Hopeless. You didn't win the argument. You just think you did. I never lie, btw. Accusing someone of lying should be backed up by some facts.

Hopeless.

Unsubstantiated assertion.

You didn't win the argument.

Unsubstantiated assertion. Your decision not to answer my points as thoroughly as I answered yours weighs against you circumstantially.

You just think you did.

Unsubstantiated assertion. You are not privy to my mental states.

I never lie, btw.

If true, a very impressive statement.

Accusing someone of lying should be backed up by some facts.

(1) I didn't accuse you of lying. Lying is making untrue statements with intent to deceive, which I don't think you did. What I do think is that you assumed Darwinism preceded and inspired genetic research and you made a sweeping and erroneous statement based on your false assumption. You did not know that you were quite wrong, therefore you did not intentionally deceive, or lie to, anyone.

(2) However, the fact is you said that genetics had its foundations in Darwinism. In point of historical fact, it did not. It was developed independently of Darwinism, did not rely on Darwin's theories in any way and was actually ignored completely by two generations of Darwinists.
