack of intelligence and poor character.

As long as a person only understands things that can be explained with a sound bite, that person will remain forever ignorant.

If reading or thinking through an issue is too painful for you, I suggest leaving the heavy lifting for others who actually enjoy these things.

I come here to learn things and stay informed. It’s very difficult for me to respect people who imagine they are leading the race when they missed the starting gun.
